Making Progress

I FINALLY feel like there is progress in my house. We were able to take out 3 van loads to the storage unit on Saturday. We took out all the back seats to fit the last of the furniture in the van. We now have our spring break this week and I am looking forward to having the kids go through their toys and getting rid of a ton of them. There used to be a TON of furniture in the kids room but now that is gone. All that's in AN & DMs room its their big dresser and bunk bed. AJ's room is the crib, dresser and changing table. My room is another story. I've been working on everyone Else's room haven't really gotten to mine yet. Its mainly clothes so shouldn't be too bad. My goal for this week is to have the house look nice enough our property manager can come and let us know what we can rent for and get it on the market. I think things are coming along I am getting happier now. I also found out that there is sheet rock going up inside my TX home. That is coming along great. Sorry no picture with this one but this is whats going on.

JR video's

tried putting these on earlier but they didnt work. They are working now. My little man is growing up.





He's moving much faster now.

AN school fun

AN got a STAR award at school last friday. She got her award for TEAMWORK. This was an assembly for the last 1/2 of the school year. WAY TO GO AN!! We are so Proud of you.



YESTERDAY, She was in the Cup Stacking Tournament for 2nd grade at her school. Her class did awesome. They won the 3-6-3. She was in this last year for the cycle which is a lot harder and longer. She was really happy with her results.







What are the teachers teaching here?




I still think the teachers can do better. :) AN's teacher is the one in the blue.

Easter lamb

JR got this from the easter bunny. Im sure it will be very annoying pretty soon.


For some reason I cannont upload video anymore from blogger so I have my video's on youtube and will then post here.

Easter fun

Here are pictures of our Easter weekend. As I cant see what order my pictures are in I will tell you about them first. On Saturday we had our ward Easter party. We had over 3100 eggs to hide. John as EQ pres had the joy of helping the Easter bunny hide all these eggs Friday night. I really like what our ward did this year. They hid EMPTY eggs. Yes EMPTY. You can see nursery age (AJ) had the nursery room. Junior primary had the primary room (DM) by the time I made it in there the eggs were pretty much gone. Then the Senior primary they had a obstacle course with table and chairs everywhere and lights off. They had to kneel on the floor to look for eggs using flashlights to find them. After all the eggs were found they were turned in for a bag of goodies. I really liked this idea b/cause some years we had older kids with tons of candy and the little ones not so much. This year everyone had the same amount no matter how many eggs you got. The picture of AN with the flashlight was in the DARK. I love my new camera. They came out great.

Sunday the kid found their baskets and got toys, spider man toys, art set and I got enchanted and daddy got a new tie. After church AN had some candy that made her mouth blue and green. Had to have a picture.

Oh yeah. JR slept through the whole Easter party. I had him in my sling and he fell asleep pretty soon after arriving at the church.

I think that's all. JR got a very annoying lamb for Easter. I have it on video and will try to post tomorrow.

Happy Easter everyone.

Just wanted to put on a quick HAPPY EASTER out to all. Im glad church is over as choir had to do all of Sacrament today. We did a good job. Even AN got into it. We sang a few primary songs and she did great. She wanted a solo but we didnt have time for it. They told her she could do one later before we leave. She is excited about that. I do have pictures of this VERY VERY early morning I will put on later. Im tired now and want to sleep a bit before I start dinner.


HAPPY EASTER

8 Months old TODAY.

Time is flying by.

Little frogger JR

He's a crawlin'......Army style

Well this is supposed to be showing you JR crawling army style but I dont know why its not working. I can see the video when I go back to edit and preview the video. Anyway. It was really cute. He started really moving in the last few days. I reall need to watch him now that I took down all the gates.

Easter clothes

THANKS NANA

We got a box today and opened it right before FHE. They wore these all during FHE. DM was so excited and said he loves his shirt and wants to wear it on his mission. Im afraid he might out grow it by then. Cute little boy. His tie has gecko's on it.

Twins of AJ and JR

AJ does this all the time then crys when JR bites him

Pictures say it all.... :-O

I guess they got the camera. I laughed so hard when I saw some of these.

Door? Kitchen?

Is that a DOOR I see. I have a front Door. HOOORRAAAYYY. and a kitchen coming together. YIIPPEEE..

Thanks NANA...

What.... MAY????

I got a email from our builders and my contractor on our house said we should be able to close in May. Thats a whole month earlier than expected. I guess we might try to go closes then let the kids finish their last week of school. I dont know . Now the timeline has moved up I better get craken and get this house painted and rented out.

YIKKEESS!!!!!!! :-P

This is what our house looks like as of today.

blasting back to the past

So as I have been packing up I was looking through my pictures. I have lots from weddings and partys and girls camp, etc. I liked this one and I thought It was the best one where everyone is looking good. Have fun girls. I think this was when we were in Malibu for the Institute retreat. Correct me if Im wrong.

I think we all look good.

Getting there

Well, my mom has been in town helping me since monday. She is leaving tomorrow and I dont want her to go. She has bee such a great help. We got so much stuff boxed and out to storage and started painting. I still have a ton to do and now I am back to being by myself. Im amazed at how much I get done when someone else is watching the little boys. If there is anyone in the neighborhood that wouldnt mind taking the kids or helping me out for a bit PLEASE let me know. My friend Rach sent out a email to everyone in our ward to see who can help HER paint the next couple days. I guess I should wait until next week to send out my email. Im hoping that by the end of this coming week I can have most everything out and have more walls painted. It really didnt take long to paint what we already have its just all the prep work and taping. ARRRGGGHHH. I dont think I will EVER be done but I have to by JUNE. Thats only like 2 months away. We are already in the middle of March. Where has all the time gone?
