Halloween 2011

With the stress of packing and moving and unpacking....I didn't put much thought or effort into Halloween....So the kids had to just pick from the costumes that we had on hand...So, Saige was an angel....Misha was a witch....
And Greyson was a bat...
Thank goodness we had some costumes on hand and that they fit.... :) Happy Halloween!!!

The Best thing about the new house is....

The Big Jetted Tub!!! The kids are in love with it...Rich and I kinda like it too... :) We moved in the last weekend of October and Rich had a gig so I was unpacking like a crazy woman all by my lonesome...It was exhausting....I was so worn out....My lovely sister in law Callee came and helped me clean...Glad it is over...

SOLD!

So after trying to sale our home for 1 year a couple of years ago we decided to take it off of the market and wait awhile. Well this time around we decided to try again and put it up for sale this fall, well, it sold after being on the market for only 6 days to the first person who came and looked at it. We are excited about our new adventures and about having a little more space...but it is also hard to leave because we put our blood, sweat, some morning sickness even, and tears into building this, our very first home...and after living in it for 7 years, you become emotionally attached...remembering bringing 2 babies home here and all of the other memories and holidays etc...We loved living in the good ol North Forty neighborhood!

Builder of the Month!

So this year at Discover Elementary they have a theme about filling each others buckets by doing and saying kind things. They talk about lifting each other up and being 'Builders' and each month they pick a couple kids from each class who have been noticed by the teacher for being builders...Well cute Misha was chosen to be a Builer of the Month and got her picture and a little award and they posted the kids who were chosen for the month in the hallway by the front office! So happy she is such a cute nice girl!

Misha's Abcessed tooth...

So, remember when Misha knocked out all of her teeth??? Well, they said to watch for any lumps above her teeth because after a trauma like that they could abcess.... Well it has been quite awhile since that happened but when we were going in for our bi-yearly cleanings I noticed she had a lump....and she ended up having to have it pulled....Poor girl....

Taylor Swift Concert 2011

For Saige's birthday this year we surprised her with concert tickets to Taylor Swift and we decided to do it as part of Misha's birthday as well since they both really love her music. So September finally came and we were all excited to go!!!When we got there we realized our seats were clear up at the top, Rich had let the computer pick best seats available when he bought the tickets and they ended up being not so great but it was still really fun to see her in concert and it was actually one of my favorite ones I have been to! It was so great listening to the girls sing along and be so excited to see her. Saige kept wishing she could just meet her in real life and about lost her voice from all the screaming. It was a great night!
