Life As It Happens: Visiting Oklahoma

We had a great time in Oklahoma this past weekend. We got to Judy & David's house about 8:00p.m. I felt right at home! We ate supper, visited and then went to bed.

This was right when we got there and Kodah was REALLY fussy. I think the LONG ride must have been hard on him - it was on me. This is Sabrina Austin.

Sunday we went to church and had a few tearful goodbye's to our dear friends. I can't really explain the connection to these people other than the Spirit of God in us. I love them all so much and it was really hard to say goodbye. I loved showing off Kodah, since most of them hadn't seen him.

this is a dear loved friend - Olivia Holm

this is Vernon Banks, a kind, compassionate, and giving man of God!

this is Katie Braudrick, one of Ian's many babysitters at church, but one of the few he REALLY likes. I can't tell how much Ian loves Katie! He is a sweetheart to her!

Sarena & Katie - Sarena & I were in Bible study together.

Julie - we taught Awana's TNT together
Karen - we went to Bible study together

Wonderful ladies! Judy, Olivia, Helen, Me, Delora, & Betty

After church we went back to Judy & David's and ate outside by the pool and after eating, we swam. My good friend Sheryl and her kids came to join in the swimming and we had the best time visiting. Sabrina (newlywed to Judy & David's oldest son, Brad) is a good friend of mine too and really loved holding Kodah, well only when he was not crying. She just got married and her husband kept telling her not to hold on to the baby for long because it was going to give her ideas. So funny!

let me explain - we forgot to bring swimming suits so Judy let us borrow hers. If you don't know this, Judy is very small and Nia almost fit into her suits. This suit had a padded bra in it and Nia was embarrassed and happy she had bobbies at the same time.
