Our Crazy Week....

This past week has been really crazy for us. We were suppose to close on our house last Wednesday so we told our landlord that we would be moved out by Sunday because he was having someone move into the apartment on Monday. Since we did not close on Wednesday we had to stay with Dan's parents. We finally closed on Tuesday (HURRAY)!!!!!!! and we are moving in tonight!!!

I really hate living out of a suitcase. To make this whole week worse we have all been sick the entire week (except for Bruce, that little stinker!!!) Dan and I usually have a really good schedule for our little family.

Up at 7:00am
eat breakfast together
Logan and I make daddy lunch
Madison comes over for the day
Movie
Playtime
Lunch
Naps @12:00
Playtime
Madison leaves @4:30
Make dinner before Dan gets home
5:30 eat dinner
6:30 baths, story time
7:00 prayers and bed
(Belive it or not, Logan actually sleeps all 12 hours too)

Lately it has been....

Boys sleep in
I make daddy lunch
Madison comes over
Dan eats cereal
Boys wake up with stuffy noses and coughing
Watch a movie
eat lunch
nap
snack
another movie
Madison leaves
go to grandparents for dinner (kris was in town)
come back home
skip baths
kids in bed around 8-9

I CANNOT WAIT until we are back to our normal schedule next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad this week is almost over with. I really appreciate Dan's parents letting us stay here for the week.

Happy Birthday Logan!!!

Our little Logan turns 2 years old today!!! The past two years have gone by so fast! We celebrated his birthday yesterday because Dan's oldest sister was in town and she is leaving this morning. Here are some pictures....




Doesnt he just look ecstatic????



Eating yummu cupcakes with some cousins!!!





I almost forgot to mention that when Logan woke up this morning....HE WAS DRY!!!!!! HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of Logan and Tyler with all their cousins. This was the first time in a long time they have all been together!

Prayer....

My sister posted this on her face book and I really like it.....



Dear Lord, In the past year you have taken my favorite actor Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress Brittney Murphy, my favorite musician Michael Jackson, my favorite salesman Billy Mays and my favorite athlete Steve McNair. This has been a tough 12 months and I just wanted you to know that my favorite president is Barack Obama. Amen.

With Dan all things are possible...

I apologize in advance for this blog...I normally don't type like this!

I know it is a week away until we are officially homeowners (I probably just jinxed it), but if it was not for the wonderful and amazing husband of mine and his stubbornness with money, we would not be getting a home. Dan and I have been on a really tight budget since we have been married. I MEAN REALLY TIGHT!!!! We would only get the cheapest 2 bedroom apartment to rent (even if it wasn't the greatest)we hardly ever go out to eat!!! And the hardest one for me has been our monthly grocery budget....$300.00 (for the whole month!!!) not just on food, but on diapers and wipes and toiletries and EVERYTHING!!!! Sometimes I go over but I am getting way better.

We actually kind of started looking for homes in 2008 but we had our unexpected baby (Tyler) come along!!! YEP!!! He was a BIG surprise!!!! And we also paid of our car. Dan is an amazing financial person. He works really hard and it has started to pay off. (I must add in, that I also work 40+ hours a week watching a bunch of neighbor kids!!!) But with out doing that I would be completely bored at home with just my own 2!!!

Anyways.....I just wanted to say.... THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL, AMAZING, CARING AND LOVING HUSBAND for getting us this far. I love you Dan!!!!

Our house...

We were not able to get this house we were suppose to close on two days ago, because they had a lien on the title and couldn't get it removed. We are currently in the works of getting another place though.

Logans words....

A while ago Dan and I were worried about Logan's vocabulary. He was not really talking much...at ALL!!! Within the last couple weeks he has been talking so much. Here are a few of the things he says....

tiger-Tyler
paci-grandpa
mama-grandma
I wuv you- I love you
