Life as we know it....for now!!

I know this is a bit behind as our life has been super busy and somewhat turned upside down. I think these pictures can tell you a story in itself so Im not going to explain:)

Me and the boys are currently living in my parents house and nick is living in lafayette for the week. We officially have our house, but the previous owners are not moved out yet, so we will wait until Friday to actually "move" in. I can hardly wait:)

Its Official

Well, our moving day is quickly approaching us. We are very excited and can not wait to move into our beautiful home. I of course forgot my camera the weekend we were home for the house inspection so I don't have alot of pictures and the ones I do are with all of the seller's belongings in them. So when I get some pictures of OUR home I'll post more.

We have a moving company coming on August 3rd to pack up our belongings and then will head out of TN on the 6th of August. We will close on the 7th of August and will actually not move into the IN home until the 14th of August. Even the boys are super excited and can't wait to build a tree house with their daddy in all those tree's and have a dog on all that land and run around the yard. Im even excited as well for them to be able to enjoy the yard and play play play!!!

Here are a few photos. Kitchen: one side of it...you can kind of see the peninsula on the bottom of the picture...this is where there are three bar chairs.Basment: this is one half of it...the other half is about the same, except it is wired for a kitchen area and there is a full bathroom down in the basement as well.I'll post more pictures and give you a tour once we are in our house and settled a bit:)

VBS Weekend

This past weekend we headed to a retreat center called Shocco Springs in Alabama for the Atlanta VBS. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed being with everyone one last time before moving back to Indiana. It was all bittersweet and we had a tough time saying our goodbyes to many of them as they have each found a place in our heart.

*If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Atlanta Church I highly recommend it....they are truly on fire for the Lord and welcome anyone with open arms*

Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Caden was just so tired one afternoon that he could not finish eating his lunch. He looked up at me and said "mommy, I am so tired, I just want to go to bed". I told him he could go to bed when we got back to our room. And before I finished my lunch, he was out cold!!

Our visiting minister was Les K. from Francesville and so their whole family came. It was really wonderful and their little Lana wanted to hold Liam any chance she got. She could always make him smile too. Thanks Lana for playing with him.

This is the group that was there....I think it was 83 people. This did include Athens church as well.

The younger kids sang a song for us.

The older kids did a very very cute skit. Let me tell you...these girls LOVE to act!! Naomi....you were amazing!! (she is the one with the white curly wig on...mrs. noah) and Sheree you were a great "stuck up"!! (Sheree is on the end with earrings and sunglasses on her head)

The kids playing leap frog in the hallways and then of course finding ways to get dirty:)...can't be outside without at least getting some dirt on you or your clothes wet!

Oh Chloe....Elijah is going to miss you so much! We love you girlie girl.

This is the newest addition to the Philip and Lana S. family. He sure is a tiny little guy at a month old. Welcome to the world Avery!

Last but not least...the boys getting in a little putt putt golf before heading back to TN.

Elijah decided the course was just way to easy and had to putt putt using only one leg:)

My Summer Do

So I decided to chop my hair and stay cool this summer. My neighbor Gina has a sister who is a hair stylist and she is in town and offered to cut my hair for me:) I was so excited and it was way cheaper too. I think she did a great job on it.

Yes, it is shorter in the back than in the front....but not a huge difference like some haircuts can be.

Also, I just had to post this picture of my boys...it just so happened that this past sunday they had on coordinating outfits and so we got a picture. You can't tell very well in this picture, but liam's outfit is blue and orange vertical stripes.

Yummy!!

Well, I know its a good idea to wait till your baby is at least 4 months of age before giving baby cereal to him/her, but I just couldn't resist. I always get so excited to feed my children something other than milk. With Elijah I waited almost 6 months before feeding him baby cereal. Caden I waited 3 months and Liam I waited 3 months and 2 weeks.

Liam enjoyed his first 3 bites of baby cereal and seemed like he wanted more...so I made 3 more bites and he enjoyed that too:). The next day he struggled eating it. Not that he didn't like it, but he was just fussy and once he calmed down he gobbled it right up.

One Last Visit

This past weekend we had Dad and Mom Waibel here for one last weekend of fun. Just think...they won't have to make that trip any longer to see their grandkids. We had a wonderful time. Thankfully mom took pictures as I did not!! On Saturday we spent most of the day on the lake.

Nick and I got in some SMOOTH water saturday morning as noone was on the lake, so we had fun wakeboarding.

Elijah is now skiing outside of the wake!! He does such a great job and loves it so much.

Caden is all about tubing with his mommy. Im glad he likes to go slow cause Im not much of a tuber. It just hurts! But he loves to go over other boat's wake's and go bouncing around. This is a picture after he just got bounced a good amount. Look at that face!!

This is Grandpa's hat that the boys loved to wear:)

Saturday night we had a belated birthday party for Caden.

Elijah, Caden and Grandpa made party hats so that is what is on Caden's head:)

Mom W. bought him a Bruster's Ice Cream Cake and boy was that yummy, but what was so funny is I put those "relighting" candle's on his cake and he just thought it was so funny that they kept coming back after he blew them out!!

Liam wearing his party hat as well:) I think he likes it?

Toothless Grin

He lost both of his top two teeth this week...and both are already coming in!!
