We are currently waiting to close on a house by June 28th and once thats done, I will post pictures of it. I just dont want to jinx it right now :) The house is in a great area- with great schools, access to a splash park, a regular park, mountains half a block away, and a jogging trail around the community. We will know 2 different families when we move- one was in my branch back in NM (Hi Tammy!) when I was in HS and the other is a grown daughter of a family in our current ward. The house has plenty of room to grow into, instead of out of (like our current abode) and we are very excited for our kids to have a backyard they can play in! I am hopeful Reagan's fascination with rocks will diminish when she gets used to grass-seeing as she has doesnt have access to grass on a daily basis.
The previous owners of "our" house took the kitchen cabinets, countertops, sink and all appliances with them. They also took some light fixtures and ALL the cabinets and sinks from the 3 (count em- 3) bathrooms. So we are having a contractor come in after we close and design our dream kitchen for us (well, within reason- I dont want to pay interest on small things we can do later since Jeremy is pretty handy). We are excited to go pick out countertops and cabinets and sinks and fixtures for all the rooms that currently lack sinks and the cabinets that hold up those sinks.
Among other news- we are starting to slowly pack and go through things while I have time (2 month until we move) and I know it will take double the time now since I have 2 kids who want to "help" and I didnt have that the last time we moved. We will be having guests come this summer from Jeremys side (brother and fam and his mom) and maybe even Aubs (my sis) after we move :). I am still waiting for my bathroom to finish being fixed..its so close but I guess I did say that I will be happy as long as its done before July...3 weeks and counting...keep you posted.
As for kids news: Hunter is no longer on the weight charts-skinny boy! He will need to gain some weight by October-wish us luck since he is so finicky and likes things one day then decides he doesnt the next...sigh. He is talking up a storm and LOVES to read! He requests the "Olivia" books at bedtime- I love her too so its not a problem. He loves to swim (even though we dont do it very often) and loves the park and visiting his friends. He loves nursery at church and usually after sacrament is done he thinks it's time to go.
Reagan is quite the funny lady! She is starting to bob her head to music and wiggle her body- too cute! Her hair is out of control and she will not sit still long enough for me to do anything with it, usually...but it is getting long enough to do pigtails and they are ADORABLE- will try to get a picture of it soon. She has a few words including: mama, dada, down, hello (lello), ow, mmmmoo (for cow) and knows the signs for please, more and thank you (but she rarely uses thank you-little turkey!). She is almost running and loves to climb everything! She has fallen off our kitchen chair once, as well as the stool in the bathroom (not a huge deal if we had carpet anywhere but the bedrooms). She LOVES playing in the dogs food and water bowls and is starting to get put in timeout- and knows what happens when we get to 3...She is great at sharing with her brother, he is still a little too dramatic for my liking when she looks at his toys...
We sure do love them and they are really fun and keep me busy! Enjoy some random pictures from the past month-ish and a picture of the front of our soon to be new house...
