Survived the 2nd move in 6 weeks!

Well, we did it. We moved. It wasn't pretty but, we are in, settled and just about all done putting the house together. It was a long and busy week last week but we are soooo loving our new place! I'll take pics of the house tomorrow. Maybe even a video tour!
Brody had his first Soccer game last Saturday. He did great and loved it! When I took his picture he said he wanted it to look like he was kicking the ball. Love him.
Sunday, Noah and I had to speak in church. Ugh! I hate speaking, but so glad it's over with. Later that evening we had a fun visitor from home. Kyle Worthen! He is here selling pest control for a few weeks without his family so we had him over for dinner. It's so funny to see a face from AZ in VA. We loved having him over.
Sadie started pre-school this week. She is loving every minute of it. She actually gets mad when I come to get her because she wants to stay. Two other Mom's and I are doing our own pre-school and I think it's going to be great! It's my turn next week...I'm so excited!
Noah is still doing great at school. He has been riding my bike to school because I won't let him take his with the baby seat on the back. But mine has a wicker basket and flowers, so I guess it's not much better.
Things are good! Miss everyone who is not here!!!

First day of kindergarten

Yesterday Brody finally had his turn to start school. It was raining like crazy all day so it made for a very wet and soggy first day. No recess. Maybe they will get to play lots of heads up 7up here!


2nd day at the bus stop. He gets to ride the bus to and from school and absolutely loves it. He had a great couple of days and loves every bit of kindergarten!

Things are changing...

First things first...Today was an amazing 75 degrees. Sept. 1 and in the 70's! I ran to the store this evening and actually wished I had thrown a jacket on! That is definitely something new to me. Fall is right around the corner here and I could not be more excited! I have never had a "real" fall so things should be so fun the next few months. The leafs actually fall OFF the trees here! Oh, I can't wait.

Next order of business..and this is big. We are moving again. I get a pit in my stomach just writing that. We are going to be moving to Regent student housing next week. Long story short...we decided EVERYTHING would be better for us if we were living in the student housing. So that is what we are going to do.
Here is just some of the reasons:
this is the biggy...we will save $500 a month!
we will be across the street from Noah's school.
85% of the student families live there and all the kids play outside all day long (at our house now, our kids have played with only 2 kids)
they have a soccer team for the kids starting in two weeks (and only costs $15!)
they have lots of get togethers.. like a fall festival.
no more having to keep up our crazy lawn that takes so much time to maintain.
most of our fun friends who we have met live there.
it's just going to be soooo great...I'm really excited...but not for moving again.

Things are going to get a little crazy the next couple weeks so I will post when things settle down and get moved in...again! Oh and by the way, I just got made the primary secretary! I'm a little nervous but so excited.


It was actually raining in this picture but you can't tell

Noah is so nice and actually lets the kids do everything when making cookies


We had the funnest day at Sandbridge beach with our fun friends the Saunders.

All boy
