Family Pictures

Did we get the picture files back from Mary Jessica yet? I want to see them!

House Tour

Some of you have expressed interest in seeing the house that Tyson and I are buying. Well, I talked to my realtor and he will swing by the house at 4pm on Saturday and unlock it for us. So, any of you who would like to come and see it, we can go then.

Guess what!

I come home today!

Just thought that I would remind everyone . . . actually I get home really late tonight and with my luck my flight will be delayed and I will really arrive early tomorrow morning, but still . . . the point is I am coming home!

EASTER PLANS:
Okay so for Easter mom has asked that the big girls (I guess I'm one of the big girls now) plan everything so that she just has to show up and not be in charge of anything... so this is what I'm thinking...

Friday will just be a play day... Liz I work all morning and then I'm in charge of my branch activity that night so you're welcome to come if you want! It should be fun...

Saturday... In the morning we want to do that Easter Egg Scramble thing but we won't make it there till probably nine thirty in time for the egg hunt... and then stay for hot dogs and then bring the kids home for nap time. After naps, so around three of four, we'll decorate easter eggs and just all play in the back yard and have a fun night.

Sunday morning we'll go to church at 9, and then after church we'll do a small lunch for the kids and put them down for naps (if we miss naps we're in trouble... trust me!) and then after naps we'll do the family dinner, so probably like 4:30, and after dinner we'll do easter baskets and have an easter egg hunt in the backyard... During nap time the big kids could hide the eggs in the backyard and put together baskets so that I don't have to do it by myself! We could do pictures sometime around six, after dinner when the sun is setting, We'll just do them in the backyard rather than trying to transport this crew somewhere... it's harder than is sounds and it sounds hard so just imagine! Then just a nice relaxing candy filled sunday evening!

That's all I've got... and suggestions?
The kids are so excited for Liz and Rick to come and have been counting down the days till easter so it should be a really fun weekend!

We got the house!

Just incase I haven't told you already, our offer was accepted! We will close on April 14th if all goes well...

Easter Plans

So, Easter plans anyone? I know that we don't like to have things too scheduled out but I am thinking that a basic outline would be nice...just so that we can make plans as well. So, when are Liz and Ricky coming to town? Do we have anything planned for Saturday? (We can take the kids to the bid Easter egg hunts at the park orthe zoo) What is the plan for Sunday? What time is church, dinner, Easter baskets fun, egg hunts, etc? Also, are we doing the family picture on Sunday and if so what are we wearing for it and where is it going to be taken? Just basically I'd like to know where to be when and I'll make it work. So, who wants to write up our outline?

Update...

So, I realized that I'm not keeping you all up to date on our whole home buying situation. Anyway, the house that we put an offer on over and month ago (and waited forever to hear back on) was taken off the market earlier this week. So, we had to start over. We went out today and found two more houses that we just love and went ahead and made an offer on one of them. Good news, this time it is owned by a person, not a bank, so we should hear back on our offer on Monday. Plus, if this one doesn't work out, we already have another one all lined up. About the house, it is a 4 bedroom 2 bath (half of which are down stairs in the partly unfinished basement) with a living room and a family room. We really like it. It is right by the Fred Meyer in Nampa. We'll let you know next week when we hear back.
