New play kitchen from Santa!!


The kids had a wonderful Christmas, the both loved the play kitchen they got from Santa and are doing a good job sharing it. They love the new house and so do we. We all have room to breathe now and I told JOsh this mornign he can now hide from me. We have most of the moving done just minor small stuff let. Hope everyone had a good Christmas!!!!!

House Update

We finally have good news. Our house is done and all the other issues associated with it have been resolved. We are moving in next Saturday the 20th. SO yes I get to be in by Chrsitmas and yes it willbe a crazy mess. I am very excited and stressed but we are headed in the right direction. We have already sent our letter to Santa telling him to please bring presents to our new house. Kaylee is really confused and doesn't understand what moving all means so that will be a fun transition. We hope everyone has a great week and a Merry Christmas. I probably will not get any new stuff up till after X-mas with the move and events for the holiday but I will get the x-mas photos of the kids and new house up as soon as I can!!

Ginger Bead House

We attempted to create a gingerbread house. We all had fun but it was not structurally sound, so good thing we were not building our own house. HAHAHA!! The side walls fell in a bit but it is still standing and the kids love looking at it. I had my holiday party for work that day so the kids got to hang out with daddy for the afternoon and they were all playing Playstation Football when I got home. Kaylee really loved it which surprised me and Kolt go mad b/c he didn't know what to push and Kaylee kept yelling at him. She is bossy and yes she probably learned that from me!!!!

Holiday Program

Here are photos of the kids at their holiday program for preschool. Neither one sang the songs and we got no photos with Santa. Kaylee had a melt down and had to be removed from the room and Kolton was ok until I sat him on Santa's lap. The kids enjoyed the hats and program part but that was it.

Munchkins

Here are some fun photos of the munchkins. They sure love being goofy. My Christmas cards are ready and I will be sending them out soon. They turned out good and yes Mom it has a family photo on it not just the kids.

House update

For those who are wondering we are still waiting to get into our house. We are waiting out some legal issues and then will be in the clear. We have to wait till at least Dec for the legal stuff to be resolved and then we can move forward faster. They are still working on stuff and the constructon in continuing and it is looking very nice but we probably will not be in for this Holiday season but should be able to start the new year right and get moved in. We are going out tomorrow to see my new fridge installed and the basement is drywalled and the porch railing is up so I can't wait to see it. I will add new photos of the house once I get them. HAve a great weekend!

Preemie Halloween party

On Sunday the 26th we had Kaylee's preemie Halloween party at the hospital and they got to decorate their onw pumpkin. We also got to see one of our favorite nurses when we visited the NICU. Our favorite night nurse Tammy was working and we were all very happy to see eachother. Tammy couldn't believe how big she has gotten.

Pumpkin Fun

The kids really enjoyed digging the insides out of the pumpkin and liked watching dad carve the face of the pumpkin. They also enjoyed picking the pumpkin out at the pumpkin patch and the hayrack ride!!

Some more house photos

They are getting ready to do the dirt work around the house and hopefully things will get moving faster. All the walls are framed in the basement so they need to hang drywall. Josh is getting started on some flooring here soon. Hopefully they will put in the big window seats in the living room and master bedroom so we can see how much light will come though and what the walls really will look like. We still do not have a move in date but hopefully before Thanksgiving!! We would love to celebrate the Holiday's at our new house.

Peaceful sleeping

Kaylee was suppose to be sleeping on my bed and when I went to check on her I couldn't find her, she had crawled under my bed and fell asleep. She did not liek us pulling her out to put her in her bed.



Kolton loves to fall asleep on the floor and this time he would let go of his favorite toy. He loves kicking any ball he finds.

What a cute cubby face. Momma's boy

Mommy's boy

My little man has turned into such a ham and he thinks he is pretty cute. He has grown up so fast and overight he has gone from my baby to my big boy.

House Move

Our house finally moved out to Seward. They moved it on Wednesday and spent the rest of the week sliding it on the foundationa nd setting and securing the house to the foundation. We are headed out today to see it on the foundationa nd will all more photos later.


This was the corner going into the circle we will live on that I didn't think they would be able to get through but they had to use a special trailor that they do not usually use just for this corner. They could independantly steer the back wheels of the trailor and after they took the street sign out and some tree limbs they made it through just fine. I was finally able to breathe a little better after they cleared that point

This is sitting right in front of the foundation and it was a long day and started to rain so they supported it and were coming back to finish up in the days to follow. Finally one big step closer to being done!!

Gymnastics

Kaylee loved gymnastics and her teacher was really good with her. It took awhile for her to warm up but then she had fun and did better than Josh and I thought she would. The pictures are hard to see b/c I took them through the glass but if you click on them and make them bigger it is easier to see her. She is laying across the semi circle think on the top picture.

Look at her flip.

On a second note we were suppose to get our house moved today but Mother Nature had other plans and it was too wet in Seward with the weekend rains and today's rain. We are now shooting for Wednesday if it dries out enough. They have it loaded and ready to move just waiting on the weather now. Will update as that happens.

New car

The beast is gone and we now have an Acadia


The kids were making me dinner from sand!!! Yummy



I am sad to report I got rid of the Tahoe. My dream car had to go with gas prices so high and our move to Seward (hopefully this year) We now have a GMC Acadia it is nice and we like it just not as well as the Tahoe but amazingly it's roomier on the inside and rides nice. The kids like it. On a nother sad note our house has still not been moved, hopefully we will light a fire under them and get it done. I have added photos of the countertops. That is the only new thing that has been done from previous photos. I also added a few of the kids withour new car.


Have a great Labor day!
