An exciting, but stress filled week!

I can't keep up with all that is going on in my life! Going to school, working, and taking care of a family is kicking my butt! I am so full of stress. This week my first class will be complete! It wasn't a hard class, but a lot of work. I felt I learned some valuable stuff...that's always good! I wish I had a break in between classes, but apparently they don't mess around! I forgot just how outrageous buying textbooks really are! What a rip off! Thank goodness for Amazon! I have found most of them cheaper! Dave is just as stressed out if not more! He is finishing up with some tough classes. He will be through in December and do his Student teaching in January. He is excited to be done and finally in a classroom!

Oh, by the way.....we are house hunting! We have been working with a mortgage company for awhile now and things are up and running! We were approved finally and looked at our first homes today! I never really understood the advice of you will know when you see it! Well, we found a keeper! We looked at 3 houses today, and found the one for us! It was a perfect house! I wish I had pictures to show you! It has 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and its' 2700 sq. feet! The kitchen was a deal breaker! Granite counter tops and stainless steal appliances....my dream!!! I also liked that all bedrooms were upstairs, but the laundry is on the main level. BUT that's okay because there is a laundry shoot outside the bathroom upstairs! Sweet!!! Anyway, our Realtor is checking on some things tomorrow and will call us when we can make an offer! We are excited! I have not slept all weekend!

Anyway, here are some pictures from our crazy week! Keep us in your prayers that all will go well with this house!

Happy Fall, ya'll! Well, doesn't feel much like Fall here in Arizona! It has been 97 for the past few days! Not much going to the Pumpkin Patch with it being so hot! This poor little pumpkin will probably shrivel up and fall off the table soon!

This is what I discovered earlier this week when Carlee was supposed to be napping! She is a little stinker!


Who me, a stinker??? Mommy's is silly! I am as cute and sweet as can be!!


Here is Peyton after licking a lemon! He's a silly kid!


Here is Peyton and Cody. We watched Cody and his sister Harli last Sunday so that their parents could go to the Dallas Cowboy's game! We are good friends like that!


Here is Carlee looking oh so adorable in her new outfit from Aunt Katie!

She loves shoes, but she hates to wear them for a long period of time!


She is losing her "baby" look! It makes me sad!


Okay so we are having hair issues! She won't leave anything in her hair! I try EVERYTHING! I think she is being stubborn! I will keep trying even if that means pulling what little hair she has out! Just kidding! I would never make her scream and throw fits just to do her hair:) I am sure my mom did to me! Look how I turned out! Hey, maybe that's why I have some wild baby like hairs that always stick up....Mama, did you rip my hair out when I was a sweet little girl like this?????


Saturday was a HOT day! Had I known it was really that hot I might have stayed home! My gym was putting on a Community Day with a bunch of games and prizes for kids! Here is a trainer trying to get the kids to throw this medicine ball filled with sand! We are going to have to work on Peyton's muscles!


Here's Kenzie and Peyton after they went through an obstacle course! Look how hot they look!


Of course there was face painting. I don't know why, but I hate face painting! It's a pain to get off if you leave it on too long! It's way beyond 24 hours and there is still a hint of paint on his face.....but then again Daddy gave him a bath....



He choose to get the basketball to be like his Daddy!
