Cleaning....

Selling your house is no fun.....I have to actually clean everything in my house about 20 times every day just in case I get a call....I am exhausted already:-) Anyway, tomorrow the photographer comes to take the 50 pictures to go on the internet so I have already packed away a few boxes of 'excess' stuff and cleaned out the garage. Things look OK now the kids are in bed:-)

For Sale

Anyone want to buy a gorgeous MUST SEE house in Alpharetta GA?! We finally made the leap and put our house up for sale. I guess we will just have to see where this leads - if it sells quickly I guess we're out of here....if not then I suppose we are just supposed to be here a little longer...

Random People pictures....

I personally like looking at pictures more than reading ton's of stuff
so here are some random pictures of various people from our AZ trip
that were just being ignored on my phone.....it's amazing the photos
that end up on there when there are four little kids always playing
with the camera on it!

Laura's nephew, Dave - not sure who took this photo:-)

Laura obviously didn't want her photo taken.....

So we got smarter and caught her without her knowing (well I needed a profile picture for her on my phone!)

Our cute little chicken catching a rare few minutes of sleep...

And my cute goosey lucy at Krispy Kreme's.

New teeth!

I am not altogether sure Pauline would love this photo being on here
but she did get me to take it for Alex and the teeth drama was a big
part of our trip after all!

Thunderstorm in Texas

As all good things usually come to an end so did our trip to Arizona.

We spent a couple of days driving again and drove through this

thunderstorm. There was loads of huge lightening bolts and the boys

had a phone each trying to capture it on a photo. About 500 pictures

later Jordan won the"contest" with this picture!

Experiment

Essentially I am just checking how the email link works....if it comes
out good I'll be writing some more:-)

Arizona

We decided to drive out to Arizona this summer to visit with Aidan and Laura. It is a LONG LONG way! We ended up driving straight through as Andrew is a marathon driver (I managed a record 3 hour driving stint and a couple of 2 hour ones too) All in all we arrived 31 hours after we left. (Yep thirty-one!!) Like I said, a long way.
We have packed a lot into the three weeks we have been here, and though Aidan and Laura may be glad to get back to some peace and quiet, it has been a lot of fun!
The first week we went houseboating to Lake Mead.

Andrew and Aidan both jumped from this high cliff (Aidan did it twice)....the kids were not allowed!
Daniel jumped his first wake!

I skiied for the first time!
The cousins had TONS of fun together (here in The Venetian in Las Vegas)

Jordan jumping from the houseboat...

Anyway, it has been great, lots of swimming in Aidan and Laura's pool (a few cases of swimmers ear), non stop playing, movies, games, soccer in the street, lots and lots of meals, dishes and laundry but mostly lots of great memories.
