For my Katie who was born year of the piggy!!!


I saw this piggy at the Dollar Store, and thought it would be cute if I put some extra touches on it for my Katie!!

I cant believe it's been a months since my last post!
























I hope everyone is doing good. We have been having a busy summer with play~dates, birthday parties, lots of get togethers, and I've had a couple of my oldest and dearest friends come and visit me and my family. My girlfriend Allison will be leaving for Afganistan in Sept. Little did she know that a reservist officer would be heading out to the middle east for over 400-days. By the way she is a single mom too. ( Please keep her in your prayers) Allison is amazing, so smart she is now telling us when we are in the car if it's a " red light to stop" and "green light to go" her favorite show now is called The Fresh Beat. She will be playing a instrument in the not so distant future she loves music and playing the drums. I cant believe we've had her almost 2 years. It just doesn't seem possible. She is really expressing how she's chinese and from China. I think it's so cute!



So sorry I've been a lousy blogger! You can catch me on Facebook! I go and fart around on there a little bit each day.
P.S. THIS POST IS FOR YOU KJO!!! I'M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!! LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING YOU THIS MONTH..HUGS GIRLY!!!


P.S.S. CHECK OUT SOME OF MY CUTE PICS OF ALLIE AND THE DOGGIES!!!

LOA BABY!!! 08/28/2009










I am so excited to announce that we recieved our LOA for Katie on Friday. It figures I left the house around 9:00am and the phone call from our China coordinator came in at 9:32am. I was beyond ELATED as we had been waiting 99 days. When asking about approx times we might be going to China, I keep hearing November. I pray that it will be early November so we will not miss Allie's birthday, as she will be staying at her Godparents house while Kelly and I are in China. I'm excited for many reasons, we've had Katie's picture for almost a year now and I cant wait to meet her. Allison is so excited about being a big sister. She cant wait to play games, and dress up like Disney Princess together. We are getting excited about the family shower that is coming up in a few weeks. I cant wait to post the pics. Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers that I asked for on Facebook they were answered. Today, I spent the whole day getting our paperwork done for LOA. So now, I just have to finish collecting all my squares and sending some out to others for their quilts,finsih the quilt book, and get a packing list together. What a great feeling that I have nothing major to do till we get out TA.


Sorry I have been a crummy blogger latley. Have a great week!!!


P.S. NOT A VERY GOOD PIC THIS MORNING OF ME SIGNING THE LOA! BUT MY HUBBY LOOKS HANDSOME!!!

P.S.S. LOOK AT THE ADORABLE BATHING SUITS FOR ALLIE &KATIE I GOT THIS WEEK!

Two Years Ago Today!!!











At approx 9:30am MST, our social worker called and said Ba Jun Yang and I was like what. She said that you had been matched with a beautiful baby girl from Hunan province, she was a little over 8 months old. and she's in foster care. The tricky part was that Kelly had just left for work and that meant that I would have to wait till he got home to see the photos and referral info. So I waited until 8:00pm that night when we could finally celebrate together. That had to have been one of the longest days of my life. Thanks to a good friend of mine, she drove with me 2 hours roundtrip to get the referral packet and she and her mom waited with me till Kelly made it home from work. I would of never dreamed in a million years that Kelly and I could be this happy, our little girl Allie has been a COMPLETE AND UTTER BLESSING IN OUR LIFES. She has made each and every day a better one. We cannot wait to see her in the big sister role. We thank God everyday that he chose her to be our Daughter. We are so blessed!!!!
