House remodel/Sale

So I didn't ever post about the kitchen remodel we did at our house.  That was back in March.  After the remodel we decided we should build a house, so we put our house up for sale by owner, and had an offer within a week!  It was all a little crazy, but kind of exciting at the same time.  For now we are living in a mobile home at Valley Furniture.  It is small and a little stinky:). But it really hasn't been too bad.  And it's been nice having daddy's work right next door.  The girls are spoiled and get to go to work with him fairly often.  There also isn't much of a backyard here, so the girls get to ride there bikes and scooters around the warehouses and they love it :). We have been in this rental since the end of July.  We are currently working on getting some land and will hopefully start building after the first if the year if all goes as planned.  Anyway, here are some pictures...

We were in this house for 8 years!  I brought all three of my babies home to this house so there are a lot of things sentimental about it, but I'm really excited about the future!

A kind of before pic of the kitchen laundry room.  We tore out the wall in the middle to make one big room

Sam worked so hard for so long.  He was burnt out!

Beautiful kitchen remodel!!!

The pantry we added in the remodel

A not so good pic of the front room of the mobile

This is the house plan we've chosen...we will draw it up with a few changes, including stairs for a basement

Lydie helping Sam work on the mobile...we've done a few improvements while we've been here

The girls riding bikes in the warehouse lol

Allie-ism of the day

Yesterday, when I was a little girl, I had a camera

She cracks me up

Play time with Daddy

Sam can't lay on the floor without an instant dog pile with the girls.  He's such a good sport about it and will take then for rides:)

As a side note I'm not sure if I posted anything yet about selling our house and moving out to a mobile home at Valley Furniture.  We are going to build a house, we are just searching for the perfect land to build.  Meanwhile the girls don't really have any outdoor space to play, so we resort to riding bikes through the furniture warehouse...

Allie Gator

Oh my sweet Allie gator!  She definitely keeps us on our toes!  She has a mind of her own like no one I've ever seen, but she is strong-willed and determined and I love that about her.  She knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it!  I know that will take her far in life!

This picture is Allie to a "T".  She just marches to the beat of her own drum:). In her hand she has all of her "stuff" including her "draw" (any pencil/pen and paper she can find).  She loves to write in little books and almost has her name figured out.  She gets the letters, just not necessarily in order yet:)

We recently took family pictures at a park over in Central.  Allie saw a butterfly just as we started taking pictures, and it was all we could do to get her focused enough to take a couple good pictures!  She was so determined to catch that butterfly!  She loves to catch bugs.  Here she is finally getting to swing on the swings after pictures were taken:)

She and Brooklee love to make forts...it messes up my living room and couches, but hey, it keeps them busy!  Lol

Big Sister Brooklee

Brooklee is such a good big sister.  She is a really good helper.  She has always acted so much older than she is, it's hard to remember that she is only 5 (barely 5) and isn't going to be little very much longer:/. I tell her all the time that she will always be my baby:)

Brooklee is definitely my mini me:). This is what I looked like at her age, but with brown hair:). She loves to pose for pictures lol

Here is a picture from her birthday party. She is really in to horses right now and got a heck of a lot of horses for her birthday:)

Here she is with her baby cousin Paige.  She loves babies:)

Lydie Bitty Bug

Here are a few random photos of our sweet Lydie Bug:). She has so much personality and definitely knows how to keep us smiling:

My sweet baby loves to say "cheese" and smile for the camera

It amazes me that I can put her in the cart like this and she will stay asleep in Walmart!

I could not get her bar girl mask from Halloween to come off!  She is such a goober!

She loved the tractor at Mema and Papas house

She had moved a paint can to try and open the door to escape:)
