The time has come! By this time tomorrow we will be moved into the new house. The computers will be off-line from now until Monday so I guess any updates and pictures will have to wait until then.
We've got the truck, and we are pretty much all packed up, just a few more odds and ends left before tomorrow. We've cleaned off the garbage off the front porch, except for the couch, and the shed's been semi-cleaned out as well. The basement is going to be the biggest challenge for us. The mold factor down there is at an all time high. BLECH! (so happy to be moving!)
We have about 5-6 men from church coming to help us get everything into the truck. They arrive at about 9am and we are hoping to be done by 11 so we can be at the house by no later than 11:30. Then hopefully, there will be a few other bretheren from the new ward there to help us unload the truck. It might be questionable as to how many will be there to unload since it sounded like the ones in charge to fiding people to help waited until the last minute. PLUS, it is General Conference weekend so we automatically lose the missionary's help if a session is in session.
Either way as long as we can get our stuff up there then Joe and I don't care if we have to unload it ourselves. The biggest difference is that the old house's entrance has tons of stairs and is unusually high up with nothing but concrete or wood to trip onto. Just dangerous to move in and out of like this.
So we are excited to be moving into a new house with a lot of what we need at a price we can afford. Who doesn't like that?!
So this will be the last entry for the month. Be sure to check back next week for updates on the new house as well as pictures and videos of the comparison of the old place vs the new place. So until then take care!

Yes, we are moving. So far everything looks in order and we'll be signing the lease on September 30th. It's going to be an extra tight month but we're making it work for us. Absolutely no extras and only essentials and bills.
We'll be moving more north to the Flint area but really it's only about 35 miles from where we are now, and it's a straight shoot up I-75.
We're excited and so are the kids. the girls are excited about having their own beds and own room to share, and mom is excited about having a playroom for the kids and a fenced in backyard so she can have a bit more quiet time with all of the extra room.
When we've finalized everything and are all moved in then I will be sure to e-mail everyone with the new address and other important information!

Not much going on around here. Kaden's been going through diarreah. We took on the challenge of cleaning out the kids bedroom a couple days ago and found out they literally broke their bunkbed. It's almost unusable, but we are more upset at the shoddy welding which didn't hold up to the kids.
Planning on attempting my first garage sale in a couple of weeks. Since I don't have usage of a drive way it will all be out on the front lawn, so it will be interesting.
Jaylen is growing fast. She's up to 17 pounds already and is in 6 month clothing and she's just a couple days shy of being 4 months old. Oh and she is needing to move up into size 4 diapers extremely soon. I'd do it now if it weren't for the fact that we still have about 150 size 3 diapers around still. Although I suppose I could sell them at the garage sale, LOL. All of this mama's milk is making her grow nice, big, and healthy!
Mason goes in for his one cavity on Thursday. Joe Has his dental appointment next Thursday and I go for the week after.
Kaden is also talking as much as Liam if not more. He cracks us up with what he says sometimes. Just the other day we heard him call for Sariah and then he asked her to change him "Sariah, change me please." He's a month shy of becoming 2!
I'd like to add more pictures but I am problems with my FTP and my digital camera's battery died thanks to the handy work of Kaden and Liam.
Rachel is our learning princess. She is very much involved with her education. She's been very much into her math this week and her friends love coming over for help with their new homework too. Sariah has been reading more and working on her math skills as well. We started around July but with things going on around here we're going to be keeping things relaxed for the next couple months.
Not much else going on around here. Thanks for reading and don't forget to stop by our guesbook and leave a message. I've got a bunch of fun smilies you can use!
