June-ish

June is definitely one crazy month for our little family! We were told at the end of May that the owners of the home where we rent our apartment would be needing the space for their home based business. Fortunately, we were able to stay until July 1st, but packing up a family of four is NO FUN! I've slowly been working on a few boxes here and there, thinking that I had plenty of time because there was a WHOLE month, right? Last Sunday I realized we had two weeks. That's it. I decided that we (meaning I) definitely had to kick it into high gear. So, the boys' room is officially empty and packed. They are sleeping on the floor and living out of a suitcase, which is pretty much a party to them. Now for the rest of the house...... blah. We don't know for sure where we'll end up just yet, but we'll definitely be SOMEWHERE permanent by August so that Carson can start school on time and stay in one place. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we can end up in this house in West Point:

It sits on almost a full acre, which I think may just be enough room for the boys to run around and wear themselves out. The property line goes clear back to where you can see those tall, dead trees just before the neighbor's house. And, for those of you who know Jason, it has animal rights. Nothing is for sure and we're still on the hunt, but so far, this is our favorite.

It seems our days have just been hectic with trying to pack and finding things to keep Carson and Davis entertained. Their cousin Ryan invited them to his 11th birthday party at a Fun Center. They LOVED it and it gave us a much needed break from the clutter of a semi-packed house. We rented some Razor scooters and the boys loved it. I was amazed they didn't fall very much.

Davis learned to ride his bike without training wheels. I was pretty surprised, considering he is just 4. It was more out of necessity than anything. Carson and Davis have been riding their bikes so much that Davis basically wore the training wheels right off. We finally decided to take them off and about 30 minutes later, he was keeping pace with Carson without skipping a beat. He just seems too small to be riding on his own. We have the smallest bike with the seat all the way down, and he can just touch enough to get going. He loves it. I have a feeling he's going to keep me on my toes as he gets older.

Carson has taken a new interest in building with Legos. He's just old enough that he finally can read the directions and get everything assembled by himself for the most part. He has a great dad that has the patience to help him out, but still make him feel like he did it on his own. I am so grateful to have such a loving husband. I couldn't have picked anyone better!
