Christmas pictures!

We did our Christmas pictures yesterday! Thank you Uncle Coco for doing them for us. Larry left today for Canada so we only had a few days of him being here with Christmas decorations up. We got some good ones and some funny ones. Hunter wasn't the greatest with the photo op but Grace was a champ until she had enough or we were yelling to many instuctions at the kids. Nathan was a trooper too and we did it! I just ordered my Christmas cards last night at Costco and already have them in my hot little hands. I think they turned out pretty cute but I am biased since it is my family. I will try to post some pictures form the photo op extravagance soon but I updated my blog with some of them. Grace was the smiler of the two of our kids that is for sure. Hunter wasn't on his game and was more about where his Papa was. But can you blame him when he only saw him for 8 days?!

Here is the only good picture either I took or Larry did not sure but it came from our camera. It isn't the one on our card but I should have put it on it cause I think it is pretty cute and they both are so happy! I love their cheeks and their sparkly eyes!

Selling!

I finally got our house up on RMLS with pictures of it! Yes, we have had it on RMLS for over a week with out pictures of our house but not because I wanted it that way I just didn't know I had to post more on a different website. We are trying to sell it on our own to save money so we are using an internet company to help us and I have already learned that I gotta check out everything to make sure I didn't miss anything.

It is kinda wierd to know that people are actually looking at our house to buy it. No, no one has come by the house yet but just knowing that it is on the WWW is just crazy! I hope that it doesn't take forever to sell it we are giving ourselves 6 months and if it doesn't sell than it was meant to be and we will have to figure out what to do with Grace she might just be sharing a room with her bro.

Speaking of Grace...she has learned that it is SUPER cool to take toys and books of the shelf one at a time and throw them on the floor. Nice, huh?!

Hunter had a low grade fever tonight and had his first dose of Ibuprofen so not sure if this is the start of the sickness for him or not. Both kids have had snotty noses and coughs since last week.

Me, I am good. I am powering through. Working, cleaning, playing with the kids, and cleaning some more cause you know you gotta keep the place clean just in case you get a call that someone wants to look at your house! Only 3 more "sleeps" than Larry will be home! Yeah! I can't wait!

Tenting!

I love this picture of the two kiddos! I brought out Hunter's tent to have them play in since it was pouring cats and dogs outside and Grace loved it! I haven't brought out our IKEA tent (Hunter calls it the polar bear tent not sure if I told him that?) for about a month or so just to get Hunter more excited to play with it little did I know that both my monkey kids would have fun giggling in it and reading books. Aren't they just hams?! I think they look alot alike in this pic.

Grace standing in her crib!

Here is a video I took of Grace a couple of weeks ago when she went from an easy baby to but down to sleep to a very curious stander and not a sleeper. This wasn't the night she started this put I caught her on camera the next night. Not sure if you can tell but she thinks she is the bomb in the video cause she is a big stander. Enjoy the video and sorry I am talking in it but I was getting her to smile for you all! So please enjoy what I have to go through each night minus the sleep sack she currently uses which she can still stand up in mind you! I also got her to growl on camera too! She is such a hoot!

My kids!

These two just make me smile!

10 months old!

My baby girl is not a baby anymore! She is crawling closer to 1 years old! She loves to crawl all over and is done with the walker it makes her mad just getting in it. She loves to play with all of Hunter's toys and loves getting into everything she isn't supposed to and tries to get into everything every day. She loves to laugh and growl. She still only has two bottom teeth and loves her brother to pieces. She loves to eat and can eat forever! Time sure does fly especially when you are chasing two busy children! Happy 10 months old Grace Bell!

My Dragon and Ladybug!

Here are my kids in their Halloween costumes! Hunter was a dragon but technically it was a dinosaur but he called it Dragon Tails from the cartoon but I have never let him watch that so he must get it from Daycare cause I don't even know what it is. His costume is borrowed from a patient's kids at work and Grace is a ladybug my mother bought her costume! They were totally cute and Grace was too tired to be in hers so that is why she has her pacifer in but she kept the hat part on. Hunter didn't like the hat part cause it was to small.

On the Market!

Saturday we put our house one the market! It seems strange knowing that people might actually buy our house. I know I am way ahead of myself but still I have never sold something this big! This was our first house and we have done so much to it and it looks TONS better than it did when we bought it! If I have time this week I will try to show you all the before and after pics our family totally know what has gone into this house because they helped numerous days putting it together for us before Hunter was born. We painted every wall and put in new carpet and new hardwood floors and new hardware and lighting. I hope we can sell it and make someone happy to live in it like we have. We just gotta move cause Grace needs her own room and Misha needs a backyard to hang out in. We are selling our house on our own just for financial reasons it is spendy to have a realtor so we are going to try to do it on our own for 6 months and than go from there. We have no clue what we are doing but the doctor I work for her and her husband came over and helped us with what websites to use and what to do with our house and took pictures for us of it to help us out. I seriously think that God wants us to move forward with selling it because things just have been falling into place. We got sod for our backyard that was an unfinished project! Thanks Corey and Lindsey for that! It was Corey's bday present and he had to much and would you believe that it was just enough for us and a little left over! I have had so much help and advise from the people I work with about selling this house. I have a potential house offer in Canby on a house that is way to expensive for us but just maybe it will work! Not giving up on that but at least I have something to maybe try if we do sell this house. So here I am in a nice decluttered house just waiting to see if someone will buy it! We should have an RLMS number soon in about a week and than will see if we get calls until than I will just be a crazy cleaner and make sure my kids, cats, and dog are out when someone comes to look. The hard part of this is Lar is in Canada for work, Hunter hates the vaccum cleaner, Grace is all over the place so I have to clean around them and mop when they go to bed and vaccum when I put them in the car in the am, and coordinate where the animals go if someone calls. But you know it will be worth it ALL when this house is officially sold and hopefully it will be this year and before Grace turns 1! I will keep you all posted about it though!
