The last month

we have been doing lots in the midst of selling our house, trying to find a new one, packing and all.
Here are some pics of us picking blackberries at the blackberry patch, peaches at the peach orchard. Naomi and Preston loved both of these and could eat them all the time if I let them. Ha. I told Preston to pcik som so that I could take a picture and look what he did…went to pick some off the dead branch.

We also went to their first parade on main street. It was the Johnson County fair in Gardner all week and then on Saturday they had a parade. Naomi wasn’t a fan of the loud fire engines or horns but loved the horses and the band. Preston loved the little cars, the tractors, just about everything. He was so sweet to share his candy with his friends if they didn’t get any when it was thrown at them. I loved that. I would tell him to keep one of each then he would go and give it to his other little friends if they didn’t catch any. Can’t you tell it was hot. IMG_6176IMG_6192

Just had t put this one in because Naomi usually wakes up not so happy from her naps. I went into room this day and she was actually happy and wanted her pic taken.

This is from the fair when we went. Of course the loved the animals and Preston sat in the fire truck . The thought that was pretty cool. We had our once a year funell cake to share that was yummy!

P- You know what I saw last night at the special restaurant we went to
Me- What
P- Naomi had a fork in one hand and a spoon in the other
Me- Oh really
P- Yeah, she’s silly, maybe we can go back to the restaurant in 1 week or maybe when we move to a new house
Me- maybe
P- Ok, when we move to either Gardner or Springhill, Is Springhill far away?
Me- oh, its about 10 minutes from here
P- Ok, who is buying this house
Me- a couple, a boy and girl are
P- oh, are they just strangers
Me- yes, they are strangers, we are moving in 1 week
P-Oh, well when will you and daddy and God or Jesus help us find the right house
Me- God will help us know if it is the right house, he will show us the right house for us
P- Does he have a map?

Ha. Ha.

I have the funniest conversations with that kid.

He eats his waffle a little bit more…
P- mom, we have to go to the store today
Me- We do
P- uh huh, we have to get grapes because we are all out of grapes. Maybe we can go to Price Chopper, or maybe not because they may be out of grapes.

crazy busy…

We normally aren’t super busy with things we have to do but lately we have been. It is crazy. All to say that I haven’t posted much here lately.
Some things that have been going on are:
-we sold 2 of our computers and got a new one so I haven’t been on here as much due to that
-Pops and Ninny came to visit us
-Preston is really fast riding his bike now
-Naomi is trying to count to 10
-Makenna is having a major growth spurt and is eating like a mad women….ha. ha. She is also learning to take a bottle and after about a week of trying she is doing great and I think she may that more than the other right now.
-We (Josh and I) put together a Co-Ed softball team and have been playing in a Rec league the past 3 weeks. Man, sprints to the bases really aren’t as easy as they used to be but it is fun to play again and enjoy the game.
-MOPS should be starting shortly for this year and I am going to be in charge of the Creative Activities.
-Preston has learned his phone number and we dialed it from my cell phone today and let it ring at the house. He thought that was really cool that we were sitting next to each other talking on the phone. I haven’t taught him his address yet because it will be changing soon.
-and are you ready for this….we had an offer on the house, now we have a contract on the house, we had the inspection today and are planning on closing on it on September 1 if all goes as planned.

That is how you can pray for us…that we could find the house that is right for us at this time in our life and that all the little things (like when we will move, where to store stuff, where to stay if we don’t close on the same day, that whatever we offer on whatever house we choose will be accepted and that we can have a smooth transition) Ok, so maybe that was a little too much for (paranethsis) but oh well.
