Grandma and Grandpa with our family at World of Fun



I have not posted anything for awhile so I thought I would give everyone an update.  We are settled in with my parents and things are going well. We all have our own space and it is nice to have extra hands with the girls.  This last week we have gone to the park, the play center, the zoo.  We have tried to give my parents some quiet time.  Rob and I looked at 100 Open houses on Sunday and by the end of the day we were confused and tired and hot.  This is harder than I thought.  We went to a few more last night.  We have found nice houses in OK neighborhoods and houses that need work is great neighborhoods.  What is better?  I guess we will keep looking and figure it out?

We have a new address!

Love this picture of the girls hugging




I love this picture of the girls and they have been fighting a lot lately so I thought it would be great to see them hugging.  Well we have officially moved.  We have a new address and we live on a lake---- how wonderful.  Oh wait I forgot to mention we live with my parents.  Things are going well---- at least I think.  A and D ask where Grandma and Papa are when they are not home it is pretty cute.  We are looking at more houses tomorrow so I hope we can find some good ones.  Moving is STRESSFUL!!  We keep having to do one more thing and we will see how renting our place goes.  I went in there today and it was SO weird to see it SO different.  Different is good right???

1st Day of 4th Grade!!

Paige started 4th grade today.  She has a new Royals backpack and a smile on her face this morning.  She was not so happy last night about school starting.  She remembered that this year as a 4th grader she gets to help run the Seagull Supply Store so she was happy.  It is a store that sell school supplies like cool pencils, pens and erasers to the other kids in school.  I hope she has a good day and a great year!! 

Kansas City weekend

I am having trouble loading pictures and text so I am doing two separate posts.  We had a great trip to KC this last weekend.  Friday night we went to a Yankees-- Royals game.  Paige is a HUGE Royals fan and has a crush on Alex Gordon!  Rob is a Cardinals fan and I am a Red Sox fan.  Rob had never been to a major league baseball game.  He had a great time and was very into the game.  There were two rain delays and the second one was for two and half hours so needless to say we had to leave.  Not sure why the girls would not sleep for us that night :(
 Saturday we went to Worlds of Fun.  It was VERY hot but we had a great time.  The girls went on a few rides.  You had to be 36 inches for a few but they loved the ones they went on.  Grandma and I took them on a little roller coaster and they loved it.  You can tell from the pictures in the last post they were worn out!!  Sunday we got free tickets to a water park from a friend who could not use them.  It was an awesome water park and had a great little kids area.  Everyone LOVED IT!!  Much needed get-a-way!!  Now back to packing and moving!

Busy Weekend and House hunting!!

Abby and Delaney is their life jackets

This weekend was Crazy busy.  Saturday I ran a 5K.  I did OK.  I had a goal to run under a certain time and I ran 5 seconds over that.  It was really hot and I am just proud I finished.  I really am doing pretty good at staying with my running.  I just want to keep doing better and better. It has been so hot here I have not been running as much as I should.  No records set here but I am proud of what I can do.  I had a SUPER PROUD mommy moment this weekend.  Paige swam in her all City swim meet.   They divide the heats by time so everyone has a chance and she WON her heat on Saturday.  I was jumping up and screaming!  Rob did not know they got a ribbon for winning the heat so he thought I was crazy!  Paige's coaches were SO excited too!  You would of thought she won a gold medal!!  We went to my friend Angie's ( love her) on Saturday for her lake party.  She has a cabin and this is totally what I needed.  I relaxed and hung out with friends and it was SO great.  I know why she loves her cabin because you CAN relax!!  My girls loved it and it was such a nice day that we did not want to leave.  We had to go to Paige's swim team party that night.  It was fun and Rob learned how hard it is to keep track of them (the twins) at the pool.  They are so brave when it comes to the pool and Rob was amazed at them!!  Tonight we saw a house we really liked so who knows!  Life is good!!

Stress???

Older picture of Abby and how she "helps" me do laundry

Ok trying to pack a house with two little ones is hard.  I was a little stressed today.  Rob and I are so different in one area.  I start packing right away.  I hate waiting until the last minute.  I like to get everything done right away.  Rob does not stress about it and says we have plenty of time and it will all get done.  He is usually right but I still like to get going. So I have been packing in FULL FORCE!   Delaney tried to help me pack this morning.  Abby was not so happy that I was trying to pack.  She was mad tonight and yelled "NO" at me and slammed the bedroom door in my face.  I wonder how she will be as a teenager? We have a busy weekend.  I have a run tomorrow, then Paige has her City Championship swim meet, a birthday party at night.  Sunday a lake party at a friends and a pool party for Paige's swim team.  Next weekend we are going to KC.  I really hope Rob is right and we will get it all done.
