Just nuts and bolts of our life

My last post was April?? Really? Sheesh! Well I guess I better up date. I get tired of seeing my own blog, plus I don't like seeing my name at the bottom of everyones blog lists because I haven't updated in the longest! Thank goodness for you Noelle! You are always right below me. (hee hee)
OK. Kids are out of school, Eli will go all day next year- weird! Last year for Adam in Elementary. Abby got straight A's. I am especially proud because she actually has to work for it. She did great. I decided not to be the crazy, mad, room mom next year. Three classes was hard this year! So next year with a new baby, I am gonna coast through! :) I may reconsider for Adam since it will be his last year and the older they get, the less volunteers they get. We will see.

Most of you have heard by now, except maybe JK- We are having a Healthy baby girl! Abby is thrilled! We will have even numbers in our fam, but mostly we are happy she is healthy! The doctor did the ultra sound and explained everything he was doing and looking for. The only thing he couldn't check for out right was Down's but he did look for the clues to Down's and everything looked normal. I was relieved because I feel so old and out of shape. We are still looking at the beginning of Oct for her to show her cute little face in the world. No names so far. I am pretty settled on Emery, but Chris doesn't like it. :( What do you all think?

Our house is still just a whole with a basement. The basement is a new development. Evidently the city of Payson is pretty picky. Although we have waited a long time we did get some upgrades because of it. We locked into a price, then the city demanded stucco, they demanded more stone, they demanded higher elevation, and a front yard with sprinklers. So we got all these upgrades for free, plus they raised the price about 20 grand on all future houses in the area, plus they no longer offer our floor plan in the area, so there will only be about 4 houses with our same floor plan. The rest will be ramblers. We figure we have about 40- to 50 thousand in equity already! But we are definitely ready for our house! They estimate we will be closing in the end of July now.

Other than that we are just hanging out, trying to clean and pack. And of course Baseball Baseball Baseball. Adam is playing for a Payson team so about 3 to 4 times a week we get to drive 30 min. to and 30 min. from Payson and get to hang out for 2 hours in between. It is not the most ideal, but he was recruited to an accelerated league and has made lots of friends on his two teams and no longer threatens to live on the streets of Lehi, because he refuses to move. :) Plus we now have a grasp on Payson and their sports teams, and major players in the whole city sports world. In fact one of his coaches who does football, baseball and basketball- all accelerated, plus sports camps, and I think he is the H.S. basketball coach, built a house next door to ours! So we are neighbors! They are fun people and I think we will get along great. But it is also helpful because of all the politics in sports- yes even at this young it is CRAZY!

Ok well that was a long post. I hope some of you made it through the whole thing! And if I put you to sleep- enjoy the nap!
