SIgNeD On HoUsE ToDaY and LiViNg with Papa and GraNdMa begin... again!!

Today was a bittersweet day. We signed papers on our house. We never in a million years thought that we would be able to purchase a house with land! It is very exciting but at the same time I'm very said to see us leaving our first home. It is full of memories everywhere I turn. I guess it is the same reason why I have a hard time getting rid of my kids clothes. It's not that they are clothes... it is the reminder of the memories of the kids. I LOVE the stage of life I am at right now with kids all between 2-8 years old but I miss my little kids at the same time. I absolutely love being a MoTheR and am so grateful to have a husband who loves us enough to get up every morning at 3:30 to go to work so I can stay home with our children! I am so blessed!

Thanks so much to all who have already helped with the house makeover process! You guys are the best!

So life with Grandma and Grandpa begin while renovating our house. The kids are on cloud 9!

HaPpy 4th BiRthDay NaThaN!

We had such a fun day with Nathan on his birthday (July 13th)! He woke up and opened up his presents from us. He is into Indiana Jones right now! He wanted a hat and the whip that made noise. He loved it! He got to choose what we had for breakfast and he wanted cereal. That was easy enough for me:)! They don't get it very often so it was a fun treat for him. After that he decided that he wanted to go to the store and pick out a toy. He ended up picking out a Lego Star Wars set. Bonus for me... it was on clearance! The kids had a blast looking up and down the aisles full of toys. When we got home we frosted his cupcakes and then spent the next two hours putting his Lego set together. Then it was time for Peter Piper Pizza with the family! Nathan is such a blessing and joy to have in our home! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful little man!



Grant had a rough day. Nathan was nice to let Grant play with his whip and hat every now and then but when it came time to re-claiming them... Grant was not a happy camper!










Even the big boys had fun at Peter Piper Pizza!

This was GRanTs way of helping out packing. We have been going through a lot of boxes that have been stored and have been finding a lot of Dads (Robs) toys from when he was a we little lad, several hats from his mission, and OTHER things! The kids absolutely love it! They have been wearing the hats and pretending to be Indiana Jones. GOOD tiMes!
