you wanna buy?

You wanna buy our house? It's pretty cute and amazingly clean, seriously this house hasn't been this clean ever, not even for parties that we have hosted.

Aah, putting up our house for sale has been tough. We have loved living here for the past 3.5 years. However, the time has come for us to move due to a job transfer. We love our neighborhood and our neighbors, seriously couldn't ask for better neighbors!
We love our house; the open floor plan, the bedrooms are wonderful with huge walk in closets.


It has been a stressful few weeks, trying to accomplish everything on our realtor's to-do list, de-cluttering in a big way, major cleaning, etc....now that stuff is over, and I can relax again in my very clean house.

The weirdest moment of the last few days was when I saw the for-sale sign staked in our yard for the first time. It pulled on my heart --

We're excited for this new adventure; realistic that it might take some time and hopeful that we will find some place new that we will love.

Halloween 2010

A Clone Trooper/storm trooper, master Yoda and Princess Leia


As soon as J decided he wanted to be a clone trooper, I knew we had to have everyone be someone from Star Wars.
The clone trooper costume I bought. Princess Leia's costume, what we didn't already have I bought plus we had to make the belt
and Yoda is handmade except for the brown onesie underneath.

Halloween was on Sunday however, we just happened to be in Utah and in Utah they trick or treat on Saturday.
The kids enjoyed trick or treating with cousins around Nana's neighborhood and the rain storm that we encountered
made it that much more of an adventure.
On Halloween Sunday we flew back home and they showed a few neighbors their costumes!

Yeah for the day you get to dress up and pretend your somebody else!
I have to say my kids looked pretty cute all dressed up!

Cute quotes from my K-girl

Baby was fussing while being pushed around in the cart at the grocery store.
K looked right at him with that cute smile of hers and said
"Don't cry, Jesus loves you and wants you to be happy"

and one more from this past weekend

While trick or treating K would call the door bell the 'ding bell'

Yeah I have to remember these cute moments especially
when she's in the middle of one of her screaming moods
(aka: temper tantrums)

A Reason to Smile

This has been a difficult week for us, as I'm sure it has been for everyone. That's why, I thought I post something to smile about.

Baby in the Pumpkin

Here's how this became a tradition for our family. Halloween rolled around a couple of months after our first was born. Renee wanted to carve pumpkins for his first Halloween. So the camera came out and off to work we went. After cutting the top off and scooping out the guts, I grabbed the baby and said, hey Renee take of picture of this. Renee and the baby were less then thrilled at first, but warmed up to the idea after a few seconds.

So baby #2 comes along and after purchasing pumpkins I told Renee and I was going to put the girl inside one. She told me there was no way, the pumpkin was too small. Accepting the challenge I started carving. Unflinching cuteness resulted.

So yesterday...

There will always be a part of you in me....

Love has no end
Love you papa
