Milestone for Mom

So yesterday I reached a little milestone for myself. I for the first time took ALL 4 of my kids with me to do the big Walmart/Sam's Club grocery run. I don't know why it has taken me almost 3 years since having 4 kids to take them grocery shopping but it has..... Probably because after having twins I had 2 babies with car seats and bringing them both would have left no room for groceries, so I guess I just got accustom to shopping with NO kids. I do have to say I like shopping alone much better but I thought I was finally time for me to GROW-UP!!!

It's Offical

After much anticipation we finally closed on our very first home. We are so thrilled to have a place to call Our Home and to finally feel like we can plant our roots. Are kids are so excited to have a backyard to play in and their very own rooms. I am ecstatic to have more space for all of our stuff and feel like we are not all on top of each other. I am going to miss our ward, the school, and the friends that we have made here this past 7 1/2 years, but at least we are only going across town. I will post pictures of the inside after we have done some work to it (it is pretty yucky inside right now). We are just so EXCITED!!!

Our Family Pets

We have 2 new family pets (Jason's idea of course) Sam & Sally. They are Ball Pythons, and the kids just LOVE them. I am warming up to them, but it was not love at first sight for me.

A Bright and Sunny Day

I just LOVE summertime. We decided to spend the afternoon getting wet and soaking up the warm summer sun.
