ME..On THIS DAY-20 Years AGO!

At 6pm, September 29, 1990
I had just given birth to my sweet angel-the oldest at age 20..
I was so young with such good skin..

My parents were SO SUPPORTIVE to me, their unmarried daughter.
I will never forget it.
How my dad went and got me a Big Mac and Fries after delivery...
How my mom stayed to help me for weeks after as my baby girl spent time in the NICU...

How we got our first photo together at K-Mart :)

And all her sweetness...

The oldest and I grew up together, side by side.

Now she's a grown up, married girl-all on her own, with her own hubby *sniff*!

Happy Birthday my sweet girl!
WE MADE IT!
I am proud of you and love you so much!

I'm once again joining KELLY to SHOW US YOUR LIFE..Master Bedrooms!

Our Bedroom has changed a LOT since LAST YEARS TOUR.
We still have 3 walls red and the one behind our bed as well as the ceiling covered in wood.
Our home is log so it is a PERFECT bedroom for us!

The BIGGEST CHANGE is ALL THE BABY GEAR!

LAST YEARS BED...

This year..NEW KING SIZE BED (for the roaming children of the night)
AND-NEW BEDDING

LAST YEARS END TABLES..


NEW END TABLES...LOVE THEM
(breast pump to the side)


And of course all baby Bakers "GEAR".
She will stay in our room until she is done nursing.
SO HAPPY to find a changing table that somewhat went with my furniture.

LAST YEARS QUEENS CORNER...

SPICED UP A BIT THIS YEAR..

This is the door to my closet (its a SIGHT in there)
and the door to our master bath!

This picture is proof that I LOVE TO DUST!! LOL

All Decked out!

What started out as THIS..

Ended up as THIS DREAM!!!!

Here is The Captain nailing the last step on as MyMy practices her violin in the background!

I LOVE IT!
Didn't he do a GREAT JOB?

We are very happy we went with composite decking that is suppose to last far beyond us being in the grave and requires NO MAINTENENCE!
We plan on putting stone around the bottom to finish it off!


My LOVELY SERENE VIEW-our soybean field ALMOST ready for harvest!

It will be so nice to go out my bedroom door each morning for some tranquil time.
NOW ALL I NEED IS A CHAIR!

So BLESSED to have such a handy hubby!

32 HOURS OF FUN!

Our 32 hours started yesterday morning with Beans 2nd football game of the season!
He was excited that The Captains parents made it and he got to play at the same high school (pictured) that his Grandpa went to almost 60 years ago!

Then we went home, ate lunch, packed the vehicle, motorcycle & all 7 littles and headed to my parents house two hours away.

The Captain INSISTED that WyWy would be "just fine" for the 2 hour ride on the back of our Harley...AT 4 YEARS OLD!!!!


AND HE WAS RIGHT, He made it-Little WHIPPER-SNAPPER hung on to daddy ALL THE WAY!
IT WAS THE LONGEST TRIP OF MY LIFE...

After my 4th NEAR HEART ATTACK & several PALPITATIONS & 3 PANIC ATTACKS, followed by me FLASHING MY BRIGHTS, they continued to RIDE THROUGH THE RAIN until we got to Grandmas.
I have one thing to say about that..
WyWy is HARD CORE!

Praise God for my parents who offered to watch all 7 kids while we went out to supper with friends.
Our FIRST DATE alone since Baby Bakers was born 13+ weeks ago and you know us-we are WEEKLY DATERS and needed some QT together.
She slept the entire time we were gone!!

Dressed and ALMOST ready to go!

I told The Captain, I didn't care if it rained, "I JUST WANNA RIDE MAN!"

Off we went to...

LOVE the sink!

The Captain in front of OCC BFB

We rode in the rain all the way home from the restaurant and LOVED IT!
It was so fun to be soaking wet and laughing with my man, It felt good!

Then we rose early this morning with 5,000 of our closest biker buddies and headed to our 2nd annual BIKERS FOR BABIES ride.
To benefit pre mature babies in the Kansas City Area.
I noticed I was MUCH THINNER at last years ride... I KNOW 9 months to gain it..9 months to lose it, still is SO NOT FUN!

It meant so much more to us this year especially after having a pre-mature baby ourselves just a few months ago and knowing how scared we were when she was in the NICU.

My dad still hasn't quite got used to his baby girl being a HARLEY MAMA yet, I think he is holding my helmet hostage in this pic.

The Wild Hogs Black Squirrels

Us Girls

Hundreds of bikes-you have to see it in person to really grasp it!

The 100+mile trip is lined with signs of appreciation and many preemies and their parents waving to all the bikers raising money. 
It's a VERY AWESOME and humbling experience. 

We left Baby Bakers for the FIRST TIME today for 7 WHOLE HOURS with my parents & we all survived. A certain part of me ALMOST didn't but we won't go there (you nursing mamas can RELATE).

She did great and actually took the bottle great for my mom.
All 9 of us are home now and the house is quiet except for football of course.

Hard to believe we did ALL THIS in just 32 hours..
Experiences that we and our kids will cherish & never forget.

The Captain's 2nd week..

Hard to believe The Captain has already been home 2 of his 7 weeks off-HIS NOT FLYING IS FLYING BY!
We made it to the zoo...CHECK

Got all the equipment washed for fall harvest-CHECK!
(I think it's funny he likes to wash it before he goes and gets it all dirty)

Had some severe weather-CHECK!
(notice the soybeans in the picture below the storm are ALMOST ready to cut)

Went to "the big city" and got the 7 littles EQUIPPED for fall-CHECK!
BTW-that requires a DETAILED LIST of
who needs socks, undies, tennies, church clothes, boots, church shoes AND SO ON..
Aren't these here some handsome cowboys in their NEW DUDS?
HOWDY PARDNERS!

And The Captain is ALMOST done with the deck off our bedroom!
Can't wait to sit and sip my coffee and read my devotions in the mornings with God's beauty all around me!
He's had LOTS of help!

He's putting the railings and steps on today!
We are certainly blessed to have our daddy home for 7 weeks!

We've also got all our hairs cut, and teeth cleaned!
I'd say we've got a lot accomplished so far huh?
