House Hunting

Tuesday - December 30, 2008

Today we went and looked at more houses. One of my dear friends watched BN for us (she doesn't really enjoy looking at a lot of houses) and we cruised through them. We went to all the ones we were supposed to, and low and behold, none of them were quite what we wanted.  Clint remembered a house that we liked last time we looked so we dug the paper out of our pile and asked our realtor if we could go see it one more time. He humored us, and when we got there, we wondered why we had waited so long to come back. Needless to say, it is the house we are offering on. We are meeting with our agent tomorrow to sign papers. :) We are so excited.

Our New House???

Hopefully this will be our house soon. We will keep you updated. :)

Later!

Patience

I am slowly catching up on all that was missed this month. I am sorry I was a slacker! I will do better and in the meantime will be doing double duty to keep you updated with now, and what happened throughout dec. Please check back often. Thanks!

A very merry 'un-Christmas' to you! :)

Saturday - December 27 2008

Today I spent most of the day un-decorating our house. :) Then we took everything out to our storage unit. It was nice to have it all down. It really makes our already to small apartment TO SMALL! lol. Tomorrow is BN's last day as a sunbeam in primary. BC has been going to nursery. It has been nice to be able to go to class and actually pay attention, but I really miss having her with me. Well. Have a great day. Not much has been going on. Just cleaning and getting everything organized after Christmas and after lots of traveling. :)

Later!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas!

It has been a wonderful day. The girls were really funny. They didn't want to wake up. Even when I told BN that Santa had come, she just rolled over and pulled the blanket over her head and said 'i'm tired'!. LOL. I laughed and shook her again...same thing. Finally I grabbed her and pulled her up and she stood there like 'why?'...after all the morning rituals... (potty, etc...) I had clint get ready with the camcorder and we had the girls come in the living room where Santa had been. AHHHH!!!!! Screaming and running and things flying...lol...it was great! Santa didn't wrap his presents so they enjoyed and played. Well BN did. BC ran up to her pile and grabbed her new baby doll (first thing and closest) and then ran to Grandpa and climbed up in his lap and just snuggled in. LOL.

Soon most of the family had showed up for breakfast (we had favorite which is toasted bread and white sauce) really GOOD! Then we visited. When everyone had ventured back home, we continued opening all the presents that were under the tree (the wrapped ones) :)

The girls were spoiled and so were we.  My parents even were spoiled. :) lol. What a fun time.

Family Christmas

After enjoying the presents and each other we started getting everything ready to go. It took us a while to get everything packed, but we made it, had our big truck filled to the brim (truck shell and all) lol.

Our Family with Grandma and Grandpa

The road back wasn't to bad, we got back in about 3.5 hours. We were really blessed cause the roads were supposed to be awful. But we got home and got unpacked. We relaxed a little. Enjoyed everything. Clint had to get up and work at 5 in the morning so, we didn't stay up to late.

I went through all of our movies and updated our inventory. In the middle of it I had to go help BN with something and when I came back this is what was waiting for me:

Cat in the Movies - LOL

Hope you had a great Christmas Holiday.

Merry Christmas (Eve) :)

Today is CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

It has been such a fun day!

Bn and BC riding Grandmas Horse

This morning we got up and went to the firehouse to see Santa! We were the first ones there so we thus, didn't have to wait in line for hours while little kids screamed and ran away. But, after waiting for the hour or so we did (we actually helped setup and things so it went by fast) the kids all went through seeing Santa fairly fast. But it was ok. We Had fun still. BC didn't go cause it was so cold and she has an pneumonia so my dad stayed home to watch her.

BN & Santa

We went home and fiddled here and there doing things and relaxing. Then me and my dad and Clint all took off in my parents Polaris Ranger and we went and shot clints new handgun, and my 22 (that I got for our anniversary in 2006) and I had only shot once. lol. I did ok. I have to shoot on my left side...and I soon learned that my father does that too. How funny!

Dad

At around 6 or so we headed down to my bro John's and got ready for the traditions. Each family (mine, johns, and then my mom and dad) all got to make our own big pizza and put whatever we wanted on it.

Homemade Family Pizza

Mom and Dads Pizza - LOL Love the x-lg Santa hat!!!

While they were cooking me and my brother played around on the piano, and then he played while we sang some duets (most of which he wrote). After dinner, we all gathered around the tree (so to speak) and we read a story.

BC

Clint and BN

Then we let the kids open their Christmas eve present! Jammies of course.We found matching slippers for the girls too. How Cute! I got clint a pair of fleece bottoms with Mario Bros on them. And I got some with the words 'Dr. Pepper'. LOL.

BN Pajamas

anyways, When everyone was all changed we piled into two cars and drove around GR (which took about 20 mins to see ALL the lights in town) to see the Christmas Lights. It was so fun.

Then we went back to johns and decorated cookies for Santa. (unfortunately we left our plate at johns when we came home, so we just got some oreos from my parents cookie jar and used those for the cookies plate).

Christmas Cookies

LOL. But we got the girls to sleep (without much trouble) and waited for santa to come. :) (wink). Have a great Holiday!
