Moving, Moving and more Moving

At least the kids love it

Coming Along

We have been so BUSY at our house this week. We found a renter for our house. Super good news. I was surprised at how easy it was. We pretty much had our choice of who we wanted to rent it. There were 4 or 5 families who really wanted it. I feel really good about the couple we chose. They will be perfect renters. We should be moving in to our new house starting on the 22nd. Jason will be out of town the 17th -21st. Which will be a super crazy week for me. My sweet babysitter Gay will be out of town and it is fall break, so no school for the kids. Between packing, work, soccer and kids I have decided it will be best to pay a company to come out and clean the new house and have it all ready for us to move in. I have some touch up painting and cleaning of the old house to do.

Fall Wreath

I like to copy cat craft.

So when I saw this cute Fall Wreath

I had to make my own.

I went to Robert's when they were having the

50% off sale and got all of these items.

And turned them into this I might need to add a grapevine wreath behind it to make it bigger. The door at the new house is bigger than my front door now. I love how it looks

Mantel Re-Do

I have been working on re-decorating my mantel

for sometime now. I am not one to use holiday

items, other than stockings, because I don't like

to change it once I love it.

Plus there are other places in the house for Holiday stuff.

I found this paper number 6.

To represent the Best's to the power of 6.

(Meaning 6 members of our family)

It started out like this.

Just the plain number 6 and some scrapbook paper

I traced the 6 front and back and cut out strips to

mod podge on the sides

I spray painted the 6 brown so that I could

file the edges to give the paper a torn look

then you could see the brown edges.

After she was all done I placed her next to our

family photo

I love the color she adds to the mantel

Half way done.

Good news is, this is practice for

the new house. The items on the mantel

all tie into the colors of the new house.

Less than a month, but who is counting?

BIG NEWS!

WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!! We couldn't be more excited.

Still Waiting.......

We have about 7 more business days

left before we will know if this will be our

new home. Fingers are still crossed that

she will be ours.

Waiting stinks.

It's that time of year again

We try to do family pictures once a year.

This keeps me up to date on the kids pictures and

gets me a family shot for our Christmas Cards.

I love the way they turned out even with 2 sick babies

Destri 12 1/2

Bentley 4 Sailor 2

Remington is turning one

My four beautiful children.

We are blessed for sure

It doesnt look like it but the shots we got

took a ton of work to get.
