Our House

The process has been started!!!! After working really hard on the house the last 5-6 months we have begun the process to put it on the market. We had the realtor come on Thursday to take a look around (I don't think my house has ever been cleaner) and to give us an idea of what to list it for. We still have a few small projects to finish up, but the end is at least in site. We know the market is not great, but hope to have it sold by summer. I really only ask that we are out of this house by the time the baby in my belly is walking, our house is getting too small very very quickly. I was afraid after cleaning and decluttering my house that the realtor was going to tell me I needed to declutter a lot of things even though I already did. We really are in need of more space and our attic is full. We have starting the looking process and hope that if we do sell soon, that we will be able to get a good deal on another house.
As for the Christmas Spirit around our house. We put up our tree last weekend. The kids had fun decorating it and love to play with the stockings on the mantel. We have all been sick this past week, except for Jared. The boys are all coughing and I have been sick with the whole, achy, fever, chills, congestion, etc. I had to miss work on Sat b/c of it. I am trying so hard to save up my PTO for when this baby is born, being sick is not how I planned to use a day of it.
We hope to all be better by the end of the week.
Here is a picture of the boys by the tree:

I can not believe how big all your boys are getting. Time needs to slow down a bit!! Good luck on the house, I know first hand what you're going through. :-)

Good luck with the house sale. If you want a change of pace, you could always move to Vegas. We have some nice houses going for great deals right now.

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g
