Busy Busy Weekly Update

Phew!  Dropped the ball this week on updating earlier--things have been a bit crazy!  On the 17th of June, Jeff and I noticed our neighbor across the street put his house on the market.  That Saturday, we looked at the pictures online and went, "oooooh...ahhhhh."  Then we looked at each other and said, "Wait a minute...would that be crazy?"  And next thing you know we had a showing to go and look at the house and it turned out even NICER than we thought. So! We decided to take the plunge and make an offer that Monday morning.  Knowing they had another offer on the table we had to move rather quickly!  And! Because they knew it was us putting in the offer--they accepted our offer!  So we quickly spent the rest of the week getting our house ready to put on the market, and it was listed on June 23rd.  We had a total of 5 showings, and on Tuesday (July 4th), we went under contract with who will be our new neighbors!  They had to sell their home before they could buy ours, and they put their home on the market on Wednesday, July 5th and by the morning of July 6th--they had two solid offers.  So! Things are moving right along and we are super excited!  Hoping that things continue to go smooth and if they do we will be moved in across the street August 4th.  Phew!

LAST Tuesday, I did a fun chocolate cooking event with some co-workers of mine at The French Kitchen.  We made all sorts of delicious chocolate desserts.  Mmmmm.

My co-worker, Liz!

Learning how to do...something.  LOL


When we were done we got to enjoy our lava cake with ice cream and whipped cream.

(I saved the chocolate chip cookie for Jeff and it was to die for)

I stopped by mom and dad's house on the way home and shared some of my bounty.

Picked the kids up early last week to take them to Fro Yo!

And we went to the park across Barnes to play for a bit.

My pretty girl.

And their passports came!  Only took 4 weeks and now we are legit to go to Mexico in October!  Hopefully they don't think Alex is a boy...ha!

On Saturday we met our friends at the North Pole!

She was the driver on the cars and was smiling at the giant Tiger.

We had a good time although it was HOT!


It was a late celebration for Connor's birthday.




This kid was bling-ing


Best Buds.


Cooling off in the mister.




Jeff had to stay back in case we got a showing--but the 3 of us enjoyed our day with our friends.

Later that night we went with Mom and Dad to Till to celebrate Dad's birthday!  We enjoyed our dinner, although I failed to snap any pictures.  After dinner Jeff and I decided to grab a drink at a cool little bar right around the corner of our house called TheCollective.  Our friends Tommy and Meg stayed with the kids so we could enjoy a nice evening out.  The kids had a blast!

On Monday, July 3rd--we called work early and picked the kids up and took them to go see Despicable Me 3!  The movie had us all chuckling and it was pretty cute.


Oh! And our fence got fixed! All ready for the new buyers.

4th of July was on a Tuesday this year...which threw the entire week off.   We went over to the Willson's house and did a pretty traditional 4th! Food, water balloons, ice cream, poppers, and once the sun went down we got to see the BIG fireworks from all over the city from their back deck.
Mmmm...check out the spread!

Not sure what the plans are for this weekend, but I think they will include a couple Goodwill runs!  Swimming lessons on Sunday, and next week we leave for Mexico!
