I have spent the day making progress on our new house. We now have a completed front porch, all trimwork completed, and the cabinets are in. They are painting the trim now and will begin with wall paint on Wednesday. It is all coming together quickly here at the end. Today was spent running all over finalizing details. I chose light fixtures, ceiling fans, picked up house numbers, chose the kitchen appliances and a new washer/dryer, and went looking at furniture. It was a busy, but fun day. I hope it all comes together like I picture it!!! I have made small mistakes along the way, but so far, have caught them all and gotten them changed before it was too late. I just HOPE I have caught them all.
Cobe started soccer camp at Hope College today. He went from 9-3. Lisa watched the other 2 this morning so I could go to all those places for the house. Thanks Lisa!!!!! When I was done, we took the kids to Timber Town and played at the park for awhile. Until Miss Sass started up with her mess. Sadie has been a terrible two for the last few days. I can't pinpoint what her problem is, but she has been a tantrum throwing, potty-mouth talking, bossy, whiny little girl the past few days. I am hoping it will pass soon!!!! She is spending the night with Aliyah tonight, so thanks AGAIN Lisa!!!!!!
Lynette called me earlier to tell me about VBS at her church. We don't go to ours at our church anymore- unfortunately, it isn't that well-run, nor do the kids enjoy it much. But I had heard great things about Community's and the boys wanted to go when she called, so they are there. I thought with Cobe being gone all day to camp, that he would never want to go to VBS at night, but he was hip. He knew he'd get to hang with his buddy Dimitri, so he was all about it. We miss D!!!!!! And shocker, Brooks was all into it as well. I felt sure he'd chicken out with it being at an unfamiliar place to him, but I think he SOOOOOO wants to do what Cobe does, and this was finally his chance!!! He saw his buddy Luke right away, so he was content to be there as well. I hope they want to go all week because it makes for great free time for me!!! And best of all, Lynette is going to bring them home, so I don't even have to go out to get them. Thanks Lynette!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow Ryan and I are going to go back to the furniture place to make some decisions and hopefully place an order. Then Lisa and I are going to hit Kollen Park with the kids- if anyone is interested... meet us there! Too cold to swim, but looks like a perfect park day. We will pack lunches and head there for awhile.
We THINK Ryan sold his truck today- the people are paying tomorrow so there is always the chance that it may fall through. But we are praying that it is GONE FOR GOOD!!!! That would be sooooo nice!
Hope everyone had a nice Father's Day yesterday- we had a great morning at church, then headed to MJ's and Jim's for dinner, swimming and boating in the late afternoon. The kids had so much fun with their cousins, and I enjoyed gabbing with the girls.
Well, it is 8:46 so I assuming Lynette will be here any minute with the kids. Alas, my freedom is gone. Haha

I'm glad the boys went tonight, sorry about my mistake w/ Sadie, I guess I just keep thinking she's three b/c she is going to school in the fall! Hopefully the boys will go back tomorow for ya! See you in the morning, tell Brooks that Landon is looking forward to playing with him!
Sounds like you've been busy but it all sounds fun. My kids aren't going to VBS at church this year either, they are going to Hope College soccer camp next week! What time are you going to the park tomorrow? We have swimming and Tennis but will meet you if we can.
I am so glad that Cobe came to VBS tonight. D was so glad to see him. It was all that he talked about tonight. We really have to have Cobe over here very soon to hang out with D. I know that Cobe has a busy schedule with soccer this week, but soon! I hope the boys go tomorrow night!:) It sounds like your new house is coming together great. How exciting.
Community's VBS is so awesome! braelyn is in her second year there! I am sure I will see you there this week at some point!
Kollen's huh?
If Vera is less full of it tomorrow I may see you there. :)
Sounds like fun! I almost sent P to Community's VBS this week. But we had too many things going on. They have a great VBS program, so I hear. How excting to pick all that stuff for the house.
Sounds like fun!! I'm still trying to talk my kids into another week at VBS, but so far I can't convince them! Have fun at the park, we might try to go but it's almost 11:00 already so I might not have time to get it all together!!
I want to see the house soon!
