Finally posting pictures

New house with lots of projects.... here are some pictures finally. One of the zoo and one of kyras 9th birthday too. Not having the net at home makes it harder to post. I am posting at safeway parking lot with free wireless:) Miss you all and hope to see people when they are heading through town:)

Moving in and Fixing up

So we are in our new home now and have worked 10 12hr days and are starting to get things ready to move in now. Our new home is a bit of a fixer upper unlike the other homes we have bought. But it is looking a lot better everyday. I hope to have some pictures in the future-right now i am still lucky to get a shower once in awhile. We had to stay at a hotel for a week so we are glad to be out of there.

So we have, tiled, new heat ducting, replaced water heater, replaced doors, lights indoor and out, put tons of trim up with paint, closet doors , gutted bathrooms and redone, finished a lot of grouting, redone gas, new appliances, and much more. So we have been busy and with the tons of help from my parents- we would be really deep in it still if it werent for them. We are still all alive and well though still, we hope to unpack some of our things this week. We are planning on putting our fence up this week too though:0 We miss all our friends in NM and hope all is well. Sorry I havent kept you posted till now. XOXOX

Girls singing recital

The girls had their singing recital tonight, mckenzie and Addyson had fun watching and cheering them on. It was very cute. The girls sure did know there songs good- very fun songs. Since we do part regular school they get to do these fun school stuff along with the homeschool. When we move they are going to see what regular school is like. I think that they will have a lot of fun. They are such fun girls I think that they will miss each other not being with each other the whole day. It is cool to see sisters who are such good friends too. I hope that Addyson and Mckenzie have that too one day. Good job girls you did great!!!

Happy V-Day.

Happy valentines everyone. Our bags are packed and we are ready to move in two weeks- let the count down begin. We will miss all our friends here in NM but we will be sure to come visit when we come see the grandparents. Addyson is growing up so fast and is already running around chasing her older sisters. If there is ever a toothbrush in site she will have her hands on it--future dentist??. Mckenzie is counting down the days to be with her daddy again.

SOLD!! We are outta here!!!

Thank you everyone that has been keeping us in their prayers. We sold the house to a very nice couple and should close end of Feb. The girls and I will be moving on valentines!! Happy valentines to us!!! Yahoo, yahoo, yahoo. Thanks again everyone. I cant wait to be outta here and back with Jonathan- four kids on my own is more work then I bargained for. I feel like a million pounds have been lifted off my shoulders.

More pictures-we go to the Natural history science museum every xmas eve(pict from last set with grammy and papa) - it is a great calm xmas eve activity- the girls love it. These pictures are of us at the zoo

-another of our favorite places. Now karissa no longer has long hair, she cut it off a couple of days ago for locks of love- she said "I want to give my hair to the kids that are sick and dont have hair" She is so kind and loving.

Holidays

So holidays were great. Grammy and papa came to visit, plus dad was home for two weeks. Our good friends the Betts came for four fun filled days too. The girls enjoyed tearing threw the presents and spending a relaxing day playing. No we did not get our christmas wish of selling the house, but we did have a lot of people come look which is good. I got a down comforter which is so nice and warm and jonathan got a new tool set(which I desperatly needed:)) We are praying that we will have an offer on the house this month and be out with the wind. Addy learned the word "cheese" & "cup" over the holidays too. I have some great photos that i will post later tonight. Happy New Year!!! Its gunna be a good one.
