5 Horses, 1 dog, & 2007 years

We are still snowed in Ft Collins. The storm this time around wasn't nearly as bad but for some reason they are having a hard time getting the interstates clean. I-70 is closed from Denver to the middle of Kansas...that's right where we need to go, oh yeah and both the LONG routes to the north (thru Nebraska) and south (thru New Mexico) are closed as well. We are hoping the crews will have it fixed so that we can be on our way tomorrow. We shall see...

Yesterday we decided to take the kiddos to see the BUDWEISER CLYDESDALES here at the Ft Collins brewery (we can travel around Ft Collins with no problem). The boys had a GREAT time. There were 5 clydesdales and 1 dalamation, he was SO adorable. The boys really enjoyed getting out of the house for a little bit.

Here's the fam in front of a Budweiser wagon (yeah prego was burning up in there, and yes Momma I had my jacket it was just on the floor)


Luke and Kaden LOVED talking to the puppy. Bless his heart he wanted to be pet so badly we just couldn't get to him. How cute are his ears??


AND get this---one of the horses was named Darth (for those of you who don't know, that is Mike's call sign) So here is Darth with Darth. Too Funny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And a Happy New Year to everyone. I pray the new year is filled with blessings for all of you. If you are one who makes resolutions, good luck with those!! A new year is a new beginning, may God bless us all.

Christmas in Colorado

Merry Christmas to you all! Hope your day was wonderful. We have had a most wonderful time here in Colorado with Mike's Mom and Grandma. We have had a white, white, WHITE Christmas. As I type this it's getting whiter, so much so that we might not be able to go home when we thought (Sat), we might very well be snowed in!!

Here are some pics of the kiddos at Christmas enjoying the many, many presents they received!

Thanks to everyone who sent cards and presents, we certainly love hearing from you.

Some updates here: ~~~ We are basically healthy now, Mike has got the beginnings of a cold, hopefully it will get better quickly! ~~~ Our house is still filled with boxes. We moved in 5 days before we left for Colorado. We have lots of work ahead of us when we get home. I will post some pics when we get home. ~~~ I am now 24 weeks pregnant and things are going perfectly, I have finally stopped puking, so that is good :) I am going to have an ultrasound sometime in January so those of you waiting to hear whether we have a girl or boy, know there is an end in sight!

Mizzou plays Oregon State tomorrow in the Sun Bowl. Let's go Tigers, let's go!!!

A little health please...

Oh yeah, the illness devil has landed on the Harmons once again. (but I should report first that we are now on the mend and things are getting better around here) Luke got a cold on Wednesday that brought on a pretty good fever. He was feeling miserable bless his heart. I got a headache on Tuesday, Wednesday morning a severe cold, and by Wed afternoon I had a fever as well. At 1:30AM (Thurs) my fever was up to 101.6, and my OB's rule of thumb is get checked out if a fever is over 101. So, Mom and I spent 5 hours at the ER on Thursday. (Thanks to Aunt LeeAnn for coming over to stay with my boys while we were gone :)---you're a life saver) Turns out I have the flu, but not the nasty bad flu, just a regular one, and a bacterial infection in my throat. Great huh? But like I said we are getting much better, my antibiotic has already helped SO much. Luke was getting back to normal today and didn't run a fever at all (thank you God for that) And most importantly the baby is doing fine, her/his heartrate was 160 and the ER doc said everything looks perfect with baby!

Mike and Kelly are driving to St. Louis as I write this. We are all so excited to see Daddy again. The carpet and wood laminate were laid in our house today and Mike says it looks awesome. We will be going to OKC on Sunday, the movers still coming on Monday the 18th. I am thrilled to get to my new beautiful house! I will post pictures of the house as soon as our computer is up and running!

Here's to all of you, hope you have happy, safe, and HEALTHY Holidays!!!!

First coat

Ta-da!!!! Thought I would share some of the hard work Mike and Kelly did in our new house this weekend.
Here is a photo of the first coat in Gabriel's and baby's new room. It is called Sonic Boom, a very bright and fun green-green-green! They both are thrilled with the results. I'm excited to see it.
Luke and Kaden's room is basically a sky blue, it's called 100 Acre Day.
I just wanted to thank both Mike and Kelly for the hard work they have done in the kiddos rooms.
Can't wait to see you guys on Friday!!! Love you!!!

Homeowners once again!!

After a long and somewhat stressful process with MANY ups and downs, Mike and I are homeowners again!! :) Don't worry I won't go into any details, just know I am so thankful that Michael was able to take care of everything and he should know he did a great job! I love ya sweetie. He signed the papers yesterday and it's all official now. The carpet guys are coming on the 14th and 15th, I will be returning to OKC on the 17th, and our movers will be setting us up on Monday the 18th! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. It's been a long time coming. So now I am proud to say that I OWN a garage, a laundry room, and a DISHWASHER!!! (3 years without one was a very, very, very long time)

Michael is planning to paint the boys rooms this weekend before the new carpet gets installed. We are pretty excited. One Superhero room for the 2 oldest and a Disney room for Gabriel and baby #4. Good luck babe! Eventually we will put pictures up of the house.

So there's the Harmon update. All good things :)

Happy Holidays everyone!

Get Well Greg!

We just learned that Greg Wiggle, the yellow one for those of you without little kiddos, had to 'retire'. At 34 he has a serious heart condition that effects his ability to stand and his coordination. Luke was really upset when he learned about this. A new Wiggle Sam will take his place and Luke's only comfort was knowing that the old Wiggles will still have Greg on them. Probably lots of parents are annoyed by the Wiggles but my boys adore them and we have spent countless hours singing and dancing with them. Bless your heart Greg and we hope you continue to feel better and better.

Snowed in

The winter storm has made it's way successfully through the Midwest. Michael, in Oklahoma City, was snowed in yesterday and today it is us here in St. Louis. All day yesterday we had freezing rain and sleet until the morning hours when the snow started. All the schools are closed here and no one is going out. Though my poor Mom had to go to work today, ugh! The boys and I are held up inside watching The Polar Express.

It's December 1st already and I can hardly believe that. The first half of the year went SO slow for me with Michael gone, and yet the second half flew by! The boys started their chocolate advent calenders today. Thank you Ms. Heidi for sending them authentic German ones, they are already a huge hit!

And here's a thank you to Michael and Kelly for the effort. Tomorrow is my 29th Happy Birthday and they were going to drive here from OKC to spend the weekend with us. Obviously the weather put a nix on that, but it is the thought that counts and I do appreciate the thought so very much. I love you both!
