We Closed!

Finally after about a month we were able to close on our house! We went in at 10 am this morning and signed all the papers. I am so excited. They said that we could probably get the keys by 4 this afternoon if everything goes through. Which means we can get started on taking things over to OUR NEW house today! The big moving day will be tomorrow. So....Let the moving games begin!

Banks...ugh!

So, we didn't get to close today....
The bank we got our loan from failed to communicate w/ the bank that we're buying our house from about us wanting to close today. The only time that bank could do it today would've been this morning, but our loan bank still had some paperwork that needed to go through this morning....so, we have to wait until Monday to close. Which means...we can't move in until Tuesday!!! Have you ever heard of such a thing?!?!

We're Closing on the House!

So I finally have some news! We are going to close on our house on Friday, but we still won't be able to move in until Monday. For some reason I guess the money and paperwork won't go through until then. It's annoying that we won't have the weekend to move in, but at least we are getting a house!!! Anyone who is willing to help us either pack up the truck in Taylorsville, or unpack in Lehi you're help will be more than appreciated! And, of course you're more than welcome to help with both! Anyways, I am so excited to finally move into a house. Our apartment seemed to shrink after I had Connor, we are so crammed!

So here is a link to the pictures of our new home that are on my facebook. I really didn't feel like uploading pictures, so just click on the link! We feel so blessed to be getting such a wonderful home. Once we move in, any of you are welcome to come and visit. In fact, I am so excited to share our home w/ visitors!

15 Months Old!

My baby turned 15 months old on Wednesday! Today was his 15 month check up. Poor little guy had 2 shots and a prick of the finger. He did not like it one bit! While we were there he was non-stop! He would not stay still, he tried to jump off the bed several times, he tried to run out of the room, play with their computer, and anything else he could get his hands on. He is a very curious and energetic child, he sure does keep us busy, but we love him.

Here are his stats:
*15.1 month: 20.19 lbs 4%; 31 in 47%; head 18.9 in 74%
12 month: 19.4 lbs 7 %; 29.72 in 49%; head 18.9 in 90%
9 month: 17.5 lbs 8%; 29 in 76%; head 18.3 in 83%
6.4 month: 15.19 lbs 8 %; 26.25 in 34 %; head 17.5 in 65 %
4.4 month: 13.75 lbs 19%; 25.75 in 71%; head 16.9 in 63%
2 month: 10.75 lbs 26%; 23.25 in 60%; head 15.7 in 48%
2 week check-up: 7.81 lbs 24%; 20.75 in 54%; head 14.6 in 48%

He's about 4 lbs under weight! He hardly gained any weight in 3 months. So, to fix this, I am now required to put him on a high calorie diet, the total opposite of what we all try to do for ourselves. I am to put butter and cheese on anything possible and mix heavy whipping cream into his milk each day. So, I have to try and fatten my boy up, he's too skinny for society :)

The next few pictures are from the past few weeks.

I had Connor lying on this boppy earlier today and later found Cade lying on it with Connor's blankets. He was sure loving life!

Trying to read.

He loves getting into things...here he climbed into the dryer!

I mentioned in an earlier post that he loves carrying this float around with him everywhere he goes. He is such a funny little kid, we sure do love him!

I'm Done!!

Today I was able to pay off the last of our hospital/doctor bills!!! I am so excited, it's so stressful knowing you have so much to pay. Babies cost so much! Thanks to Fidelity Security Life Insurance and Aflac I was able to pay the bills and have a few thousand left over!! :) Which will come in handy with getting our new house and furnishing it. It feels so good :)

This Past Week.

These are my little Children's Place models! I thought they looked so adorable yesterday for church. Thanks to Momma, Amy Greene and Bonny my children are two very nicely dressed boys on Sundays :) Thanks ya'll. This was after lunch and naps so they looked a little rugged, but at least I got the picture, and amazingly they were both smiling and looking at me! Crazy! (This was also the only picture I got with Cade being nice to Connor or not climbing up the chair, he's a wild child!)

Saturday night I had Cameron give Cade a bath and I walked in on this haha. Cade was having a good ol' time in the bathtub with his new float. He drags this everywhere with him through the house!

Me with my baby!

I made my first Chicken Alfredo Pizza Friday night! It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I joined this website, for free, that makes a dinner calendar for me, or I can make it myself, and then comes up with the grocery list for each week. This was one of the recipes they provided. http://www.simplifysupper.com/ I've used it for almost a week now, I'm really liking it so far.

Dallas came to visit us Tuesday - Saturday. We had a great time with him here. I think he probably took Cade to the pool with him everyday he was here. He was so helpful with the boys. He even watched Cade one morning for me while I slept in, I actually didn't even know they were awake.

Dallas with my boys. I couldn't get them all to look at me at the same time. At least this picture they're looking in the same direction, at the t.v. haha.

I also gave Cade a haircut, the 1st time I did it all on my own. I think it turned out alright, Cade on the other hand, I don't know if he really liked it. ;) No, he actually wasn't crying like this the whole time, I was finished and I think I took the clippers or something from him so he was mad.

House Update

They gave us a counter offer asking for a little bit more money than what we offered....We're gonna do it! It's ours if everything works out...you know the financial stuff like the loan and stuff. Yay!! I hope everything does work out, b/c I looove the house. I'll put up pictures of the inside of the house if we for sure get it.
