the house is SOLD!!!!!!!

Our house sold today after 10 days on the market. We can't even believe it. It still hasn't sunk in yet. Their was about 4 counter offers between us and the buyers but we were able to come to a mutual price. Were so happy to have it out of the way and were looking forward to moving on.
We will have an inspection next week and barring any changes in the next month, our closing date will be Friday January 23rd. We will be moving in with Donnie & Jill (my in-laws)
until our house is built next year. If anyone wants to help us move, well be recruiting help for Saturday January 16th (as usual, Im sure AJ will be busy that day - ha ha, just joking AJ).

Baby MULLET goes BYE BYE...

After lots of whining on Jaime's part, she was finally able to talk me into getting Cohen's hair cut. The baby mullet is now officially gone. I actually liked his long hair. I felt it defined him as a 2 year old little boy. Jaime just said he looked like his sister. Either way, its gone.

On Saturday Nov. 22nd, we went to a new place for kids called Whipper Snippers (the P's are scissors on their sign). Check out their website. http://whippersnippers.net/ Instead of sitting on normal chairs, kids can choose either of the 3 to sit in (an airplane, a Dodge Viper, or an H3 Hummer). While the kids are sitting down, they have flat panel tv's mounted on the walls in front of them playing cartoons. They have a section for the teen girls and for the teen boys, a section with flat panel tv's with XBox360 so they can play while they get their hair cut.

Cohen did an excellent job for his first time getting his hair cut. He never cried and didnt even put up a fight. The hairdresser said he was one of the best kids she has ever had. Once he was done, we watched them feed the fish in the large fish tank. We got the babies 1st haircut package which included a lock of hair, keepsake certificate and photograph.

Now I have to see if I can get Jaime to let it grow out again. Maybe it will be 3 years till his next cut. ha ha ha....I doubt that will happen.

House for Sale.....

Its official, our house is finally on the market. Its been a while since we started getting it ready to show and sometimes I wondered if we would ever be ready. Well that day came and went and we now are listed on the Skogman website.

Jaime and I are planning to keep the family here in Center Point. We've been meeting with builders in the area and are hoping to build a house next spring. Were very much at the beginning of the process but are excited for the future and at times a little scared as well. Our lot is picked out and were currently working on floor plans/pricing.

We'll keep you posted on the progress but for now...its...SELL...SELL...SELL

Donnie turns 60!!!!

Jill had a surprise 60th birthday party for Donnie tonight. It was actually two surprise parties in one. A neighbor of Jill and Donnies named Tammy was turning 50 this week so her family was their as well. Donnie was told that the birthday party was for Tammy, and Tammy was told it was for Donnie. After Donnie found out we were their for him, it was hush hush for the next hour until Tammy's family arrived. Tammy's family was standing outside the big shed door at 5pm. When the door opened, Tammy was blown away to find out that the party was for her as well. It was a great time with lots of family and friends (about 90) for both Donnie and Tammy.

Happy 60th Birthday Donnie.......

Time to join the internet revolution - blogging

Wowzers....I can't believe I have my own blog. Until a year ago, I didn't even know what one was. My friend Tammy sent me a link to her blog and it got me thinking about why I didnt have one of my family. Thanks Tammy, you've inspired me.

I hope you enjoy what you see. Its my little way of letting you know whats going on in our lives.
