Dinner with Friends and Families

Today, we had a dinner at Fisher’s house with Angela’s “girl group.”  They have been doing monthly lunches and get together activities (including the trip to Vegas) for years, and this will be the last one before we leave for Colorado. It was bitter-sweet for Angela.  It was great to see the families of all […]

Ben’s Big Birthday Party

Today, Ben had a big number 5 birthday party.  Brittany and Kirstyn put everything together for it.  They decorated the entire house and Ben had about 10 of his friends over!  They played a bunch of games and had a bunch of food and fun. Instead of having cake, Brittany had them decorate their own

Happy Birthday Ben!

Happy big number 5 Ben!  Ben’s birthday was today and he is SO excited to be 5!  We’re not quite sure why, other than the fact that 5 is older than 4.  🙂  What a crazy little boy! He has a big party coming up that his sisters will be decorating for so he can’t

Home Sold!

After only 10 days and about 15 showings, our house sold!  We are SO excited we can barely see straight!  It was crazy…  We had competing offers, one even at list!  The one at list was not a very strong financial situation and the agent had pulled out on our agent twice in the past.

Buckeye Basketball

Zach played well in his game today.  He got a couple of rebounds and got the Board Beast award!  He was SO excited! As usual, his team won again!  They really do have a great team and it’s amazing how little guys this age can play so well.

Our house went on the Market today!  We have been working hard and getting everything fixed up (wallboard, etc.), re-carpeted, dusted, vacuumed and ready to go!  Our agent came over and took all the pictures and we listed! We have a great brochure to help sell the home and we are praying that we get

Kirstyn Birthday & Zach Basketball

Today Zach played a pretty good basketball game.  His Ohio State Buckeye team is very good and they haven’t lost a game yet (they have tied one however).  He’s getting better by the week, but most importantly, he is having fun. He likes the friends he’s playing with.  I think he likes practices better than

Sarah’s Mission Call!

SARAH GOT HER MISSION CALL TODAY!!!!  We were SO excited!  She set up a time tonight where she had all of her friends over to her apartment (it was packed), and we got on Skype to watch her open her call.  She was very emotional as she opened it…  California Ventura Spanish-Speaking!  She couldn’t have

Interviewing Realtors

Today we had two realtors come over Leslie (who sold our old house and helped us get into the one we’re in now), and Chris (who helped us buy our first house).  They both made great cases to be our agent for the sale of this house, and are both outstanding realtors.  It was a

Busy Day!

Today was absolutely crazy busy!  Kirstyn played in one of her last basketball games (and did very well I might add).  She has really enjoyed the opportunity to play recreation ball to keep up her skills for hopefully making the Still Middle School Team again this year.  Kirstyn then went up to Metea and participated

Brittany at the Bulls

Today, Brittany had an awesome maybe once in a lifetime experience!  Her Seminary Teacher is a VP for the Chicago Bulls (corporate relations or something like that), and Brittany got close-up tickets for the game.  She took her friend Ian.  Angela and I drove them to the game, went out to eat, and then picked
