Our many prayers were answered and we got an offer on our house at the end of Feb and we closed on the house on March 27th! A young family bought it so they will fit in great in the neighborhood and we were able to make a little profit on the house so we paid off some of the debt we acquired from making the move! What a nice feeling to have it gone! Things were a little stressful around here and it is so nice not having to worry about that now that busy summer is close upon us!
We thought about looking to buy another house but quickly learned that the bank lied to us. We were told that it was okay for us to miss a few payments because when we would sell we were going to make money on the house and be able to pay them back in full! Well we sold the house and payed them back in full and now we cannot buy a house without the people we are buying from signing a realtors contract. Which limits the houses you can look at and you never know if the people will do it until you are signing contracts. We found a couple of houses that we like...one wanted us to give them all our banking info and not just trust out credit scores and out downpayment so we didn't go there. No way we are giving our person info out to regular people! And the 2nd said they would work with us then decided after we went through all the paperwork that they didn't want to so we have since decided to wait a year so we wont have to worry about the stupid contract!
The most annoying thing is that you can forclose on a house or shortsale and get a house with a cosigner or something but we couldn't even do that! So the bank is making it seem that you will get farther in life if you do them dirty. We did things the right way and got screwed! Such a sad sad thing!

Our House in Reno Sold!
Amazing Jump!
Amazing Jump is a warehouse full of trampolines! We went 2 nights in a row because it is seriously so much fun for all ages! There are foam pics, basketball hoops, trampoline's up the wall, a dodge ball area, and kiddie area! We had so much fun! We went at night both times so it was dark inside so next time we go we will go during the day! I didn't get a lot of pictures but the kids had a blast jumping everywhere and we adults loved that we were burning calories!
Cutler turns 2
Can you believe my baby boy is 2 already! I seriously hate that he is already 2 and acts like he is 10! He is still a little mama's boy but is Mr. Independent! He talks way beyond his years which really makes him seem so old! We are going to be potty training him here soon then I will really not have a baby anymore! He is a good napper and normally goes to bed without a fight! He still prefers to go to bed early. Not a night owl like his big sis! He loves playing with cars and balls. We were at the park and he grabbed a stick and a pine cone and walked around throwing the pine cone in the air and hitting it with the stick! He is an athlete for sure and has very good hand eye coordination. He dribbles a soccer ball, shoots baskets, and hits balls all day! And he has a good imagination. While at my mom's house he was using his shoe as a car because he couldn't find a car to play with. My mom then decided she needed to buy more cars! He is the best helper and when he poops takes his diaper, puts it in a bag and then takes it outside and throws it in the big trash can. If you try and help him he gets a little angry. He loves to lock doors, start my washer/dryer, and is always starting the dishwasher! He is as such a fun age minus the temper tantrums but over all he is so fun to be around and is always keeping us entertained!
We went to the doc and she was very impressed with his strength and talking ability!
He weighed 25 lbs and is 35 inches tall. He is my little man for sure!
For his actual birthday we were in Arkansas and then the next day we drove home. And shortly after we got home my MIL and FIL and Brooklyn came down from Colorado to help us celebrate! He got a bike, scooter, cars, trucks, balls and other good boy toys!
One day we went to the zoo and rode the train to the aquarium!
Spring Break in Arkansas!
For Spring Break this year my mom, Rachel, me and all the kids made the drive to Arkansas to see the other kiddos! It was a long drive because we were only expecting it to take 11 or 12 hours and it took 14! That was the worst part but it was so great once we got there! Steph and the boys flew in also so we had all but 1 grandchild there at Abe and Sally's! We didn't have the greatest weather but the kids still had a blast playing together! We rarely heard from the older kids except when they were hungry. Cutler was clingy but still had fun playing with the boys!
The kids enjoyed jumping on the tramp, riding the ranger, pulling each other down the hill, playing in the sand box, climbing into the tree house, and playing the kinect and that was just what they did around Abe and Sally's house! We also got to go on a horse drawn wagon ride, ride some paddle boats, ride horses and pony's, see lots of baby animals, go rollerskating, and so much more. It was a fun filled week and when they did fall asleep they slept like rocks! It was such a fun week and I hope that we can do it more often! My kids thoroughly enjoy the country living and being able to play outside all day!
Now for the overload of pictures!
