Callie enjoyed becoming a jedi and fighting DarthMaul as did Brody. Jordan was just glad to get to ride Indiana Jones. Zoe was all about the teacups. I know that more details would be nice, but leave it at full day with lots of Disney. Since we are planning to do it again tomorrow I will post a few pics and add to the story. The Celebration Parade and the Fireworks were awsome to see.

We ate at the hotel before we left and it was a good breakfast. It was an hour and a half drive to get there. It is in a neighborhood of houses with a church adjacent. It was very similar to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Temple</span> in Reno and was built at the same time. The grounds were all locked up but we walked around the outside fenced area, took some pictures. The kids were being silly and everybody posed for a picture before heading out.<br /><br /><div>We then started the long hall to LA. We made it almost to Bakersfield before Zoe needed a potty break. We pulled off and ate at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Perko's</span>, a ma and pa kind of restaurant. It was good food. We got back on the road to finish a four hour drive to LA. We made it to the LA temple without much traffic. Four or Five slow downs and not for long. We got out at the LA temple and another family was there saying that just 15 min. before we got there the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">chandelier</span> in the celestial room was swaying because of an earthquake. We didn't feel it but we were driving and the roads in CA are like a roller coaster. You would never be able to tell if the earth was shaking or if it was just the road. The temple ground were open and it was really fun to get pictures. A lot of good picture spots all around that temple. It is one of the larger temples. It is huge. It had a ton of green grass and lots of flowers and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">gnarly</span> trees. One cool <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">gnarly</span> tree we all sat in to have our picture. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizpcgrncxp6tkR1a43kPjdg128afvrq9LMMo95igNe5pPgJVvSiZx8vge5RNRTeqPXgPt9gqi1pJrA82hRxNqr9gah9QklpSeDvel7nuJY5tXUACl-rqW3Kdz3wRdwjJC2VQiVPVn2QLpL/s1600/IMG_1373.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456520991968576242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizpcgrncxp6tkR1a43kPjdg128afvrq9LMMo95igNe5pPgJVvSiZx8vge5RNRTeqPXgPt9gqi1pJrA82hRxNqr9gah9QklpSeDvel7nuJY5tXUACl-rqW3Kdz3wRdwjJC2VQiVPVn2QLpL/s320/IMG_1373.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnUyylhkIk9YmwGmezT6LVIEtYM4BPDZan9I048SIXlB_RhEoz9T2gDLDoPvFghGr6LphqsbwnTgY6whcIN-omIU0n6KXkIsdNwrPRARh6P6vEqouzNxjBk-9dWfk2IDU0CgLRI0yF0Le/s1600/IMG_1408.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456521416385863266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnUyylhkIk9YmwGmezT6LVIEtYM4BPDZan9I048SIXlB_RhEoz9T2gDLDoPvFghGr6LphqsbwnTgY6whcIN-omIU0n6KXkIsdNwrPRARh6P6vEqouzNxjBk-9dWfk2IDU0CgLRI0yF0Le/s320/IMG_1408.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div>Then we decided that we hadn't already had enough fun in the car that we would visit the Newport Beach temple. It was pretty cool. It is in a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">richy</span> part of town and very pretty. It's kind of PINK, it is a light pinkish color with domes on top, not very tall and kind of smaller. Very pretty. Then we went to find our hotel and drove past <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Disneyland</span>. We checked in and got dinner at Maui Hawaiian BBQ. It was good we had a ton of left overs. We came back unloaded the car started treatments and tried to get the kids in bed. They are so excited that they can hardly sleep. Finally at 11:00 they fell asleep. Now I better go to bed if I'm supposed to keep up with them tomorrow. Disneyland here we come!

Paul Dimeo who was planning to join us at Disneyland had his father pass away last Saturday so today when we texted him he indicated that he was still in Phili with his family. Our thoughts go out to him and his family. After getting started this morning we went to the Reno Temple. It was closed so all of our photos were taken outside the main area of the temple. After that we faced the part of road that we had monitored the most: Donner's Pass. No problem, it was dry and cold.<br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynclfJljg3D3nU6cclBz6xEW31xTm0-POpPghvrlX7y0lNTqPDlfPL8zs1joCN5CSdjqg5dZoeLhnpm25stJSOqGTZxoIw25a0slJ8fnl62-3xJqMcLhvQzmMgWAssz79QbX0pb1f5l_o/s1600/IMG_1236.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456171443866777106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynclfJljg3D3nU6cclBz6xEW31xTm0-POpPghvrlX7y0lNTqPDlfPL8zs1joCN5CSdjqg5dZoeLhnpm25stJSOqGTZxoIw25a0slJ8fnl62-3xJqMcLhvQzmMgWAssz79QbX0pb1f5l_o/s320/IMG_1236.JPG" /></a>When we arrived at the temple in Sacremento, it was amazing! It is located in a very secluded plateau with a large parcel of land that the church uses for Girls Camp and even has a chapel on the property. It was so beautiful. Callie loved it so much that she has indicated that this is where she is getting married. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim-_FsaZ59zvAy1KrVfwh6BUAa5ZN4I9XWuGDhmnp-pM6I73wGYFaiVnI3TYKvuYcr2AoqZOwr-USc_w54Vcwi2n1hCwHI5HleOsH4gRFQI9SvKDobcsROtKxeicP1XqbcOYX6G-wQzUOX/s1600/IMG_1293.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456171992527941490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim-_FsaZ59zvAy1KrVfwh6BUAa5ZN4I9XWuGDhmnp-pM6I73wGYFaiVnI3TYKvuYcr2AoqZOwr-USc_w54Vcwi2n1hCwHI5HleOsH4gRFQI9SvKDobcsROtKxeicP1XqbcOYX6G-wQzUOX/s320/IMG_1293.JPG" /></a>Although there would be no complaints from any of us, I am sure that time is necessary before we need to book a room. It was interesting as there was wild turkeys and deer on the property by the temple. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgoRMAkxNQ2NZp6KGBWalAA60vCH3lBqaqkpB5juIiYwfJTIRE5zr5zaQ1eVYJc1EcQcuqFNikNUU12_-Zq6R1KqpLCTvjqjZdge30b90nyx6cTZJTbq-kOUQGiJDR-HKDoVgqcYPAyIYh/s1600/IMG_1306.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456172558930825954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgoRMAkxNQ2NZp6KGBWalAA60vCH3lBqaqkpB5juIiYwfJTIRE5zr5zaQ1eVYJc1EcQcuqFNikNUU12_-Zq6R1KqpLCTvjqjZdge30b90nyx6cTZJTbq-kOUQGiJDR-HKDoVgqcYPAyIYh/s320/IMG_1306.JPG" /></a>We then headed off to Oakland to see that temple there. We were amazed to find that due to the proximity of the multistake center next to the temple that there were a lot of people there. They also have a visitor center. So we learned a lot of interesting facts about the Oakland Temple. It has NO WINDOWS due to the earthquakes that they face in the area. It has palm trees that line each side of the path leading to the temple and there <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5isUKRpILetxB-6PEWX2v6sCL2RKO1uWLURbzVZubkoHe0Cn_dtpu4ugj52Lbw3Fctrl6QOKSWcMReGgKk_3gCKVUq1JhzjEbdmc9lfI7dKtKGdr7zlOrB0Lqg2tpnobXHy5ZdUKjzAwt/s1600/IMG_1339.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456173242727997810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5isUKRpILetxB-6PEWX2v6sCL2RKO1uWLURbzVZubkoHe0Cn_dtpu4ugj52Lbw3Fctrl6QOKSWcMReGgKk_3gCKVUq1JhzjEbdmc9lfI7dKtKGdr7zlOrB0Lqg2tpnobXHy5ZdUKjzAwt/s320/IMG_1339.JPG" /></a>are twelve trees on each side symolizing the apostles of old and current. There is three different palm trees at the head of each row representing the Godhead and the First Presidency. There was a statue of two children at the base of the temple and they looked up to the temple. I really reflected on the purpose that we had sought in starting this family goal two years ago and creating the desire in the hearts of our children to turn their hearts and minds to the temple. It was a beautiful temple and as we came home after a visit to San Francisco it shined bightly and stood as a becon on the hill for all to see (which is what David O McKay said it would do)</div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJYh8a99bn2Nsn-NrCjyfpFJbuDEWSdP6GzjGkqWEVJMzBd45UsBH554QU7ftR-Y-F5frxf9eCI2ryslpXL9J6YdhW2qaJj3Ez5jrDBDhPxIyz10gd50pfGj5kKL6EoRznhJDXfRLLBcQe/s1600/IMG_0179.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 181px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456173699612262818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJYh8a99bn2Nsn-NrCjyfpFJbuDEWSdP6GzjGkqWEVJMzBd45UsBH554QU7ftR-Y-F5frxf9eCI2ryslpXL9J6YdhW2qaJj3Ez5jrDBDhPxIyz10gd50pfGj5kKL6EoRznhJDXfRLLBcQe/s320/IMG_0179.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>We ended our day at Fisherman's Wharf and had dinner at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Restaurant.

We also thought that on our way we would stop and see as many temples as possible. Which going the round about way would let us see 9 temples. So we headed out Friday after school to Reno. Mark and I have been to the Reno temple but the kids haven't. On our way to Reno the kids did awesome! Zoe slept about 3 hours and the worst it got was fighting over who got the pillow. Today is our longest drive day. We went 8 hours and tomorrow we will go 5 with 3 stops along the way. We plan to see the Reno temple tomorrow. When we got here it was already dark and the kids were anxious to get to our hotel. We will then head to Sacramento to see that temple then to Oakland to see that temple and I was thinking of taking the kids to San Franscisco. We will have time tomorrow and when I went as a kid it was fun. The kids might be in for a culture shock. We will have to talk about girls like girls thing and guys like guys thing. Not much for today just a lot of driving and Stacie complaining. I don't like driving in the snow and rain and wind. It scares me. I will be glad to have most of the weather behind us. By tomorrow we will be in the clear. Tomorrow night we will stay in Modesto Ca. Like in the movie Monsters vs Aliens. Here are a few pics we took today in the car, since that is where most of time was spent. Also a picture of the sun shining through the clouds. It was very beautiful. Last but not least the kids on their vests. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-38766180617908696022010-02-06T10:35:00.000-08:002010-02-06T11:30:36.873-08:00ExpressionsThis has been an event that could never be duplicated. I think that there is a story behind this week that has not been told. When Callie first approached Stacie and I about her wish to participate on the Extreme Makeover set, we actually discourage her thinking that getting her hopes up would make it frustrating to deal with denial. As the people at Make-A-Wish began working with her on the wish they became aware of it and actually encouraged her to put it down as her first wish. As they sent it to the National office, there was uncertainty that there would be any way to grant this wish. It was a week later that Extreme Makeover, with their plans to do this house for the Starkweathers, that they called the foundation and indicated that plan. We have been told that if we had not made the wish when we did it is very likely that it would have not been able to have been done. It is amazing how things happen in life.<br /><br />This morning Callie wrote her co-stars to tell them that she was home. I think it says something as we prepared to leave and Ty, Paige, Paul, and Eduardo all wanted Callie to keep in touch. <br /><br />It is going to be nice to visit the Starkweather family once this all settles down and be able to get to know their wonderful family. We feel that we share with them a wonderful moment in time and it is really not about the house, but the love to serve someone else. Luckly I have Callie to help teach me that going to the finest points of the earth may bring a memory, but not a lasting impression. Most people who hear or comment about Callie's wish are not as much drawn to the celebrities or the television, but that she wanted to help someone else. As I spoke this morning with Callie about her favorite part of this wish, it was the reactions of the Starkweather family that meant the most.The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-24164913239316287902010-02-04T22:30:00.000-08:002010-02-04T23:06:24.434-08:00There's just one more thing to blog "Welcome home London Family Welcome Home"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdrzOS1C7JQzJFYxuzaqP9w9Zm0oEqu4M5aUUGTs2WNcYWlkytVvjcuvUS-xmwcMU0zlB_1h_ukOyIKkL1DMa5kK8eHCdhZeb6XK2d70xdC097-zxE7buudVwUqnQHjgzg_0xzPP5xkY2x/s1600-h/IMG_0414.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434646996521859090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdrzOS1C7JQzJFYxuzaqP9w9Zm0oEqu4M5aUUGTs2WNcYWlkytVvjcuvUS-xmwcMU0zlB_1h_ukOyIKkL1DMa5kK8eHCdhZeb6XK2d70xdC097-zxE7buudVwUqnQHjgzg_0xzPP5xkY2x/s320/IMG_0414.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnj7IpiKYUWJBY4dJ-OGezwPy1_7jAYb54G5dW9w7RJc5Xub3tMEmlkNWMnmGOhvbcC8zPpuBZ-Ov5f5oFt3iNzefyhLgTKqDQJfDwSwpmUAEJIp3YXu26pwNVCOkYRi_LrG0J0Lpry2a/s1600-h/IMG_0408.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434646988753935282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnj7IpiKYUWJBY4dJ-OGezwPy1_7jAYb54G5dW9w7RJc5Xub3tMEmlkNWMnmGOhvbcC8zPpuBZ-Ov5f5oFt3iNzefyhLgTKqDQJfDwSwpmUAEJIp3YXu26pwNVCOkYRi_LrG0J0Lpry2a/s320/IMG_0408.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1N68iOBUtNlfC0iSXQwfAtjo7_DQQepkoa6DuGfshW3AbJ5KjzhUay3V3hdDW1_y6DHde0XRgGNfgN1AuV8aSpv00uP1GHh9LOL9wkw57TcYnb7vgXTN07ySqtmGhwlrt38u4f0gWgoe/s1600-h/IMG_0405.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434646223627221730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1N68iOBUtNlfC0iSXQwfAtjo7_DQQepkoa6DuGfshW3AbJ5KjzhUay3V3hdDW1_y6DHde0XRgGNfgN1AuV8aSpv00uP1GHh9LOL9wkw57TcYnb7vgXTN07ySqtmGhwlrt38u4f0gWgoe/s320/IMG_0405.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDxFO9ZPRQpSIMuUmh1mF46jDGsXZhcMXBuxECvuXaylmfQ5gRfiAcrbC025LRkFcXQBcFfdys8YVXHCUOJb4ZYs7bxI4LZQFBHf3jsV8OUAtPHdwDJBX67YN7dygx-Rv0JS_hL3U2nRZ/s1600-h/IMG_0403.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434646215681221298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDxFO9ZPRQpSIMuUmh1mF46jDGsXZhcMXBuxECvuXaylmfQ5gRfiAcrbC025LRkFcXQBcFfdys8YVXHCUOJb4ZYs7bxI4LZQFBHf3jsV8OUAtPHdwDJBX67YN7dygx-Rv0JS_hL3U2nRZ/s320/IMG_0403.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCudeNCBqF-e4mFvX18Mim9YaKU7f-cm4BYOal_vxAtp9xJKyNtLr_0EKZIP7SVwtQ5XAdV-AibMfrPrNbMXHLOOlJpI7ooKtNmxFdyxiXqDORc0GU7BsYK2PZUoU4OMZxcpbupg3-m_r/s1600-h/IMG_0399.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434646206533645282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCudeNCBqF-e4mFvX18Mim9YaKU7f-cm4BYOal_vxAtp9xJKyNtLr_0EKZIP7SVwtQ5XAdV-AibMfrPrNbMXHLOOlJpI7ooKtNmxFdyxiXqDORc0GU7BsYK2PZUoU4OMZxcpbupg3-m_r/s320/IMG_0399.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />We are home!!</div><div> </div><div>Today was a busy day for us. I stayed up late last night getting things packed up and Mark was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">blobering</span> or I mean <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">blogging</span>. Mostly both. We had an early morning today. Needless to say I am falling asleep at the computer. Tonight won't be much but I promise there will be more to come. We didn't have too many pictures because we had to carry around all of our luggage. There were not enough hands to do both.</div><div> </div><div>We met with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Starkweather</span> family at 8:30 in the dining hall. Callie was able to give Ethan his dog tag with his name and his bracelet that said *WISH*. They loved it and there is more to the story but I will tell that in another post. Here is the link of what was recorded.</div><div><a href="http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0210/703014.html">http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0210/703014.html</a></div><div>We were very emotional and made sure that we would keep in touch.</div><div> </div><div>We then had to be to Callie's final interview at 11:30. She did awesome! More info to follow. At the interviews we saw all the designers and got signatures and email addresses for all. We had our picture one more time. We then <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">gassed</span> up the car headed for the airport and got home about 8:00 or 9:00PM. </div><div>We had a wonderful welcome from Kelly and Debbie at the airport, along with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Hutchings</span> family. And when we pulled in the garage was decorated with balloons and a sign from friends in the ward. Then Chad and Karla couldn't get enough of us so they came over and so did the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Polsons</span>. Callie was out of control telling and showing all her fun wish <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">surprises</span>. Thank you so much for being part of our blog. It makes me stay up late just because I know people want to hear. Sorry for such a short one tonight but I've already counted 4 times falling <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">asleep</span> during this one. More to come. I promise!</div><div>We love Tulsa and we love <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Farmington</span>.

This is the big moment when it is time to pull out the kleenex and get ready for the flood gates to open. And that it what happened for us. A lot of it is because of the wonderful expression that was seen from the Starkweather Family, but we can not help but feel that the staff of EMHE and Make-a-Wish are also a big part of the emotion. We feel like there is family here in Oklahoma and that we are leaving them. The people of this community were endless with generosity and their love for our family. They even told us that they would love for us to become a part of their state. That is the ultimate if they would build you a house if you want to live here. If anyone is ever moving to Oklahoma and especially the Tulsa area, look no further then Simmons Homes for your house. They have hearts the size of Oklahoma (not Texas due to the rivalry here) that they care about what they stand for. </div><br /><div></div><div>So I am sure you really want to know about the day. We were on set at 11:30 today and the crowd had already started to form for the big event. The bus was around the corner and the street was being cleaned. We were there for about an hour before they needed Callie and they sent Callie and Stacie to the Art Tent. She was welcomed there by Paul and two muscians. Here was Callie talking with Cheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert, both were going to be there for the reveal of the house. After a little filming in the tent they sent Callie down to eat before the big moment. So as we go down the street to eat, Callie is shouted by several people in the crowd and she has a few photos with mostly girls her own age.</div><br /><div></div><div>After the lunch we returned to Callie's trailer and waited for them to call us out for the big event. As they called us out they put our family right in the front of the crowd and had Callie stand with the design team to welcome home the family. They filmed the arrival several times before the family actually came home. Once they did arrive we practiced moving the bus several times. In Zoe's words, "We are telling them to move the bus, but they are not listening!" Once the producers had the film that they needed then they actually moved the bus and got the reaction of the family. They had emotions of gratitude as they we given that awesome gift. Not to ruin the show, but pleanty more was also given to them that you will see in the show. We watched as they were taken into the house. Callie was quickly sent down to the designer bus with Cheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Paul, Paige, and Eduardo. Don't worry we will stay here while you all go enjoy the plush life. </div><br /><div></div><div>While they were gone Sammy, a crew member asked us and others close to the family to move to the side of the street that the house was on. As the main crowd dispersed we waited. Soon the Starkweather family came out of the house and were walked down to the bus, while Callie and the others came back up. At this point, Callie and our whole family got to go into the house and prepare to welcome the family into their home for a concert. We sat in this home designed mainly but people who are behind the scenes, and we got to join the Starkweather family in listening to the music of Cheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert. Nothing is like a private concert with thirty people and have the experience of listening to these fine artists. Callie was with the design team the whole time dancing and clapping and joking with them. Cheryl and Miranda talking with her as with the rest of the talent, like they had a long relationship. It was unbelieveable!!!</div><br /><div></div><div>This has been a dream come true for Callie. It has become a memory in the lives of all of our family that could not have occured any other way. As the day ends so does many of the close daily interaction with people we talked and walked with daily. A great example was Erin, she is from the Make-A-Wish of Oklahoma. As we rode home Zoe said to me "I love Erin, she took care of me all day." She then told it to Erin. After arriving at our hotel, Erin let us know Callie's schedule for interviews for tomorrow and let us know that she would not be seeing us tomorrow. Emotions flowed as we made sure that e-mail address and phone numbers were well documented to keep in contact. Others that you see in the photos in todays blog are the same thing. People who have found their way into our lives, not to be forgotten. We will head home tomorrow night, but we will never leave Oklahoma for good, Callie has made sure of that when she not only etched her name in the sidewalk in front of the Starkweather home, but took the city of Tulsa by storm via newspaper, television, and interaction with the people. We have been blessed, and those blessing make the trials in life seem just a small amount easier to handle.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-4610732991994339892010-02-02T21:56:00.000-08:002010-02-02T23:36:30.900-08:00Inside The House - Meet the Starkweathers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhld7VwtZjuG5Go8Lr4W38Fpx9IjAg-w-Z3MAIEKxKFPWuth3ziBtrWvGYHsMR0nqtf-jMq6ExAuq0eK-qX2gmIVi5CuEXNBsE-h92trSBUiKE0S1kjrLF5KWOUHW5NIz6sOMwOe570UWzt/s1600-h/IMG_0394.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433914221980738706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhld7VwtZjuG5Go8Lr4W38Fpx9IjAg-w-Z3MAIEKxKFPWuth3ziBtrWvGYHsMR0nqtf-jMq6ExAuq0eK-qX2gmIVi5CuEXNBsE-h92trSBUiKE0S1kjrLF5KWOUHW5NIz6sOMwOe570UWzt/s320/IMG_0394.JPG" border="0" /></a> Callie, Paul, Paige, Eduardo and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Starkweather</span> Family<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdaAaIJm5DmIMdzkFfVtxbdolnx6gZGsOHd0nzC3952gYVnwsNqQPVpQXA0Mna0RVggBBU1vL8hL6jJzDZck5TAhMgkK0CZTE-QOY5fidRNRc3THexOSQ2bJz8Mlnm7xkApzdl7U2M7cV/s1600-h/IMG_0378.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433914214339683074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdaAaIJm5DmIMdzkFfVtxbdolnx6gZGsOHd0nzC3952gYVnwsNqQPVpQXA0Mna0RVggBBU1vL8hL6jJzDZck5TAhMgkK0CZTE-QOY5fidRNRc3THexOSQ2bJz8Mlnm7xkApzdl7U2M7cV/s320/IMG_0378.JPG" border="0" /></a> Callie getting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mic'd</span> up for the night<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6qffx2qZ9Mc8xjeoQwQTOqhQtNo0Lu4p8lKztDKCUZVUBl1dKy9OB0pkUH8DqrlXlemeNp9Rjsxy94o0HrSQ3J9y8mclyQIkWvppkXgmWPvj7QM52-Sym9ZduHI4cm8KhVAm4_HULr8D/s1600-h/IMG_0366.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433913615297639778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6qffx2qZ9Mc8xjeoQwQTOqhQtNo0Lu4p8lKztDKCUZVUBl1dKy9OB0pkUH8DqrlXlemeNp9Rjsxy94o0HrSQ3J9y8mclyQIkWvppkXgmWPvj7QM52-Sym9ZduHI4cm8KhVAm4_HULr8D/s320/IMG_0366.JPG" border="0" /></a> Paulie and Callie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">jammin</span>' to Taylor Swift on Paul's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">iphone</span> at Callie's trailer<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVUc1syYqBUS0GKtNCerd_WTgIcPRSlHghsfjM1HjwZXLyJjLDN5_QgJ7F6_3UWxUb2CMiRurvc4gw9uMX4YvL1-0TXKv0MtfhSXv9HRfntfMi6HrCfBL7Rt5VgF9D-kSKAqWC3j6l-2-2/s1600-h/IMG_0361.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433913595857897970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVUc1syYqBUS0GKtNCerd_WTgIcPRSlHghsfjM1HjwZXLyJjLDN5_QgJ7F6_3UWxUb2CMiRurvc4gw9uMX4YvL1-0TXKv0MtfhSXv9HRfntfMi6HrCfBL7Rt5VgF9D-kSKAqWC3j6l-2-2/s320/IMG_0361.JPG" border="0" /></a> Callie and Paul autographing at the fan fence.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiieZCO2aYAVKKiPunZaZ0cpRhvKZGS87aZuiF-IayeKiOD4HF5w85VlVOXIGGO6T0gkaiDMqxEXxOGnwjI2vnEHT6Qdtnif5JSrUsQlvIX7mH9uwGCYVzeGOBQoH3zXeP1oElnXh7VrblC/s1600-h/IMG_0363.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433913606028650626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiieZCO2aYAVKKiPunZaZ0cpRhvKZGS87aZuiF-IayeKiOD4HF5w85VlVOXIGGO6T0gkaiDMqxEXxOGnwjI2vnEHT6Qdtnif5JSrUsQlvIX7mH9uwGCYVzeGOBQoH3zXeP1oElnXh7VrblC/s320/IMG_0363.JPG" border="0" /></a> Paul escorting Callie away from the fan fence.

Where do I start today? All of these days seem to be running together. To start off we had the latest sleep in day since we've been here. I think we are running low on sleep. We didn't have to be on set till 1:00PM. We missed hotel breakfast and decided to go to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">IHOP</span>. We then loaded the shuttle to the set and everybody went. The boys missed yesterday because they went shopping with Grandma and didn't want to miss today. </div><br /><div>We arrived and got Callie in her hard hat and tool belt (thank you Debbie and Kelly). She was taken down to the house with Mark to tour the house with Paige. Everything in the house is a surprise. Callie has been sworn to secrecy not to talk about what she saw and filmed. I know she did some stuff with each designer (Paul, Paige, Eduardo) and filmed stuff with each of them. Once out of the house she had a break so we went to the dinning hall and had lunch. Everyday they serve really good stuff. Chicken, <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">lasagna</span>, potatoes, corn, salad, chips, drinks, cake. Callie is getting a lot of calories.</div><br /><div>We went back up to her trailer and along the way they allow the public to watch some of the progress on the home. It was after school time and some of the kids were saying "I think that is Callie" They were waving and Callie went over to talk to some of them. There were two boys who wanted their picture with her. She was a little embarrassed (she still thinks boys are gross) but was happy to know that people knew her name and could recognize her.They asked for her signature, she has been working on that for the past couple of days, and she felt like a star. Back to the trailer to wait. Outside she could see Tim walk by with some groups who were getting a tour of the set. Tim had Callie come outside to meet them they all pulled out their cell phones and were flashing pictures of her. We were then told we would be heading over to the fair grounds for a continuation of last nights benefit fund raiser for Make-A-Wish. Callie and Mom and Dad were all able to ride in the star shuttle. We rode with Paul, Paige, and Eduardo. We did have to wait while Eduardo went to the "Crafty" for some cheese. He had a box of crackers and wanted some cheese to go with them. Callie was joking with him about making us all wait while he went to get "cheese". All the other designers were laughing that she would call him on that. </div><br /><div>At the benefit tonight they were auctioning off a ford truck. Ethan and his family would be showing up for that too. It took a couple of takes to get it just right. They had the builders sit on the row behind the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Starkweather</span> family and then our family and then the MAW people. Callie was placed right between the two builders wives and right behind Ethan. </div><br /><div>Earlier Callie got to introduce herself to Ethan on the "Ty Cam". The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Starkweather</span> family must have seen that while they were at Disney World. Tonight when they came to sit down in front of us, Amy the mom saw Callie and turned Ethan around to see and said. "Here is Callie Here's Callie right here." They were able to do a quick hand shake and meeting before more filming. I was shocked because I didn't know that they were aware we were even there. It was a touching moment for me to see how excited they were to see Callie and meet her. I think there will be an official meeting tomorrow. </div><br /><div>After the benefit we came back to the hotel got in the cars for some dinner. It was about 10:00 PM before we were able to sneak in the doors of Cracker Barrel to get some dinner. Back to the hotel for treatments, bath and bed. I get to blog. I am super tired so if none of this blog makes sense, we will blame it on NO SLEEP!</div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-57181026072939663082010-02-01T20:13:00.000-08:002010-02-01T22:18:01.343-08:00Showtime for Callie<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZV1nwCsmUUpy7MgZYJrgzWFNxZYypxUE-aqxJipYkwVRX8imLjkbsLCpvKIkjq1zEHif9LAoMbqX-JwOzveklzRNgnRvDOQm9W2yPxOKQ9SARYDjuhjuZ6aHjlHZkjnVugX74zv7i2yds/s1600-h/IMG_0134.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433502721268256818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZV1nwCsmUUpy7MgZYJrgzWFNxZYypxUE-aqxJipYkwVRX8imLjkbsLCpvKIkjq1zEHif9LAoMbqX-JwOzveklzRNgnRvDOQm9W2yPxOKQ9SARYDjuhjuZ6aHjlHZkjnVugX74zv7i2yds/s320/IMG_0134.JPG" border="0" /></a> A couple who bought a MAW kids painting for 4,000 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">dollars</span>.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivk84hKvzjoDVZ1jXRXb7C0O0N12Zr721orlpSupnyGtmubZgNBtWJbZqgjXOKBN1s4NFB3kS0DNtcwHVPDGmraQik6FvApxjl8KesuE8l1Iykso4pJCAeYg1gip4Ae_HHKCCw8VVfop7Q/s1600-h/IMG_0105.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433502708836075906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivk84hKvzjoDVZ1jXRXb7C0O0N12Zr721orlpSupnyGtmubZgNBtWJbZqgjXOKBN1s4NFB3kS0DNtcwHVPDGmraQik6FvApxjl8KesuE8l1Iykso4pJCAeYg1gip4Ae_HHKCCw8VVfop7Q/s320/IMG_0105.JPG" border="0" /></a> Callie selling a watch for 10,000 to the highest bidder.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9LAvQfF3fLTfp3Iai7o-MJiSj3OhSTVAtUvp6STlldRxiBj1bOGGe6Al5DwUpzQgWHS5hgScWwdjjXcf9XDXbQzSBHObRkbSPTuzxIVLJ0njihNwFn5VjFdpuHCLBrCh3geo2ocYXA0h/s1600-h/IMG_0137.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433502730287789970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9LAvQfF3fLTfp3Iai7o-MJiSj3OhSTVAtUvp6STlldRxiBj1bOGGe6Al5DwUpzQgWHS5hgScWwdjjXcf9XDXbQzSBHObRkbSPTuzxIVLJ0njihNwFn5VjFdpuHCLBrCh3geo2ocYXA0h/s320/IMG_0137.JPG" border="0" /></a> Callie and the design team with Simmons Owners and Guest of Honor.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5MuvjWmkNKuwxKoUURa92JBbCH1kS1b_rrlzUcJJKHQxjrTqs4UmH8g4ohDu5SePlSJdyCUDgiimpZLFmhM98GCgGIAShE67WD0sYzwak-tpj_CVxRtOpp3xFR62u07NC0x8bd4eH8FjE/s1600-h/IMG_0121.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433502714655876354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5MuvjWmkNKuwxKoUURa92JBbCH1kS1b_rrlzUcJJKHQxjrTqs4UmH8g4ohDu5SePlSJdyCUDgiimpZLFmhM98GCgGIAShE67WD0sYzwak-tpj_CVxRtOpp3xFR62u07NC0x8bd4eH8FjE/s320/IMG_0121.JPG" border="0" /></a> The design team was introduced and were encouraging the crowd about the fact that this was the first time that Paulie was the focus of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">someones</span> wish.

The local newspaper, Tulsa World had Callie on the front cover. You can see it at <a href="http://www.tulsaworld.com/">http://www.tulsaworld.com/</a>. When Callie arrived on set, she was immediately sent to an interview with the Channel 8 news in Tulsa. They were so nice to Callie and even let us know that they are going to send it to Utah and provide us the footage of the interview. We did not even get back to the trailer before we were sent to the Art Tent for Callie's filming with Paul of the plans for Ethan's bedroom. </div><br /><div></div><div>Paul was very nice with Callie and spent some time <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">prepping</span> her for the shoot. They were fun to watch as they would play on each others characteristics. Paul was also involved with a second shoot where he and Callie go to the house to get updated on the progress from the builder. They again lived it up as they went over and had Callie put her name it the driveway for the family and also put her in a bobcat to teach her to drive. The producers whispered a little something in Paul's ear that quickly reminded him that she was probably not old enough to be driving the bobcat.</div><div> </div><div>Paul and Callie had lunch together and Paul really showed his interest about Callie. We talked for a while and Paul really showed how much this means to him. After we left from lunch we went to Callie's trailer and she had a nap. After she woke up they informed her that she would be going to a charity event for make-a-wish with the rest of the celebrities (designers). At 6 pm Callie, Paul, Paige and Eduardo along with the production team all headed to Tulsa University for a benefit event in the upper <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">sky box</span> at the stadium. They mingled with the people and Callie helped auction off many items that brought in over $200,000. It was amazing to see the wonderful generosity of the people of Tulsa. Callie was the star of the night. People wanted to have their photo with her and to visit with her and to even just hug her. There were people who wanted to have a photo with just Callie while she had some of the other celebrity designers at her side. Eduardo was jealous.</div><div> </div><div>This has again been an amazing day as Callie could not have imagined the way that her wish would become a full part in the designing of a house and becoming the talk of Tulsa.<br /><br />That was all Mark now my version of the story. Today I fell in love with Paulie. He was so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">awesome</span> with Callie. While they were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">in between</span> takes at the Art tent Paul asked Callie if she would talk to one of his friends. He told her that he had a friend named Megan from New Hampshire who also had Cystic Fibrosis and he wanted to get them together. Callie agreed and Paul called Megan. Callie talked to Megan on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Paul's</span> personal cell phone for about 10 minutes. The producers were ready for another take but Paul set them straight telling them that Callie was taking an important phone call. So they waited till Callie was off. Megan is 12 and was a spectator at a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">EMHE</span> show they did in New Hampshire. She got <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Paul's</span> attention from the crowd and Paul gave her a personal tour of the home. The next day she came back to the house and caught Paul again. Paul met her parents and was immediately impressed with her story. He now has even gone to New Hampshire to help with fund raising. He said he will give Callie Megan's email so they can be good friends. Paul has a heart the size of Texas and I am a better person for meeting and knowing him. Tonight at the benefit dinner he told everyone how special it is to have Callie here. He has never been a part of someones wish and this meant a lot to him to be a part of Callie's. He started to tear up and you all know me I totally was touched. PAUL IS A WONDERFUL MAN. Callie needs to make up to him somehow, it may take a lot. All day while filming with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Paul</span>, Callie told him (7 times) that Paige was her favorite and he was her second favorite. I will work on that tomorrow.</div><div> </div><div>That about sums up the day. Only 2 more nights left and then we leave to come home. I will be so sad to leave these good people. I just hope we can keep in touch somehow. UTAH better be ready Callie might have a big head for a couple of days. Then reality will hit. Let's just say Mark and I had a whole day of being PROUD PARENTS of our SHINING STAR.</div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-69821772729668850522010-01-31T18:13:00.000-08:002010-01-31T20:11:00.751-08:00Sunday Working Girl<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig98ftePzB1A1rdwcYVXb75Ma0HUdQWEsaNsFxEr6i4gEg5mp3d_zNcWkXatW0yngyMDzojpJVtmhW-nQ17iDMYMm7CHT1w22x2hpNUTdxuwWGUjDfco9RP1AJzUUAxDUR26Y-OpbJXCM-/s1600-h/IMG_0317.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433118263042450242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig98ftePzB1A1rdwcYVXb75Ma0HUdQWEsaNsFxEr6i4gEg5mp3d_zNcWkXatW0yngyMDzojpJVtmhW-nQ17iDMYMm7CHT1w22x2hpNUTdxuwWGUjDfco9RP1AJzUUAxDUR26Y-OpbJXCM-/s320/IMG_0317.JPG" /></a> This house is going up so fast.

It doesn't feel like a usual Sunday. We were up and on our way to the set (the house) and didn't come home til 6:00PM.</div><br /><div></div><div>We loaded the shuttle today from the hotel and we had someone else on with us. Her name is Kristin Cunningham. She has done a couple of shows on HGTV and she just recently has been working with Rachel Ray. I recongnize her but wouldn't know her name. She is helping design for this house and talked with Callie about design school and told us about her career. COOL!</div><div></div><br /><div>The shuttle took us to Callie's trailer where we were able to stay warm. The weather is still in the low 30's and icey roads. We had fog when we woke up and a little snow throughout the day (nothing that accumulated). They came in and put a mic on Callie for the day and had us all wear our EXTREME shirts. They asked for Callie, Mom and "Callie's personal Photographer" Grandpa Chad. The local paper Tulsa World wanted Callie to come down to the house for some pictures. They asked us a few questions and took a lot of pictures. I will google and give you the links if there is anything there. They had then had Mark, Karla and the kids come to the VIP tent for the kids party. Mark was standing outside the tent and heard others asking "Who is She?" Mark heard people say I think she is here as part of the design team, she is a 9 year old from UTAH. Mark didn't say anything but was very amused to hear what people were saying about our little girl.</div><br /><div>They took Callie, Mom and Photographer to the Art Design Tent where Callie and Eduardo filmed a scene. Callie was unprompted or unaware of what she would be asked. Eduardo talked her through everything and what I could hear, I think she did great. They discussed some of the room designes and made a shopping list.<br /></div><div>We were then escorted back to the VIP tent for the kid party. There were so many people in the tent it was over crowded. They had candy, balloons, clowns, princesses and disney characters. Zoe was in seventh heaven with Snow White. It was totally fun. They had people that weren't with the Make A Wish leave. They had a table of Make A Wish kids that were drawing art designs. They will be auctioned off tomorrow at a benefit dinner. TY PENNINGTON came in and personally met everyone at the Wish kid table. They only had to do 3 retakes of the filming. It was awsome. After the party we went to the dinning hall for linner (lunch-dinner). Callie finally had time to go to the bathroom but couldn't. She couldn't figure out how to get her mic off that was attached to her tool belt. It was the funniest thing, we had to go find TIM to adjust her. He told her "It's hard to be famous" she told him "I just want to pee". She loves thinking she is famous.</div><div></div><div> </div><div>We waited around till 6:00 when they told us she wouldn't be needed the rest of the night. She was supposed to do another take tonight but things got pushed back again. That will just mean a early morning tomorrow. Back to the hotel we came. Went to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner. Jordan asked me while eating, "Why do we have to break the Sabbath?" I told him it was already broken early this morning. Mark is now back at the hotel swimming with the kids. That is all Zoe wants to do. If you tell her she is "Ariel" she thinks she rules the pool.</div><div></div><br /><div>Another early morning.

She truly acts like a movie star.<br />SCARY<br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We were supposed to have Callie ready to go by 2:00. They called right before and told us everything is getting pushed back. We had the afternoon off.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>So we started the day with a sleep in till 9:30. Chad and Karla slept till 10:00 (unbelieveable). I think we are just wearing them out. We had breakfast and did our treatments and needed to go shopping. We went down to the mall. Callie needed a pair of boots. There is so much snow and mud that Ty was teasing her about her bling bling shoes. We found a pair of slicker boots and a darling rain coat that is PINK. Paige will be jealous. We were rushed thinking that we had to get Callie back by 2:00 or I could have shopped all day.</div><br /><br /><div>We decided that since we had the afternoon off we would have some fun. Make A Wish had given us suggestions and tickets for things to do. We went to Andy B's for some bowling and played a couple games. Every one had fun. They also had go-karts and an arcade. They couldn't get the electrical stuff working so they let us go a second time. It was competitive. Just look at Callies face as she is trying to pass Grandpa Chad.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>We then went to the Tulsa Oilers Hockey Game. We got some dinner there and stayed until after the second period. Oilers were up 5 to 2. The game started with a major fight and the refs did NOTHING about it. I don't get all the rules but I do know they don't blow the whistle on a fight but they do blow the whistle if someone hits the puck to far. (iceing?) Whatever!</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>The kids went back to the hotel and wanted to swim. It was closed because someone had left a SUPRISE in the pool. (Gross!) Tomorrow Callie is supposed to have time with TY 12-2. That will be the blog for tomorrow. We will forsure have lots of pictures if all goes well. Here are some pictures from today. ENJOY!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Found on Ty Penningtons blog a picture of Callie.

It started with somewhat of a sleep in and then catching the van to go to the build site at 10:30 AM. When we pulled up in front of the house, th<img class="gl_spell" border="0" alt="Check Spelling" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" />e street was loaded with trailers, tents, construction equipment, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">camera</span> crew and other <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">paraphenalia</span>. The street was closed off except for security and authourized personel. We were driven right up to a private trailer and told that "This is Callie's trailer". It was exclusively for her and the family. I don't know if she fully understood what it meant to have a "Star Trailer". Mark and I just looked at each other with eyes wide open shaking our heads in awe. We had 3 different crew members at our beck and call. They came to get our signatures for employment, dissclosure, and "Braveheart". They took me to another trailer to load up with snacks and food. They were very concerned with what Callie could eat because of her Ciliac Disease. I took a whole grocery bag full of snacks food and water bottles back to the trailer. They came to put a mic on Callie and then would come back often to check on us and update us with schedule changes.<br /><br />Mark and Chad were able to participate in "Braveheart". It is the part of the show where you see the crowd of volunteers and builders walking towards the house. The kids could not be involved because you needed to be 18 or older to participate. Callie was being preped to join "Braveheart" as they arrived at the house. They filmed the crowd and introduced Callie as a special guest for this episode. She was kind of nervous but when they pulled out the TY cam, she loosened up a little. In between takes, Callie and Ty got into a snowball fight, it escalated to involve other cast members. It was COOL. It was fun to see that TY is just as friendly off camera as on. The whole staff was very good with Callie and I was impressed.<br /><br />Following the take, they could tell that Callie was getting cold and immediately had crew take us to the VIP tent where Karla and the other kids were able to watch the whole take. The whole time all of this is going on it is like a blizzard. Snowing and blowing over a sheet of ICE. The builders, SIMMONS BUILDING, have included Callie as part of their team. They have asked her and the kids to attend a party for the Simmons Builders on Sunday. We waited in the VIP tent until demolition time. Callie and the rest of us were taken to the front of the crowd to watch the tear down. It was amazing how quickly they got the house down.<br /><br />We then were taken to the dining area to have lunch with the crew. We met and talked personally with many of the "behind the scene" crew. Paulie came over to Callie at the table and told her some of his designing ideas and asked her opinion and told her to be thinking of more. <br /><br />We were then told we could meet TY PENNINGTON. They took us out to THE BUS where we (the whole family) met TY. We were able to go in the BUS and talk with Ty. Callie gave him a Make A Wish hat and he was greatful to have her here to help. He seemed genuinely glad to meet her and excited to be working with her on this house. He asked her about her ideas for rooms for the house and told her she's got to find some "fish". We had our picture outside the bus with him and then headed back to the hotel. The ride was a nail biter. The roads were a sheet of ice with 6 inches of snow on top. We made it!<br /><br />Most of the day we could not have a camera with us because of being filmed ourselves. Simmons Builders has a blog that they update hourly. You can keep up on the status of the home on: <a href="http://www.extremesimmons.com/">www.extremesimmons.com</a>. Also it gives a background on the family and gives pictures. Also Callie will have an article in the Tulsa World paper tomorrow. There website is <a href="http://www.tulsaworld.com/">www.tulsaworld.com</a> . There are many more suprises to come and a lot of go here, go there and Callie is up for the challenge. She is tired tonight. Tomorrow we don't start till 2:00. We are supposed to go to the hockey game tomorrow night we'll see how the taping goes. It might be a late blog tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out how to do a slide show of all days pictures. We'll see if it works.The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-51926831512009619652010-01-28T19:49:00.000-08:002010-01-28T20:00:56.462-08:00Each night we get our script for the next day. All the crew from EM:HE are very welcoming and go out of their way to introduce themselves to us and include Callie with everything possible. We are in the same hotel that the crew is staying at and we get the view of the bus out our room window. We found an article in the Davis County Clipper about Callie. The web site is <a href="http://www.clippertoday.com/">www.clippertoday.com</a>. Also Mark and my dad, were part of the news tonight here in Tulsa. The website for the news here is <a href="http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0110/700764_video.html?ref=newsstory">http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0110/700764_video.html?ref=newsstory</a><br /><br />We will keep you updated as more is to come, and so far we feel overwhelmed with emotion when we see Callie's wish coming true everyday. It is AWESOME!The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-48685419963932733602010-01-28T19:42:00.000-08:002010-01-28T19:49:48.938-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFb9DIEAJ1ZDZGsnLVOalMcws9GDhlmA_ynp3w2NcAjAE4NZeSrBfoboXiBqRxBRhPaGuT0-_Df_mzFi2ITZ1MKGauIVU8cQ5HMeB_KqsA0YAT-nc-IL8_LDyMW_Ya-UltUbt5kJFRIVb/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+040.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432002733107573010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFb9DIEAJ1ZDZGsnLVOalMcws9GDhlmA_ynp3w2NcAjAE4NZeSrBfoboXiBqRxBRhPaGuT0-_Df_mzFi2ITZ1MKGauIVU8cQ5HMeB_KqsA0YAT-nc-IL8_LDyMW_Ya-UltUbt5kJFRIVb/s320/Callie's+camera+pictures+040.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqpCWuzQ4HsIUWgvhXNK_LKChzNh3X6vYMvm1-nefGQ_7DLDqEHqTe1BpaAmtk2oL45-7Lkf1DQjDkt0Xt-x-z1QjKL2pQt1d1xycLW92GrT3HXLoP34HJ40mPWpG0M5S4eZzfkG_tlS_3/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+039.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432002718247914434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqpCWuzQ4HsIUWgvhXNK_LKChzNh3X6vYMvm1-nefGQ_7DLDqEHqTe1BpaAmtk2oL45-7Lkf1DQjDkt0Xt-x-z1QjKL2pQt1d1xycLW92GrT3HXLoP34HJ40mPWpG0M5S4eZzfkG_tlS_3/s320/Callie's+camera+pictures+039.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRcNmElAHCPgEPD-uqhojmofE4cgkrcR3h0xmSEhV8_URTZS5GcdiY5LaycxRhjFdywUMCiPiyri_t6Wppg1P5O__xJKFnsgXRAjt1KHj4Qp2WX071NwATp1GTRRPIFWdF5IF6wRejdnO/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+038.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432002716013566098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRcNmElAHCPgEPD-uqhojmofE4cgkrcR3h0xmSEhV8_URTZS5GcdiY5LaycxRhjFdywUMCiPiyri_t6Wppg1P5O__xJKFnsgXRAjt1KHj4Qp2WX071NwATp1GTRRPIFWdF5IF6wRejdnO/s320/Callie's+camera+pictures+038.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>We hung out at the house till it was pretty much over and we were all ice cubes. Then we came back to the hotel and all went to lunch at TGIFridays and then more swimming for our little princess "Ariel". We had a much needed nap for all and woke up to our car frozen shut. There was a sheet of ice on everything in Tulsa. They advise us to stay at the hotel until production time tomorrow. At 11:30 tomorrow Callie officially arrives (for the shows sake) and will film meeting TY and the team.</div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-21910579684379384012010-01-28T19:23:00.000-08:002010-01-28T19:41:10.562-08:00<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_CVm36wUdSDK5I2gko7ftNbf7fIDSdvnbcIIEn1o7cektA9U6TYdFPsVwlJd4my1oDG_63-r3W5gZ99zxJ_EMuGgHVIfdUxXMznAt-cz3UkXV5QCuUJYKKIaZL7McL87VaeVJemh4DYL/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+028.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431998188449409634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_CVm36wUdSDK5I2gko7ftNbf7fIDSdvnbcIIEn1o7cektA9U6TYdFPsVwlJd4my1oDG_63-r3W5gZ99zxJ_EMuGgHVIfdUxXMznAt-cz3UkXV5QCuUJYKKIaZL7McL87VaeVJemh4DYL/s320/Callie's+camera+pictures+028.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtjO21EJoaFJ4Zn9vpCJfh1UpcxYVMekuAec8CywZzebYa_9zKXJx19Gr3QV2TrK4tJeOm6vGttmGr5EboxHge2Sq2c-LM5cOBj-MKj6DqB_dw63NOn8TNHjuddlyJK8_2TGn8pC5MM6d/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+022.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431998180318591618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtjO21EJoaFJ4Zn9vpCJfh1UpcxYVMekuAec8CywZzebYa_9zKXJx19Gr3QV2TrK4tJeOm6vGttmGr5EboxHge2Sq2c-LM5cOBj-MKj6DqB_dw63NOn8TNHjuddlyJK8_2TGn8pC5MM6d/s320/Callie's+camera+pictures+022.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz1gPLMg09RAtfmxmdOzlQ8F4WhX1DWC3dthdxZpzcLmKh0dazLlbwa-VG2d6FGLaH5YWTbdSKG2GMnUBTnIEwan7Uipy81SfbLi_JTOj135BzFO78ReY2odnglDvzdF4tpFXSCFnhEFhG/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+019.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431998171469865714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz1gPLMg09RAtfmxmdOzlQ8F4WhX1DWC3dthdxZpzcLmKh0dazLlbwa-VG2d6FGLaH5YWTbdSKG2GMnUBTnIEwan7Uipy81SfbLi_JTOj135BzFO78ReY2odnglDvzdF4tpFXSCFnhEFhG/s320/Callie's+camera+pictures+019.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Today was a early morning. We met with the producers and Make A Wish in the lobby. We had breakfast and then we had a gathering with the designers, builders, producers, security, and "CALLIE from Utah here with her family". Everyone introduced themselves. When Paul, Paige and Eduardo introduced themselves the all said " I'm ---- I will be Callie's assistant this week". It made Callie feel like she was the star of the show. We loaded up in caravans and headed to the fair grounds to gather and head to the house. Here is a picture of the Extreme Train of equipment, producers, staff, builders and Callie. We were the second van followed by 30-35 more vehicles behind. At the fair grounds they put Callie and Mark in the production trailer and we headed a mile further up the road to the house. Callie and Mark got to watch and listen to all the build up and arrival of the bus. The family came running out when they heard TY on the mega phone and it was an awesome sight.The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-67308256044235088502010-01-28T19:07:00.000-08:002010-01-28T19:21:14.981-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdaEe-wg2ZdiDy35S1fxzKDoRkK0pMypz8GYoq2qZEHFNiRNfLy34wP9YfnD7EM9bpK_vEgg30uxX4wR5Yj2H4n-RkPlM8xyzMvlv70hom8gjTX9Jgyn65F_z4oUtwGsT6MFyi-eMoXVEz/s1600-h/Callie's+camera+pictures+014.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We got our luggage checked in and headed to security. Kelly and Debbie said there goodbyes. MAKE A WISH VOLUNTEERS ARE AWESOME! </div><div> </div><div>We landed in Tulsa, the flight was good (no turbulance), got a rental car and headed to the hotel for dinner and swimming. </div><div> </div><div>I went to Chad and Karlas hotel to start blogging and Mark called and said "The producers wanted to meet in the lobby in 15 minutes" I went back, got in the elevator to get back to the room to get everyone ready and TY walked in the elevator with me. I noticed who he was and he tried to be very descreat. I said to him "I'm going to meet you, soon" he gave me a funny look and I told him I was Callie Londons mom and he said "I've heard of her". I tried not to let my excitement show so I told him I would see him soon and I had to get off on the 3rd floor and he kept going on to the 7th. Too bad I wasn't on the same floor I could have had some more one on one time with TY.</div><div> </div><div>The meeting with the producers was good. We met with the executive producer, Brady (who we had the telephone interview with last Friday) and met Steve the assistant producer. They did ask us our schedules because they may get put behind a day or two. There is supposed to be a ice storm that could be bad. Tomorrow they are doing the door knocking and we all get to go. They ask that we not drive and that they would caravan us where we needed to be. The safty of their staff and our family is of high importance.</div><div> </div><div>I was worried we didn't bring enough to keep us warm so we headed to walmart to load up on coats, hats, gloves and an umberella. Now we are ready! We've got an early morning, we need to meet the Make A Wish in the lobby at 6:55 and then with the producers at 7:30AM. I promise to keep you updated. </div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-64568042682936460012010-01-27T21:15:00.000-08:002010-01-27T21:17:23.541-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0D9lixKfmeXUnnpVGuQRrHVrME-QTXvthINWZWhJm8GjEpirmNFBKJfYEu66onPlZK6qgnPL8VwBwuzHucFOSs-rCnolignyqfzswvINbJySvK57wuaK92kg_Rh7_QNQRhbXe8VMMIfhD/s1600-h/IMG_9996.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431655446665624946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0D9lixKfmeXUnnpVGuQRrHVrME-QTXvthINWZWhJm8GjEpirmNFBKJfYEu66onPlZK6qgnPL8VwBwuzHucFOSs-rCnolignyqfzswvINbJySvK57wuaK92kg_Rh7_QNQRhbXe8VMMIfhD/s320/IMG_9996.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin7kRZ5KbQNawUNBouRcV4WN0I8_cpTHamWzaxrc8-MOAkoPxUO5VIwlpXB8dNfWsclOSynIbkzw1cDPtnhP3ClDcxy9v21HbxzWFR8-ACYdSbuKrmmJbORmdUqqoFyq4iwXaXSicYyevD/s1600-h/IMG_9985.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431655438960269698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin7kRZ5KbQNawUNBouRcV4WN0I8_cpTHamWzaxrc8-MOAkoPxUO5VIwlpXB8dNfWsclOSynIbkzw1cDPtnhP3ClDcxy9v21HbxzWFR8-ACYdSbuKrmmJbORmdUqqoFyq4iwXaXSicYyevD/s320/IMG_9985.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-75027019863685308162010-01-27T21:14:00.000-08:002010-01-27T21:15:38.803-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD4RX3TUuRjfa_KVUqSLPv49kgCnt4fpQQebjcvQLaCCOZ0JQO1od4SPv34q9L6MHsjtOaQopu4FR-FzUXa-YPVCFz4i2fIo2sumh4vn0jEfdoSC6C9fxblGmrhRA7f14SkjtuFhQgmsS/s1600-h/IMG_9980.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431654960456429362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD4RX3TUuRjfa_KVUqSLPv49kgCnt4fpQQebjcvQLaCCOZ0JQO1od4SPv34q9L6MHsjtOaQopu4FR-FzUXa-YPVCFz4i2fIo2sumh4vn0jEfdoSC6C9fxblGmrhRA7f14SkjtuFhQgmsS/s320/IMG_9980.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwTzaI4Agv4iwEKptbhzttiFQlJTxM_6TcRepfWvCAc5v52fkZ-WFK8mMaSzKd-eunmyhEf-u8cvx70L6IPNys7kFp0cS-8UhOuFmk2dGdTSgpZRe9f1ae_tUhEIZJmdmtvjgc6WecizzW/s1600-h/IMG_9973.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431654950494884178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwTzaI4Agv4iwEKptbhzttiFQlJTxM_6TcRepfWvCAc5v52fkZ-WFK8mMaSzKd-eunmyhEf-u8cvx70L6IPNys7kFp0cS-8UhOuFmk2dGdTSgpZRe9f1ae_tUhEIZJmdmtvjgc6WecizzW/s320/IMG_9973.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-49132167933374133262010-01-27T18:40:00.000-08:002010-01-27T21:13:58.209-08:00Oklahoma We're On Our Way<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLOpQYWWoVHbWCPTgXxDMsLNS6vawbkUwieEfo9d4rM_9Abcp-JBx1PSucajJ2RiCzs84j_kJSAqHAW_60ryi4MqCcYSpy1reglnba4CeO8QfagdrqTcadmmRS9hHvS574VszTNkmrEcr6/s1600-h/IMG_9970.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431654510175956274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLOpQYWWoVHbWCPTgXxDMsLNS6vawbkUwieEfo9d4rM_9Abcp-JBx1PSucajJ2RiCzs84j_kJSAqHAW_60ryi4MqCcYSpy1reglnba4CeO8QfagdrqTcadmmRS9hHvS574VszTNkmrEcr6/s320/IMG_9970.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiolAFSuzVMCda1itU_rvFzUSOYLBekiJcw5j2pq0zYZGzKfJh890QW_BUcatwOxiudLUhLdBjVI3cSUeuDq67Mr_IA-k5VLLAF-7SpqLPOvjCPQYni5ONZAAzxqoWreVlGkRSUDB8ugcEY/s1600-h/IMG_9967.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431654499192955138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiolAFSuzVMCda1itU_rvFzUSOYLBekiJcw5j2pq0zYZGzKfJh890QW_BUcatwOxiudLUhLdBjVI3cSUeuDq67Mr_IA-k5VLLAF-7SpqLPOvjCPQYni5ONZAAzxqoWreVlGkRSUDB8ugcEY/s320/IMG_9967.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>What a speechless event today! Debbie and Kelly from Make a Wish pulled off a HUGE suprise for Callie. We had family, neighbors, friends, Callie's 6th grade class, teachers and whole ton of kids skipping school in our front yard for a shout out and police escort send off. There were about 100 people there and it was wonderful. Callie stood on the front porch speechless in awe of the people who were there to support her.<br /><br />We loaded the Limo full of all our luggage and waved goodbye as everyone was cheering as we headed down the road. Callie felt like she was in a parade. Waving all the way down the road half hanging out the window waving and cheering with the crowd. The police escorted us to the freeway with sirens blaring and stopping traffic to get us on our way. We even went through red lights as the police held up traffic. We drank Shasta in the Limo and felt like the most important people in the world.<br /><br />THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED US TODAY! It meant the world to Callie!</div></div>The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281095905546622759.post-69845710481821875242009-12-10T22:49:00.001-08:002009-12-10T23:16:31.572-08:00Time is quickly going by everyday. The last little update is: Christmas is only 15 days away. Grandma and Grandpa are hopfully coming for the holidays. Field trips and book reports are due. School will be starting for me. Christmas lights are up. It snowed. New snow blower for Mark. Two nights in a row of fancy dinner dates with Mark. Shopping is almost done. Not everything is wrapped. Having to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Night. And the best part about everything HEALTHY KIDS. (What more can I ask for).<br /><br />I feel so blessed this year to be living where we are. I don't know what the future will bring, I hope we can sell our house. I want to buy this house. Iwill be going to school, all of this is happening very fast. I am just so greatful for kids that are happy, a husband who loves me and jobs to keep us fed. The rest will just work out.The Londonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10200379779572738277noreply@blogger.com0
