{Bye, Bye} Weston Lakeside!

See ya Weston Lakeside Apartments!  You've been a great place to land while our house was being built, but it's time move to our new roost!  There are lots of things we won't miss 1) Apartment Living ~ wall to wall furniture  2) Being quiet ~ especially hard for a certain boy named Camden  3) Lugging grocery bags up stairs!   We will miss 1) Smaller areas to clean  2) Taking the elevator (Camden & Bexley's Fav)  3) A pool and playground steps from our door!  So time to pack because tomorrow is MOVING DAY!!!

{Closing} Day!

We closed on our house today!  YAY!!!  It's finally ours!  I can't wait to get in there, start decorating and making {Our Little}Family memories!

{Foot} Surgery

Camden taking a pic of me while I was reviewing the pics I took.  Not too bad, huh.

{My Sweet} Temporary Cast!

Have you ever dropped a knife on the floor while cooking and thought, "WHOA, that...was...close!"  I almost had that moment a week and a half ago.  I was cooking, dropped the knife and cut my foot (right below my big toe).  We went to Urgent Care, got stitched up and thought that would be the end of it.  A few days later after finally being able to walk on it I noticed that my big toe wasn't moving.  I went back to the doctor and come to find out I sliced the tendon too!  YIKES!  So today I had surgery (and even was in my 1st earthquake) and will be in a cast for a month!  This comes at a really good time as we close on our house Friday, move Monday & Tuesday, start both kids in preschool, it's Bexley's birthday, and Scott leaves for Germany for a week 4 days after we move!  It's going to be a wild, busy next few weeks!  We can handle it though, right?!?

{Blue Taping} At Our New Home!

Well, it is that time!  Less than 2 weeks until we move in!  We had our New Home Walk Through today, but the best was yesterday when Scott and I had our inspector check the house out.  After the inspection, Scott and I thought we'd get a head start on the Tuesday meeting with the builder where we put up the blue tape together.(For those of you who don't know, blue tape on the walls indicates to the builder areas to fix or touch up.)  I must say, it...was...impressive!  There was so much tape up that today I asked the builder if this was the most he'd ever seen.  He hesitated and I said, "Be honest.  It's in the top 3 of what you've seen, right?"  He smiled and simply said, "It is."  Enough said, Scott and I already knew we were a little high maintenance!

 

While waiting for the builder to arrive, I just wanted to get 1 pic of us.  Below is the pic and convo taken before.

 Scott: "C'mon honey, no more pics!  The sun in shining right in our eyes!"    Me: "1 more and I promise we are done!  Just close your eyes and on the count of 3 open them and smile!"

{Little} Workshop

Just a typical Saturday last week, making our rounds at the hardware stores and the manager says, "Hey, we have a kid's workshop back in Lumber today!" It was not hard to find where he was talking about as we got closer because we could hear all of the hammering. Camden's eyes lit up as he asked, "Can I please do the workshop!" So we signed up, got our gear on and a hammerin' we went!  (Sorry in advance for the blurry pics.  It was just too cute to NOT to take pics!  Good thing I had my point-n-shoot camera in my purse!)

Aren't our little carpenter cute?!? 

Scott "helping"

Me "teaching"

"You better not be talkin' ''bout my mama?"

{Monkey See} Monkey Do!

The scene at breakfast this morning...Camden was cold so he put his bathrobe on.  Two seconds later, Bexley runs out of the room, comes back in with her bathrobe in hand.  Lately, this is very common in our house.  Everything Camden does, Bexley follows!  Oh, I can't wait for the good stuff.

{Happy 36th Birthday} Scott!

It's Scott's 36th birthday!!!  Yay 36!  It's so funny ~ two things happen when you get older.  1)  When you are in your 20's, 36 seems so old and now that you are here ~ it's not that  old and 2) you always have a conversation with someone to figure our exactly how old you are because you can't remember.  (After having this convo with Scott over his age this year, I was happy to find out that I was 32 not 33!  YAY!  Here I was telling everyone that I was 33!)  We took Scott out for breakfast to one of our favorite breakfast spots in Cary ~ kind of had to, we woke up with no electricity this morning!  Pretty low key birthday week this year, just relaxing with family!  And if you're wondering what Scott got for his present...it's simple...a new house!

Birthday Smooch!

Another birthday kiss!

Playing the wii!  If you play with Camden you MUST stay clear of him otherwise you may get knocked out!

Camden had a hard time taking a break from the wii for a pic and Bexley just wanted to show us where her nose was!  ;)
