It's true, we are moving home!

It is really true, we took 2216 off the market today and it feels good to have it really be ours again. We have the townhouse/condo listed on the MLS www.brokerdirectmls.com/111132 and hope to be able to sell it, although we aren't holding out great hope. It is in the much better price range and it has a VIEW like very few other properties. I also have it on Craigslist and Zillow and our 2 "ex" realtors are helping to look for folks and spread the word.

We plan on moving home sometimes around Labor Day. I start work tomorrow so, we will see with Dad and I both working how much our bodies and minds can handle. I hurt already from moving boxes and painting and woke up to painful arthritis hands last night. Ugh... but we are excited to go home and put things away differently, like we would like, have LOTS of space, and to enjoy a DARK bedroom in the morning when we want to sleep.

And we have LOTS of room for you to come visit us!

The Clark Co Fair

We had a great time on a very HOT day at the Fair. Becky and I had not been in at least 5 years and going with children always make the fair more fun. We saw everything! Drew love the HUGE rooster, Katie loved the goats and Dylan just loved being there. Fat Baby, just loved keeping cool in the spray mist! It was a great day and Grandma got her caramel apple while the grandkids got cotton candy. Katie wanted to take my picture and told me to make a face, so... here are the rest of the photos... http://picasaweb.google.com/hightechmom/ClarkCoFair

Wii Fit is making us fit!

Dad and I adore our Wii Fit. We exercise nearly daily with it and are getting more coordinated and strong. Or so it says... :) And I love it when it tells me that my Wii Fit age is 36, 37 and 40 and then tells me what a young body I have!

Dad is REALLY good at the soccer activity and has several 550 perfect scores to prove it. He also is very good at the downhill skiing, having very fast times - about 24 seconds. I, however, am very good at the dance aerobics, the tightrope walk, and the rolling bubble down the stream. I can't seem to get the hang of the snowboarding yet, keep missing one or two gates each time! I can now ski jump very successfully too!

Another thing we really enjoy is playing Mario Kart with Misha and Amy! We are well matched and have so much fun racing each other! What a fun toy.

Houston July 2008

We sure had a great time visiting Jenni and Kevin and their families! It was plenty hot there and humid, and we are so thankful for air conditioning, makes it all very nice. Love those grandchildren! And great to hear that Kevin and Candace have a new arrival for Feb 09!

We love J and K's new house, it is terrific, and Lucy, well, I just adore her. She LOVES to run upstairs in the morning and find my bed and "play" by nuzzling my hand, or snuggling. We are buds. Ashley and I bonded over "pink toes". She hadn't had nail polish so I polished her toes and mine for our sandals and she was so happy and excited to have pink toes! Daniel is so sweet and cuddly and his smiles melt my heart. Jeremy is still very into his Thomas trains ( as is Ashley!) and drew me a very detailed Thomas picture and one of his house with all the rooms. Jonathan reads so very well, it was so cute to listen to him master these big words in the scriptures each night at scripture reading/prayer time.
