Happy Easter

The kids got packages from famiy members. Thanks Emmy for these pretty wrapped gifts!


The kids got baskets full of goodies and toys from the Easter Bunny and new scooters from mom and dad. They have been wanting these for a while, and really enjoy riding them.




Here's the kids all dressed for church on Easter Sunday!

Hoping To Move

We officially put our house on the market For Sale by Owner. It was a lot of work this weekend to get it ready.... a lot! We cleared out everything that we could do without for a month or two and cleaned every nook and cranny. Our poor kids don't have any toys to play with, and aren't allowed to hardly walk through the house. :) It was just time for more space. We have found a beautiful house with 4 bedrooms and a playroom. Its in a community with a swimming pool and a park, and its only a mile up the street. We have loved this house we are in now. It was the first one we bought, and it will always be special, but we hope it sells quickly. In this market, that may not be easy, but we thought we'd give it a try. Wish us luck... I don't think I can keep up with this level of cleaning for too long!!

Are We Old?

We picked up hamburgers from Braum's last night for dinner since we have been so busy working on the house. Sam was telling the kids how he use to get hamburgers from Sonic all the time when he was a kid, and Shaye said "they had Sonic back then!?" :-)

Where's the Toothfairy!

The day has finally arrived! Shaye has been hoping to lose a tooth since kindergarten, so she was thrilled when she finally had one come loose a few months ago. Every day she was ready to pull it, and I had to tell her it wasn't loose enough yet! Well, I was gone on Tuesday evening and Sam tied floss around it and gave it a pull. I know... ouch! But Shaye was okay with it. It was almost out, so Sam grabbed his pliers and finished the job! Shaye slept with her tooth under her pillow, and awoke to a dollar bill.
