We're on the move!





Well after months of trying we are finally committed to buying a house!!!! Provided that we can rent ours out first. I was really disappointed when the other house fell through, I just knew that there would never ever be another house and that I would be doomed to wait until it came back on the market if ever. Jaime on the otherhand, kept looking and showing me if he found something I might like. When he found this one I was skeptical, it was an older house '96 but when we looked at the pics I was impressed, 4 bed 2 1/2 bath lots of upgrades. I wasn't getting my hopes up because the price was so low, I figured it was either a short sale or there was something really wrong with it. We decided to go see it. I could totally see the potential, it needed a few things to make it what I really wanted. The best part was that the sellers were totally willing to accomidate, they are even helping us to get our current house rented out!!

We just need to rent our house out & then every thing will be final. I'm nervous and excited at the same time I'm not sure where to start, finding boxes, the packing, the posting, cleaning!?!?!?!If anyone knows where to find boxes or renters let me know!

Sum, Sum Summertime!

Well I think my summer has finally caught up with me! We have been enjoying the warm weather in every way possible. I have been working in my garden, it's doing well, I've had a few technical difficulties due to the fact that we live in a wind tunnel!!! Other than that it has been a great tool for teaching my girls and myself a little about discipline and diligence! and the rewards have been great, we harvested our first radishes and they were beauties.

On Tuesday Traci, Ashlynn, Gabrielle and I went to Adrian Or. to pick strawberries. It was lots of fun, it's kinda hard work, but sooo totally worth it, after that we made strawberry jam, which was delish.


Later that day the girls really wanted to set up a "lemonaide & popcicle" stand. They had lots of fun and made about $12. I think they are addicted to making money now, every day I hear them scheming about how to make their stand better or other ways to make money...so cute!

Cerro De La Silla


This is Ashlynn's first dance of the summer and her friend Vanessa's first dance ever! They all did such a great job, even though it was super cold. The style of this Ballet folklorico dance comes from the Norte region of Mexico. Thanks to Veronica for posting it on youtube! I've really got to figure out how to do that!
