Extreme Home Makover


Ty Pennington and his gang are just about to complete an Extreme Home Makeover for a family just north of Springfield. We went out there today to check it out. Several of my neighbors have gotten the opportunity to work there too, so that is so cool! This family was living in an 800 square foot cottage with 8 people in it! They were called and given an hour to decide if they would take in four nieces and nephews so they wouldn't go into foster care and they did! They have been living very cramped! That's all I know of the story, I can't wait to see it on tv! Here's Scott and the kids in front of the house, they have about 45 hours until completion! I'm trying to decide if I want to go for the MOVE THAT BUS ceremony, I think it would be so cool!

Addy is completely back to her spunky little self. I am still blown away by the way she acted in Oklahoma! It made me so sad that she was so unhappy. I think we are going to have to go on more road trips!



This is a picture of Jarika and one of her best friends, Gage. Many of you know that Jarika has really had a hard time lately and I'm so thankful that she has Gage in her life. He's a good kid and makes Jarika smile. That's something we don't see a whole lot of lately so I'm glad they got to spend some time together this week!

That is so cool. I was just watching that a while ago. Those piggies look delicious.

That's cool ! They were in our neighborhood last year but they were busing people in and it would cost an arm and a leg for all of us to get in so we waited for the show to come on TV. That house is really gorgeous!
