As we got closer to the end of July my parents were getting close to closing on their house. I kept telling my Mom to let me know when they needed us to do a walk through for the house or to let us know what we needed to do for them since they were closing on the house so far from where they live right now. It wasn't until a week before they were closing on their house that their realtor told them when the walk through was supposed to be. They were not being very flexible with it either. Supposedly the only times they could do the walk through was on a Wednesday at 1:30. I was not sure how that was all going to work because I would have to take all the boys with me and we were only aloud to have 1 person at the walk through and their realtor. So I was thinking I would have to leave the kids in the car with a movie on or hope that Kayden was napping at home and have the boys watch a movie at home while I was gone and just hope that Kayden slept the whole time I was gone. I figured I would just have to make it work. It was not going to be easy, but, I would make it work. My Dad called me a few times in the next couple of days as we tried to figure out a better time to do the walk through. Nothing seemed to be working out so the plan was to do it that Wednesday at 1:30. My parents were in Utah at the time and they were driving home that Tuesday. So as they were driving home they called me and asked if it would be ok if they just came to our house and stayed for a couple of days. That way they could do the walk through themselves so I wouldn't have to stress about it. We told them they were more than welcome to come to our house instead of driving home. So they turned around and headed our way! I was excited to have them coming back to our house again. Plus I didn't have to worry about the kids and doing the walk through. The other plus was they were able to get their closing changed to that Friday instead of the following Monday.
Just having fun hanging out in our backyard! We didn't tell the kids that Papa and Gigi were coming again. We figured we would keep it a surprise!
Kayden is getting more curious. He climbed through the chair in the kitchen. I thought he was going to get stuck but he actually made it through.
We also had our computer crash on us! It just malfunctioned one afternoon while Wyatt was doing a math game on the computer. Pretty annoying!!
Oh ya and then there is Kayden again!! haha He likes to take all of the carnation breakfast drink packets out of the box and then sometimes he puts most of them back. haha
A little more backyard pool time!!
While Papa was off doing the walk through we let the kids watch a movie downstairs. Even Kayden enjoyed some of the movie. haha He laid there for like 2 minutes and then was off getting into whatever he wasn't supposed to. Or going over to Gigi to sneak up on her computer. haha
My mom also gave this little sloth to Kayden. It was going to be for Ryan for her birthday but Ryan already had one so she let Kayden have it. Kayden LOVED it!!! It was so cute to watch him snuggle up to it.
So sweet with his little sloth!
We also went out for a jog with Gigi.
And stopped to run through the sprinklers.
The kids had so much fun running through the sprinklers. Then I took Kayden out of the stroller and ran through with him and he loved it too. Until I had to put him back in his stroller and then he was super upset! haha
Then Emmett wanted to run and had Gigi ride his bike! haha
Gigi is such a good sport! haha
Ya.... Ethan did his sun screen. haha I think he did a little bit too much!!
Friday morning July 24th my parents officially closed on their Colorado home! They were officially going to be living near us in Colorado!! We are so excited!!!
My parents were excited but I think a little stunned that it was actually happening. It is a really big move for them and it just happened so fast. Although, everything that needed to happen just went so smoothly that it really did seem like it was meant to be. It all just fell into place. Even though it is a big move for them we are excited to have them so close to us. We have only been trying to convince them to move here for the past 5 years. haha
Oh and we are under contract on this lot!! It is in wild wing and is 1.4 acres. It too is a little overwhelming!! haha Exciting and overwhelming. I have asked Brandon like 5 times if we can afford it without feeling tight financially and he has crunched the numbers and said that we can totally do it. So we put in an offer and are under contract. We wont be building on it for probably 2-3 years but at least it will be ours and we can build our dream home eventually and have some more space. I still can't believe it is happening!!
Another happy boy with his sloth!!
After my parents closed on their house we picked up Chick-Fil-A for dinner and ate at their house! We figured it would be fun to eat there because it was now Officially theirs and what better way to celebrate it being official than eating some dinner at the house and talking about their plans for furniture and other things.
It was fun and the kid had fun running around in their basement. It was really just fun knowing that they are going to be living there in the near future!!
After closing on their house Friday and celebrating they left Saturday early morning to get back to their house in California. Then we were back to normal life. Kayden it getting so big and is loving trying to be one of the big boys. He likes to run after them and will just laugh and laugh.
Kayden also pushed Emmett around on the lightning McQueen in the front yard. Emmett was so surprised that Kayden was actually pushing him and Kayden was having a blast doing so.
Then after a hot week it rained the day my parents left. We have not gotten much rain this summer. It has been a hot summer which is a bummer because we didn't get to go to the pool as often as we normally do. So it just made it seem even hotter not being able to go swim anytime we wanted to. Anyways, the week became more exciting with my parents coming out again. We played games with them at night and some more corn hole and talked about them moving. It was fun and I can't believe they are actually going to be moving out here. The next step was selling their house in California! Pretty awesome!!
