so I know it has been awhile since I updated, but I thought I would share some of the weekly LO's I have done! you can at least see what we have been up to for the last month!!!!! We did celebrate Peyton's birthday int he middle of all those and all he cared baout was his Toy Story balloons {and they still happen to be floating around the house somewhere!}...Maryann and Marty came by to see us on Sat and Dave {old coworker of Matt's} stopped by to see us today! I painted a tree on my scrapbook room wall! Now all I have to do is paint clouds in Peyton's room and a horshoe in ben's room...it's just been too damn hot to do any of it this weekend!!!! you get up and it's already warm and it doesn't get cool until after 10 pm!!! we still have a littl ebit more painting to do, but that will have to wait as well until the weather cools down a bit....and Sam has until tomorrow to pick a room color!!!! or her room is gonna stay white!!!So I guess I will be working on those a little later in the week when it gets cooler! but her are the scrapbook pages to share!!! and hopefully I will start to get back on track for keeping up on the blog!!!
and you can see more of my pages here...

14 July

well tomorrow is the day!!!!!! and right now this is what our house looks like! everyolne is asleep and I am just chilling and watching a little TV since I know the next 3-4 days are going to be CRAZY! so Abby and Peyton are going to sleep over at Stephanie's tomorrow so it will just be Me, Matt and Ben :) so Ben will get to sleep int he new house for the 1st night :) I bet he will be super excited!His summer program is taking their weekly field trip tomorrow and they are going ot the Woodland Park Zoo! Ben is actually pretty excited to go! SO while Ben was taking a bath, I started packing up all the stuff in the kitchen cabinets {food wise} so when he got out and walked back in the kitchen and said "how are we gonna eat!!!!" I told him "we aren't!!!!"...then I told him we will be in the new house the next time we eat! SO we will probably treat Ben to dinner out in Mount Vernon tomorrow night! Well, so this is it for now...we will nto have internet until sometime late Saturday afternoon :) Wish us luck!!!!!!

WELL IT'S OFFICIAL...WE ARE 1ST TIME HOME OWNERS!!!! we started our walk through at 0800 and then by the time we were done with our paperwork it was 1130!!!! BUt our construction superintendent was super knowledgable and walked us through EVERTHING!!! feel much better after that! she founda few little nicks and scratches that needed to be fixed, but that's it! We went and had lunch at the Olive Garden and then went and did a little shopping and grabbed some school clothes from Sam and Ben on sale {never hurts to start early!} and then we went furniture shopping {more like furniture looking!} but we did find a nice sectional we liked that was priced really well, so we will see what we have left over after we get paid for our own move....we will be buying a fridge and washer 1st and everything else will be extras :) we did pick up a cute Toy Story 3 poster and frame for Peyton at Michael's! Matt actually found the poster and the frames happened to be 40% off....so here are the picsk from today...our door is painted, but I didn't get a picture because the painter was there to touch it up :)


































and I had to share these...this is a girl that I met online {her name is Misty} and oddly enpugh she is an Oak Harbor High School graduate! Born and raised in Oak Harbor~~~~ She comes to visit her parents, who still live here, every 4th of July! So we met up, chatted and had a Satrbicks {I had hot chocolate :)}....and I found out that after we move, she will only be about 30-45 minutes away so we will meet up again! SMALL WORLD!


and I went to check on Peyton last night {who actaully fell asleep BEFORE Abby and this is how I foud him! I thnk Abby covered him up all nice and neat and put his little animals around him, but I thpught he was just too funny actaully sleeping with his hand like that over his face!
