We miss summer

We sure do miss summer around here.  It went from nice weather to COLD almost instantly.

 

Sorry for the lack of blogging.  Life hasnt slowed down at all since we moved in.  House is still noway near where we want it to be as far as decorating and such but we will get there......

 

Here's some fast updates:

 

Aiden turned 5!  This year we were able to have his party at our new house!  He wanted a firetruck theme.

 

Went to Chuck E Cheese and Aiden hit some jackpots...I mean really?!  A 5 year old?

 

Tickets are just spewing out right now...not even an exaggeration LOL

 

Made a new wreath for the front door

 

Scrapbooked some

 

Grass grew!!!!

 

Aiden got a new playground and hes been in heaven!

 

 

I promise it wont be so long before I blog again!

I'm back!!

Hello everyone

(any readers left?! LOL)

 

Hopefully some of you check back now that the house is done, were still working on some boxes (photos and old baby items and junk).  But we are able to breathe and are getting things done.  I will be posting some house pics soon but for now I'll just share our mini vacation pictures later.

 

Here is what has happened since I last posted:

• Our well water is great now.  No more smelly water or iron.  Wasn't cheap to get there but I absolutely love drinking our water now and I never thought I would say that LOL
• We got satellite tv and Internet back.  Internet took awhile but we got it and its great!
• We just purchased some storage items for the basement and garage so hopefully that will start to look better.  We were at a standstill till we got storage items.
• Scrapbook room is finished!!!

We still do not have new furniture or even a dining room table but I am being Miss Picky and I still cannot find something.  I know what I want but I cant find it LOL.

 

We love the house.  I love being here and it defiantly feels like home more and more each day.  Aiden starts his new preschool on Wednesday so I am praying that goes well and he enjoys it.

 

We also took a mini vacation over a weekend not too long ago.  Aiden has been begging to go to the beach and he just didn't get that it took a long time to get there. 

 

So Brent surprised us and booked us a room in St. Joe Michigan.

I swear if you had blind folded me and just showed me the lake I would have thought it was an ocean. It was wonderful!

 

I cannot believe summer is almost over...here is a quick recap.

 

Closed in June 2013 on our new home

 

 

Moving day

 

Amy & Aiden dancing in the truck because we were FINALLY done!

 

Someone hit my car while we were at the mall.  Aiden loved seeing the 2 cops and getting toys from them LOL

 

Watched Aidens first movie in a theatre.  Monsters University

 

Scentsy family reunion

 

Private Kelly Clarkson concert for us.  We had such great seats!!

 

Scent Warriors.  My Scentsy team I belong to

Many trips to swimming lessons and swimming

 

Scentsy freebies and orders.  I love Scentsy!!

 

Fun with our families

 

St. Joe Michigan trip

 

 

 

He was so dirty at the end of the night.  I swear I still have sand in my washer

 

Playgrounds right along the lake

 

We did a dune ride and it was SO MUCH FUN!!  The best thing we did on the trip.

 

 

Ended the trip with a stop at the candy store.

 

We have had such a wonderful summer!



Sticker Crazy!!

Hello!

 

I feel like my photos are getting less and less since we are almost there!  Then it will be taking photos of the decorating and diy projects we want to do once we are settled in and get a savings going again LOL.

 

Yesterday we took Aiden to his pediatrician and it turns out he has a sinus infection so we got him some medicine.  I also had a dentist apt in the same city so we just hung around in time for my cleaning. 

 

After dinner out we drove by the house and were excited to see they came back and finished the rough grade.  It is so much smoother now and we really need to get some grass seed going.

Rough grade was finished yesterday.  Time for some grass seed!

 

I just love how excited Aiden is to be living here at the new home!

 

We can walk on the concrete, just not drive.  We were so excited to walk on it!

 

I might have went a little "red dot sticker crazy".  You put these on items you want fixed or addressed.  I always have the problem if I am being too picky?!  So when in doubt...mark it and if they fix it great........

 

We were so sad to see the baby ducks were hatched and gone just like that from our rental.  We have been looking and watching for weeks now and now shes gone just like that LOL.

 

Today the owner of the company that is building our home is walking through.  He goes to every home they build.  Then we are waiting on the county to walk through and inspect it.  So this week is pretty much over in terms or work and changes. 

 

Then its just finishing up the small minor things we red dotted and the things our construction manager found and then closing on the home.

 

Well I need to get ready, Aiden's first swim lesson is today!
