New House...Old Friends

I know I haven't written about our housing status, because last time I did, I think I jinxed it. So, I'm writing about it now, because we are all moved into our brand new house! We sold our house, after dropping the price by over $30,000 when all was said and done. Like I said before, this market is nasty and unfortunately, home values kept creeping lower and lower. With that said, we got an amazing deal on our new house - and it's pretty close to the home. We were going to move out closer to Jason's job, but decided to stay local instead. So, we are in and I will post pictures later...when I take them.

We had our friends over the other night, which was fun. They literally live within walking distance, in fact the first time Tysen came over, he rode his bike with a six-pack of beer strapped to his handle. I would have paid money to get a picture of that. Freaking Rad.

Here's Tysen taking whatever the heck this thing is for a ride. The landscapers dropped it off that night, so they could begin work on our backyard in the morning.
Tysen again....he's sort of, um......special.

Here's Amelia's favorite spot in the whole world. What can I say? She loves my boobs.

Whoever Said...

...going from two to three children is easy is a LIAR. During my pregnancy, I was told that going from one to two children is the hardest transition as a parent. And that adding one more, for a total of three, to the mix is no big deal because you've already got the routine of multiple children down. Whoever said that needs. To. Be. Slapped.

For those of there out there that do not already have three children, hear me NOW. It is harder going from two to three, than one to two. Unless one or two of your children is older than 12. Or unless one or two of your children are in a coma. Then, you don't have to constantly worry about what one, or both are getting into around the house. Or out in the backyard.

Example #1:


The kids asked if they could "play" in the backyard. 5 minutes later, they looked like this because they were taking turns dumping dirt over eachother's heads.

Example #2:


Alivia was supposed to be "taking a nap." She decided that naps were soooooo yesterday, and instead opened a brand new tube of Desitin and painted herself, the walls and the carpet with it. Then she put on her lavender hat to complete her look. She is obsessed with lotions, shampoo, pretty much anything semi-liquid. She is also obsessed with smearing it all over herself and my carpet.

Wasn't it you Kathy who wondered if my children were always clean and perfect, because of the pictures I posted on MySpace? Well, here's the truth. My children would much rather pretend they are orphans....and I'm too busy walking around with a baby attached to my boob to do anything to stop them. They SOOOOO have my number right now.
