The things kids say

I just have to share a few of the things the boys have said recently:

The boys and I were talking about Daddy's birthday comming up last week and Preston told me:
"We should get Daddy a "7" and a "3" that way he won't have too many candles to blow out,"  Shawn turned 37 yesterday. 

We went to my parents house for dinner Sat. night and my mom had made a new potato salad recipe that uses pesto.  While eating dinner the following conversation went on:

Me: Kaleb eat your potatoes.  (I had put two potatoes from my mom's potatoe salad on his plate plus two plain potates from what I made).
Kaleb: Mommy, I only want to eat CLEAN potatoes. 
We all lost it!  We laughed, and laughed and laughed.  Oma said "I didn't know I made dirty potatoes."  LOL 

Love all the silly stuff these boys come up with to say. 

Just Moved!!

Just Moved!!

We finally moved into our new home in April!  YEA!  We are still in the process of unpacking...man it's hard to have motivation and energy to unpack after working all day outside the home.  The boys room is almost done.  They decided that they wanted to do a super hero theme, so their bedroom is spider man blue and red.  Don't worry, only one wall is red, and it's the wall with the window thankgoodness!  My parents came over and painted the room for us.  The boys say that Oma & Opa helped THEM paint  LOL!!  They are a hoot!  I found some really cool metal pictures at Hobby Lobby that have different heros on them - spiderman, superman, batman etc.  They were even half off!  SCORE!  I was also able to find batman bathroom items at Target.  Pictures to come soon of the boys room and bathroom.  They are loving it!!

Here's a pic with two of the metal pictures that I found at Hobby Lobby.

House for sale

We put our house on the market back in July.  We got an offer in Nov. but it just wasn't time or God's will for us to sell yet.  We actually were about to take it off the market when we got the call after a showing the week after Christmas.  The lady loves our house.  We had an offical offer the first week of Jan.  She is even paying asking price!  I can hardly believe it!  So we had to really get on the ball of finding our next home.  Originally we wanted either 4 bedrooms or 3 and a study or a formal dining area.  We found a great house in Yukon, made an offer and have an agreed contract.  We just did the inspection on Friday.  There are a few more things that need to be fixed than expected, but will see what happens when we send the repair list to the owner.  One of the great things is the owner no longer lives in the house, so they are pretty motivated and we can start moving our stuff to the garage before we close.  We hope to find out this week what the next step is and if we will come to an agreement and still close on Feb. 11th, 2013.  I have been packing my little heart out.  There is only 2 weekends before we actally start moving.  YIKES!  Good thing I had today off.  I have been throwing away quite a bit of "stuff" that we do not need or putting it in a "donate" or "garage sale" box/bags.  Man do we accumulate a bunch of paperwork!  The boys bring home 2+ papers most days from daycare and then all the junk mail we get...  I am really excited for the next chapter God has in store for us.  Pics to come of the new house!
