Is this really happening?

We did it.

We found a house.

To buy.

4 years, 3 states and hundreds of houses later.

4th move in 4 years.

We are almost there.

More details to follow :)

freakin' dust

Apparently the dust storm of the century made international news. I am guessing you may have heard about it by now.

It. Was. Crazy.

I got the thrill of having to drive in it. Zero visibility. Wind like a hurricane (I'm guessing). "They" say you should pull over and turn your lights off if you are in the midst of it, but with zero visibility that's pretty hard to do. You can't see where you are, how do you know where to pull over?!

I love monsoon season, but I could really, really do without the dust. Please and Thank You.

The Fourth

I love the fourth of July.

Love it.

So do the boys.

"Firecracks" and all.

The fireworks go up in the sky (Spence) and then make this loud sound (Mase)

"I'm a little big"

Mason's birthday video! It isn't the smoothest viewing via Blogger, but at least you get the gist of it. 

And just like that, he's three

Mason is three - can you believe it?! He likes to remind us by saying "I'm a little big". He has grown so much over the last year it's unbelievable.

We had an awesome birthday celebration for him that lasted from sun up to sun down. To add to the excitement, Zach and Grandma were here visiting. As part of the birthday celebration we were able to go to a special VIP screening of CARS 2 (Mason's first movie at the theater). He was ecstatic :)

House Hunters

House hunting is...exhausting. It starts out super fun, but somewhere along the 500th house, it bites.

We started on a new house hunting search about 2 months ago. Still. Nothing.

I don't know what all this info on the news is about, saying the housing market is so terrible. Not in the area we are looking. Houses are selling like hotcakes.

Our Realtor asked us how long we'd been looking for a house. I think we scared him a bit when we said "4 years". Ooops. 4 years, in 3 different states and we still don't feel any closer.

The boys have seen our realtor so much they have come to really like him. Spence asked the other day while we were out hunting "What if we were Brian's kids?" (Brian is our realtor). I said, "well, then you wouldn't be our kids" and he said "Well what if I was his kid and Mase was still your kid?"

Uhhhh, perhaps a little too much time house hunting.

Hopefully we'll find something soon. We are sick of looking.

We'll keep you posted.
