Just an update!

Okay so we are still here and we are making progress folks!! This weekend Nate and several others worked their tails off to get the floors laid. I am happy to say that by the end of TODAY all the new floors in our house will be in AND the kitchen cabinets will also be finished!! This is huge people!!! We are still here at my parents house, which I love, b/c of all the extra help and attention. But I am starting to feel awful, because we keep bringing in germs. Last time it was the stomach virus and this time it is pink eye. Yes, Cy decided to get pink eye over the weekend in both eyes so again, sorry to the fam, we just keep spreading germs! Other than that we are all doing great and we even attended one family Christmas celebration over the weekend. (I did not know we had the pink eye at this point!)
Here is a pic I stole from Courtney of the kiddos singing. This has great importance to me, b/c this was the way Cy was supposed to sing at his preschool program last Tuesday. I am sure none of you are surprised that Cy did not sing Jingle Bells like a normal human, instead he left the stage screaming!!! Oh well he sang loud and proud for his great grandmother Stokes and that is all the matters.
We still have several more fun christmas parties and outings, but the pics will have to come later. Hope your holiday week is wonderful!

Still around??

hello blogger friends!
So this is the update from Lankford land! We are still homeless. We have spent the last week or so here at my parents with the exception of last night. On Wednesday night we were blessed with the stomach virus around here so we moved out for a day so that my mom could have her school Xmas party here. Cy started the virus fun on Wendesday evening and then it ran through the house like wildfire! We are all doing better except for Colby who is still having a hard time keeping things in! We moved to Non and Pop's upstairs bonus room and shut the doors for the last 24 hours. The boys and I watched every episode of D*ora or D*iego that we could find! Sweet Nate continues to work on our house everyday with the hopes of us getting in there by next weekend! I am really just holding out for Christmas eve!! All in all we are doing fine, I have some fun pics from the last couple of weeks, but my personal computer is packed so I am unable to download them! Hopefully I will catch up in a couple of weeks! We did watch Nate make a great "Frosty" with Uncle Taylor in the front yard last night! What a great snow we had and how pretty out in the country it was. Hope to celebrate my mom's birthday this weekend and attend a fun party! We will continue to enjoy our life as nomads and remember to say Happy Birthday to Jesus every day!

This is the day...

.....that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! Today is offically moving day and I am reminding myself to rejoice and be glad in it! There are boxes EVERYWHERE, but the U*Haul comes this afternoon and off we will be! Going on a mini vacation around the fam, until the house is done, which will be fun! Hope to show new house pics soon though. Hope you remember to rejoice in this day as well!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay so this is an old pic since we will be 10 months old this weekend, but I just wanted to put a pic on here! Life is still crazy and we move in less than a week, but I am trucking ahead and making SOME progress. I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, I am blessed with so many "good and perfect gifts" from the Lord. Thanks be to Him.

We will be having a Lankford/Andrews slumber party tonight at Poppi's and then off to the firehall with the Watson's tomorrow! Yikes for the breakfast casserole that I made, I am not too much of a cook so we will see how it tastes in the morning. Hope you all have a wonderful day of rest and "thanksgiving."

Happy Birthday Friend!

So today is my friend's birthday and I thought I would share some facts about her and our friendship!

1. We have been friends since 1992! When she stalked me at cheerleading tryouts?!

2. We have been to Nationals for cheerleading together, but I will say we should have skipped the competition and just hung out with Mickey!

3. We have both liked TERRIBLE boys, although she may have liked a few more than me!!

4. We are official Big and Little Sis's in the land of the Deltas.

5. She used to cry ALL the time, I did not understand??

6. We have been to so many date parties, formals, and socials together it really is ridiculous!

7. We married best friends in the same year, had boys in the same year and have betrothed our second children to be married!

We have done lots the same, but we are just enough different to make it work! Friend I hope you have a great birthday and I am sure we will spend many more together!

Oh and we need to take more pics of adults and not so many of kiddos. This is the only one I could find to post!!

Happy Birthday Manda!!

That is what I have always called her!

Quick update!

Okay so now we are down to the last two weeks before we move out! Just some facts to let you know how we are doing:

1. Not 1 box has been packed!

2. I am still pulling wallpaper off the walls.

3. Nate spent the weekend being the plumber/electrician! Gotta love him!

4. We have been to Home Depot and Lowes more times than I can count in the last week.

5. I was at Kroger at 6:45 this morning doing my grocery shopping for the week.

6. Oh and high school football came to an end last Friday night! It was a blast and we will miss it greatly next season.

We are still hanging in there, although I am not sleeping because I always seem to wake up worried that the paint I like won't match something!!! But we are so blessed to be able to fix up the house and have the funds to pick out things like bathroom vanities and paint!!God is good!

FYI

For any that care, this is what is and has been going on around here:

1. The Page Pats are still in the playoffs, way to go Tay and Tuck!!!

2. We do have a contract on our home and are supposed to be moved out in less than 25 days!

3. We have completely gutted the little farmhouse on our land and are trying to have it ready to live in, in less than 25 days!!!

4. I am trying to pick out things like appliances, paint colors, and lights!

5. I am trying to pack?!

6. And I am want to be a good wife, mom and friend! Thank you Lord for the madness and for the answer to our prayers this crazy month has brought us!
So not sure where blogging is going to fall into this but I will keep trying!
