I am so ready for VACATION!!!

Wow has this week been insanely crazy!!! The house is actually officially listed. They will show it all week next week while we are out of town which makes my life extremely easy!!! You don't know how happy I will be to step on that plane Saturday morning!!! My sleeping hours the entire week have been about 2 - 5 (this morning prob 3 - 5). I have actually come to a conclusion about this house stuff.... Why the heck do I live the way I do with all the clutter? My house looks so much better with half my **** in storage. Seriously... I can't believe how much crap we have. I have made a commitment to not let it get this way in the new house. We will see how long that lasts. Here are a few of my fav pics over the past week....

Macee did a photo shoot of Murphy on the couch! I thought this was a cute, chubby picture of my "not so little" man!!!

Update on the house... We have windows. We have plumbing, heating and air and electrical done!!! It is getting exciting....This is my beautiful niece Kaijsa and Murphy. She is in Utah for a few more days but we said goodbye to her Sunday. I love her so stinkin much!!! I miss her so bad. She came and stayed a few days with me last week and helped SOOOO much with the kids. She is amazing with little kids. I have tried to tell her I would finish my basement and she could have her own room downstairs if she would come back. Darn you girl... I love and miss you all the time!! But... I am extremely glad and proud to see how much you have grown and how happy you are in Texas.I guess this goes along with having boys. Eric came and got me early this morning and had me take a pic. He has spent alot of time with his hand down the diaper. What a dork!!! Don't you love the princess pillow!!!Mick is playing his first year of if tackle football. We love it because he plays for a good friend of ours that teaches the boys so much but let me be honest with you... as a mother I am scared to death for my little guy. He has no fear... but I on the other hand... Oh well, it will be so exciting and fun! Mays looked much cuter in his pads so we took the pic of him. Even though he didn't like it!

You are keeping my hours it seems? Can't sleep a wink..and Parker isn't helping! I hope you come home to a sold house..wouldn't that be nice?
And clutter..Willie loves that we move so much so we have to get rid of stuff each time. I feel like I can't hold onto anything! And..loving the princess pillow. Jackson is using one of my pink body pillows right now! heehee!! Okay..and lastly...a niece in Texas? How old is she and is she close to Arlington? I'm always looking for a sitter..even if it won't be until next year! ;0)
Have a great trip!

I don't know if you ever said WHERE you are going for vacation??? And congrats on listing the house, I think that is one of the hardest parts of selling is actually getting it there. I really need to go sneak through your new one and see how much progress is being made. I always check it out driving by it on my way home from work, but never walk through. Ahhh, the luxury of boys...hand in pants....football uniforms....classic.

Hi Jess!
Love the pictures! Your sleeping hours sound too familiar. Isn't sleep overrated anyway? I mean really, who needs more than 3 hours of sleep at night? :)

Have a wonderful vacation and good luck with your house.... hope it sells fast for you. Tell Eric thanks for everything he has done for us lately - we appreciate him a ton. We can't wait to get down there - hopefully it will be soon!

You are truly amazing! It makes me tired just reading about your schedule! We are entering the football arena this year with Corbin, and I am very nervous. Where are you going on vacation? Sounds like a much deserved break. It was so great to see you in Castle Dale. Your little Murphy is so cute I could just squish him!
