We're moving...

Which means that our home is FOR SALE! I have mixed feelings about leaving, but we've decided that moving closer to Nate's job is best for our family. I'm am going to miss seeing my parents, lil sis, grandparents and friends on the daily, and the kids are pretty bummed to leave their friends as well. I am going to miss this quiet little town, our cozy little house and our great big yard! But, I keep telling myself that Stg is not far so we can visit often. On the plus side, I will be closer to my other 2 sisters and their kids and we will gain so many more hours with Nate once that 3 hour daily commute is eliminated! That I am excited for! Before all of this moving can happen though, we must sell our house.

OUR HOUSE
It is a cozy 2 story house on a 1/2 acre lot. It is commercially zoned with a fully fenced yard with fruit trees and a detached 2 car garage. There are 2 bedrooms and a small office downstairs and 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, kitchen and laundry room upstairs. We've just recently had all of our old, wood frame single pane windows replaced with double pane, Jeld-Wen vinyl windows from Home Depot. We've also replaced our shingled roof with a tin roof. We are asking only $150,000! You really have to come and see it to appreciate it! So, spread the word!!
I am really sad to part with it :( We've lived in this house for close to 4 1/2 years. I just love the homey and comfortable feeling it has (if that even makes sence! haha) I've posted a few pictures of the outside below. We've got a really nice, big yard which is another thing that'll be hard to give up! Stg lots with yards like this don't come cheap, so we'll have to settle for less. A lot less, I'm afraid! Anyways, I will miss everyone once it's final but I will visit lots and expect the same!

Another birthday in the house!!

COLE IS 4!!
I went downstairs this morning to get some wrapping paper and seen that Cole was laying awake in his bed so I said "Morning bud, do you remember that it's your birthday today?" He looked at me with these big eyes and said, all serious like "What did you just say?"It was really cute and funny so I just had to laugh. He instantly got excited and rushed upstairs!

He couldn't wait to start coloring in the Batman book Kalyne gave him!

and he loved the singing Optimus Prime t-shirt! He showed it (and his muscles) off to everybody!

This is a classic "Cole face!" He was jammin' out to his singing shirt while checking out his Batman stickers!
His Grandma Hope brought over presents later that evening from her, Sheila and Uncle Mikey. One of the presents was this whole case of poppers! He absolutley LOVES these things, so he was stoked! I took this picture maybe like 30 minutes after he opened it, and you can see how many boxes are already missing out of the case!

Cole is having his bestest friend Kensten and his cousin Ashley sleep over tonight. Asha was out before the movie even started, tired girl, but the boys made it through the Power Puff Girls before they fell asleep! They are such cuties!


We also went to the park today for a picnic with Easton and Maddie. It was pretty hot and Emmie's getting teeth and wasn't too happy, so it didn't last long! The kids ended up playing at Leah's for a while and then came to my house to play for a bit too. They all had a lot of fun! We'll be having Cole's party tomorrow evening and Cole can't wait to take a swing at his Spiderman pinata!
