SOLD!!!
WE sold our house on Friday! YEAH!

Go Dodgers!

Yes, the only time you will EVER catch me eating a hot dog would be a famous Dodger Dog. We had a great time at the game. Dodgers scored 7 runs before we left after the 5th inning against the Giants. Jessica kept cheering Go Chargers!!! she gets confused between baseball and football.

Progress

Here are the latest pics of our house "lot". I did go by this week and saw them framing, so it will be fun to see it this weekend.

My schedule for the past few weeks

Clean, take the kids to school, clean, pick up the Jess, clean, leave the house for a showing, pick up Jake, clean, leave the house because of a showing, clean, go to bed. Did I mention that all I do is clean?! In between, pta meetings (last one was this week), some work (thank goodness for some $), book club (my escape), swimming (to beat the heat), Dentist Surgery for Jess (no fun, but she did well), cubscouts (No comment), Dodger Game (family night fun), car trouble (yes- car trouble with my new car), advance screening of Prince Caspian (really good movie and fun screening), scrapbooking with my cousin (just so I feel productive and get out of the house).

New House

Well we did it, we bought a new house. It will be ready in Sept., so it gives a little bit of time to sell this one. I'm so excited. It's in Rivervillage in Valencia. It's 3500 sq ft. on a 10000sq ft lot. It's at the end of the cul de sac. It's beautiful. You can go to lennar.com and see pics. It's the heirloom plan 2 home. We aren't sure what ward/stake we'll be in. The kids won't be able to go to Bridgeport, I tried to pull some strings...and may still resort to begging...But- they will go to Emblem, which is a great school and was just re-awarded their Distinguished School Award. (BP just got theirs---and received a perfect score) I still have to resign as the VP of the PTA next year and not sure if I'm bummed or relieved? I love being involved at the school, and I'm sure that any school is happy to have parent volunteers.
Jake's a little nervous, but excited for his new room. Jessica is excited...she's nervous about starting Kindergarten anyway. (she wants me to be her teacher and can't understand why I can't be her teacher at school, when I'm can be a teacher at church.)Also, since she's been right along my side for 3 years on the PTA at Bridgeport it will be an interesting move because she knows the staff, the Principal, the custodians, the teachers, everyone at BP and they know her...

I always hated going to the dentist...

I was traumatized by every visit and every small cavity...very sensitive teeth. So it only seems fitting that one of my kids "HATES" going to the dentist and that I should have to deal with all the drama...Long story short, 1 year, 4 tries and 3 dentists later, I have no choice but to do the IV sedation thing for her 11 cavities, 2 root canals and 2 crowns. UGH...I can't wait until braces.
(BTW, she started out with only about 5 or 6 small cavities)

Remember when they were so cute!

I just ran across these pics--weren't they SO cute. The first pic is 2005- Jess, Bella, Quinn, Maddie. The 2nd is 2006-Kayley, Maddie, Jess, Bella.
