We're Outta Here.....

Hey all! The moving truck is headed our way first thing in the morning. They will pack us up tomorrow and then load us up on Sunday. I'm pooped already and it really hasn't even started. We've been running since early this morning getting all the last minute stuff done. It's been crazy. I've only got a million more things I need to do. But I figured if I didn't do this now, I would probably not have another chance. I hope you all have a great week and I'll be in touch ASAP.....

Can you believe it???

My little Landon is six months old today... Where has the time gone? I can't believe how big he's getting. I think because I know he's my last, I've really wanted to cherish every second of him being a baby and I'm so not ready for him to not be. He sure is though. He started sitting up on his own a couple of weeks ago and now he's trying his best to crawl and he's even pulled up a few times. He can grab onto my shirt and pull himself up. He grabbed onto the couch yesterday and pulled himself up onto his knees but then lost his balance and fell backwards. It won't be long now. I really don't want him to be mobile though. It's just all over then! ha ha ha... He's so sweet though. He smiles all the time. Although, he's started having an absolute fit when I leave his sight. As soon as he can see me again, he's usually fine. Little stink! He loves our new little kitten and as you can see if it gets close enough it gets a big kiss. It's really cute, but I'm sure I won't think it's so cute when it scratches him one of these days. I weighed him last night, just on my scale here at home and he weighed 18lbs. Little chunk! None of the others weighed near this much until they were much older. He's just going to be a big boy, I think. Anyways, I just wanted to share some new photos here, on our half birthday. He's just a joy and I love him so...

Moving Sale Done!!!

We had a Moving Sale over the weekend and Thank goodness it's done. We did well though. We sold most everything we wanted to. Just had some piddle stuff left over. Hailey set up a Lemonade stand. I think she sold a few dollars worth. She really enjoyed doing it though. It was so stinking hot, and so everyone ejoyed that too. I'm just glad it's over. Now, I don't have quite as much junk to take with me. ha ha ha.....

My little helper...

Look at what a good helper I have. He hands me the laundry to fold. It's a great big help to mom and he's really trying to be a big helper. Which he really is because now mom doesn't have to bend down there and get them out. ha ha ha...

We are having a garage sale tomorrow and Saturday, so I have a ton to do. I'll let you guys know how all went in a few days. Love you all!!!!

Look who's sitting up.....

My little Landon is sitting up now all by himself. He started a few weeks ago but this past week he really doesn't require any help now. He's getting so big! I can't believe he'll be six months old next week. It's going way to fast. He's really really wanting to crawl but momma does not want him too. He gets on his knees and rocks like crazy. I'm just not ready for him to do that just yet. I want him to stay a baby. Guess I can't do that though, huh? Oh well... He's so fun. He's just a sweet heart.

Bryan's 6th Birthday

Bryan will be 6 on Thursday the 19th but we had a little Birthday party this past weekend while William's parents were in. He had a great time. He got some of what he was asking for so he was so happy. He got a new playstaion game, Spiderman posters and stuff, and then a new Spiderman bike. He also got a new suit and he absolutly loves it. He even asked if he could wear it out to ride his new bike one day. You just have to know Bryan and know that he's a total prep boy and he loves dressing like this. He'd wear this kind of outfit every day if I'd let him. Anyways, he had a good birthday...

Allen Update....

Hey All! Wanted to let you know that we saw the ENT Surgeon today and she said his nose is NOT broken. However, it is fractured and he broke the very tip off of the bone in his nose. The radiology report read, "possible non-displacement fracture." Which she said meant that he has a slight fracture but nothing is out of place. She looked and said there were no blockages and she moved it all around and pushed on it and he never even batted an eye. She said that if it had been broken he would have come unglued when touched and he would have been in bad pain. She said probably what happened was number one they should have done a cat scan rather than X-ray because they are just much easier to read and number two children's are very hard to read because their bones are just not developed yet. So she said the ER doctor just read it and didn't know what he was looking at. So we've worried all we for nothing but that's okay, I'm just so glad we didn't have to do any kind of surgery. I'm sure this won't be our last scare with him. He's always into something. he's just a rough and tough little boy. Thanks for all your concerns and prayers though, we appreciated them all. Best run have a ton to do.

Water Park....

This is some pictures from our day at Hawaiian Falls Water Park. We went my Dad, Peggy, Tyler and his friend. We had a great time. The kids loved it. That's all they've talked about all week. "When can we go again????" Veggie Tales, Bob and Larry were even there. Bryan loved that. He had to go hug them every time they came around. It was a great day!

We're back....

Hello all,

We made it back in last night. We had a pretty good time. We got to get some things done that we needed to do and see the house again as well. We are all set to move at the end of the month. We will close on this house on the 27th, the packers will come on the 28th and load us on the 29th, we will then close on the new house on the 30th and they will deliver our stuff to us on the 31st. How's that for fast? It's all set and we are excited to get there and be all done.

As you can see we also took an ER trip. Allen took a big fall Monday night and broke his nose. We had met my dad in Rowlett for a few days and we had taken the kids to play in these water fountains. Well, Allen was climbing and fell about 5 1/2 feet to the cement. He broke it and pushed all the bones back into his face. So we will be seeing an Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeon on Monday at 3:30. So be praying for him. I"m sure it's not going to be fun. I'll keep you updated as to what they do. He's doing good though. He hasn't slowed down one bit.

Anyways, here's some shots of our new house too. I best run. I have a ton of catching up to do. Have a great day! :)

July 4th... Fireworks

Hey All! Hope this finds all well. Hope you all had a great 4th of July. We didn't do much. We did do some fireworks last night. The mesquitos just about ate us alive though. It was nice though. We will miss being able to do our own. The kids really like that. Landon did great. I thought he might be scared but he wasn't. He jumped a few times but he seemed to like it okay. We are off to Joshua today. We have a few things to do there. We will be back next week though. Hope you all have a great week. Take care!

We have a contract....

YEAH!!!! :) We have a contract as of last night. Of course, nothing is set in stone until we get signatures and their money. But we are excited anyways. It should work out just fine. We also still have another couple interested so they might give one today as well. So we'll see. But at least we have this one. Thanks for all your prayers and all for us. We really appreciate it. The kids and I are going back with William on Thursday, we'll be back the following week. I'll try to get over to our new home and get some pictures of it for you all. We close on it July 30th. So it's all working out perfectly, as we knew it would. It was so hard to be patient, though. Thanks again! Hope you all have a great day!

Quick update....

Well, no official bid yet. They are supposedly coming today and tomorrow for second looks. We also had another interest over the weekend. So we now have three interested and supposedly going to an offer. So please, say an extra prayer for us. We really appreciate it. I'll let you know. Love you all!!!!
