Back Again!!!

Well I am going to try this blogging thing again. 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...

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
