House news

Well, with all the lookers we've had at our house we decided it was time to head up north to look at some homes up there. We fell in love with a brand new 5 bedroom, 2929 sq foot home with a big gameroom for the kids, and had our offer accepted this morning! Only catch is that even with all the positive feedback on our home and prospective offers, we haven't got any offers since last week. Ackk! We have 30 days to get this one sold and closed...so any prayers would be appreciated.

We will be moving to Lavon, Texas next month if all goes smoothly.

A few more things...

Here's Teaghan showing off her waving skills tonight:
Hayley had a "Mommy Makeover" day at school on Thursday. All the kinder moms brought their hair items and make up and the kids made us over. It was too precious - when I walked in, Hayley walked me to her chair and said "would you like a massage?" She rubbed my arms with lotion. Then she went and got me 2 cookies and some water, and said "it's ok if you want to share." So Hayley got 2 cookies and I got made over. Here's my stylist: And the before: During: And after: Lots of blush on my cheeks and green and gold eye shadow...as well as 4 different sparkling lip colors. :-)

Happy Mothers Day 2008!

What a fun day! It started with a big storm at 4 this morning...I love stormy night time weather, even if it did wake me up. I got to sleep until 8:45 this morning and Gabriel had make yummy cinnamin rolls. We cleaned the house just in case we had calls to show (after 3 showings yesterday, we wanted to be safe) and headed to Target for a big family adventure. Anytime you go anywhere with 4 kids, it's definitely and adventure! The kids were great and they got a new VeggieTales movie - their favorite. We got Whataburger drive thru and ate it out on the back patio for a fun picnic. The kids went up to watch their movie and Gabriel and I got to chill out for a little bit. Off to the car wash to give my car a bath, and back home so the kids could try out their new Diego slip and slide. Fun times!! Teaghan even dressed up in her vintage Gymboree suit (circa 2002) to watch her siblings run and play and laugh together. She can't wait to join them! She is definitely growing up - she surprised us with her first tooth! Halleluah for an easy teether - thankfully she wasn't cranky while it was coming in. Woohoo!

Here are some pictures of our fun day outside! :-)

3 years ago...

...I married the man of my dreams.

Wow, it's been awhile!

So obviously I've been wayyyy too busy lately and haven't had time to update. Things are crazy and hectic, and Gabriel and I are ready for all this to be over!

Teaghan had her bible presentation/dedication on Sunday. She wore her precious blue Feltmans dress...such a doll! Unfortunately our camera was in my purse, which happened to be in the nursery while we were in the worship center. Woops! But she did look adorable, of course, and did great for her few minutes in "big church."

Garrett had an appointment with an oral surgeon yesterday to have a spot in his mouth looked at. He will have to have surgery on Tuesday (Gabriel's birthday!) to remove it. He will have an IV sedation, and will have 3-5 stitches for a week. He was supposed to start swim lessons next week, but we moved his 10 day class to next session. So Hayley starts next week, and Will and Garrett will go at two different times starting on the 19th.

We're hoping to have the house on the market early next week. I have been working like crazy...I'll be happy when it's DONE! It's never ending around here.

Tomorrow is our 3rd anniversary - mom volunteered to babysit while we go to dinner. I'm thinking hibachi or something fun and different like that. :-)

Jesus Love Me

William learned a new song. :-)
