Our new home!!!

As of today, we are unpacked. The old house is cleaned and in the past. Our new house is amazing and wonderful. The locks are changed, the dog door is in, boxes are unpacked and we have already enjoyed some good meals here. Our double oven cooks like a champ. I even planed some flowers and herbs. This place is already home. The boys love their rooms as well. The transistion to no longer sharing a room has been very easy. Today Colin and Jason even set up swings on the clothes line pole. There will be many adventures in this house. I hope all of you had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. To view photos of our new house and a few of the boys you can view them here. Have a good one and I will post more cute pics of the little men soon.

I like to move it move it!!!

WE ARE MOVED!!!! Kind of. Most of our stuff is at the new house and we spent the night here last night. We have some small stuff to move and a whole lot of cleaning. Oh and I forgot to mention a ton of unpacking. It is a little overwhelming so I am taking a quick break. We were very lucky to have Colin's parents come over to help... It was a task. I started to clean and paint as soon as we closed Wednesday (our coffee pot died that morning as well) and when Jay and Connie got here, Jay helped too. As soon as we finished painting, Colin and his dad moved a load over. That was the first of many many loads. That night I cleaned carpets while Connie took care of the boys and the men brought load after load leaving it in the garage. The next day Colin had to work so Jay and I had at it. We got most of the stuff moved in starting with the boys' bedrooms... They love them by the way. By the time Colin got off of work, there were just a few large things to move. A friend came over to help Colin because Jay and I were spent. Connie had the huge task of riding herd on the boys.... very exhausting. Last night was our first night in the new house. It was lovely. We all slept like logs due to the exhaustion and a bit of alcohol. It was wild to wake up in our own house. I can't believe we own it. Today I am going to unpack and then we will clean the other house tomorrow when there are two of us to wrangle the boys. It has been a process and I can barely walk due to tired legs, but we are so close to the finish line. At this point we are running on fumes, but it is all worth it. I will post pictures soon, but now it is back to unpacking. Have a great long weekend everyone!!!!

So excited!!!

Closing is set for 9am Wednesday. Then we will be painting over the pink livingroom and hallway, installing the doggy door, and moving in. Thursday should be our first night in the new house and I will spend the weekend, unpacking and cleaning up our rental prepping it to turn the keys back over to the owners. Very exciting stuff. Jason and Jake seem to be excited too. Jason understands why we have boxes everywhere, but Jake thinks we are just building him forts of boxes. That is very cool for this 1 year old. he loves to wear them on his head. I am gaining ground on packing. The kids unload one box for every two I pack, so I am ahead. They will be great help on the other end of this project. Unpacking will be cut in half. I hope all of you are doing well. Take care and I promise pics after we get moved... Enjoy the warm weather!!

Mothers Day Weekend

Last weekend was amazing as always. We just love spending time together and playing. Saturday we were very grateful for the perfect weather and took advantage by golfing and playing outside. The kiddos had a blast. Jason played with his new clubs while Jake spent most of his time running through the grass and checking out the cart tires. He was pretty amazed by the cart. I was able to try out my new clubs, which are wonderful by the way. There were no records broken that day, but we sure had fun.

Mothers Day was wonderful. I was able to go on a long walk with my guys and we played until we couldn't play anymore. Jake had his first big boo boo yesterday as well. He fell, hitting his chin on the hearth. It was pretty bad and we are just thankful he is ok and he didn't have to get stitches. Thank goodness his chin held closed and didn't stay exposed for long. I would also like to thank Colin for being the level headed one..... I freaked out. Jason took his bike on the open road and is was very clear he didn't know how to break. He is terrified of riding his bike out of the back yard.... we have some more work on the bicycle front.

I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend. This next week will be a little crazy with Colin's softball league starting and us moving. Very exciting. I will take a lot of pictures and share them as soon as I get a chance. Have a wonderful week.....

Back on baby!!!

Things are back on track. We will close on the house on the 20th, with no extra fees or expenses... My dear husband got it done. When things went sour, he went to the source. It took one disgruntled man to make a difference. All is well again. The sellers are happy and we will start to pack. Jason and Jake would rather unload boxes and play in them though. They are goofy. Life is wonderful and when things seem rough there is always a light shining. Take care everyone and I will try to take some pics this week and get them posted soon.
