I Lied

SO.... I know I promised pictures last week. However, our internet connection must be too slow or something. We went through Suddenlink and it's just been horrible so far, as far as loading pictures is concerned. We might have to switch over to Verizon or something because I really need to update this thing. Anyway, I'll keep trying! Feel free to come see it in person too... I'm always up for playdates! :)

The move was....

... let's just say I've had more zits the last couple of weeks than I've ever had in my life. Put together.
I guess it doesn't help the fact that I waited to pack up my kitchen the day of and the day after. I still don't have everything out of my old fridge. I just couldn't bring myself to face it.
Otherwise, things are going great! We don't get our internet hooked up until Friday, so I don't have any pictures to post at the moment (I'm on Joe's work computer). But, check back on Friday evening. You can be sure that there will be some pictures posted. :)
Glad to be back in the blogging world. I missed it.
Kim, I don't know how you stayed off for a week.... it's driving me crazy!

MOM! MOM! STUCK!

Now, ya have to ask yourselves....
1) Why is there an Easter bucket laying around the house?
2) How in the world did she get that over her arm? and
3) What kind of mom makes her daughter stand still, on the verge of a meltdown, while she takes pictures?

MOVING DAY

UGH..... that's how I feel about that!

As if moving everything in your entire house to a different location isn't hard enough.... last Sunday, Joe was at work on Snoqualmie Pass and stepped wrong while they were surveying up on the mountain. BAM! Just like that... he can barely pick Connor up anymore... Somehow the way he stepped completely screwed up his back. AND... Connor, Haylie and I are all sick with sinus colds and coughs. YUCK!

SO!!!

Not only do we have to move... we have to move without Joe. I'm thinking a LOT of my stuff is going to get ruined, scratched, etc. Never assume.... I know, I know. Luckily, my mom (the saint that she is :) is bringing us dinner on Saturday night AND hiring a couple of my brother's buddies to come and help us unload on Saturday. Hopefully we can get the majority of our stuff packed up in the truck on Friday night. Joe's co-worker Julia called today and is sending a bunch of guys over to help us load the truck, so that was a nice surprise! I was starting to get a little nervous... but things are working out. I didn't know how stressed I hung up the phone and started bawling. It's ok... I'm good. :)

OFFICIALLY (almost) HOMEOWNERS!

YAY!!! We close on our house in 1 week!!!! I'm so EXCITED!!! We've been shopping around for paint and I just can't decide what colors to go with in the big living room or the kitchen... The rooms aren't really divided in any way, so the way they have it painted right now is kinda' funky. If anyone would like to see the house, just go to chapmanlampson.com... click on Search for Homes... scroll down and in the MLS box, type in 152385 and it should be there. OF COURSE, I'll be taking before and after pictures... :) Anyway, any ideas or input would be welcome!!!

OLYMPICS... Here we come!!!

She's so modest.

Haylie just loves her gymnastics class. She goes every Friday, and is very coordinated. She LOVES her teacher Davina. We have seen Davina a couple of times, at Costco and Target, and Haylie thinks that she is so cool. I should have taken a picture of Haylie and Davina, but of course I didn't think about it.

Halloween!!!

This is the little white pumpkin Haylie picked out at the pumpkin patch. She was very adamant about doing it herself!

Connor gutting the pumpkin!

(Actually, he was spooning the guts back into the pumpkin...)
Joe's work of art! :)

Haylie with a wad of taffy in her mouth saying cheese. Connor's dragon costume did have pants, but he refused to put them on, so he was only part dragon. And of course Haylie's halo was already broken by the time Halloween came.

I just love this picture... Connor is obsessed with suckers (he calls them pickles) and necklaces (ness). He looks like such a little girl with his huge eyes and long eyelashes.
