Just Playin'...

We are slowly getting settled into our new house. I am having a serious dilemma though, almost all of our walls on our side of the house are cinder-block (?spelling?), which means since we are renting I don't want to go and drill holes in the brick and have to worry about filling it when we move out. I have tried those sticky hook things, and they worked for about a week and then just last week we would all of a sudden hear a crash of some sort to find things falling off the walls. ARRRGGGHHH! I can't stand having bare walls! Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

But on a happier note, Jake is getting used to his room and the house in general. He always wants to go outside, and everytime we take him out he thinks that he can just walk across the street to his cousin's house. It is very sweet that he loves going over there so much, but scary when he bolts toward the street. The other day we went out in our backyard (which is currently ALL dirt) and we were cleaning out his pool and getting it ready for him to swim in the next day and this is what happened:

I was a little bummed cause those shoes were brand new, but the fun that he had totally made up for it. The last picture Brad is spraying him off with the hose, he didn't really care for that too much.

Some of you may know...some not. But Brad just started working the night shift at his job. It will be a bit of a pay cut, but I am going back to work, almost full-time, and so we are hoping that will more than make up for the decrease in his paycheck. The only reason why it is going to be a pay cut is cause he won't be getting as many hours of over-time, so he is working 45 hours a week instead of 56. Last night was his first night and he said it was really hard to stay awake, but we are hoping that after a couple of weeks his body will have adjusted, so it isn't so hard. It's weird but I am kind of excited to be getting more hours at work. I know crazy, right? But I guess it is cause I really like my job and I also like all of the people that I work with.

Boring post..I know.

We are moved...

Well we finally did it. We moved into the new house we are renting. If I remember I will post pictures later on after everything is all in it's place. We are going to be sharing the house with my parents for about a year to help us get caught up on stuff that we fell behind on due to my hours getting cut back at work and cars breaking down and stuff that happens like that, ya know, LIFE! :) The funny thing is is that this is the first house that my parents bought after we moved here from Oregon like 15+ years ago and then the guy that bought it after us fixed it up real nice and is renting it out. My brother lives across the street from us so Jacob will be closer to his cousin and we also have a big backyard for Jacob to play in, just waiting for the grass to go in in about another month, which will be perfect cause that is about when it will start to cool down here. So all in all we are very excited!
