Tuesday August 23

What an exciting day!!!
It has been a full one, that is for sure!!!
Let me start with the most exciting..................
We got a call this morning saying we had an offer on our house.
The first people to come and see it....and they loved it!
We are so excited!
We had a couple showing for the house set for today....and we hadn't made a counter offer at that point, so we pretty much left the house for the rest of the day so the people could come and go.
That leads to the second exciting thing today.
Brent has an awesome generator that he has been trying to sell for a long time.
But could ever sell it.
Well, he found a guy selling a 4 wheeler who was willing to trade it for his generator.
So exciting!!!!
I have two VERY happy boys :)




It will be perfect to have out at the new place....there is a lot of ground that needs to be covered for working :)
*****
Next exciting thing....we headed out to the house and checked things out more.
Again, it is so beautiful out there.
I can't wait to get out there and get started on making it our own!!!
Then we dropped some papers off at the new school so we could get the girls transferred.
That was great.
It seems like a great school with a very family friendly, small town, country kind of feel.
I love it.
The kids got assigned to teachers, and Madi's was there getting her class ready so we got to meet her.
Madi was beaming ear to ear.
She is so excited!
Cassi is excited to....we got to check out her classroom.
I think this transition will be pretty smooth for them.
We went and checked out the playground.....it is in such a beautiful spot....it looks over the valley and it is just so pretty.
The girls will love it there.
It is a pretty small school too....especially compared to Paramount!
We are excited about it all!
*****
Then we went and did some grocery shopping....
And met back home so we could go swimming with the Young's.
We are excited to get back to more of that....for a little while anyway, until the pool closes!
But mostly I mean, more down time.
We have been so GO GO GO....that we are pretty exhausted now!
*****
We put in a counter offer...and the people accepted....and so we are moving forward!
We are just hoping and praying that everything goes smoothly, and that we can get the ball rolling faster on the other place!
*****
And just for fun...this boy cracks me up ALL THE TIME!
I think he makes the best faces, and is developing quite the funny little personality.
 I love it.


He enjoyed himself some watermelon....lots of watermelon this evening...


And when he was done...he said
"I all done."
And propped his feet up on the table.
Love him.

Thanks again for the quick swim. I am glad you were able to schedule us in for a little fun. I am amazed your house sold in one day, but it is a great house, and the decor is perfect and inviting.
Porter is a hoot!
