A Little Work

We went straight to work today. The first thing I had to do was take down this wall border in my bedroom.

Who would want hunting dogs in their bedroom? Not me! I forgot to take some pics of some great friends who came by to help, but here's our hard work.

I was so happy to see those dogs off the wall! Thank you ladies!

Today our appliances were delivered. Hubby went straight to work installing them.

A little bit at a time and soon it will look like a home, our home!

We Have The Keys!

Today was a good day! We got the call that our escrow was CLOSED and we could pick up our keys! We gathered up the family and headed right over.
There was our realtor with keys in hand!
She handed them over to us and we walked into our new home!
It felt so good!
The kids were so excited!
Well here we are in front of our new home!

Papers, Papers, Papers!

We just signed the papers on our house! We were told it would take about an hour. It took close to 3 hours! It's like when you buy a car and they tell you you'll be done soon and it takes 2 long hours!
I have never seen so many papers. It just went on and on! At least in the end you get something well worth it! I can't believe how fast things have happened. By this time next week we will be in our new house.
I'm so glad spring break is around the corner. The kids will be home and able to help unpack. I also won't have to stop and go pick them up from school.
It's going to be so much fun to see our stuff and out of storage. I think I've forgotten what's even in there!
UPDATE: We just found out this afternoon, we are getting our keys Monday!
I never thought this day would come but I honestly believe that the Lord works in mysterious ways!

What Season Is It?

It's baseball season! Here are some pics from Kenny's last game. I was able to get a few without disturbing or embarrassing him. Have I said before, "I just love watching him pitch"? I do! Here he is warming up.

On the mound.

Striking the batter out!

He did great. Even picked off a runner. More pics to come!
Stay tuned for Mateo's opening day this weekend.

Can't Keep It To Myself

Here's my latest project.

It was so much fun to make. I made it for a friend, who is giving it for a bridal gift. Next I'll be making myself one!
I also have plans for some new chore charts. The kids are gonna love me!
And while I'm at it why not a menu board!
That's just to name a few projects up my sleeves.
Stay stuned!

New Do

I have been meaning to take a picture of the kids lately, but have had no time. We're all so busy and our schedules have made it hard. I've been wanting some updated photos of them. They all have changed so much this year. Especially Kenny! Here is a pic from Christmas.

He grew out his hair, wears skinny jeans and bright colors. He's become a real teenager. At first I wasn't sure how I was going to like the appearance change, but I grew to like it. I've grown very attached to his hair. I've even been putting off cutting it. His baseball coach said the whole team had to have a clean cut. I'd planned on cutting it, I just wanted a good pic first. Well his coach finally said something and off we went to the barber.

We tried to keep it current still. I told him he has to grow it out after baseball! Well at least next year he'll be playing for a different team and hopefully they won't make him cut his hair. Although, who knows how he'll want to wear his hair next year!
