I've had a stressful couple of weeks. We had our house appraised and were going through the process of refinancing when we found out that our neighbors may be moving. They live in our cul-de-sac in our dream house. Erik and I have always said that if that house ever goes up for sale that we would try to get it. It's bigger than ours, still a rambler, and has a 3 car garage. The family is in the military and should find out this week if they are moving. We put our refi on hold and are waiting to find out. While we've been waiting I've been cleaning out closets, scrubbing & am in the process of painting my bathroom (which is a nightmare). I'm just doing little things that needed to be done anyways, but that will make our house easier to get ready to sell if the opportunity comes up.
I've also been getting my stuff together for the boutique I'm doing this weekend. I have so much fabric and ideas, just not enough time. But I've got some cute things finished.
Then Erik & I are going out of town next week to Florida so I'm trying to get the house ready for babysitters and for the possibility that it may be up for sale. I'm excited and Erik & I need the break and the time together, but I am sad to leave my babies. We've never left them before, but I'm grateful to have family close by that will be helping us.
I've been wanting to do family pictures but have been waiting for some good weather and last night worked out for us and the photographer. I had seen some beautiful photos she had done at Antelope island so we headed out there. We don't have any pictures of all of us together, and we still may not after last night, but we tried. It was windy and our kids were not very cooperative, but they had fun digging in the sand and throwing mud balls.
I found these cute shirts for the boys a month or so ago and have spent the last month trying to find something for me to match. I should have found myself something first, preferably in black, because the kids look cute in everything. But hopefully we all look cute in a few of them, I'll post pictures when I get them. .
Earlier in the week Kire & I tie dyed some shirts for the boys and they turned out pretty cute.
Otherwise, nothing too exciting around here.

ahh! i feel you on the stress about the house. we have been shopping around looking to build, but trent doesn't have a job after graduation...so everything's on hold. post pics of the bathroom, are you painting the vanity??
HA HA HA Nothing too exciting?!? You make me laugh - that week would exhaust me. Good luck on the house ... however, I will hate to see them leave. Bitter-sweet I guess for ya. At least Kire and Austin would have less distance to walk to each others house.
Sounds crazy busy. Of course everything comes all at once! I hope you can get that house though, it will be so nice. I can't wait to see the pictures you took. I have been wanting to go to Antelope Island, I've never been! And have tons of fun in Florida, I'm jealous. It will be a blast though. And keep up on the running!
