Our New House

So as of May, 25th 2010 Derek and I are home owner's. We signed paper's then went straight to work cleaning. The house was a mess and needed to be cleaned very bad. The Fridge was in need and had allot of mold inside, The carpets all needed cleaned, the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in a long time and it took me cleaning it 4 times it get it clean. I have been painting the boys bedroom a light sky blue color, I accidentally stepped in the paint and my bottom of my feet is blue (I had plastic down). My aunt came over and has been a great help. I have the boys carpet to clean the all the carpets will be done but cant do that till I get more paint to finish the boys walls (the only walls in the house being painted). We haven't even started on the outside yet too much to do in the house. Its so exciting and tiring but will be so worth it once I bet everything done and we get moved in.

The wild west show

Mrs. Irion's and Christian's class did a puppet show today at school there were 3 different shows. An outer space story, and a Castle theamed story. Christian's was called The wild west. There were 6 characters in the show, The sheriff, 2 Cowgirls, an Indian girl, Dirty Dan and Cowboy Derek(Christian's). It was about a Horse thief named dirty Dan that was trying to steal horses From one of the cow girls she was tied to the train tracks but was stopped in his tracks. It was a very cute story that the kids had wrote. Christian and his class mates did a good job and also did a great job making there puppets also.

A wedding to Remember

Derek and I took the kids to a wedding on Saturday evening. Derek's Cousin was getting married in Gateway(Brian to Claudia). We all get dressed up in our cutest outfit's and drove the 1 1/2 to the Gateway Church, With a stop at walmart to grab a few things(Tights for Faith, a new pair of pants for Christian, A card for the wedding, and something to eat and drink on the way). The First problem was I left the card in the cart at walmart after I unloaded it into Van. Got to the Church and during the ceremony the pastor had said something to do with having Faith in each other and God, Well hope was so excited that he had said her sisters name she said "He said Faith" loud. after leaving we went to the reception about a mile up the road. Good food good Music. But the went to throw the flowers and Guess who caught them Yes Faith did so she was super happy. Then the boys turn for the garter he flung it it came to the boys and what should they do? Throw up the hands with a grossed out look on there faces and backed away very fast is was so funny. When asked why they didn't get it they said "it came out from under the pretty Lady's dress and they didn't want it". The kids got to dance doing the YMCA the Holkie Polkie and the boys payed the Bride at the money dance to dance with her. all in all it was a really good time.

My kid the Bumble Bee

So Hope has been on this kick about Bumble bee's for a while everything yellow she See's is Bumble bee yellow. Its even got so bad that We were talking about the New house that is Yellow (she refers to as the bumble bee house) that I told her that we were painting the house a sage green color. Hope looked at me in complete shock and started crying. When I asked her what the problem was she said " your painting my bumble bee house". What was I to do except tell the little one "yep cuz mama don't want it yellow".
But today at the table while eating breakfast she tells me Mama I'm not princess Cinderella anymore I'm a bumble bee. OK what am I to say to that at least she's using her imagination. oh and she has already told me that she wants to be a bumble bee for Halloween again not a princess.
So I guess that I have 2 boys 1 girl and a bumble bee for kids.

Buying a House

So we have found a house made an offer and they accepted it so now we have a contract on a house. We had to have an inspection done on the foundation which passed with flying colors. We did our own inspection and there was only one thing that we wanted fixed. Now we wait for the appraisal that should be done some time this week,after that theirs not a lot left to wait on were hoping that we can close early.
The kids are a little confused about the move and have tryed to explain whats going on the best that we can. In the past when they have moved it was grab a few things and leave the rest behind, so over and over again having to explain that yes they are coming with, yes all there stuff is coming with, and yes so are the dogs. But I do believe till we move they will still be confused and unsure of what is happening and why they get to take everything.
The house is huge 2016 Sq. Ft. 4 bed, 2 bathrooms, living room, family room, plus and office, Dining room, large kitchen and laundry room on almost 7 acers away from town. The kids are going to move schools but it will be a smaller school with less kids.
If we can get past all the hoops then we'll be set.I'm so excited.
