Yard Sale

We are going to be having a yard sale tomorrow morning at my house at 7 am for anyone who would like to come and check it out. I am trying to clear out as much as possible before we sell our house!! I have got lots of kids items (boys in particular) :), some Game Cube video games, lots of house odds and ends, and even some vinyl lettering that is priced to sell! Stef is also bringing some things over to sell.... that is if I don't buy up all of her stuff first! :) I know that she has got a great 9 foot Christmas tree that she is parting with. So come on over, if you don't want to buy anything at least come and keep us company.... because I KNOW you are all going to be out at 7 on a Saturday morning! ha ha

A busy month

The end of September was spent in Tuscaloosa house hunting and enjoying Charles' work picnic. The kids had a great time, and Charles and I came home feeling especially tired.

It seems like October just started and here it is a third of the way through the month already! We are doing well at our house, busy, but well.

The month started off with Carsen attempting one of his daredevil feats and ending up in the emergency room getting his head stapled. He cried for about a minute and then was fine the rest of the night. I kept thinking that at least something good would come out of this and C wouldn't attempt another stunt like that again... I was wrong. We hadn't been home 30 minutes and he was doing the SAME THING.. only this time he was trying to get Parker to participate too. What am I going to do with this boy?! :)

Parker is still your typical two year old. You know.... He doesn't need help with ANYTHING and no matter how many times you tell him something isn't a good idea, he just has to try it anyway. He is a very independent and determined little boy who knows what he wants and how to make it happen.

Griffen is growing every day! His favorite place to be is cuddled in my arms, and while it definitely makes it harder to get things done I have to admit I love to cuddle with this little guy. He has also found his hands and likes to shove his whole fist in his mouth.

We, or I rather, have been keeping busy by trying to keep the house clean and ready to show at a moments notice. The boys have been keeping busy by making sure that I have something to clean up at all times. :) I have decided that my life would be very dull without these little guys keeping me on my toes.

Fall is here!!

And we couldn't be happier! This is my absolute favorite time of the year and I am going to enjoy every minute of it. Carsen is excited for his birthday, which is just a few weeks away. And of course the bigger boys are excited for Halloween. The shirts they are wearing glow in the dark and I have caught them shut up in the bathroom multiple times today! I love these little guys! :)

Two Months Old!!

I honestly can't believe that it has been two months since Griffen joined our family! In some ways it seems like he has always been with us... I can't remember what our lives were like before he was born. But at the same time I keep thinking that there is no way that he is already two months old!! All of you moms out there know what I am talking about! :)

Griffen is still just about the sweetest little thing in our world... He is a super happy baby as long as he has a full tummy and a set of warm arms to cuddle up in. He has really chunked up and I am looking forward to seeing how much he weighs tomorrow when he goes to the doctor. He has started smiling more often and I was able to catch a few with the camera the other day.

Getting so BIG!

Look at this little chunk

"Yeah mom I might smile for you"

Hmmm almost there

" You are WAY too funny mom!"

Trust me when I say you don't want to know what I had to do in order to get this boy to smile like this! :)

Quick update

Once again I find that I am short on time, and so once again all I've got are a few words and some pictures! :) We are going to be listing our house tomorrow and so now the fun part begins... waiting. If you know anyone who wants to buy a house please send them our way! :)

Here is what we have been up to the past month or so...

Some of us have enjoyed bath time

Some of us have not!

Who needs a horse when you have an Uncle Wesley?!

Such big eyes for a little boy!

Help Wanted

Well, it looks like we will be officially putting our house on the market within the next couple weeks. This has left me feeling very relieved, excited, nervous, but most of all OVERWHELMED!! So overwhelmed that I am doing something that I have such a difficult time doing... asking for help. :)

Of course I want to do everything I can to help our house sell ASAP and so that our family can move to Tuscaloosa with Charles, therefore I need help "staging" the house for sale. I have a few problem areas that I haven't a clue what to do with and I know there are some super talented ladies out there that might be able to lend a helping hand.... So, there it is my plea for help! :) I only hope some brave soul is willing to take on the challenge, because trust me I am a challenge... ha ha

A quick update

I don't have a whole lot of time and so I'm sorry this isn't very detailed! I just wanted to let everyone know that we are doing well, and to share a few pictures with you all! Here is Griffen doing something he almost never does.... cry! For the most part he is a very content baby and has fit right in with our family and our lives.

Here is baby G laying on his blanket that he got from Nucor

And last but not least... Here is Carsen on his first day of Preschool!! I can't believe that he is old enough to be sent out into the world without me for 8 hours a week :(! It is so nice to have a little bit of a break, but at the same time I have missed him terribly while he is away!
