Still For Sale

It has been a crazy week. Wednesday morning Jeanne (my mother in law) was coming out to help me paint the girls room. Around 9:00 I got a phone call from some realtor saying they wanted to show my house at noon. I asked if they could come later because I was painting and she said they couldn't. After I got off the phone I started cleaning like mad to get the house all clean and ready to show before Jeanne got there to paint. My house wasn't a huge mess but you know when you show your house you want everything to look just perfect!! It also doesn't help that I don't have a dishwasher!!!!!!! Anyway, so my mom came and picked up the girls for me (which was a life saver!!) and we started sanding the walls we had fixed the day before and painted at the same time. I have never painted so fast in my life!! We were only halfway done when it was time to go and we had to make a run for it as the Realtor pulled up. We went on a drive and came back, and they were still there, so, we drove for a while longer, came back, and still they were there. They ended up staying 45 minutes!! I was so excited and hopeful that they were interested!! I got a call a couple hours later that we received an offer on our house so we went down to the office to check it out. I was so excited and hopeful!! Unfortunately it was way lower than we expected and they wanted/needed a new well put on the property to get the loan. I have been a mess the last couple of days calling drillers and worrying about our counter offer. To make this long story have a short ending, equity savers called today and the buyers declined our counter offer because they cannot qualify for the amount we need to put in a well and stay afloat. so.....

OUR HOUSE IS STILL FOR SALE!!!

Christmas and Janna's Wedding



It snowed for like a week straight before Christmas it was crazy. we would point out the window and say "look Mindy, it's snowin' ". Now she thinks that snow is "snowin' ". i took her out to play in it when Makayla was taking a nap and she kept saying "look mommy, i walk in snowin' "


We had a great Christmas this year. It was great to be with all of our family and to enjoy the Christmas season.
Monte enlarged this picture of me on Spur last summer on our pack trip to Barren Lake and he and his dad made this frame for me. It is awesome!!
Monte got a gun cabinet for Christmas again this year!! Last year it was framed.....and this year it is finished!!! We love it and think it looks great in our cowboy room. Thanks Uncle Vaughn!!

Mindy was VERY animated when she opened her presents this year....

Mindy's hair is getting so long. My mom says it is just like Brookelynn's hair was. We were getting ready to go to Janna's family wedding dinner and it looked so cute I just had to take a picture!
We were all FREEZING at the temple waiting for Janna and Randy to come out...

Janna looked so beautiful. We are all very happy for her and Randy!! Congrats guys!!
