Finally!!!

I'm sure most of you know by now, but we have finally sold our house! I am still pretty nervous about it since the last time we sold our home the buyers backed out 3 weeks into the contract! But, I feel really good about it and hope all goes well. We've already had the inspector come through and the appraiser comes through today. And, the buyers realtor asked my dad if we would be willing to close earlier - which is a good sign! And, we are putting an offer on a home today - so cross your fingers that that goes well too!
Anyways, it is definitely time for us to move on. I am really excited to get into a new home that is more compatible for our family :) And, I love the area that we are looking at - it seems just perfect for our little family!
Anyways, I will keep you all posted on anything new!

Professional Photographer - NOT!!

Here is my attempt at taking Myles' picture in his blessing outfit - and I'm sure you can tell why I asked Nicole to take some "real" ones for me???

And, no, this is not a backwards picture. Myles had completely turned himself around - twice! And, he's almost ready to roll over - just about there! Tomorrow he will be 4 months so if I have time, I'll post more pictures! Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMI!! (tomorrow)

Thank Goodness (Spring Break is Over!!)

Don't get me wrong - it's been great not having to work this past week. But, I am ready for the kids to get back to school. When they are with each other too much, they just don't get along! And, I don't know how to make them...
Anyways, it's been a long week. Last Friday I took Bree to the Hannah Montana Movie, and we both enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised by it - it had a very good story and message!

Bree in her Hannah attire - going to the movie!

Then the family went camping Monday and Tuesday - sans Myles and me. Hooray!! We had fun just the two of us. I was able to go to dinner on Monday with my BF Kristina! It was so great that we decided to do lunch the next day too :) Here are some cute pictures I took of Myles.
This was just a funny picture of Myles sleeping!

My happy little boy (it must be the AMAZING pjs)

The kids got home Tuesday and Dusty went back to work on Wednesday - and, Wednesday was a good day! I don't want to jinx anything, so I won't comment on why. But, keep us in your prayers because if it doesn't go through, I will have a VERY hard time with it!!

Moving on - Thursday Kristina and I went to a movie. I had so much fun with her this week. I have missed her a ton this year - it has been super busy for both of us. Hopefully we'll have more time in the summer to get together. Well, that night the kids had a sleep over at Grandma Rupp's house - which they LOVE to do!!
Well, here's the best part of the entire week - yesterday I saw Wicked with my good friends Michelle and Becky. It was AMAZING. I have been a fan for so long and have wanted to see it forever! November of 2007 I was supposed to go - had tickets and all. But, we were in New York during the writers strike and you can guess the rest... Well, it was definitely worth the wait! I had so much fun! And, it was great catching up with my great friend Michelle as well - I have missed her... :)

So, that sums up our spring break. Definitely time to be done... :)

Easter Activities

We sure had a lot going on this past weekend for Easter - but, the kids had fun and scored A LOT of candy!! Saturday afternoon we went to Dusty's parents home for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. The kids love getting eggs from Grandma Miller because she puts money in them :)

Then, that night we went over to our good friends the Cottle's house for dinner and coloring Easter eggs. We always love spending time with them!! Stephanie and I have grown up together, so I guess you could say we've known each other since we were babies :)
Easter morning the kids got their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny, and then we went to my mom and dads for dinner and another Easter egg hunt! The kids were excited because they each got $5 from Grandpa! My sister and her family were there and it was great spending time with them!
I hope everyone had a great Easter!

"Gushing Mother"

So, I realize most my posts lately are about Myles but in reality I haven't taken as many pictures of him as I did the other two - I guess that's normal after the 1st child...
Anyways, I have some cute pictures I just downloaded from my camera I thought I'd share. I just can't believe how big he's getting. I always think he's not growing fast enough, and they we go around our new nephew and I realize he's growing just fine!
Nothing else new going on in our lives - other than we've kindof fell off the face of the planet :) We don't seem to talk to anyone anymore - friends, neighbors, you name it. But, we are still alive and breathing in case anyone is wondering :)

this is just a cute picture of Myles!

Myles loves his bath time!

Myles with Daddy - too cute.

oh, here's Bree helping me make cheesecake - yummy!

this is so cute of him sleeping and holding his arm.
p.s. Jack is doing great too! He's just always at school when we seem to snap photos. Hopefully I'll get some great one's of him this Easter weekend and post them next week :)
