Easter fun...

Wow I am such a bad blogger these days!  I can't believe I didn't blog about Easter yet! YIKES!!!


Let's look back.  On the Saturday before Easter we went to a little hunt up the street at one of the elementary schools.  Of course it had rained like crazy the night before causing it to be a muddy hunt.  Miss H had a blast even with the mud, her mom not so excited about it!  2 of Chris' friends joined us and of course we had to go out and check on the house.  We got to see the new drive way and all the flooring done.

Easter Sunday was pretty low key at our house.  We headed out for church and lunch...then back to pack the house.  Since we were moving in a week we had to get a start on it.  Miss H got to enjoy her Easter basket goodies which was great.  She loved them all!!

Her new favorite toy...loves to color on her music station!

Homeless we are..

So this past Tuesday we officially became HOMELESS! Thankfully we have great friends and family close enough to bunk up.  Originally we were planning to stick it out in a long term hotel room, but then decided it would not be logical finically.  Thus my husband who still has to continue working during this time is well couch surfing.  He has been sticking out like a champ at various houses and we are thankful his friends are so accommodating.  As for Miss H, Winston, and I well we took off for my parents.  Sweet Bob Bob doesn't do well with change so she is at the vet for the time being.  I  am sure she is enjoying some piece there.  Let's look back a couple of days at our crazy life!!

Tuesday: Spent the whole day with movers packing up and moving things.  Our builder is so wonderful and allowed us to store everything in the garage at our soon to be home.  He made sure the garage was finished out and ready to go...love them!  Thankfully Miss H has school on Tuesday because she was not to happy about her toys being gone.  When I picked her up the truck was almost finished loading up the house.  She took on look and was not so excited!  However, once she saw them unload it into the garage she was a little happier.  Mostly just thankful she had her wagon to ride around in while we waited for them to unload and stack things.  That night we slept in a hotel and boy did we all sleep great!

our house...all in a box

Miss H not so sure about this...but loves signing TRUCK now

Finished up and ready to move.

How our things looked once they were in our new place! 

she was so tired from the move she was passed out...for the night

Wednesday: Miss H and I enjoy the free breakfast at the Hyatt then took off for music class at TCU.  Of course an awful storm was hitting the area and the temps went from 70's to 40's.  Originally our plan was to head to A-town after music.  However, with the weather being awful and A-town getting possible snow we stuck it out here.  We went back to the Hyatt and hung out and napped.  Then we loaded up, went and got Winston (who stayed at the groomers over night), and moved to our next hotel.  Mom was headed back from my sisters so we all got a room (pet friendly) for the night.  Plus I got to take mom out and show her the house which was nice.

Keeping busy with the toys the hotel gives you, ice buckets!

Winston and Miss H enjoying the big window in our new room

The fountain that entertained her for a good hour, thank heavens!

Thursday: Mom, Miss H, and I all woke up and went to grab breakfast.  Before we left we gave Winston his drugs....he gets car sick!  By the time we were done everyone was ready to load up for the long RIDE to A-town.  Miss H did great and slept the first 1/2 of our 6 hours...not so great for the 2nd half.  She was much fussier than normal...now I see it is due to teeth.  Poor thing would fall asleep and then wake up 20 mins later screaming!  We were all thrilled to be here in A-town

up and ready to party

Happiness being out of the car!!! Loving her brother too.

Since getting here we have just been enjoying life not in a hotel and with space.  Winston is in heaven with a yard to play in.  Miss H is also loving the yard and learning about grass.  She really hasn't been in it much and its so funny to watch.  When she falls she tries to just stand up without touching any of the grass...so cute to watch.  We have spent time with my cousin and her sweet baby, also with my bff who just moved back to town.  Tomorrow we have big plans of hitting the A-town zoo!!! Whoo Whoo

just doing a little grocery shopping for our stay

yes, she thinks this is normal....living out of a suite case

 Enjoying time with Papa

As for the house well Friday is the day they say it will be ready, but I am not so sure.  Chris has been doing a great job checking in on it. I feel bad that I have been in charge and now left him to do the final stuff.  However, he is way better at the small things than I am!  Probably best this way.  We should know by Wednesday if we are headed home or sticking around here longer.  Either way I am fine...I love being home with my family.  Miss H loves it too as you can see.  No matter how things go from here we have many memories from the event.  I'm sure we will look back and laugh at it all...one day!

Moving along, no april fools here

I have tried like 10 times to sit and blog but we are busy, busy, busy over here.  A lot has happened this past month with our house and our rent house! Lets begin with the fun stuff...our new home!

Here are the most recent pictures from this past week.  They have been so busy out there.  We now have painted walls, stained cabinets, tiled floors, tiled bathrooms, and more. I can't believe how amazing it all looks.  I love it all!

Things are still moving...up next we have light fixtures, showers and baths almost complete, and a driveway! Post on that to come soon!!

For the RENT house fun!!!  While Miss H and I were in Colorado our rent house sold.  Yes, we knew they were going to sale it...but didn't realize it would go so quickly.  Needless to say we have tried to ask the buyers to allow us to say till the 15 of April...when our home is done! But they are not having it..since our lease was up April 9th.  Thus we are going to be HOMELESS come April 9th.  Talk about FUN TIMES!  I mean come on what kind of people can't let us rent back for a week.  You can imagine how I feel about those people....

We have been busy over here looking for movers and boxing up the house.  I HATE moving more than anything in the world and now to have to move but not be in our home is even worse.  Our builder is wonderful and working to get the house done quicker...but we keep getting little snags like back ordered items.  Guess we will be staying a hotel for a bit.  Picture it now dog and cat that HATE each other plus baby in a hotel for at least 1 to 2 weeks...FUN times!   If anyone has a good suggestion I am beyond open to it.  Yes, I did plan to pack up and head to my sisters...but then who would be here to meet people at the house.  Chris has to work and well H and I go out about once a day to meet with workers! AHHH the craziness of it all! I only wish this was a crazy April fools joke too!
