Who does this look like?

Just one more quick post.

I want to know who this girl looks like,

then I will tell you the story behind it!

Holloween

Blake as Tin man

Wicked Witch

Cute Dorthy

The Trio

Just a cute picture of Carly, I had to throw in !

Every year my kids dress up as a theme, last year it was Star Wars, we've also done Charlie Brown and Lucy, Peter pan and Tinkerbell. Now that Carly is here we had to figure out something that could do at least 3 people. We decided to do The Wizard of Oz. Alexus was The Wicked Witch,Blake - Tin man and Carly - Dorthy. They had great time. Carly even said trick treat, so cute! I know that they like dressing together, because they are already trying to figure out what they are going to do for next year. I know that they won't want to do this every year, so I better do till I can! Does anyone have some good ideas for next year?

House is DONE!!!!

Our house

The kitchen

Family room

staircase from the front room

Our view off the front deck!

(that will change once more houses are built)

The house was done at the beginning of Oct. It sat till the 16th so we could do our first walk through. Then we walked through again on the 23rd and we got the keys that day! On Thursday we had movers unload the storage unit and move it all into the house. That was definitely the way to go. Stand around and point where you want things to go. Carly was really excited when she saw all of our stuff, it was like she knew that we were HOME. We've been here now for almost three weeks. Life is still crazy, but we are getting there. All but 2 boxes are unpacked, cars are in the garage. Now we are just trying to figure out where we want everything. I really enjoy not having to drive to get the kids. The BUS is heaven. The next thing to do is paint, we know all the color, but we have to buy it, and do it!

Carly's 1st Birthday

opening dress from grandma & grandpa

fishing puzzle, I love it!

Cabbage patch, now I don't have to steal my sisters!

She put the candle out with her fingers!

This was soooooooooooooooo yummy! I like cake.

My little baby is 1. I'm so sad! I know that we are having no more babies, and to see her growing up so fast make me want to cry. She still is the happiest thing in the world. Always smiling and ready to play. We didn't do anything big for her birthday, we were living with my parents and there was NO ROOM! She open just a couple of presents and then had cake, she loved it. 1 year check up, 28lbs and almost 33 inches! 1oo % for both. She is in clothes Alexus wore at 27months, when Blake was born!

Alexus' 8th Birthday

So I know that I needed to catch up. Between the house selling and moving Alexus turned 8. Wow time goes by so fast. We had a little party at C & C. (my house was a mess) Then later that day we had family over. She is getting tall and so mature, most of the time. She is still mt little drama queen! Loves to read and draw. She still loves dance and is always getting better!

Roller Coaster

(My life)

The last week has been a rOlLeR cOaStEr!!! The house almost didn't sell. The silly man tried to tell us that he was short $2000. He told us that a week before we were to close. So Chuck and I got to be stressed all week. Finally on Weds. they said that they could do it, but we did not believe it. They called us once everything was signed. The next six weeks will be crazy!

SOLD!!!

Well the house sold and looks like we will have to be out of the house by the end of the month at the latest. This has been a little overwhelming, but I'm happy that it is done. We dealt with these people for a week and a half before we agreed on the price and everything. Lets just but it this way they LOW BALLED us big time at first, but in the end everything will be fine.

We have been packing and trying to sell things. Chuck sold his furniture speakers, for those of you that have seen them you know what I'm talking about. We are trying to sell his old Merc too. This makes him a little sad, and I told not to if he doesn't want to , but he is going too. I promised him that he can get something different in a couple of years.

We will be moving in with my parents, YES I KNOW I'M CRAZY, but they offered and this will save us at least 5, 000, with rent and everything. It could be anywhere from 5 - 8 weeks. I wouldn't do it if it was summer. Thanks goodness everyone will be in school. Last time I saw the house it had a roof and some pluming!! EXCITING

The last couple weeks Alexus and Blake have been on a baseball team. Alexus loves it and Blake is starting too. He just wants to play basketball, poor Blake.

Alexus' Birthday is in a week and half, and she will be 8! (cry, cry) I can't believe that she is that old. She is starting to look more mature, as she would put it. She'll be baptized on Sept. 29th, everyone will be here. She is really excited.

Blakey boy is happy to be starting school at the same as Alexus. I know that he will do great. He love to play with Carly. He gets her laughing like on one else.

Miss Carly is walking, well 5- 10 steps all the time. She's at the point that when she falls down she crawls to the wall or whatever to climb back up to walk again. What a GIRL. She has two new words uh oh, and ball. She also loves SUPER BABY.

Well that's all for now.

Glasses

Today Alexus went to the eye doctor. She has been telling me for months that she has headaches above her eyes. She also said that it was hard to see things that were really far away. I told her that it sounded like she might need glasses. She wasn't really happy about that, but I told her it would be fine, and that she would be really cute. So we went and sure enough, she needed them. She is near sighted. When she put her glasses on she was surprised how well she could see everything. She is her mother's daughter. She gets more like me all the time!

Salmon Creek School, here I come!

Last week was the last week of school and Blake graduated. He is no longer in pre-school he is in kindergardon. He is really excited. He will miss his teacher Kim, she was great. At graduation they sang a little song, The Busy Bee song, and each child said what they wanted to be when they go up. Blake said that he wanted to be a Doctor, looks like Chuck and I will be taken care of when we get old!!! Blake had to get shots so he can go to school, 3 of them yuck! He didn't even cry. (That's way better then I have ever done.) He took it like a man!
