On the road again...

We have been so busy lately... packing, moving, unpacking, and now getting ready to go on a road trip! We are going to Baton Rouge to visit family. My mom and I are taking my kids and Sammy! Jacob has to work, so he can't join us. (I know he's sad to miss an 8 hour road trip with three kids! ha ha)

My Aunt Amy is getting married this weekend, so we are going to celebrate with her and Maurice & the rest of the family. It will be great to see everyone.

The unpacking project is comming along pretty well. I'm down to less than 10 boxes to unpack, and they are all small. One's a shoebox, does that even count? They are all in my bedroom, so the rest of the house looks good. We have even gotten some pictures hung up. I will take pictures soon!

Long weekend

What is everyone up to this long weekend? I am officially tired of unpacking. At first, it was fun, getting everything organized and finding some stuff that had been in storage that I had totally forgotten about. But, now I am at the point of wanting to throw everything in a closet and shut the door. So, instead, I've been shopping and crafting and playing on the computer. I should really get to work... Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Sarah's New Trick

Here is Sarah showing off her newest trick. She is very proud of herself. The sound might be a little off but you'll get the idea. And of course, Adam has to show you how he can do it too. :)

Thankful Thursday


I am so thankful that my awesome husband has passed the first three tests he has to take for his new job. He has been in training this week and he had to learn how to climb a telephone pole. They had to do it a very specific way & do certain steps. He had to go up 6 feet and do the steps, then 12 feet, and today 18 feet! He's been nervous but he did it! YAY! I'm so proud of him. He has two other tests this week, but he is happy to have the pole climbing portion completed!

Breakfast for dinner

pancakes
Do ya love it? I do, every once in a while. We are having "clean out the freezer/pantry" week before we move. Yum, huh? Anyone want to come over for dinner? I'm just not a leftovers girl, but I'm trying to be this week. Anyway, tonight we had breakfast for dinner- chocolate chip pancakes, eggs & bacon. It was good, even Sarah got to try some.

Happy Monday

We are home from school today. We stayed home because Sarah wasn't feeling good. But, now that we are home, I think Adam is feeling worse than she is. That's no fun.

I hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day. This was the first time that my kids have been in preschool around Mother's Day. So, they both made me a little gift. They both made me a flower pot with their handprints. (Aren't Sarah's teachers brave!) Adam also made me a framed picture of his "prints" with a little verse about handprints. It was sweet and I know I'm a dork but I almost cried when they gave them to me. Jacob and Adam washed my car and got me flowers.

We are getting ready to move next weekend! Yay! I still have lots of packing to do! I guess I should use this nap-time to be productive! Have a good day!
