The clock is ticking down

We now have less than a week before the big move. I'm SO ready! We have packed almost all of our small things. The movers will be here Friday morning to take the big stuff. I think it really started to hit me this weekend that we won't be living in our current house much longer. I'm not sad about it...I'm just trying to get used to the idea of having a new routine. A new floorplan, a new route to daycare, a new route to work, etc. We won't start on our new house until after the dust settles with all of our closings (we have two house closings and multiple lot closings in the next few weeks.) Our builder is also trying to move into his new house next weekend, plus his daughter is getting married. I hope everyone had a good weekend...keep us in your thoughts this week. Pray for sunshine on Friday!

Less than two weeks...

We move in less than two weeks...I can't believe it. I think it finally hit me tonight when I was thinking about it...we will be in a new house next week. Wow! I think we are in good shape packing. We've known for a while so it has given us plenty of time to pack a little at a time and stay organized.

This past Saturday, the Miller's hosted a party for our euchre club and all of our children. We had a great time. Thanks so much for hosting Jenny and Travis! I'm already looking forward to our party next year!

Presley had her 9 month check-up today. She weighed 21 lbs and 13 oz and was 28 inches long! She is growing up so quickly.

Who needs a pool....

Who needs a pool when you can go swimming in the fish pond at Grandma's house? On Saturday night we went to Bryce's dad's house and had dinner. His dad told Landen to put his feet in the water...and it was all over from there. His diaper was green from all the algae...and he could have cared less! On Sunday, we had a family picnic for Bryce's mom's side. It was at a nearby park. We played a game of baseball and I am still sore from running around the bases. The picture of Presley was taken at the picnic.

Trip to NY

Last weekend we took a trip to NY to see my family. We had a great time seeing everyone there. The kids were pretty good in the car on the way there and back...thank heavens for DVD players!! We really lucked out with the weather...most days were sunny and high 70's. We had a BBQ on Sunday and all of the family came. The kids had a good time playing with their cousins. Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful weekend!!

Presley is crawling...

And she looks like a little frog. Her two arms extend and then her back legs hop to catch up. I think Landen taught her how to do the frog crawl! She is pulling up on anything and everything.

We had a great weekend. The weather was really nice...not too hot. We spent some time packing and our garage is filling up fast. We have less than five weeks until we have to be out of this house. We still don't know for sure where we will be living but were trying finalize those plans soon! Hope everyone is doing well.

We sold the house!

We finally sold the house. It had been on the market for 15 days this time and a couple relocating from South Carolina bought it. We are scheduled to close on August 4th so we are busy packing. It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate in six years with kids! A little over-whelming to say the least. We plan on building a house in our subdivision development. Bryce is finalizing the house plans and we won't start building until we close on this house. That also means that we will be living somewhere while our new house is being built. We are still looking for that in-between place!
The kids are doing well. Presley now has eight teeth. She can sit up by herself after she's been on her tummy or back. Landen moved to a big boy bed this week. He's doing really well. This will be the 5th night in a row! We're so proud of him.

Relaxing weekend

This weekend was low key...I needed it after the week that I had. Those short weeks always are the worst. Five days worth of work packed into three. On Friday night, I went to see "Sex and the City" with a group of girls. The movie was hilarious...I would recommend going to see it if you watched the show.

On Saturday, we got a call from Tonja that someone wanted to see the house. So Bryce and I cleaned like crazy for 1.5 hours. We didn't hear anything so I guess they found something better. We have another showing tomorrow and Tuesday...so we'll see.

Dave and Tuula picked strawberries today and they dropped some by. We had them after dinner and they were soooooo good!! There is nothing like fresh strawberries with angel food cake.
