Sadly I have not blogged in forever but because of my love for Fall I decided to jump on board and blog and do a little Fall home tour. Thankfully the travel business has been keeping me so busy but I do miss blogging so here goes! </div>

These two are so excited for Fall (they take after their mama on that!) We live in a 116 year old house and Fall is my favorite to decorate for! I need to get a front door picture soon :) </div>

Happy Fall to everyone. Hoping to get a new blog post up soon about the kids!!</div>
<br />The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-71377373780381077392016-04-07T16:13:00.000-07:002017-12-14T22:07:15.655-08:00Life: a 4 year old and a 7 year old!!So every now and then I get the idea to come back to this little blog and give an update. It won't be often haha but occasionally. For life right now Instagram and chat books are working much better than blogging. Lets me real its just easier and quicker and kids are busy these days.<br />
<br />
Westin-Kate turned 4 this past February. She is so big now and it is so sad. She is girly but so tough. She is one I do not have to worry about ever! Fierce is a great way to describe her. She is sweet as can be and she hardly ever gets in trouble. She LOVES her babies, jewelry, dress up, painting nails, gymnastics, dance, and playing outside. She finally is a better sleeper (not perfect) but better.<br />
<br />
She has crazy/beautiful curly hair. She is around the 60% for her height and weight. She does dance once a week and gymnastics once a week and is in preschool three days a week. Next year she will be in school 5 mornings a week.<br />
<br />
She knows all her letters, numbers and is so smart (she takes after her brother and daddy haha.) She writes her name so well and loves to write and draw. She LOVES coloring and anything to do with art. I hope she always loves this. She also loves it when we read to her.<br />
<br />
She still has eczema which drives her crazy (and me.) We will have good months and bad months for her flare ups. Almost all of her spots are on her little legs. She has been doing great since speech ended quite a few months ago. She is still very shy and doesn't like to talk at school or in front of people she doesn't know well.<br />
<br />
She learned to ride her back without training wheels right before she turned 4. It is so funny because she looks so little riding and we get stopped all the time when we ride downtown because people are shocked she can ride a bike.<br />
<br />
<br />

One thing I am quickly learning is that I would fail miserably being a professional blogger. However I have these great kids that are growing up TOO quickly and I know when they are older I am going to wish I kept this blog up a little more than I do.<br />
<br />
So here goes nothing lets play a little catch up. Not sure how it is possible but I have an almost 4 year old and a 6.5 year old. I feel like I have just blinked my eyes and they have grown up over night. Westin Kate is in 3 year old preschool and goes three days a week and is doing great. Wade is in 1st grade and LOVES his teacher and school. He has a very young very sweet teacher and I am pretty sure he has a crush on her haha. He makes her cards and even tried to take her $2 last week. I had to break the sad news to him that she couldn't take money from students. <br />
<br />
Westin Kate has finished up with speech therapy and is doing really well. It was never anything severe but she was mixing up some of her letters and we wanted to get a jump start on it so it wouldn't continue. She did a few months of speech with Ms. Lindsey and we were so pleased. She is taking a break from gymnastics now and is doing a little dance class through the town of Apex. However I think gymnastics is going to be her thing because she keeps asking to do it again and stop dance :) She is writing her name and can write a lot of her letters. She got her ears pierced a few months ago and did GREAT. She loves baby dolls and real babies, anything Frozen, Barbie's and playing in her kitchen. She is really so sweet and such and EASY 3 year old. She finally sleeps better. We have dropped her nap and she will sleep from 745p-815am. She still will wake up for water or covers every now and then but goes right back to sleep thankfully. She loves the library and loves for us to read to her. She is super sweet but super sassy (Josh swears it comes from me!) She has no problem standing up for herself and letting us know what she thinks-hey it will make her a strong independent woman one day. She is around 39-40 inches tall and weighs about 32-34lbs. She got her first hair cut just last month at 3.5 years old. Bless her it took her that long for her hair to get long enough to cut. It is super curly (ringlets) and I just love it. She always has to have her pocketbook with her and it is always filled with all kinds of goodies. Usually she has a pocket book and a baby stroller. It has been so much fun having a little girl.<br />
<br />
Big brother Wade is still wide open and all boy. I have to say I am so glad I had a boy first because WK is quite and calm and I would have had no idea what to do with a boy after having her. Wade loves school and loves PE and recess best. Of course this is no shock to us. He LOVES soccer and is so good at it. He just finished playing baseball for the Fall and is getting ready to start basketball. He did great with baseball. He didn't love it at first because he didn't know anyone on his team but as the season went on he really enjoyed it. I have a feeling he is going to be just like Josh (good at almost everything) because he was so good at baseball. We were so proud of him and his hard work. He is reading really well for his grade and he can do math faster than I can. It is actually really sad!! He still has to be encouraged to read each night but now that he is getting more fluent he is enjoying it more. He loves anything outside and sports related. He still has A LOT of energy and that is our biggest struggle with Wade. He is perfect at school-never once gotten in trouble. At home I think he lets all his energy out. Of course I would rather it be this way but there are times when we need him to settle down and listen :) He is so sweet with his sister...of course they fight but anytime Josh and I are not around he takes great care of her. He still sleeps great. He sleeps from 745p-730am every night. He loves Wii U, sports, super hero's and anything boy related. He is still a little sensitive and takes everything to heart. He still looks just like Josh except his hair is still blonde. He is solid...he is close to 4 ft tall and weighs over 50lbs. One thing for sure Wade can always make us laugh. He is silly and so funny. Sometimes not appropriate but I keep hearing that is just a boy thing. <br />
<br />
Josh and I have been doing great. It is so nice that this Fall he is not having shoulder surgery or in a sling. We have had tons of house projects going and and we are so glad they are almost done. We added a large screen porch, a patio and fire pit and now Josh is finishing up his man cave in the back building. We still love our old house and love where we live. Hopefully these are our last projects for awhile. Work is so busy for Josh but he is doing a great job and building a successful business. I am still working a couple days a month at the hospital and I recently took a job with Magical Vacations by Me planning Disney trips. It has been a lot of fun and I am just getting started. We got away to Mexico this year and took the kids to Disney this past October. We love to travel and are renting a cabin in the mountains for Christmas and taking the kids snow tubing. Wade is of course thrilled. Hoping to do a "day in the life" post either today or this week so I can look back and see what we did when our kids were little :) The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-83750772873812432502015-01-22T11:32:00.001-08:002015-01-22T11:32:20.020-08:00Things I don't want to forget!!This is one of those post's that you will want to skip right over. I write down the funny things the kids say and I would love to have it in our blog books so we can look back and laugh one day! Here is what Westin-Kate has been saying...<br />
<br />
(some of these are old!!)<br />
21 months- "I do it!"<br />
"I want momma!" <br />
<br />
22 months-"uh-oh" (she said this a lot!)<br />
"where's Josh?"<br />
"hold baby" (talking about Hayes)<br />
<br />
2 years old-<br />
"WADE stop talking I counting!" (this was one of my favorites-she was so serious!)<br />
"that's beautiful!" (talking about my hair one day and our house one day haha)<br />
"Wade did that...."<br />
"Go Aunt E's house morrow?"<br />
"I do it!" (while crossing her little arms)<br />
"Charlie hush!" <br />
"I want regular ones-nuggets" (I had been getting them grilled nuggets if we ate out and she was telling me she wanted the regular good fried ones haha)<br />
"I not..." (I not go peeschool today!)<br />
"I not a baby!" "I a big girl" <br />
<br />
A few months ago she was drawing a picture of circles and I asked what it was and she said "I drawing moles!" I have a mole on my lip that she always asks about and bless her she started drawing moles. It was so funny! <br />
<br />
Wade- 4 years old<br />
"I need to listen to my songs like whistle baby" (he must have been riding with Josh that day)<br />
"Seriously?"<br />
"you were about last today!" (in carpool)<br />
"I'm sick-I blessed you so many times today"<br />
<br />
5 years old-<br />
"now that I am 5 do I go to college next year?"<br />
After his first week of K he asked- "Am I in 1st grade now?"<br />
Talking to Poppy he said "I don't think my mommy and daddy would want me to say that!" ( I was proud of him that day haha)<br />
"I almost had a heart attack riding up that hill"<br />
"I pooped and burped and now feel much better!" (oh the things boys say!)<br />
<br />
5.5 years old-<br />
This was SO funny. Mom was over and she was telling Wade she didn't have a good day and he says... "Me either... because of you know (he was pointing at me haha) then he says, "she wouldn't have been so cranky if she didn't fall down the stairs!" We both died laughing! <br />
<br />
I know there are so many more funny things that they say I just have to remember to write them all down!!The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-22401532165836231162015-01-22T10:15:00.004-08:002015-01-22T10:15:47.409-08:00Life in Pictures...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh this certain sweet 2 year old would not take a school picture-it was a man taking them and she would have nothing to do with it. She just cried and cried and they actually called me to see if I could get her to take it haha. She told me later that day- "all my friends do it but not me!" Josh swears she gets her stubbornness from me :) So this is her 2 year old school picture on our front porch! And how sweet is that dress- I already told her she is wearing it again for school pictures in the Spring!</div>

Christmas morning 2014!! Yes my child has a little curly afro going on-never ever did I imagine I would have one with such curly hair. I love it she does not. The other day she told me "I not want curly hair I want long hair!" So sad :( I told her I loved her curly hair and I would trade for my stick straight hair. </div>

Both kids are doing great in school. Wade LOVES school so much more than I ever thought he would. Loves his teachers, his sweet friends and loves PE and recess the best he says! He is doing well too-he is really starting to read and is doing great with his sight words these days. I can't believe we are half way through his Kindergarten year. <br />
<br />
WK loves preschool. She always says "you came back!" with a huge grin on her face when I pick her up. Literally she says this everyday like she thinks I may forget her one day haha. She has taken off with talking these past few weeks and its hard to believe she will be 3 in two weeks. She takes Spanish at preschool and she is counting and talking in Spanish some too around the house it is so funny! Her favorite part of the day though is Chapel. She loves it. <br />
<br />
Josh got hurt pretty bad playing soccer in November and that completely through us for a loop. You never know how nice you have it until something like that happens and literally for WEEKS people he couldn't do anything. I mean I was even bathing him that first week or two. He got tripped and landed on his shoulder and it separated his shoulder and tore his RC so he had to have surgery. He spent 8 long weeks in a sling and it was pretty much awful. I loved having him home for two weeks but not under the circumstances. He just got his sling off and now he has 8 weeks of rehab. We had to cancel our Disney trip in December but we are going in 2 weeks so we are excited about that. Lets just say appreciate your husbands having two working arms haha. <br />
<br />
Christmas was busy but great. We all had a cold (except Josh) but thankfully by Christmas Eve we were feeling better. We did Christmas Eve here with my family and spent Christmas morning and most of the day at home. It was lovely we stayed in our pj's until 3pm when we headed to Winston. We spent the next two days in Winston and had a great time. Wade of course loves Santa and talking to him and WK not so much. Josh was in the picture this year haha. <br />
<br />
I need to work on uploading some pictures-now that I have discovered chatbooks app I put almost everything on IG and it prints off into the cutest little books. I love not having to print pictures all the time. They are fantastic! We went to Tweetsie in October and the kids had a blast. My entire family went and we all stayed at the same hotel and it was a lot of fun. Probably wont do Tweetsie again but we will do the mountains for sure again-kids loved it! We leave for Disney in just 2.5 weeks and we are surprising the kids and cannot wait. We are going for 4 nights and we are going to tell them the morning we leave. I can't wait to see their little faces. WK has just started asking all of a sudden to go see Mickey and Minnie. They are at great ages and she will have just turned 3 the week we leave. <br />
<br />
Speaking of turning 3...the beloved paci will be making its exit from our house right after Disney. We would be crazy to take it away before our trip haha. We need her to nap in the stroller some :) I took Wade's away SO much earlier (18mo) and this girl LOVES her paci. It doesn't leave the house but none the less she is attached. We are going to go to build a bear for her too because it worked so well with Wade.<br />
<br />
Wade is playing basketball this winter and he is doing awesome. He scored 10 points his last game and we were so proud of him. Basketball ends in February and then we have a little break until March when soccer starts. I am really excited for soccer this year. I know he is going to love it. Westin-Kate started gymnastics in December and LOVES it. She is actually really good at it and I think it may be something we continue. I never did dance so this summer I am going to let her take a little gymnastics break and try a dance class offered through the town of Apex. I am sure she will play soccer too-she is so fast but I am going to wait until she turns 4 for that. I think it would be so hard watching 3 year olds play soccer haha. We still are going with the rule that they get one activity per season and it has worked great with our family. Josh and I have small group on Monday nights and so we don't want to be gone every night of the week. Wade practices on Thursday nights and has Saturday games. Gymnastics is great because for the next year or two she will do morning classes. Life seems so much simpler when we don't have a million things going on and when the kids can just play outside most days. <br />
<br />
We got Josh out of a sling and then of course I would get hurt right after that. I didn't see the sheet of ice on our porch last week and slipped off the porch and hit all three stairs on my tailbone. It has been awful. I can finally walk normally again one week later but it is still pretty sore :( Thankful it wasn't a broken wrist or ankle though. We are loving our house still and really can't wait until it warms up so we can get outside more. This week has actually been nice and we get to finally walk home from school because it has been over 50 degrees. If its under 50 degrees we carpool!! I am going to try to get some pictures up soon. I love my blog books and really want to keep up with all the fun things the kiddos are doing these days. Here's to posting more!!

Well we are surviving the first couple of weeks of school around here. Wade is loving K and is pretty excited to go each day. He has been a little more tired than normal but he really has adjusted better than I ever thought he would. The first week was the worst but he really wasn't that bad. One night he cried because we gave him water for dinner-haha he always drinks water :) I have to say it has been an easier transition than I expected. He is doing well and seems to be learning a lot too. He does go to bed early and that seems to really help. We usually have him down by 745p. His sister has been missing him and gets so excited when it is time to go pick him up! He loves drama and computer specials the best. He was so excited last week because an older boy told him he was "fast" on the play ground. Here are two pictures from the night before K.</div>

WK is really liking school too. Just last week when we were walking home she randomly says "I love my peeschool!" However the first day of school she did not want to go and we got the best pictures of her proving that. Some days she will still say "I not go peeschool today!" but she does go and she always comes home happy :) Her teachers seem great and they say she is adjusting and behaving well which makes this momma happy. At home she is 2 years old in full force. Wade called her "little Shannon" the other day when she was whining and I couldn't help but to laugh and call Josh. Josh of course agreed with him. This weekend though her name has changed to "little cray cray (crazy)" and "little fireball!" She was a pistol to be around this weekend needless to say. My girl knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it when she is ready she will let everyone else in the entire world know it to. Loud is an understatement. Its funny what age will do because Wade is at the sweetest age and I can tell he is working so hard on good behavior and wild woman could care less. So maybe just maybe 5 is the magic age where it just clicks :)</div>

We are loving this cooler weather and I LOVE that I can walk both kids to school. It is amazing not to sit in carpool for the moment. I know when it is freezing that may change but for the next couple of months we love walking. Wade has started tball and really loves playing. Josh also started playing soccer for the town of Apex and poor guy got hurt last night in his game. It was only his 2nd game so I am hoping his muscles will heal quickly so he can play again. I am waiting another month or two but then I will start WK in gymnastics-probably after October (its always a busy busy month for us!)</div>

<br />
I can't believe that I am even writing this letter to you! I feel like I was just about to have you or that we were just celebrating your 1st and 2nd birthdays at the Lake. How on earth is it time for me to let you go off to school tomorrow?? Wade we love you so much and are so proud of you. You are crazy, silly, loud and oh so funny...not to mention handsome and way smarter than me. I know you are SO ready for this and tonight when we had your back to school pizza party and roasted marshmallows you could barely even contain your excitement. Mommy on the other hand is SO not ready for you to be gone all day.<br />
<br />
I am already looking forward to teacher work days and early release days. Tomorrow 8/25/14 is your very first day of school. Its assessment day but you go all day from 845a-335p. Thankfully it is the only day this week that you will go. Friday we go in for an hour or so to "officially" meet your teacher even though we know that you will have Mrs. Enderline (who is your aunt Ashley's best friend!) I feel so much better about you going because she knows you and is going to love you and take care of you there! Your lunch is packed and your snack is packed and your huge book bag is all ready to go. You even got a pizza lunchable because I love you so much (you never get those!) <br />
<br />
Not only am I going to miss you so much but WK is really going to miss you. I know she is going to be walking around looking for you tomorrow. You are the BEST big brother. I really never imagined that you could be so sweet and so good to her. She is one lucky girl to have you! I know you will always watch over her and protect her.<br />
<br />
I am hoping and praying that you have the best first day and the best year ever. I am so glad you know a few friends already and can't wait for you to meet more. We love you!! Please be safe and I cannot wait to see you after school and see how your day went. Not sure if I will sleep at all tonight but you were so excited that you went right to sleep at 8pm tonight. Have a great day sweet boy!!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
your sad mommy :(<br />

Even though it takes a little time I LOVE looking back at my old books from when the kids were babies. So so glad I started blogging when Wade was just a few months old. Talk about a tear jerker though-I just looked back at his 8 month post :( I know I am repeating myself but HOW is he going to Kinder in 3 weeks. This mama is just not ready for this. We are going to enjoy these last three week so much. I have to say we have had a GREAT Summer and the kids have gotten to do a lot of fun things! <br />
<br />
Here is what we have been up to this past month: The first week of July we went to the Lake for the 4th and had a great time with our family. The kids love playing with Hayes and going for boat rides. WK hid under the towel for the start of the fireworks and then she warmed up to it and she kept saying over and over that "she loved the purple one the best!" <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from the Lake. WK rode the tube for the very first time but those pictures are on my big camera. She liked it ok...she was much more afraid at 2 than Wade was but hey she tried it. Wade loves to ride the tube and he also tried to ski for the very first time (however we won't talk about that!) Basically a lot of water in the face and nose = not a happy 5 year old!) This was the first Summer than we had a full blown fight about who would drive the boat. Sassy pants right here didn't want anyone else but herself driving with Pops. <br />

The 2nd week of July Josh and I went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico!! (without kiddos!) It was amazing and we had the best time with 2 of our best friends Carrie and Brandon. This was our third trip out of the country with them and we had a blast. It had been 3 years since we have traveled like this so it was time. We are hoping to travel with them yearly from now on. The kids did great and spent two days with my parents and three days with Josh's parents. Lets just put it this way-they cried when we got home and not because they were so happy to see us. They cried because they didn't want to leave Nana and Poppy's house. Oh and it didn't stop there-Wade woke up the next morning and cried for 20 minutes because he "couldn't take it anymore" he said "I have to go back to Nana and Poppy's house right now!" Note to self lets make our next trip 6-7 days please :)</div>

We came home and had a week to relax and then the third week in July Wade finished up swim team and went to VBS at his old preschool. He loved it was so sad when it ended. He is getting so excited about going to school which makes me a little happier about everything. WK is so excited too she will say "my school, my school!" when we go by there. She is talking so much and learning something new every day. She sings her ABC's all the time now and knows some of her letter too. Just the other day on tv they asked what number is this and I heard her little voice say "eight" and she was right! I had no idea she knew her numbers. I know tv isn't great all the time but both of my kids have learned quite a bit from watching some tv. Here are some of my favorite pictures from July!</div>

This is an old one but I laugh every time I see it; this is the face Wade made every time we looked at him during his performance at school. He told us he could sing in front of other mom and dads but was too embarrassed to sing in front of us!</div>

Can't believe tomorrow is August already. I have got to get some pictures of the kids swimming before the end of the Summer. WK has been saying the funniest things and one thing I don't want to forget is whens he says "neva neva (never)drop paci in the potty again!" she did this by accident one day last week and it made her so sad. She loves that paci. So now when she wakes up and goes potty with her paci she takes it out of her mouth and finds a special place in the bathroom for it so it is safe. She also says "I good girl I not hit" every time we pick her up from MMO or the gym daycare. It really traumatized her that day she got in trouble at the gym daycare. Poor thing is so worried about getting in trouble again. We keep telling her how she is a "good girl" but she will not forget that day she got in trouble :)</div>

So if she isn't a photographer maybe she will study fashion. It was only 80 degrees this day so she picked out her tank top and shorts with her boots with the fur (pretty sure there is a song about that!!) Lets not forget her pocket book for the day. I love this because I never carry purse or hardly even dress up anymore and she is so girly and wants to all the time! She will say "oh no my hair bow" if it is falling out or we don't have one.</div>

After soccer ended we started swim team at our pool and I LOVE it. Even if its not something he loves and wants to continue for years that is totally fine with me. I really just want him to do it for a couple of years so he can be a strong swimmer. We are around water so much and it is so important to us that our kids swim well. With the beach and the lake and Josh's parents having a pool it tends to make me nervous. Here is Wade at his very first swim practice and first time jumping off the block. He had a meet last night and he did really well. </div>

Silly Wade at his 5 year check up. He did great and didn't even cry when he got his shots. We may or may not have bribed him with a milkshake afterwards. He is growing up too fast. The one with his new book bag makes me so sad. How is he going to Kindergarten...we only have 54 days until school starts! </div>

Ready for brothers last soccer game. Please don't let Josh take our kids to Dicks. Our two year old came back with her own umbro soccer shorts, her own cleats and her own ball. I am sure she really did need them :)</div>

I have a "few" pictures from my cell phone that I wanted to go back and post on. The first two are from Easter 2014. This was the first year we let WK help with egg decorating. I think she loved it- Wade loves to dye eggs. This year we just used food coloring instead of those silly dye kits and they turned out so much better.</div>

Wade and Westin-Kate got asked to be in a fashion show. Wade was so bashful and I thought WK would do horrible but she walked right on down by herself and even did a little turn and walked right back. She was so cute! Wade did great too but he said he "didn't want people to look at him!" </div>

Our poor back yard is a work in progress these days. It was SO overgrown and we still have weeds everywhere. We finally got the weeds out of the patio and cleaned it up a little so we let the kids eat dinner outside for the first time. They think its so fun to do this and I love that the kitchen doesn't get so messy :)</div>

And...this is how these two sleep. We moved to a 5 bedroom house and they share a room and I love it! WK does have her own room but they just play in there mostly. She naps and sleeps in Wade's beds. I know they won't like doing this for too many more years but I am so glad they enjoy it now. </div>

I was fine with 4 but 5 has been hard. I think because he graduated preschool in May and is heading to Kindergarten in just a couple of months. He was SO excited about turning 5 and would ask almost daily if it was close to his bday. Since 5 is a pretty big birthday we decided to let him pick- he could have a big party at a bounce place or go to Great Wolf Lodge. Well thank heavens he picked the trip. (we are a little behind in going but working on that now!) He had been playing soccer every Saturday and we haven't had the chance to get away. <br />
<br />
So we did a family party for him at his favorite pizza place in downtown Apex and then walked back home and opened presents here. We also did a little park party with a few of his favorite friends. I think he had a great birthday!! The day before his birthday WK had her MMO so Wade and I went on a little date to get a bagel and then I surprised him with a trip to defy gravity-an indoor trampoline place. We had the best time-he wore me out. He picked out a lemon cake from whole foods and he was so cute-he said I am really sorry if no one likes lemon cake but its my favorite and since its my birthday I really want it. Good thing we all love lemon flavored cake and oh my whole foods has the best cakes!! Not sure why I am just learning this.<br />
<br />
Preschool ending was hard for me. I know he is ready for kindergarten but I am not ready. He has been home with me for a long time and we are going to miss him. He however is going to the same school I went to and he is going to be a walker just like I was!! I love that they are growing up on the same street that I did-never in my wildest dreams did I think that would happen.<br />

I am sure I am missing a bunch on this guy too but he really is a good kid. We just love this silly, kind, wild and funny boy. We are so proud of you Wade Harrison and I know you are going to do great next year. We love you and can't believe you are 5 years old.

So...I finally feel like I have a little time to blog and I don't have time to blog about house and kid things and so I choose the kids! One day when the kids are older and not doing and saying cute things then I will go back and blog all about renovating a 100 year old house! So I am not going to go back months and try to catch up I am going to just start here. I did want to blog about WK turning 2 though-somehow with her turning 2 and us finishing the house the same month it just didn't happen :) Oh and I now have a computer set up so that makes life a little easier when blogging. <br />
<br />
February 6th, 2014 my wild but sweet girl turned 2! I still can't believe she is going on 2.5 soon. Life just goes so fast once you have kids. Now it is completely not normal to have a kids birthday in a Mexican restaurant but work with me on this one. We had packed a lot up at my moms house-had a lot left in storage and were finishing up our house so our options were limited. Plus its too cold for the park in February. One day when she asks I will explain all of this to her.<br />
<br />
I must have used Josh's phone for her birthday pictures. However just picture a nice Mexican place a little girl in a sweet Minnie mouse dress and a Minnie mouse themed party/cake and you get the picture. She had a great time and that's what it is all about!! Here are a few of her right around the time she turned two. <br />

I know there are so many things I am forgetting but we just love this funny/crazy child. Most days by 5pm when Josh gets home the first words he hears are "hear you go!" as I am handing her over to her daddy. She is oh so cute but she makes me tired. Now at almost 2.5 I am almost seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. She is starting to get a tad easier and actually does sit and play well. Girls are much much calmer than boys but having a big brother has made this one wild. We always joke that we don't have to worry about her or Wade because WK will take care of them. She is not afraid of anything and even though it drives me crazy at the same time I love this about her. We love you wild woman!!

I guess that's what happens when you have a husband, almost 5 year old, a 2 year old, a great idea to start a new job all while restoring a 100 year old house! I have to say it's been a crazy but great ride. Josh and I have really loved it ( even those moments when we wanted to kill each other!) just kidding but there have been some fun but stressful moments with this great house :)<br />
<br />
I decided not to go back and try to blog about everything that has happened but here are a few of the big things that did:<br />
<br />
- we survived living with my parents for 4 months even through the Holiday season<br />
- we all had a great Christmas this year and the kids see at such a great age. WK did not love Santa but other than that she loved Christmas!<br />
-we had a horrible cold winter (still having it in March) and it slowed down some of the house stuff<br />
- I turned 32 this year in February and two days later my wild woman tuned 2!<br />
- I decided to stop working weekends and got a new job in Cary in a great Women's center working one day a week on a mother/baby unit. My mom watches them one day a week when I work or josh has them if it's a weekend day.<br />
- I really have enjoyed getting out of the house one day each week.<br />
-WK started a MMO one morning a week and I don't know what to do with myself having three hours of alone time on Thursday mornings!<br />
-Wade is loving preschool and doing great going 5 days a week.<br />
-Finally finished all of the house stuff and on March 1st 2014 we moved!! Such a fun time and a crazy one too.<br />
<br />
I have had SO many people ask me about the house and actually if I would blog about it so I am going to do just that. I am going to start a new blog all about our house but also it will be our family blog too. As soon as I get it going I will post the website on here. I promise it won't be four months :)<br />

And this is still how you will find these two...they started sleeping together at my parents house and they are still doing it at the new house! They have the best love hate relationship going on... They play so well one minute and the next they are driving each other crazy! </div>

Things are fun and busy but we just love this Holiday season. The house is well....taking forever! At this rate I feel like we will be in by Christmas next year. I have to say though even if it is crazy at my parents house it is nice to be there for Christmas and not worrying about decorating. It is a nice break this year and we are able to slow down and enjoy things a little more. <br />
<br />
We had a great Thanksgiving and we have so much to be Thankful for. We spent lunch with my parents, sister and her family and my cousin and her daughter. It was fun having a one week old baby around too! Hayes is still so sweet and they are all doing well and I love being an Aunt again. I really miss my niece and nephews that live in Clemmons, NC and it has been nice to have a new nephew just 5 minutes down the road. Josh and I have been loving the fact that we hold him and play with him and give him back when he needs to eat. It is so fun having a little baby around but we are thankful it is not us doing it this time.<br />
<br />
We packed up and headed to Winston after lunch time and had the best time with Josh's family. We always do lunch with my side and dinner with his side and it works out so nice. The kids nap in the car so we have a quiet car ride every year. One day they will grow out of those naps and we will be so sad. Wade doesn't nap much at home but he will fall asleep in the car. It was loud and crazy with 5 kids under the age of 6 but it is always fun. Josh's mom cooks the best meal and we just enjoy playing and eating. We put the kids to bed and Josh and I went out shopping. The stores opened up at 8pm this year on Thursday so we shopped from 9p-12a and actually got most of our shopping done. I only have one more present to buy!<br />
<br />
Friday and Saturday we spent a lot of time playing and relaxing and visiting the great grandparents. Wade also had his first sleep over at his cousins house. Kendal has been wanting to have him over and he LOVES them especially Peyton and was so excited. We wanted to try it when we were close for the first time in case he did get scared and need us. He did great. Besides his grandparents he has never spent the night anywhere so this was a big deal for us :) I had to leave Saturday afternoon to get to work but Josh and the kids stayed and had a blast. I was SO sad because I missed the train ride with Santa. They took all 5 of the kids to Spencer, NC and they had a train ride with Santa and his elves. Wade loved the hot chocolate and cookies best. I was just glad Josh got a picture of both kids with Santa. The mall did not go well this year our little one did not cooperate and not only that she was HORRIBLE at the picture place and we could not even get one picture of the two of them. So this year the Foltz family will not be sending Christmas cards. She screamed and cried (in her defense she did not feel well) and we couldn't even sit her down with Wade. Wade of course did great and smiled so nicely. I am going to try to take one of them at our new house soon and maybe mail those out??<br />
<br />
Mom got her tree up and the kids are loving it. WK is being really good and has not messed with it very much at all. Our elf Jack Frost "Jack" is back and Wade is really excited about him. I just hope we remember to move him!! Wade had a Thanksgiving program at school and they got to pick their own Indian names and you will never guess what he picked...."Steaming Fast Red Fox!!" We just laughed and laughed when he told us his name that he picked. He sang great and we were so proud. He is also having a nativity program and they got to pick their character and our outgoing boy picked Joseph. He looks so cute in his pillow case costume. He is having that next week and we can't wait to go watch. Wade LOVES his sister so much and she has not been very nice to him lately and he was so sad the other day. He asked me "mom can you put her in time out and then give me a hug!" Some days she says "Wade" all day and loves him and some days she does not want him around. She will say "No" and try to hit him. Wade is so sweet and sensitive and Westin Kate is not at all. <br />
<br />
WK is talking so much more and saying a lot of things. Today she said "hat on" and she says "oh me" all the time. Sometimes when we tell her "no" she will say "oh me" in the cutest little voice. She actually went poop on the potty today but I think it was an accident. I saw she was getting ready to go and we ran into the bathroom and she did it. She is not a big fan of the potty yet and at 22 months I am not going to push it yet. She says "I stink" when she is wet or dirty and its really funny. She also yells "UN UH" all the time if she doesn't want to do something. Some days though she is as good as gold and I could just eat her up. Then we have other days where I can just imagine what our teenage years are going to be like. <br />
<br />
This weekend Wade has his second basketball game and he is pumped. He made 7 baskets at his last game and he was so proud of himself. We also have the downtown Apex tree lighting on Friday night with Santa and the Christmas parade on Saturday. We love that we can sit on our front porch this year and watch the parade. Sunday is the tour of homes and Dad and I are going to go. They have asked us to do it next year so I wanted to go this year and see the houses. Its a busy weekend but such a fun one. Christmas is so fun when you have two little kiddos to enjoy it with. I promise I am putting pictures up soon!The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-88507885810095908832013-11-17T18:44:00.000-08:002013-11-17T18:55:04.500-08:00Life!!I am trying not to let a month (or two!!) go by without blogging. I still won't have any pictures yet since life has been crazy and I am SO behind on pictures etc. One day I will get it all together. One day many years from now :)<br />
<br />
The kids had a great Halloween and have really been enjoying this Fall weather. Wade was Batman this year and WK was a cupcake. She was so proud of herself and her little bucket. Wade says Halloween is his most favorite time of the year because of the candy. WK was a big fan as well. We made it downtown this year and walked around for there "trick or treat" day. All the stores pass out candy to the kids. My kids loved it but it was actually really crowded this year. It was so nice though that we got to walk downtown from our house. We also took them trick or treating to our old street and it was so good to see all of our old neighbors. WK tried to walk right into our old house- it made us a little sad. We have really missed our neighbors so it was great to see them some. The kids were worn out by 8pm but they had a great time. <br />
<br />
Wade is finishing up soccer and actually starts basketball this week. He like soccer but I would not say he loved it. Bless his sweet heart he is not aggressive at all. He is great with the ball and can dribble so well but he will NOT go after the ball or try to take it away from anyone. He is such a sweet spirit and doesn't think it would be "nice" to take the ball away. Oh Josh just hates this, ha ha!! He would rather just wait for the ball to come to him! He is excited for basketball and is excited that he is playing with his best friend Chase. We are going to try soccer again in the Spring but we are doing it with the Town because he is finally old enough. I think he will like it better because it is outside this time. <br />
<br />
WK well she is just Westin-Kate and she should have been a boy she is so crazy. My mom found her up on the island in the kitchen this week. She climbed the bar stool and got up there all alone. My mom calls her a "walking tornado" and that is pretty much the truth. This child pretty much destroys every room every day. She is still so smiley and sweet (most of the time!!) She is finally getting a little more hair and I don't even want to say it but it looks like it is curling up on the sides and around the back. It is a dirty blond color. She has much darker hair than Wade. Wade was white blond and curly but now he has lost his curls and his is turning much darker too. Its funny because I always wanted her to have blue eyes like Wade because I always wanted blue eyes growing up :) I have to admit though I LOVE her big brown eyes. She may not have much hair but she has these great big brown eyes that are so sweet. <br />
<br />
The house is still a work in progress. Things have been moving pretty fast. We finally found an electrician and we decided to have the entire house re-wired to get rid of all the old nob and tooth wiring. It took forever to find someone to do the work but we are so happy with this one. He has 4-5 guys that work for him and they have all been there working together which makes it go so much faster. It is pretty expensive but it is so worth it to us to have it up to code and have all new switches and outlets. Once they are finished we will finish with the wall and painting and then start on the floors and kitchen. The kitchen is all gutted and we have ordered our cabinets and counter tops. We can't wait to see it finished. We had a ton of landscaping done and it is a huge dirty mess but it looks so much better having all those old bushes and weeds pulled. We even found a really big stone patio under all the yard mess. We were pretty excited about that because now we have a place for our table and for a fire pit. We still don't know when we will finally get into the house but we are hoping by January at the latest. We added to our fence and now it goes almost all around our yard. We just have a small part in the front yard to fence in. We can't wait to see the finished project one day. It may be years from now but hopefully it will all be worth it!! <br />
<br />
And last but not least baby Hayes is here. Ashley had sweet Hayes early Friday morning. She actually worked all day and went in after work and they sent her home and told her she wasn't in labor. Well she proved them wrong because she came back in and had a baby in less than two hours. She did it natural because she labored at home so long she didn't have time for her epidural when she finally came back in. He is so cute and so quiet. I know he may not always be this way but the child has not cried for more than 5 seconds total. He is the most content baby I have ever been around. He is really cute and looks so different than my kids. He is little and skinny and has a lot of hair. Mine were both chubby and big with hardly any hair. I am trying not to be a baby hog but he is so sweet you just want to cuddle him all the time. Hoping he stays this quiet for them all the time.

I have NEVER in my ENTIRE life seen so much stuff in one house except on TV on the show Hoarders. I feel like our life the past months could have been a reality show. We never imagined that buying this great big house would mean we had to move the older couple out and deal with EVERYTHING else that they left for us. Every room was full and every closet was full. Every barn and shed (all 5 of them) were full. I mean floor to ceiling full in most of them. Boxes and stuff everywhere. I just can't even explain except that it has taken us a month and a half to clean out this house. We could have never ever done it without my parents. They have helped so much!! They have helped with moving everything, cleaning and watching the kids so much. We are so thankful!<br />
<br />
We also could not have done it without Mr. Carl and his family/workers. He was the one who did the auction for us and he did so much. I don't think his 30% was nearly enough. It took his guys 3-4 days just to clean out 3 of the sheds/barns. Pictures don't even do it justice but I will tell you we are on our 5th dumpster and these are HUGE 40 ft dumpsters and that is just for the "trash." Josh took a large trailer full to Goodwill and we sold a lot at the auction/yard sale. They made a decent amount of money. They got out the best...they didn't have to do any work and still made money, haha. They were the smart one's in all of this. Of course we don't mind helping them because they just can't do it but it was a long long weekend. You just don't know how happy it makes me seeing our yard clean. We had tents and stuff everywhere that entire week.<br />
<br />
We also have had a problem with people coming onto the property and trying to take things or even coming into the house. We had to hang a Private sign on the front door to try to keep people out. People have been trying to come in and buy stuff that is not for sale. I think because we had a three day sale there people just thought everything was for sale and that they could just come take things that were in the yard. Thankfully now everything is locked up outside and we head over there every night and lock the house once all the workers leave. We have painted the upstairs and done a lot of the trim work already and the plumbers finished last week. Now we are just trying to find an electrician to re-wire the house so we can finish up the upstairs. This weekend we pretty much got the back room done that we are using for our attic and started moving stuff in there. After we get the upstairs lighting done and the bathroom done we will be all ready to have the floors done and then we can start moving stuff up there. We still have a few inspection type things to get done and I am hoping we can do that this week sometime. We are also working on the kitchen now and that has been the most fun getting to pick all of that out.

I am ashamed to admit that my new computer that Josh bought me this past June is still in the box. This weekend we are getting it out I promise. For now I will just try to blog some at work. Honestly though it has been a nice little break from blogging and Facebook. I don't have an I phone (so behind I know!!) so I don't have any internet access now during the day until Josh gets home. I can't believe it has been two months since I last blogged but it has been the craziest two months ever!!! Here is what we have been up to...<br />
<br />
We have bought a new house, sold our old house, moved most of our house into storage, moved the rest of our things and ourselves into my parents house, moved an elderly couple into their new house, packed up 1 million items from their old house and tried so hard to find a place for ALL of their stuff. Cleaned our 4 of the 5 sheds/barns at our new house, had an auction/yard sell to get rid of everything they could not cram into their new house, had a baby shower for my sister, went to the fair, celebrated Halloween with a school party, went trick or treating whew I am tired just thinking about how busy this past month has been. Oh we also started renovating our new house which means meeting plumbers, contractors, painters, electricians you name it we have had them in our house!! We just love making ourselves crazy. Even with all this going on we have actually had a lot of fun too. Oh Josh also turned 32 in the midst of this busy October month. We love love Fall and October is my favorite month but I think that for some reason it is also one of our busiest month's too!! <br />
<br />
We LOVE our new house. It is our dream house and one day it will be so worth it. Right now it is still a little overwhelming but slowly it is getting there. I am just so thankful that we have finally gotten almost everything out of it that was Ron and Anne's (the elderly couple that we bought it from!) I think we have on more trailer load to take them and we will have it all at their new house. The shed's look amazing-you could not walk into any of the barns/sheds before because they were so full-now they are organized and makes my type A personality happy. <br />
<br />
I have seen more "stuff" this past month and a half than I ever care to see. If I see one more box of junk I think I would just scream. It is so fun seeing it empty. We really do love our new house and we will love it more once we are living there. It is going just fine living with my parents but you can imagine moving our entire family into their quiet house has been a big change for everyone. It is just a season and I know in a month or three we will be living there. The kids have really really done well with all the added stress. <br />
<br />
Wade is loving school and loves going 5 days a week. He had his little song fest this past week for Halloween and it was so cute. They wore their costumes and sang a few songs for the parents. Wade was Batman this year for Halloween. He is really into Super Hero's still and Ninja Turtles. I was actually shocked that he wasn't a Ninja Turtle but he picked Batman. I was happy with it because we already had the costume. He is so funny at 4.5 year old. We had a 1/2 birthday party for him and he told me "mommy you ruin all the parties!" he told me this because I made him go to bed, Ha! Such a bad mommy! He loves his sister so much and tells her she is the cutest girl ever. He loves sharing a room with her and even today I found him napping in her bed with her. He really doesn't nap much these days but occasionally he will once or twice a week. Wade is at such a great age we can take him anywhere with us and we usually don't have any issues with his behavior. He is so sweet and gets so embarrassed when I want to sit and hug him and kiss on him. He loves to run around our new big yard and climb trees and pretend he is a ninja. He is really fun to watch and still keeps us laughing. He is funny and his sister really takes after him. He LOVES ropes and tying things up and playing on the big dumpsters we have. Gross I know, he is all boy for sure. He has seven girlfriends this year and is very proud of that. <br />
<br />
Westin Kate is so cute and so crazy. She is going to be 21 months this week and she is WILD. She is sweet as pie one minute and hugging and kissing and she is saying "bite" and being mean the next minute. We literally laugh at her all the time. She still doesn't like to talk but she can talk. She said "I do it" this week and has started saying "oh me" and "oh Wade" and it is so funny. The other night they were taking a bath and Wade was telling her all about his new boo boo and I heard her say "Oh Me!" Josh and I died laughing. She climbs on everything and falls all the time. She doesn't sit still for one minute and still isn't into TV. She will watch it for a minute if she has a snack but other than that she does not sit down. She has this huge brown eyes and the longest eyelashes and is finally getting some hair. It is coming in think and crazy and maybe a little curly. I am still keeping my fingers crossed that it will be curly like Josh's. Everyone just loves her and makes a big deal over her and sometimes it really makes Wade sad. :( He will say "why didn't they tell me I am so cute!!" She is silly silly and her Sunday school teachers tell us every week that she just "runs the show" in her room. She is sassy and I am pretty sure a little bossy too. We just love her! Our favorite thing that she says is "Mo" "Mo" means "no" and she says it all the time. Its funny because I know she can so the N sound because she calls my mom "NiNi" instead of "Mimi" We always say, "Westin-Kate are you ready to go to bed?" Just to hear her say "Mo!!" She also says "Un-uh" all the time.<br />
<br />
I am really going to try harder to keep this up. I do love looking back at our blog books and I really want to document our house transformation on here. Hoping to finally get some picture post done as well. I have a lot of pictures to get on here one day. The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-37300092635229270482013-09-06T12:07:00.002-07:002013-09-06T12:07:55.011-07:00Back to a routine-Wade's first week of 4yr preschool!I have to say I was a little worried about getting back from the beach and starting school the next day but thankful things have gone pretty well this week. We left Friday evening for the beach and the kids were so excited. Josh and I were also very excited because our house sold on Friday. We are so thankful that is sold (again!!) Hopefully these people will not back out-they are probably in their 50's and moving from Tennesse and they loved this house. We are closing on October 14th. I am thankful we have another month to live here. We still haven't closed on our new house but hopefully we will be able to close by October 1st. We have been waiting to see if interest rates will go back down a bit but of course it seems like they are still up. <br />
<br />
We had a great time and the beach. Wade still loves the pool more than the beach but he got to go on a long bike ride with Nana and Poppy and had a great time. He did great and even rode over 5 miles-his little legs were worn out after that. WK is still as wild as ever and loves the ocean and playing in the waves. Still fearless and buys!! My family was also down for the weekend so we got to spend some time with them as well. The kids always love having both sets of grandparents around to spoil them. We came home Monday afternoon and I don't know why we didn't wait until evening because traffic was horrible and the kids of course sleep less than 2 hours. They did great though considering it took us 4.5 hours to get home.<br />
<br />
School started that Tuesday and I just knew Wade was going to have a blast in the Duck class but I was wrong. There is a little boy named Caleb in his class who is picking on him. He told us he pushed him, stepped on his toe, called him two names, hit him twice, and put mulch in his hair. All this happened on the first two days of school :( Josh and I were furious and of course emailed the teachers right away. We are hoping they will handle it so we don't have to get involved but rest assured if they don't handle it we will have no problem at all getting involved. That is something we are not going to tolerate in 4 yr old preschool. <br />
<br />
Caleb was not in school on Friday so of course Wade had a great day. I am a little anxious to see what happens next week. I really didn't want to show myself the first week of school but now we are into the 2nd week so I will not have an issue at all :) Wade of course is too worried he will get in trouble if he tells on him but his teachers had a talk with him yesterday and we are hoping if it happens again he will go and tell his teachers. Of course Josh told him to "punch him in the face" which isn't a bad idea but probably not the best idea for preschool. I have a feeling Caleb and I are going to become good friends in the near future if he keeps this up. I told my mom I would have no problem getting in a 4 year olds face and telling him to leave Wade alone. Wade is so tender hearted and this has made him so upset. Hopefully though it will all work out his teachers will handle everything so Josh and I don't have to.<br />
<br />
We started packing a little bit this past week and oh my how did we ever get so much stuff. It is insane how much stuff you can have after six years of marriage and after having two kids. I have alsmost finished the kitchen which will be a huge help. I did get the dining room all packed except the furniture. We are getting movers this time who will move us into a storage unit but it will save time and money if we have everything boxed up. My goal this weekend is to finish the downstairs and get the attic mostly done. The attic is going to be a nightmare but we need to go through it all and have a yardsale. I know after we finish packing this house we will be so thankful that we are moving into our "forever" home. I will not ever want to see another box again. <br />
<br />
They started painting the outside of our new house this week and it looks so good. I can't wait to see it when they get it all done next week. At least the outside is going to look good even if the inside is a mess for awhile. The landscaper starts sometime next week and that is where we are going to see the biggest difference. The yard is so overgrown and I can't wait to see it all cleaned up. It will take them a long time to get it all done but I know it will be worth it. We still need to find a tree company to come cut some huge branches that hang down on the house. Josh's company is going to start replacing the gutters sometime in the next two weeks. They are not your normal gutters they are internal ones so it is going to be a big and expensive project but one that has to be done. I will be so glad when we get all the outside stuff done (and paid for) so we can start on the inside!! Can't wait to post pictures soon.The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-7579224343058373052013-08-28T12:25:00.001-07:002013-08-28T12:25:14.637-07:00Meet the teacher and a boo boo!Last night Josh and I went to open house/meet the teacher at Wade's school. I am SO excited for him. He is going to LOVE his teachers and they are really really getting them prepared for real school. He is going to have 18 kids in his class just like he will next year. There are 10 girls and 8 boys. Josh was working really hard on getting Wade excited about this ratio :) He has two teachers that will be in there all 5 days. Then he has three floater teachers. One will be in there 3 days (M,W,F) one will be there 2 days (T, Th) and one will be with them on Fridays. Basically he will have 5 teachers and three will roatate. I am so excited about his Friday helper because she was his 2 year old teacher and we love love her! He was so happy when I told him Ms. Susan was going to be one of his teachers. His two main teachers are fantastic and I really don't know the other two floaters well but I am hoping they will be just as great. He is going M-F for 3 hours each day and he will take his lunch twice a week. This is different because the last two years he has had lunch every day. On the days he doesn't bring lunch they will have snack time instead. He will also have chapel and music just like last year but they add science for the 4 year olds. I know he will love going to science class. I am so thankful for RLP and I can't believe this is his last year of preschool. Oh and just because this never happens my sweet/wild boy is napping today and has been for almost 2 hours. This is RARE around here these days so I thought I should document it!!<br />
<br />
My sweet baby fell today and had her first "big" accident. Now I should say I am so thankfully that our kids have never really had a major accident so to us a busted lip is pretty major. She fell off the lower part of the playground today when I was being "mom of the year and talking on the phone to our relator!" Talk about feeling horrible. I turned away for just a minute to grab my phone and she was playing on the lowest part where she always does and she lost her balance and fell off. Her little tooth went into her bottm lip but thankfully it didn't go threw it. It looks like she just bit into her bottom lip pretty bad. It bled forever and bless her heart she cried for a good little bit. Now let me tell you why this wild child was crying, after the first two minutes or so she was crying because I wouldn't put her down. Oh not because of the big gash in her lip or the blood pouring out, oh no. She was crying and reaching to get down and go play. This girl is crazy! I couldn't let her get down or blood when have been all over the playground. Plus I was a nervous reck after that and felt so bad that I turned away from her. I am so thankful she was just on the bottom part and not up at the top near the slide when it happened. Needless to say I have learned my lesson and I won't walk away again for a long time :) <br />
<br />
Our realtor is meeting with the couple who wants to buy our house again right now. I am hoping to hear from her any minute and hoping for some good news. Today is the first day in almost a week that we haven't had showings and it has been fantastic. I am ready to get this house sold so it can be messy again!!! Hoping to finally post some pictures of my sweet babies soon. I think I am in denial that they are growing up and I may always call them my "babies" even though I really have a preschooler and a toddler. However in about 3 months we will have a little baby in the family again. Ashley is doing good and Hayes will be here sometime around Thanksgiving. We can't wait to spoil him and send him home!! The funny part is he will probably sleep better than WK as a newborn. Oh well you win some and you loose some.The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-9277764257636400812013-08-26T18:26:00.001-07:002013-08-26T18:26:03.496-07:00What we have been up to!I can't believe it that we have actually stayed home the entire month of August. The last time we traveled was in July. We have had so much going on with our house stuff that we have really enjoyed not doing too much. We are heading to the beach this weekend for Labor Day. I seriously cannot believe it is almost September. I feel like Wade just got out of school and now he is getting ready to start next week. I am so not ready for Kindergarten. Preschool 5 mornings a week will be enough for me. I am really going to treasure this last year that I have him home with me-even if he drives me crazy some days!! I am sure it is hard for any mom to send their first baby to school but I think it is extra hard for me because he has been home everyday with me since he was born. Besides 3 hours in the morning here and there I have had him at home so I cannot imagine him not being here next year. Thankfully I LOVE the school that he is going to go to now and I know two of the kindergarten teachers and one of them just happens to be my sisters best friend. Her mom works in the office and helps with putting kids into classes so I am about 99.9% sure I already know who is teacher will be :) Tomorrow night Josh and I have a meet the teacher night at preschool and Wade goes for one hour with me on Friday morning. We are heading to the beach Friday evening and staying until Monday and he starts school on Tuesday. It is going to be a busy week. I am praying this house will sell before then because I am not sure if I can handle getting ready for school and picking up all before 9am.<br />
<br />
We have had a ton of showings lately and we have one couple who is really interested in it. We are hoping that they will make an offer. They saw it today and I have seen them drive by again this afternoon to look at it. Hopefully we will get some good news soon on this house. Josh took our application in today for the new house. We have to have all the work approved because it it a Historic house and it is actually on the National Registry too. It was a little stressful at first but once they came out to the house and we explained everything we felt a lot better about it. They approved everything we wanted to do today except the screen front door that we picked out. They said it was too "Victorian" and we should try to find one that was more "classic!" Talk about picky picky!! But we will do as they say because well we have too :) It's funny because I feel like selling this house has been stressful but we probably haven't even gotten to the stressful part...renovating with small kids!! I just have to remember that it will be worth it when it is all done. <br />
<br />
Wade said the funniest thing tonight and I want to remember it...he ran into my parents house and grabbed a couple of cookies. I said something to him about it because he had just had fruit snacks and he knew I wouldn't want him to have cookies also. He said "I am just a little boy and I didn't know any better!!" Pretty sure he had a huge smile on his little face too when he said this. He always keeps us laughing. Now that he isn't napping he always tells me at nap time "I am just too tired to rest" when I tell him that doesn't make sense he will say "yes it does mommy I am right-I am too tired to rest" then he will say "well what can I do then when I am laying there?" So needless to say we are working on this new stage of having quiet time daily. I am hoping once preschool starts next week he will be worn out and he will fall asleep some. <br />

Summer has just flown by and she is growing so fast. Thankfully she is still little and doesn't talk much or have a lot of hair so she really still seems like a baby to me. We are keeping this one "little" for as long as we can. Here is what she is up to at 1.5 years old.<br />
-weighs 23lbs (40th percentile)<br />
-height 31.5 inches (47th percentile)<br />

I can't belive you are one and a half. You are still our sweet baby girl and we love you. You are a WILD woman and you make us laugh all the time. I have to say you have the funniest little personality just like your big brother did at this age. You are so silly and so sweet and oh so stubborn. You always know just what you want and you have just started this screaming (loudly) thing when you aren't getting your way. You also will arch your back and lay in the floor when you are mad. We just think you are the cutest thing ever and you keep us on our toes all day long. We love you so much and love this crazy fun age.The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176228452920290477.post-83118677933646670662013-08-25T19:44:00.004-07:002013-08-25T19:47:55.933-07:00House part 1...Another month has gone by and I am finally getting around to blogging again. This past month has been CRAZY for our family. I have so much to catch up on. Part of this blogging break has been my computer issues but Josh bought me a new laptop and once we get it all set up hopefully the problem will be solved. Of course we won't tell anyone that he bought it in June and it has been sitting in its box since then. I need him to set it all up for me but that involves calling At&t because our wireless is acting up and we just haven't had a spare 2 hours to sit and talk to them on the phone. Tonight I am working and thankfully have a few minutes to catch up from my work computer. <br />
<br />
I have been taking pictures here and there of the kids and I will have a few picture post to catch up on once I get my new computer up and running. I don't even know where to start about our house stuff that has been going on. Somehow Josh and I decided that if we were going to move this would be the year to do it. Now when we moved into this house we planned to stay 5-10 years...I guess God showed us that he had other plans. I had been praying about moving here and there and we just randomly would search houses and go see a few here and there. We knew we wanted two things-a house we could stay in a LONG time and more land. We also knew that this next move was going to be it because we didn't want to move the kids once they started school and Wade starts next year. So we played around with the idea but did not put our house on the market. We actually made an offer on a couple of houses but those did not work out. The one house that we loved at first was just too expensive for all the work it needed. They ended up calling us back and telling us a mont later that they would accept our offer but once we went back and looked at it again we decided to wait. <br />
<br />
Somehow I got it in my brain that it was a great idea to try to find a house near downtown Apex. We LOVE downtown and I just thought "why not try" so I randomly called a few people in town that I knew and asked them if they wanted to sell or knew anyone that was thinking about selling. The thing about these historic houses is you have to catch them before they go on the market because it is a biding war once that happens. Well a few weeks went by and nothing really came up. We went and looked at 2 but they just didn't work for us. Randomly I called the owners of my old house and asked if they were planning on selling anytime-they had mentioned moving before to my parents. They said they weren't right now but that I should call "Miss Ann" who used to live two door down from us. They said that they were both not doing well and just couldn't keep up their big house. So I randomly looked up their number in the phone book and called her one afternoon. I told her who I was and where I grew up and that Josh and I LOVED their house. I asked her if they ever decided to sell would they let us know. Well God must have worked this one out because we talked for an hour and they had just been talking about selling. It is too big and too much work for them. I almost died....we walk/drive by this house almost daily and we both love it. I could not even believe this was happening. Ann has a very rare disease and cannot walk anymore and her husband Ron is not in good health either. It took a few days for them to talk about everything-he later told me "their heads were spinning" when all this happened. I don't think either one of us every saw this coming. They also told us that God planned this at the perfect time. Close to a week later they had us come over and see the inside of the house and we signed a contract that day-July 28th, 2013. We had seen the outside and talked to Mr. Ron about a price but we had to wait a couple of days until Ann was feeling better to get inside.<br />
<br />
I would have probably signed a contract without even seeing the inside but of course we waited until we got to go inside. We LOVE this house it is really our dream house and I cannot imagine that we will ever move. It is on .84 acres and has a garage and 3 barns/sheds on the property. It was built in 1900 and is about as close as you can get to downtown Apex. I will get to walk Wade and WK to school and we can walk downtown and get dinner. I have to keep all these positive thoughts in my mind because it is going to take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make this our dream home. One day though it will be all worth it.

It started out fairly smoothly but quickly changed. We quickly learned that this sweet couple is pitiful and needs someone to help them. They have two adopted sons-one they speak to often one they don't talk to at all (that's an entire post in itself.) They really have some finiacial issues and actually we are helping them by buying the house because they just can't afford it anymore. We did not tell anyone about this house except our parents until we had a signed contract that was delievered to the attorney's office. We knew this type of house/location would have caused a huge biding war and we really wanted to get it. This has proven true-since people have found out about us getting the house we have already heard all types of stuff like..."we stole it away from other couples that wanted it" So not true, or better yet "my dad was the only reason we got it" Not true again I randomly called this woman and she has told us we are the first family to ever ask about buying it. We have also heard good things about how people are so excited we are getting it and that we are fixing it up. I think people think it wasn't fair that it didn't go on the market but anyone could have stopped and asked about it. I think the timing was just right and she knew my family and that we would raise our kids there and not move. <br />
<br />
So we got all that worked out then they tell us they want US to find them a house. They don't want to use a relator but us. You can imagine my face. Here I am with two small needy kids and Josh who works long house and now we are there agents as well. This was NOT an easy process but thankfully we have found them one. They wanted a brick ranch near downtown Apex and wanted it under $175,000. This was almost impossible. Thankfully someone told me about a man who had just bought a brick ranch to fix up and sell. Here is how I know this was a God thing...I had met this man a few weeks before this. One day I was riding my bike near downtown and he was outside and I randomly stopped to ask him if he knew of any houses in the area for sale. He told me he was a builder and gave me his card and said to call him he was working on getting a house near downtown, I kept his card but didn't think anything else about it. Little did I know a few weeks later a friend of the family would tell me to call him because he just bought a brick ranch. I remembered that I kept his card and I called him and guess what. It is a brick ranch, perfect location, in their price range AND it already has a wheelchair ramp. Talk about giving me chill bumps. He said he actually thought about me stopping by that day but he didn't have my number; he was going to let us know about the house but I called him first. So he is going to fix up this house for them and they are going to move in on Oct. 1st. It is the perfect house for them. When Mr. Ron went over to see it a couple of weeks ago he loved it and they signed papers that day. Of course we had to have a little drama and the poor sweet man fell down the steps and hit his leg and head really hard. I have taken him to the ED twice since the fall but thankfully today he is much better. They have pretty much adopted us as their kids and they LOVE my babies.<br />
<br />
When I call Ms. Ann it has to be nap time because we talk a hour almost every time. She will ask "how are my babies doing today?" My kids love going over to see them and we try to take them food at least once a week. Today I went and got them some stuff from the grocery store and they are always so grateful. They really need family in the area but their kids are out of state. They are a little needy but I don't mind helping when I can. Mr. Ron calls us "angels" which clearly we are not but it does make me happy to know we are helping someone out. I am just so thankfully that they have a new house to move into. For awhile I thought we may never find them one. Of course Mr. Ron said he "never worried for a minute" when one house didn't work out because he knew this was part of a plan that God had for all of us. I agree totally. They aren't able to close on the house until Dec because of their loan but the sweet man who is fixing it up for them is going to let them rent it back from him for two months. <br />
<br />
Now moving them is going to be insane. They have 4100sq ft of "stuff" in their current house and they are down sizing to 1800 sq ft. I think Ms. Ann could possibly be called a "hoarder." All of the barns are full of stuff too. I know it all can't go with them but she doesn't want to sell it so I don't know what we are going to do with it. She is leaving some amazing antique furniture for us and I am SO excited about that. I am still hoping and praying they will agree to an estate sell for the rest of it or we may never get moved in. <br />
<br />
Here is the other part to the story...our house was put on the market about a week after we signed papers and it sold in less than 12 hours for full asking price. We were SO excited but nervous because at this point they did not have anywhere to go. Well I knew it was too good to be true but everything was going ok until the inspection. They didn't want to work with us on fixing things and they backed out. So now I am trying not to worry but we still haven't sold our house. We have had tons of showings but no other offers yet. Josh isn't too worried and I am really trying but it makes me nervous because we close on our new house in just a couple of weeks. Praying that our house will sell soon. We have started work to the outside of our new house but we won't be able to do the inside until we move them out. We are really hoping to be in by Christmas but we are sure if that will happen or not. This has been a fun, stressful and crazy ride that we have been on but I know this house was meant for us to have because of the way it all happened. We can't wait to raise our kids there and make new memories. I am going to be so sad to leave our house and our neighbors but we are only moving 2 miles away so thankfully we will still see them often! Hoping to post pictures soon of my babies and catch up on a few more posts. The Foltz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05464614569287150875noreply@blogger.com0
