Get to go to Utah

WOO HOO!!

Madyson and I get to take a little trip next month to Utah. Chris and Karlie are getting married April 8th! I am so excited that I get to be there for their special day. Wish the rest of the family could make it too...next time we go hopefully. Also, can't wait to see my new little nephew that should be here any day, second. Liz was due yesterday, March 13th!

Moving along

We enjoyed celebrating Grandma Jeanette's 50th and cousin Chase's 1st birthday over the weekend! Here are a few shots from the party. I made Jeanette's cake and Brandon helped me get it in the dish and ice it. It turned out great!

The kids got to have a balloon from the decorations and Kaden's flew away...

He got another one and was much happier.

Little Mady cheesing it with her cupcake.

We have a secure contract now on our home. We are soooo excited and hope all goes well with the loan now. We close April 15th!

Life!

Just took the pictures off my camera from the last two months and there are soooo many cute ones. This is my favorite! It's from Brandon's birthday(Fri, Jan 28th..he turned 28!)... hopefully I can get some more on here soon!

Life is just cruising along for us. We've had some ups and downs in the last couple of months, but we are anxious and excited about the future. We have been looking at homes for about a month. We made an offer on one at the beginning of Feb and it fell through. We have found another one that we like. We made three offers before they accepted, so we are rolling with that process now and it is crazy but exciting! Here is a link to the home: http://www.mlsfinder.com/tx_ntreis/kw_92/index.cfm?action=listing_detail&property_id=11550309&searchkey=76f8411a-aeec-fc84-b998-18e855f3a333&npp=32&sr=1

We hope all goes well and that we can move into our new home towards the end of April. Brandon is working a lot and trying to get ready for the GMAT that is on March 26th! The kids and I are staying busy as well and loving the warmer weather. Kaden and Sarah ask me almost every day if the pool is warm enough yet. We spend a lot of time at the park. It is just a beautiful time of year hear in Texas.
