We're moving ...

After putting offers on 4 different houses ... one has finally been accepted! Yay! We started looking in February and finally have a winner. It has 4 beds and 2 baths, new carpet, paint and new appliances. It is in a good, established neighborhood and we will still be in our same ward (one of the requirements). The boys will still get to go to school with their friends too. This will be the 6th different place Tim & I have lived just in Concord. If everything goes well, we will be in our new home in about a month.

Caden's Preschool Graduation

Caden graduated from Preschool today. His class had a little ceremony and then celebrated with a potluck lunch and going to Pixieland. He was so excited about going on the rides. The morning turned out good. I took Sophie and Alexandra with me. We all rode the train together.

As you can tell - he could care less about his teacher's little graduation talk.
Caden with Ms. Melissa and Ms. Gina. They are the best teachers. (Miles also had them).
Caden rode the roller coaster at least 10 times.
Having a good time!

Preschool is over and Caden is MORE THAN READY to start Kindergarten. I heard that in Arizona they started all-day Kindergarten. I would like to sign up for that. He loves to learn and can't wait to start school at "Monte Gardens Kindergarten" as he calls it.

Enjoying the pizza

Something you might want to try ...

Tonight Tim & the boys are at the annual Father & Son's camp out. I've been bumming around the house not doing much. Alexandra is sleeping and I'm getting hungry. So I decided to order pizza ONLINE for myself. The first website I checked didn't do online ordering yet. So I checked out dominos.com and I placed the entire order online. I didn't talk to a single person on the phone. (I know that this is what April J. has been waiting for!!!) And they have a pizza tacker that tracks your pizza from the time you place the order to the prep, bake, box and delivery of your pizza. So cool!!

Stuck

Tim got stuck in traffic last night after a church meeting. He sat on the freeway for almost 2 hours before getting home. Read the story to find out why.

Recipe Holder

I am constantly looking for ideas for our upcoming Midnight Madness (which will be held in October). What you do you think of this project? It would cost about $5 to make.
Thank you to my friends at http://adheringthoughts.com/ for helping me with the vinyl and metal. I'm planning on making magnets to hold the recipe to the metal, but haven't gotten around to it.

Just blame it on the pregnancy

Everyone keeps asking me how I am feeling through this pregnancy. Physically, I am fine most of the time. I never had morning sickness. My lower back hurts most of the time, but nothing I can't deal with. However ... emotionally I am a wreck. I cry at least once a week. Sometimes more. And over little things too.
Example #1: Saturday I was at the baseball fields and I started to cry. Tim asked what was wrong. I said I was stressed out about some things going on in Relief Society. But why at the fields?
Example #2: Yesterday it was time to pick up Caden from preschool and I couldn't find my keys anywhere. I called Tim and he hadn't seen my keys. I couldn't find the phone number to call the teacher. I then called Tim's mom and luckily she was already in the car so she saved me and went and got Caden for me. By now I was 15 minutes late picking Caden up. I was so upset I just started crying in the front room. Everything was going to be fine the whole time, but I lost it for about 20 minutes.
There is also a sweet sister in our ward. She is 90 years old and she doesn't have much time left here on earth. (They are saying about 48 hours.) She has always had a special place in our hearts. I have to say that this woman is a firecracker. When I get old I want to be just like her! She has kept working at Tim's office until about 3 weeks ago. Tim's mom went to visit her yesterday. All this lady could talk about was how much she enjoyed Tim. And to top it off, this dear lady made us a baby blanket for baby #4 along with a card. Tim's mom gave me the blanket when she dropped off Caden yesterday. The tears starting to well up again.
So if you see me crying it may not be over anything at all. Just blame it on the pregnancy. (I'm sure Tim will be glad when it's over.)

Miles' Bobcat

Last night at pack meeting Miles received his Bobcat. He also earned his baseball belt loop. We did a special ceremony with the paint when they earned their Bobcat. Each of the colors represented different qualities. (But I don't remember what they were.) We are so proud of you Miles. Keep working hard!

Happy Brithday Girl Friends!

It's fun to have friends who are close to the same age when you are little. This morning we had a little get together and Janelle brought cupcakes to share with everyone because Zoe's 1st birthday was yesterday. I thought it would be fun to take a few shots of the little girls eating cupcakes together.

It was fitting that Alexandra was wearing a shirt that said

"Little Miss Cupcake" on it.

(L to R:) Alexandra, born March 12; Sophie, born April 12; Zoe, born April 30; Lauren, born May 17. Sophie and Zoe were totally into eating the cupcake. Alexandra and Lauren weren't too sure.
