FALLing Behind

Moving has completely and utterly had be beat! That and Company a week after moving in, Drew having Surgery the following week, and Life being just so darn Busy... I haven't had a second to spare! So, A Run Down of Our Fall is what you're gonna get here! Speaking of FALL... Ohhh how I LOVE it!

I mentioned Company...

 My Best Friend Julie, came to Visit with her little ones, Aden & Abby! What a Amazing time we had! A Couple of Trips to the Pumpkin Patch...  Late night Chats Every Night.. and Helping us get settled summs up what we did!  You know someones you True friend when she comes to Visit when you have lived in a home for 7 days... and helps out in every way possible her entire stay!

As Soon As She Left, my mother came.. to be with us after the Surgery!  So house projects were put aside for a while... But Now we are in Fix/Decorate Re/Do mode!! I clearly stated in my last post HOW Not So happy I was about the smaller home... AND I'D Like to take that back! We (including myself) are LOVING it here! My boys spend Every second of the Day OUT SIDE! They are in heaven here! And the smaller home doesn't seem too bad after all! It actually feels more Homey than anywhere we have ever lived! I LOVE IT!  But I do have a LOT of work still to do!

Just one of our (MY) projects :) Yikes!! I'm a Jack of all Traits I'm learning! Jess has been working non stop... and I am taking on chores, like a champ! I'll show my progress  Soon!  

Mixed Emotions

                                                                 WE ARE MOVING! 


 For some time now we have had our eyes peeled for a cozy little spot in the country! I have mentioned it before, that I want nothing more than a home where my boys can run free, and play like the wild little Indians that they are! We Love our 4 bedroom home in town, and have lots of memories here.. some better than others!  BUT Be careful what you wish for... I guess, I should have told Jess more specific Guidelines! BIG PROPERTY AND BIG HOME ;) Sure the property is BIG... but we are downsizing our home for the land!  So you'll find this little bunch out where the blacktop ends, just at the edge of the darling little town of Sutter! We move in this weekend! Jess is IN LOVE, and so are the boys... ME NOT SO MUCH! But, I'll be ok at the end of the day seeing my boys all so happy!  I am happy with the location, and the land BUT now I feel like saying I take it back... I really LOVE my home, and my neighbors, and the Starbucks around the corner, and am not really all that jazzed about giving up a few hundred square feet!

I'll have to get rid of SO many pieces of furniture that just won't fit in the new place! A plus to this whole new house deal is DECORATING it (and a lot less to clean)! And I have slightly forgot about my sadness with this little tool, in which I have become obsessed with... Pinterest!  I'll keep you updated on the transformation of making our little 3 bedroom house a home! I'm sure I'll LOVE it soon enough!

Tonight we bought tile at Lows, as well as 2 fans, EACH FOR $9.60 That's RIGHT! 90% off! Last week I bought our fridge for 2 inches too wide :( Even the fridge slot is small!!! Anyone want to trade fridges?? HAHA! Hope all of you friends who have talked me into this Giving in to the boys, will be sports and travel out and visit me!  FREE PONY RIDES to all who come!!!!

 Good Night... Off to Pack!

My Appoligies...

To the men in the Barber Shop the other Day!! I'm sorry! So much for Man Talk, ESPN, Playboys, and chatting about football.. instead you all got an earful of this little man! Nothing like a mom with a camera, a couple of kids (one screaming at that) invading the Barber Shop!

It was only horrific for a few minutes! A few Snot bubbles later he chilled out, and made it a LOT easier for Barber Wes to complete the 1st Cut! Next time we should be good to go!

This was my sweetie BEFORE he knew what he was in for!

Napa with the Girls

My Two Dearest Friends Julie and Rachel have Birthdays in early September! A Couple of weeks ago, we headed to Napa together, for a little Birthday Celebration / mommy Getaway (we are all three mothers to two children each) and it was to say the least IT WAS FANTASTIC! These Girls are the Very Best, and sharing the Day with them in lovey Napa was such a treat! Julie lives in Utah, so I usually get to see her about once a year, this year is the exception... Shes coming right back for my Birthday in November!!

Labor Day Weekend at the Lake

We Spent our Labor Day at Lake Almanor! We were Lucky enough to have some great family friends offer their amazing lakeside cabin to our family and some fun friends! We Had a wonderful relaxing weekend! Now back to the real world.... It was fun while it lasted!!

A Couple

We have a couple of weeks of Kindergarten under our belt now! Wheew, this last couple of weeks have my head spinning! I'm pretty sure that's why I haven't had a second to sit and blog for a while.... We are finally getting into the swing of things with this whole new routine, but to top it off we've had out of  town weddings two weekends in a row! And now we have Vacations planned for two weeks in a Row! Yikes! We are packing in as much Summer Fun as we can while it lasts! Last weekend myslef and My Two Best Friends (one in from Utah)  went to Napa, that was FABULOUS! And this weekend we are changing it up from the usual Nicholas Labor Day Parade, and Heading to Lake Almanor with a couple of our Friends and their kiddos! It should be Wonderful!
