Catch up

These are pictures from my phone.  I wish I could post them all but, I don't have time!!  We have been SO busy.  Some pictures are out of order.... Sorry about that.  Two days after our house went on the market, we got an offer!  I couldn't believe it!  That's just more proof that the Lord wanted us to sale it.   Since then we have found a home in Lindale.  We close on our current home in ONE week.  I can't believe how fast things are going.  I have been packing like crazy.  I hope to do a better job of keeping my blog up once we get settled.  

I finally had Kalli's picture framed.  I love it!

The day our house went on the market!

I love catching sweet moments like this

This is the day we found our NEW home!

Moving on

I've always been sentimental about different things and our house is certainly no exception.  We bought our house in October of 2007 with no flooring or appliances and was in need of some TLC.  It had been vacant for a few years and the current owner was slowly renovating it.  We thought it would be fun to finish the renovations ourselves.  We almost didn't get the loan for the house because it had no appliances or flooring.  Our amazing realtor suggested painting the floors.  So the night before they were to take pictures for loan approval we, along with our realtor, her husband, and some of our wonderful friends spent hours painting the floors.  It ended up being such a fun night and we will never forget those that helped.  We didn't even ask for their help...they volunteered!!!  

This house will always be special to us.  This was our girls' first home.  We've had so many great memories in this house and will miss it terribly.  But we are ready for change.  We've prayed for at least a year about selling and we feel like the Lord is telling us now is the time.  We have no idea if we are going to build or buy next.  It's scary not  knowing what we will do but, we know the Lord is in control and we can not wait to see what is next for our family.

Our last few days..

Saturday, Lex kept the girls so me and a friend could for to Canton for a kid free day of shopping.   I absolutely love spending every day with my girls, but sometimes having a break is nice. 
It was a gorgeous day to be walking around outside.  We grabbed lunch and people watched for a while. 

Sunday was my Mom's birthday.  It was such a pretty day too!!  We had lunch and cake after church that morning.  We had a blast, as usual!

Monday I watched Levi so his Mom could take Brody to the Doctor.  They had so much fun playing. 
After Brody's appointment we took them all to Chick-fil-a.  While there we ran in to Madeline and her mom and another little family we know.  Great minds think alike!!

When we got home, Kalli napped while Kagen and I went outside so I could mow.  I think that might have been a bad idea for Kagen because her allergies got really bad that night.  She ended up in our bed.  She was feeling pretty yucky. 

She woke up Tuesday morning feeling fine but she did have a cough that I wanted to watch so I kept her home from school.  We ran to Target to get a couple things we needed then came home to clean and play.

She wore this skirt most of the afternoon.  She was so funny!

Today I'm watching Levi again.  Kagen was SO excited to have him over again.  I like it because I can get things done and they keep each other preoccupied.  Ha!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!

Behind!

I am so behind on my blog.  These last couple of months have been crazy.   We've had birthday parties and baby showers every weekend.     Lex has also been working on side jobs when he gets off work. I've felt like a single mom some days.  Phew!!
I was going to try and post pictures but I honestly don't have time.  I promise to get better now that things are calm for the time being.


Although most of you know....
We're in the process of getting our house ready to sell.  I'm so excited about it.  We plan to move back to Lindale.  We've prayed and prayed and prayed for the Lord to show us where He wants us to live or if He even wanted us to move.  It's such an awesome feeling when you let go and let the Lord take control. 

I'm looking forward to the changes to come!

Wedding dress

I saw this idea on Pinterest.   Kagen loved wearing my wedding dress.  She kept saying she was a princess.  It was so fun taking these pictures.  I can't wait to do the same thing with Kalli.

Recap of our week

Last week was a pretty busy one.  We enjoyed it though!


Monday was a pretty day so we met up with some friends at the park. When we got home I put Kalli down for a nap while Kagen and I hung out outside.

Tuesday Kagen had a meltdown about the outfit I put her in. There were even real tears. We picked it out the night before but I guess she changed her mind. So she chose a different one and we hurried off to school.

Kalli and I spent some time playing while Kagen was at school.
When I picked Kagen up we went to the store to get some veggies for her and Kalli. She had fun picking them out.

We spent Wednesday at home and it was nice. Kagen is starting to play with Kalli more and more. She loves her! And I love watching them together.

Thursday I took Kalli to the Doctor because she had been pretty fussy for a few days. That morning she was fussier than she had been. I really thought it was teething but I wanted to make sure it wasn't her ears. Sure enough-she has her first ear infection. Thankfully it's not a bad one.


That night I met up with a couple of my sweet friends. Courtney wanted us to get together and I needed a night out, so it was perfect!

Friday we met up with Crystal and Madeline at Jumpin Jacks. This was a our first time there and the girls loved it!! Kagen wasn't too sure about it at first, but then she warmed up. After that we went to Chick-fil-a and the girls had a blast playing in the playground.

That night my parents came over to watch the girls so Lex and I could have a date night.  It was so nice.  We went to dinner and did a little shopping before grabbing some frozen yogurt.  I love spending time with him!!

The girls got these outfit for Christmas.  They looked so cute in them!

Saturday we went to Kate's birthday party. There were a ton of kids and they all had so much fun.

After the party we came home for naps and then went to run some errands.
When we got back home Lex mowed and Kagen decided she needed to help. She looked so cute out there with her Daddy.

This picture is hilarious!  Kagen and Kate were fighting over who could hold Kalli. 

And finally, today.  We went to church and then lunch at my parent's house.  When we got home we tried to get the girls to take their naps, but Kalli was the only one who did. Lex and I went outside to re paint a table for Kagen.  She wanted to come out there with us so I told her to get dressed.  She came out with just a jacket and shoes on.  Then she pretended to be a turtle with the laundry basket.

 
Never a dull moment.
