Another Week has Passed

So clearly I didn't get around to getting the blog set up last week. However, this is my goal this week. We celebrated Parker's 1st Birthday on Saturday! He had a pirate party. He took a few bites of his cake but he didn't really dig into it like the others. I will be posting pictures soon.

School starts next week. We still don't know which elementary Carson will be going to, but hopefully we will hear this week. Carson and I went back to school shopping last night. He picked out a GI Joe backpack. We got some new shorts (jean, of course), some shirts, and new underwear and socks. He is getting very excited to start school.

As for Emma and Cooper, we will begin our version of Preschool next week. They have been coming up with ideas for what they want to learn about. On the top of Cooper's list is sharks!

Anyway, look forward to pictures soon, I PROMISE!

Finally Unpacked

So, we are finally settled in the new house. We got the last of the boxes unpacked and the garage somewhat organized (We can get 1 car in the garage at this point!). It only took a week, which I think is pretty awesome. The kids are adjusting to the new house. Of course they miss Grandma & Grandpa and the dogs!

Today we started our star system for chores. They are working to earn a trip to the bookstore next weekend. They will be helping with the laundry, dishes, and vacuuming. They can also earn stars for making their beds, getting dressed without being asked, brushing their teeth, picking up their toys, and going to bed easily.

Just a few more days until Parker turns ONE!!! I can't believe he is almost 1. He refuses to crawl. He scoots on his bottom very quickly and can get anywhere he wants. We will have a little party next weekend for him, probably a pirate theme or bug theme. The boys are still thinking about what would be the best party for him. They are so cute!

Anyway, just wanted to check in. I will be posting pictures at some point today or tomorrow.
