Our Saturday in the car...

Even though we received two offers already on our home, we still wanted to let all the scheduled showings for Saturday still come through.  They were scheduled all day Saturday starting at 8:30.  So we were up super early and out the door by 8. 

Our first stop was breakfast at Subway and then out to Lehi to check on our lot.  Unfortunately the weather was horrible, so we couldn't see much.  After a while of driving around, we noticed a tire was going flat.  We pulled up to a gas station just to find their tire pump was broken.  Our tire by that point was too flat to find another gas station.  So Das had to pull into the car wash and put the spare on.  His hands were frozen by the time he was done.

We found the nearest Big O Tires, and headed in to the busy waiting room.  1 1/2 hours later and several bags of popcorn....we were back on the road.

We decided to head over to Cabellas for some shopping. 

It was past lunch so we decided to introduce the boys to Chuck O Rama.  What Das refers to is Upchuck O Rama.  The big thing the boys went for were their wings.

They said this place is Heaven!

They of course had to have lots of dessert.  They could barely move afterwards.  We walked through a couple more Ivory Home models before we were finally able to head home.  So glad our house sold fast and we don't have to worry about showings again.

Jr. Jazz and Blue and Gold Banquet

 

One thing I am going to miss about this neighborhood is all the great friends the boys have made.  Ashton has been doing soccer and Jr. Jazz with the same group of boys.

The were undefeated until there last game.  They sure had a lot of fun. 

We attended our very first Blue and Gold Banquet of many to come.  Tristan goes to scouts every week and has really enjoyed it.  I love the scouting program.  I can't wait to see each of my boys work torwards getting their eagle with the help of their dad.

They served spaghetti w/meatballs and served cake afterwards.  What a fun night for Tristan.

Such great boys we have!

I hope they call me on a mission!

 

Potty Training 101

When we found out we were having another baby so soon, I was determined to get Logan potty trained.  I do not like the idea of having 3 babies in diapers.   

At first Logan treated his new potty as a toy.  And he will still use it to reach high places.  So we have to make sure to clean it out every time he uses it.  Otherwise we end up with a mess.

After a week we were so excited when we would find him going all by himself.  The only problem we have run into, is he has to run around without underwear on all day.  And when we leave to go somewhere, I put a diaper on him just in case.  Once that diaper is on....he thinks he is ok to just let it out.  But he now hates to mess in his diaper, so he takes it off to do his business.  And the last couple of days he has had underwear on, with no accidents.  Hurray!

Potty training is a tough gig.  It wears the little guy out.

 

Getting House Ready to Sell

 The last few months have been a blur for us with trying to get our house ready to sell.  I never thought the day would finally come when we put it up on the market.  Our first big project was the kitchen.

Tristan and Ashton were very good to help up get the cabinets ready to paint.  Das and I tried to get most of it done on the weekends but what we didn't get done together, I took care of while he was at work.

AFTER

We are so happy with the results of the kitchen.  We wish we had done it sooner so we could enjoy it before it sold. 

We decided to do the bathroom cabinets next.  A lot of our ideas were found on pinterest.

Our house went up on the market...and we were under contract the next day.  We were very happy!  They even offered the full asking price.  If all goes well, we close on the 10th of April.  From there we plan to move in with my parents while we build a home in Lehi.  Why Lehi?  We have heard so many wonderful things about the schools was a big one.  And Das's work, Xactware is building in Lehi as well and it will be done in 2014.  Both are on the East side of the freeway.  But we are still waiting on a home in Riverton that would be perfect for our family as well.  So we will just have to see what happens in the next couple of weeks.
