We Did It!

We actually survived and closed on the house today. I can't believe it actually happened. We are moving in on Tuesday and we can't wait!

p.s. Thanks for the rude comment Uncle Juji :)

House Buying Stuff

I swear if I don't go crazy by the end of this process I'll be lucky. We were supposed to close yesterday, but couldn't b/c we were waiting on one signature, but the date has really been up in the air since the end of last week. Since we weren't sure on dates, we haven't been able to schedule anything as far as moving, and weren't sure how to proceed as far as packing. Yesterday they were telling us probably next Tuesday for closing, but for sure by next Thursday. Well, surprise surprise, we just got a call they want us to close in three hours up in Salt Lake. We are happy, but so stressed. Ryan is down at work with a car that isn't working, I have all the kids and we aren't finished packing. In short, we weren't planning on today (although my Mom called it!). I think we'll just move in slowly with little stuff over the weekend, and then do the whole moving truck thing on Monday. I don't know, this is such a pain in the butt!

Can you tell I'm scatterbrained and crazy today???

Mechanic in the Making

Our old white car has been sitting in our driveway since about March. It needed a new battery, spark plugs, and alternator, and has been dead the whole time. We haven't worried about it b/c Ryan has been driving the scooter, but with our move being only a few days away we needed to get it fixed.

Ryan is becoming quite handy at car maintenance these days.

Battery = check (that one is actually super easy and he has been doing our batteries for years).

Spark Plugs = check
Alternator = a work in progress (although he has done one before, just not on this car)

Lila was quite fascinated by the whole process. She loved digging in his tool box and handing him different wrenches and other various things. She made quite the mess of it all.

Sweet Girls

Mok and Aunt Cathy came to visit this past week. Mom has all the pictures with them, so I'll post them when I get the chance. Needless to say, we had a great week and the kids were in Heaven. Sunny got this beautiful new princess outfit and she loves it.

Lila got a new baby doll and I don't think she has put it down during the last three days. It goes in the car with us, to swimming lessons with us, and to bed with her. She loves babies (which I'm hoping is a good thing)

Look Uncle B.J.

Bugga is Jax's star shooter.

(They are playing Mario Galaxy, and you can use the extra remote and point it at the screen to collect stars. Lila doesn't really know what she's doing, but she knows it is fun. I love how she points it at the screen and waves it around just like the big kids.)

Baseball

This is all I've got. Haven't taken my camera to a game yet. Don't worry, Dad did get some pictures for me. Jax is thrilled that he and Kadin are on the same team (not so thrilled to have his picture taken.)

He is doing great. Ethan, from across the street, has worked really hard with him all spring and it shows. My favorite is "Load, Step, Explode." It has really helped with his hitting, which he is great at anyway. His fielding is really improving too. This last game he was playing by the pitcher and Kadin was first base and they actually got several kids out together (not that they actually count outs at this age, but I was still proud).

He has this week off, and then plays twice a week until the end of the month. He is excited for his next game and loves his new cleats, mitt, and hat that Bear got him.

Exciting News

Sarah's pregnant!!

Oh wait, you already knew that. Well, how about this...











We're moving!!!

We are buying our first house and should close on it at the end of the month. We are sad to leave this neighborhood and all our friends, but really excited for all that is to come.
