Grandma Flake's House

We have been super busy. That seems to be just the way life is lately!

We aren't completely moved out of our house yet. The buyers asked us to move the closing date back a week...and we agreed to it....but if it doesn't close, they will pay us back for what we will have paid for rent. We have just a few more things to move out of the house.

We've been staying here in our rental house since Monday night. It's kindda fun living in town again. I love the green grass and trees we have here at this house. Kaitlyn loves that she can sit and read in the grass out back and hear the fountain at the Bed and Breakfast.

I imagine that Grandma Flake would be happy to see her grandson and four of her great-grand children living in her old house. :)

Brandon and I felt the baby moving around in my belly for the first time yesterday morning. That's always fun. I haven't really sat still long enough to feel the baby again. Even when I am laying down to sleep, I can't stay still. I my legs and hips ache from laying on my sides so I move around trying to get comfy all night. The lack of sleep is getting me ready for a newborn!

So....this is our last week in this house. I have been packing....but there's still a lot to do. My parents are coming up this weekend and staying through Monday. This is wonderful! My mom and I pack well together. We both like things to be organized so that it is easy to find things once we start to unpack.

Brandon has a professional resume writer re-write his resume. He hasn't had many chances to apply for jobs this past week because he had to take a quick trip to Canada. We're hopeful that the new and improved resume will help with the job hunt.

The kids are all doing great.

Weston turned 5 yesterday. We celebrated the day before by going to Brandon's mom's house and riding horses. Weston invited Trey, Trevin and Travis (aka "Choncy") to come ride horses with him. We had pizza and a pinata, opened presents and ate cake and ice cream. Then yesterday, Weston opened the rest of his presents. He loved being sang to in Primary. He also loved not having to do any chores and getting to choose who'd to them for him. I asked his this morning how it felt to be 5. He told me, "You should know. You were 5 before." (true enough)
