For SALE and SUMMER fun

I know it has been a long time. We have been doing fun things, but I keep seeming to forget the camera or I am just too tired by the end of the day to make a post. So I have some catching up to do. I am doing good just can't wait for this baby to be here. I really thought it would go fast but it hasn't. I think that it is because I have basically been pregnant since last July. The baby is doing great and is always kicking me. Alex has started the count down he can't wait either. He is the one most excited to read what to expect when expecting. He loves to look at the pictures and see how big the baby is getting. He is quite the interesting boy. In other news our for sale by owner sign got stolen and I had made up my mind that we were staying put. Well then about two weeks later Jeff's work finally said they were going to give us more incentive to move. So now our house has officially been on the market since this past Monday. We have shown it 4 times already and have 2 offers. It is crazy! I am feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Keeping your house spotless while pregnant and having two kids is hard work. Plus this happened so fast we did not expect an offer so soon. I am having a BABY! It wouldn't be bad if we were relocating in the same area, but the idea of moving around my due date is just very stressful. So we did finally say that whoever buys our house will have to wait until Nov 16th to either close or at least rent back to us until then. So I could have a two week old when we move, but at least I don't have to worry about where and who will deliver my baby. So who knows if these offers will work out but it is very encouraging to know that someone besides us likes our house. Here is a picture of it for those who have never seen it. If you want to see the listing you can look it up on Realtor.com if you know our address to see more pictures.

It has been a really great 1st home and I am actually quite sad about leaving it So many great memories were made here.

As for the rest of the summer so far we have had lots of play time. We got to go to Lake compounce with Alex's cousin, play in lots of sprinklers, slip in slides, and pools. Alex learned to ride his bike with out the training wheels. He did so great, we kept telling him it was going to be hard at first but he just took right off and didn't even need us. So sad. Mason is a movie quoter. He loves toy story and is constantly quoting lines from it. The one he does most goes like so " You killed my father. I am your father. NOOOOOOOOO. Then he dramatically falls to the floor. So funny! So here are some of the pictures that I actually did remember my camera for. Hope you enjoy. And sorry this is so long.



Alex learning to play baseball with out using the T. He was doing pretty good and actually almost knocked me out with a line drive. Scary!
Mason did great too.

We went peach picking with our very best friends out her. The kids loved it.
The place where we went

The kids were so worn out by the time we were done. They all just wanted to take a nap right there on the ground.

My kids favorite thing to do on a nice day is to take the train a couple of stops to a great park that is right off the train station, have a picnic lunch, play and then ride the train back home.
