We've been busy cleaning up our house and getting settled in. We've raked years of leaves from our yard and power washed the front and back porches. We have so many oak trees in our yard that constantly make a mess if everything! I put the kids to work every chance I get. Blake has had fun learning how to do different sorts of chores. He and Kendall raked leaves for quite awhile yesterday and said they really liked it. Kind of amazing if you ask me lol. Anyway, enjoy the random kid pics!
So, I had to say a sad goodbye to The Lexus a few months ago. It was involved in an accident and had $9000 worth if damage done to it, totaling it out. It was a sad day, but I was lucky enough to get a good amount of money for it and, with the help of my dad, purchased a new car outright. Meet The Volvo! It's 4 years newer than The Lexus and has 100k miles less. The kids and I feel very safe in it. It's the same size as my old car (the trunk is WAY bigger, which is a plus), but that's ok for now! It has a turbo engine in it, so I enjoy the pep and have fun driving it, which is a good thing since I'm in the car three hours a day getting Blake to and from his school in Bee Cave.
I was kind of bummed when I started seeing water puddling up in the car. I really don't have the cash flow to deal with any car issues. Luckily, my boyfriend Jordan was able to figure out the ac line was clogged and unclog it for me and we're back in business! When he pulled the carpet in the car up, there was several inches of water puddled up. It was a pretty serious issue. Had it been left to go on for much longer, I could be looking at rust, mold and so much more. The whole car smelled like mildew constantly. If you know me, you know I like to have things smell fresh and clean! But, we're back in business now and things are great! I can now say I'm completely starting over. Nothing in my life resembles what it did two years ago. While it's a bummer to lose so much in such a short period of time, I'm reaching for the positive and looking at all of this as the opportunity for a fresh, clean start.
Here are a couple of pics of my room. I worked so hard on it today! It took me forever to hang the curtains and a few other things, but it's finally coming along.
We had such a nice Mother's Day today! The kids, Erin and I met Sandy and Brad at church and then went swimming and had a nice lunch together! It was a very nice day!
Here's a little glimpse of how big our backyard is. It's great to be able to spread out a bit! Can't wait to plant a garden!!!
Here are a few pics of the living room. I'll get more as we get things cleared out. Erin and I tried to fit her table through our garage entrance... Uh... As you can see from the pic, it wasn't happening. We took it around to the front door and it went right in... It took us like 20 mins to unwedge that table to move it around front lol
I drop off Blake at school by 7:45 and on Tues and Thurs, Kendall goes to her school at 9. Since we now live 40 mins from their schools, Kendall and I have a little over an hour to kill. She and I have been going to the park to hang out. Here's a pic of my little goosey this morning :)
