August Updates!

At the parade

Fun at the beach!

Channing's bday celebration and the ranch

I have so much to update! I don't even know where to start. I still have pics from DC to update, but haven't gotten around to it. We went there near the same time we were moving, and it has all run together. Channing just turned 4, and is having her party this weekend. We celebrated with family last weekend. She is getting so big!!! And I just love watching her and Jaxson interact. They are starting to fight and bicker already, and it is hard not to laugh! We had a fun week last week..... we went to a big play land, and they LOVED it!!! We also went to the beach on Monday, just Juli, Tanner, and me and the kids. We had a blast!

WE'RE IN YEAHHHHHH!!!!

We are all settled (except for our disastrous yard and garage), and LOVING THE HOUSE!!! Yes- the floors are just as hard to keep clean as I thought they would be, but aside from that- I wouldn't change anything! It's wonderful to have a slightly smaller house to clean, but it is so organized and useable, that I don't even miss the space!!! And honestly, at this moment, I feel better than I have felt in 3 years probably. I am exercising again, getting dressed on a daily basis (big victory for me these days!), and really enjoying being with kids, cooking, and even cleaning!!! Hopefully this feeling lasts! It helps that the kids sleep all night almost everynight now, and they are both doing well by the way. Chann has an ear infection right now but seems okay during the day, and Jaxson is teething on and off. Good days are great- the bad days are pretty horendous, but I know they will pass. Here are some pictures of the interior of our new house. I got an entire week without the kids to decorate and put things away- so when they got home it was like extreme home makeover. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but that's how I felt tying up all the lose ends the few hours before they got home!!!
