Four Things That Make You Laugh Lately
1. Tickling Reese for 30min on Sat, Ryan got annoyed that all he heard was Reese laughing for 30 min!! I got a good laugh!
2. Last Sunday when Reese thought it was so amazing his CTR teacher let them make butter in class and had homemade bread!
3. Lauren always says hilarious stuff
4. Reese is right behind her, he always makes me laugh!


Four Favorite Pictures (at the moment?)



1. Reese had to wait about 20 minutes for his turn. He looked a little nervous sitting on the grass looking up at all the kids who went before him. When he finally got his turn it was hilarious, the kid is so fetching skinny the guy had to keep yanking on the bungie cord to send him flying!



2. This hasn't made it to my blog but it was taken a few weeks ago at our new house! Reese has a serious obsession with Spiderman can you tell??!! He's turned his sister into a dork just like him!



3. Okay this is already up on my blog but I love this picture. That was such a fun day, we haven't had many of these lately!



4. This is by far my favorite picture I've ever taken. I gave this to my dad framed for Father's Day, it was a rough one for him and made him shed a few tears! His little Dado is precious to him!

Fun, amidst the stress!

On Friday we went to the Utah County Fair at Thansgiving Point. It was small but really fun. We met my parents there and had some dinner and overpaid on some carnival tickets and had a blast! The kids absolutely loved it. My favorite was watching the kids on the tractor pulled "cows"/carts! It was hilarious and well worth our $4.00!! It was 5-8min of perfect bliss and the kids loved it! All together it was a very fun evening and a good break from all this horrible stress! Yes the house is still scheduled to be done in less than 3 weeks! Love to all!!

Now I need a few prayers!! :(

We found out Monday morning around 8am that our new house would be done in 4 weeks! I'm super stressed knowing that we haven't sold our townhouse and there is some stuff that needs to be fixed up before we put it up for sale. I'm still excited for the move just not prepared to do it a month ahead of schedule! So now it's crunch time!!! Pray for us!

Love~

House Update

I wish I could be more exciting but really I'm not!! Not much has been going on, keeping busy with my two rug-rats and my calling which takes up the days I'm not doing anything! Ryan was out of town for the first part of the week and since he's been home not a whole lot of progress has gone on with clearing out clutter from our townhouse. Hopefully we can make major progress this weekend. The house is coming along a little slower now, still fast but a little bit slower. They finished painting a few days ago and did the fireplace stone work. It looks nice. The exterior of the house is really looking good, I was slightly nervous I saw the first part of it put up but now that it's finished I think it's going to look great. We had a slight mishap with the trim stone last week. The day before the stone was to go up we noticed that the boxes said the wrong color. We emailed our sales agent and apparently he did not get the message to the poor guy actually doing the stone. Oh you guess it, the very next day by 12:30pm the guy was done with the garage trim stone, mind you it's the wrong color!!! :( Thank goodness Ryan speaks Spanish, and explained that it was the wrong color. I felt horrible that he had waisted a half days work, stupid sales agent! By that evening the right stone was delivered and now all the stone work is done. It looks like they will be doing the final stucco color this week. The pictures I'll post with this blog are still in the middle of doing the exterior. Anyway, other than house stuff and my calling and my 3!!! children to keep up with we're doing good. Rebecca I love all the new pictures and always look forward to checking your blog for new pictures and stories. I hope you're doing okay, I need to call and have a chat with you!! Jackie I hope better days are starting to take over the chaos ones!! Love to everyone!!!

House!! :)

We went up to the house yesterday after church. The last time I was there they hadn't done anything new. When we got there the doors were locked and I had to hop down one of the basement windows and unlock one of the doors. They finished muding and taping and hung all the doors. They were in the middle of putting up all the window molding and base boards. And they spray painted on the exterior where the stone and stucco go. It looks like they'll probably be doing that by the end of the week. Woo Hoo!! Oh and I got a phone call from a someone in our old ward who Ryan home taught and she has an interested buyer. So cross your fingers everyone! If not I'm sure we won't have a problem finding someone to buy our townhouse! I'll hopefully have a new picture of the house and something else to talk about other than this new house!!

P.S. I hope you have a "good day" today Jackie! :)
