Hopefully this won't jinx us
So I have decided to post pictures of "our house" being built. I am hoping that this won't jinx us and we lose it again. Just wanted you all to see the progress!

Not so fast
Sometimes when you think that everything in life is going great you are thrown a curve ball. Last night at 8:30 our realtor called and told us that our buyers backed out. NOOOOOOOOO! So, now if we don't get our house SOLD- not just under contract- by November we lose our house again! AHHHH!! So, for some reason or another we are going through another trial with the house. So, if you know of anyone that is looking for a house out here send them our way.

A Big Change
Well, a lot has happened in the past few weeks...
Our house SOLD!! Yep! That is right! Now, granted we didn't get all the money out of it that we wanted, but who can in a market like this? But we did make enough to get a bigger house.
So, those of you who remember a few months back when we put our house on the market will remember that we had put money on a lot to build a beautiful home in Harvest Hills. BUT we had to have our house under contract by July 23rd. Well, that time came and went and nothing on the house. So, we lost the lot and the house :(
Then when we finally has our house under contract I found a beautiful house in the Ranches, completely finished, fenced, with every upgrade imaginable!! Any ways, we put in our offer, but they had accepted another offer about 3 hours before our made it in. It seemed like we were going to be homeless! Well, Pug was so upset that he left work early and just drove around. He ended up at our old lot and noticed that a hole had been dug. He stopped in at the model home to talk with the agent and found out that they were building OUR house on OUR lot and that nobody has bought it yet! So, we are doing what we thought we were supposed to do in the first place! It is amazing how everything worked out the way it was supposed to!
We are moving into a condo in the Ranches until December, and we are planning on just driving the kids into Harvest Hills for school. And in for church as well.
We are really going to miss the friends that we have made out in City Center, but I know that we are not all that far away!

True Religion
Okay, so I am trying to make a little extra Christmas money (we are going to visit my Mom in Michigan for Christmas) and I am selling True Religion Brand jeans to help out. Here are 3 of the jeans that I have right now. I know there are a lot of sceptics out there on whether or not these are legite, so I will tell you I did my reseach on how to find an authentic and how to spot the fake. Everything listed on how to tell if they are real I found on the jean:
*Red Buddah on inside pocket
*TRBJ on the pocket studs
*3 tags- 1 with the size, 1 with a silver thread and one with the CA#
*Horse shoe print equal on each pocket
So, as far as I was able to find out these are authentic (my guess is that they are their "seconds" I have had some miss marked jeans)
If you or someone that you know likes the designer look, but not the designer price let them know about me. I was selling them for $75, but I am now going to sell them at $65. I can order sizes from 26-31 in many different styles.
Here are three that I have right now- I am expecting another shipment of jeans sometime this week.
This one is marked as a 31, but fits more like a tight 29 or loose 28. The inseam is 32". It is a Joey Super T, with thick white stitching. Very cute! It is my most popular seller!
This one is a Billy Big T, it is a size 30 (true size) and has an inseam of 31. It has the thick orange and gold stitching.
This one is just like the first one, only it is a size 29 (true size), with an inseam of 32".
Like I said if you or anyone you know wants a pair either give me a call or email me!

I know, I know...
Okay, well my idea of keeping up on this blogging stuff didn't work out, so here are a few pics of what we have been up to the past few weeks...
The first Thursday of the month (as usual) we go to the Thanksgiving point farm and the zoo. Forgot to take pictures at the zoo, but here is Abby on the horse at the farm.
But on the way to the farm I had a little mishap. See that thing sticking out of the tire? Yeah, that would be a kitchen knife. Yes you read right, a knife! I was in the Ranches, almost to the Maverik when all of a sudden my car started to rattle- very loudly! I pulled into the business park across from the gas station, check the trunk to see if something was rattling in there, opened Abby's door to see if she had dropped something. That is when I heard the low hissing sound- a flat tire!! Luckily Pug wasn't too far away and was able to come to my rescue. Of all the things to run over, who know it would be a knife!
We went up to Deer Creek with our friends the Walton's for some fun on the water one Saturday too.
Here are the little girls have fun in the water faucet.
Here is Cameron and Pug out on one of the wave runners
More of the crew waiting to go out.
Every Tuesday in August Thanksgiving Point was offering $2 admission to any of their venues. So the last Tuesday in August I went with Melissa and 3 of her kids to the dinosaur museum. It was very crowded, but the kids had a blast!
Pug took Cameron to the monster truck, along with his dad, brother-in-law Matthew and nephew Nathan.
We went out to dinner with some of Pug's mission friends, the Cahoons and the Dennisons.
Kenzie and Cameron started soccer (don't ask why I only have a picture of McKenzies game and not Camerons- I will bring my camera to his next game)
Abby learned how to ride her bike.
Abby started Preschool with Teacher Jenny- even though Abby missed the deadline by 8 days Jenny was more than happy to take her.
Cameron's first day of 1st grade.
McKenzie's first day of 3rd grade.

August- in a nut shell
Okay, so August has been a little bit busy. It is hard enough for me to remember to blog when the kids aren't here, but when they are it is near impossible (which would totally show in the lack of posts this summer). So here is a quick recap of what has happend so far.
The first weekend in August Pug and I were able to take off for the night to the Daniels Summit Lodge. It is about 20 minutes outside of Heber. For those of you who have never been there- well it is beautiful up there. Pug's work was doing a 4-wheeling trail the following day and we were lucky enough to be given this room for free. Here are some pictures of the room.
This is view from the balcony.
The next day we had a friend drive our kids up to us (thanks Nancy for watching them Friday, and thanks Tim for driving them up to us). Then we were one of one two SUV to take the trail- all the rest were 4wheelers or motorbikes. And the Durango did amazingly!
There was also the meet the team day for Real. Pug was able to take McKenzie and Cameron along with him and his dad. Here they are with Leo.
McKenzie swam her little heart out in swimming lessons and has moved on to level 4.
Cameron is a great swimmer and will hopefully be in level 3 next year (he has to do the front stroke and back stroke a little bit further- we are working with him on it)
And of course for the first Thursday of the month we get to go to the Thanksgiving point Farm and the Zoo for free.
Cameron and Abby petting a baby pony.
This time they decided to ride the carriage instead of the ponies.
The Stoddart and Naccarato kids in the boat at the zoo.
This baby giraffe was only 6 days old when we saw him/her (I can't remember what it is)
It is kind of hard to see, but there is a baby snow leopard playing with its mommy here.
We also went camping last weekend. My mom was in town so we all decided, why not? So Thursay we all headed down to Payson Canyon and camped at Maple Lake. Thanks Mom for being willing to watch my kids so I could go celebrate my birthday!! My kids stayed Thursday night with Mom, BJ and fam and Heather and kids while I went out to dinner with the Naccarato's. Then I came down Friday and stayed until Saturday. Lets just say my kids were DIRTY!
Here is Cameron and his cousin Trevin (whose birthday is a day after mine, happy #5 T-Bucket!)
Abby in her favorite place- the dirt.
My brother brought up his raft and my brother-in-law brought up his canoe. So before we left, and before it started to rain, the kids all got a ride in a boat.
So, there is what has happened so far. August is not over and there are still many fun things to come- first days of school, soccer. I will HOPFULLY be able to be more on top of this blogging thing now.
