Liam’s cool, new glasses!

Here’s our Mr. Man with his awesome new glasses.  Doesn’t he look great?  Growing up and handsome as ever!

World's Greatest Dads!

Chuck and I have both been blessed with great dads...they work hard, play hard, laugh hard and live great, honest, Christ-centered lives.  We are lucky to call them Dad, Grandpa. friend and sometimes even CRAZY!  (That's their favorite name...both of them!)  Love both of you. Hugs and kisses Dad and Dad!

Our Dad ROCKS!

We are so blessed to have our Daddy...he is fun, patient, loving, happy, attentive, aware, kind, etc, etc, etc, etc....we could go on forever but if you know Chuck, you know the amazing person he is and we're lucky to have him as our Daddy.  Love you, love you, love you FOREVER!

I looked out the window and what did I see….

…2 boys climbing down from the 2nd story! Boys, boys, boys…what are we going to do with them?  At first they said it was so they could get out to the pool faster….uh-huh.  I don’t think so!  And then they told us it was for “safety”, in case there’s a fire. Nice try boys!!! They crack us up!!!

p.s. The ladder is gone!

Gorgeous Girls!!!

		YW Makeup Night VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Friday night we had a bunch of the girls from church over and did makeovers…fun, fun, fun! A couple of the girls wanted to learn how do do makeup so we invited a few more of them---it’s always more fun to play makeup with friends! They were really shy at first but when they got into it, they were crazy! And we all had a great time.  Here are the photos of the fun! I love teaching young girls how to do makeup but even more, I want them to realized that God made them beautiful just how they are and that the most important beauty is within.  They are beautiful girls…inside and out!

Our THUNDER ROARS!!!

 

I know, I know…if you know us at all, you must be SHOCKED that we have even been watching the games, but yes, the Edgington Family has become “fair-weather” Thunder Fans!  We even have the shirts to prove it!   It’s really the boys who are so involved, but we’re all excited about it.  Especially the WIN tonight…1st game in the NBA Playoffs, baby!!! THUNDER UP!!!

Earlier tonight I had a conference call and Sadie was babysitting for our lucky neighbors who were at the Thunder Game so I asked Liam to watch the kiddos for me.  I told him no tv so he took them outside and swam for a few minutes (it was cold!) and then they got out and did chalk drawings.  Who knew that our Mr. Man was such a great babysitter…they were so happy and having so much fun!  Way to go, Liam…you are THE BEST!

N.C.I.S. FREAKS!!!

We (Sadie) love N.C.I.S.! We (Sadie) watch it a lot. A friend of ours has all the past seasons on dvd so we’ve (Sadie) been catching up. We’re almost addicted (Sadie is!) Are you reading between the lines? SADIE IS ADDICTED TO N.C.I.S.! We’ve had to limit her to 2 episodes a day during the summer IF she folds a basket of laundry while she’s watching them! (she’s going to love that I’m telling everyone this!)

Well, Gibbs (Mark Harmon) does a charity baseball game here in Oklahoma and our friends, The Milligans, told us about it and OF COURSE we had to go! We stood in line to get his autograph…the kids bought baseballs for him to sign…Sadie was so nervous! Remember? She’s ADDICTED! It was a cool thing though…the first celebrity they’ve ever met.  Cool afternoon!

We do LOUD really well!

We are a loud family…it’s genetic…the kids can’t help it…they get it from me!  My siblings are even worse when we all get together…we are LOUD!!!  Chuck’s family?  NOT loud! So, it’s something that Chuck gets irritated with (can you imagine Chuck, irritated? I know, right? It’s hard to believe, but it REALLY does happen!) Dinner time is usually the worst so he’s been joking that he’s going to get earplugs…well, it happened! This was him the other night…..

So he grabbed some of the swim ear plugs and was a happy man!

He can still hear, but it just muffles the noise a bit.  Isn’t that hilarious?! Whatever works, Daddy!

P.S.---this is hanging in our house….so true, so true!

Briggs and his new favorite place!

Right off of the boys room is a second attic---we call it the decorations attic.  If you’ve been to my house you know that I LOVE DECORATING for holidays….EVERY holiday!  So, we have a whole attic just for my decorations! Well, Liam “joked” that he’d make that attic into his own room one day and Briggs LOVED the idea!!! So, he did it!  It totally cracks me up that he’s sleeping here.  Love that boy!!!

Sadie’s Girls Camp…I mean Camp Shee-Shee!

I remember church girls camp when I was younger…putting up tents, digging trenches around them because it ALWAYS rained, sleeping on the ground (hoping that we got all the rocks out of the way so we didn’t end up sleeping on one!), making fires, cooking food over the fire, cleaning up the meal, backpacking, outhouses (one year we didn’t even have that!), no showers---if we wanted to get “clean” we went bumb-sliding down the Provo River! Ahhhh….so many great lessons learned, so much fun, so many great memories!  We actually called it ROUGH camp, not girls camp…and the name fit! I loved it!!!

Fast forward 20 years and my daughter is going to girls camp...this is actually her 3rd year and the first year I drove them up and COULDN’T BELIEVE the camp!  J-E-A-L-O-U-S!  Camp Shee-Shee is more like it!!!  They have cabins, AIR CONDITIONED cabins, flush toilets, showers, bunk beds WITH MATTRESSES, a mess hall and get this….A COOK!!!  Gee whiz….jealous much?  Seriously, they have SO much fun and it’s like HOTEL GIRLS CAMP! Here’s a picture of Sadie and her friends when I dropped them off this year.  Good times, good times!
