Boys and their toys...

With every new house, comes new toys!  After it took Jason 3+ hours to hand cut the lawn two weeks ago, a riding mower/tractor has been purchased.  After a few days of a cleaning up hundreds of bird droppings on our back patio, a plastic pellet gun has been purchased.  After Rylan has asked for water 100s of times since we moved in (he could get it himself at the other house but this fridge's water dispenser is on the inside and too high for him), a new fridge for our laundry room has been purchased.  After a week of the stomach bug running it's course through our family, life should get back on track tomorrow.  I think I can officially say that we are pretty much settled in.  Life is working out it's kinks, but this is going to be an awesome home for us, and is already proving to be so.  I am beginning to envision what it will look like in a couple of years and I am thrilled to be creating new memories here already.  Thank you God for all that you have blessed us with, mostly each other, and thank you friends and family to all of your support over the last few months as we have been on our hectic roller coaster of fun! 

(Since all of the craziness, blogger has seemed to change on me and I cannot figure out how to get my pictures up?!?!?!?  They are showing up in my template but not on the blog, so bear with me while on work on that (cause I have nothing else to do, right?  :) ))

hugs,

ahhh....

I can breathe.  It has been a LONG few months of stress and moving.  Our old house still has not sold, so fingers and toes crossed as well as prayers for that are appreciated.  However, our new house is complete, being filled with love and memories already, and going to be a very great home for us through the years.  Almost all of the boxes are empty, decorating and wall hanging have yet to begin, and cleaning has not happened yet, but we are slowly getting settled and organized.  Now that school is over for Rylan for the summer, and our schedule lightens up, we will have plenty of time to work on things.  I feel so lucky and blessed to live in such a beautiful home with a great family. 

Rylan has been enjoying swimming, soccer, and gymnastics.  Jason had A LOT of fun with the time elapse setting on  my camera.  It basically is the whole game in snap shots so I apologize in advance for the 200+ pictures of the little man playing soccer.  Callie Jae is a fun handful.  She is busy busy busy busy...I could go on and on.  She is very strong willed and loves to do everything that Rylan didn't.  It is going to be joyful few years ;).  She definitely has a lot of spunk!  CJ is loving gymnastics and swimming for the most part, except when the coach takes her away from me to swim with her.  She has already been moved up to Starfish II!  Go Callie Jae!

Enjoy the pictures.  Keep in mind that it is dirty, not decorated, and has no pictures hung, but we are slowly working on things!
