today is Friday

Cait cooling off in a bucket,

Owen is 4,

John being John,

this was the boys waiting for Auntie and Uncle to get to our house!

The offer on our house did not work out. We wil give it a couple more weeks and see what happens. I did find a couple of houses to show Bill but don't see much point unless we have a contract. Saturday we head to Birmingham for the annual Taylor 4th of July gathering at karen's farm!!! We all are excited and can't wait. LOTS of pictures from that day I am sure!

auntie and uncle !!!

Auntie and Uncle came and spent the night with us and it was so GOOD to see them. Too short though. Thanks Aunt Rita for the tractor bingo as we all played several rousing games!!!

Happy Sunday

Here's Cait,

Asleep with Daddy,

Zach.
We are still doing the offer/counter-offer thing.....just don't know.

well....we're working on a counter. Our agent seems to think we may be able to work something out. I am skeptical. We'll see.

and more beach...

what could be better? the beach and goldfish!

Some boys in a hole

Making 'concrete'

Zach
Well, we got an offer yesterday! It was crummy and not even something to consider, but still, we got one in 5 days!! We shall see what happens!

more beach!

Owen was so happy to have his own friend,

Cait hanging around..she is part monkey,

three boys in a tub, rub-a-dub-dub,

oops

Here's our somewhat finished house...

the kitchen,

Father's day,

the dining room,

The front room.
We repainted every square inch of this house and rehabed the kitchen. I hate painting.

another day at the beach..

Cait and her first bikini.....(thanks Addicyn)

John riding a wave,

Zach riding his wave,

here's the whole group! Very hard to get 7 kids together for 1 picture!!

Happy Father's Day!

The beach!

Heading out on our first day in Florida,

boys looking for clams,

Cait catching her waves,

Owen and Addicyn.
We are back from a GREAT week at the beach with the Bergman's!!!! Thank you Portia, Gracyn, Macyn, and Addicyn for such a good time. Poor Bill was left home to work and finish work on the house. We are officially now on MLS so we will see what happens. We missed him but it was nice to have a break from the house and visit with our friends. I have a 4 picture limit per day with the blogger so you will have to be patient as I add some each day. I want to go back!!

We're off.........

 
We are off to Jacksonville, Fl to visit my friend, Portia. The kids are very excited and so am I! We wish Bill could come but he has to sell our house. We are finally Done! There is still a few little pieces but nothing that can't be done while it is listed. Wish us luck. I am afraid it won't sell this year and I am also afraid it will sell. We'll just see what happens. Don't think I'll be able to post from the beach but maybe. We'll be back Friday or Saturday.

it's been a long time.....
