We put an offer on it a couple weeks ago. It’s a great spot for the next phase of our lives. We are looking forward to moving into a bigger place. This one has three living areas, so we should be able to keep the toys under control (at least as much as can be hoped. :) I’ve attached a small picture of the front of the house here:

We close on May 30th. It looks like the owners will need it for a couple of days past that, so we’ll have it by the first Saturday in June. After that, we have a lot of work to do on paint and flooring before we move. Plus, we haven’t even listed our house yet (we meet with the realtor tonight). I’ll keep you posted, but we will probably move sometime in mid June.

Peace!

I’m not sure why, but the kid really enjoys it. On kind of a whim, I thought we should put him in a little league. It’s themed of the Shrek III movie coming out this spring. So, after 16 weeks, members of the “league” get a bowling ball with characters from the movie on it. That’s the thing I think he’s most excited about.

The league itself is pretty fun. Most of the teams are a parent and a child. Tiff and I are able to switch out, so some weekends I go and some she goes. There are a couple of kid only teams – two siblings or two friends. All in all, there are only about 8 to 10 groups. The league meets on Sunday afternoons.

Here is a shot I snapped of him about to bowl today.

It only took me 6 years to do it. For those not familiar with the event, it’s a couple of weeks of non-stop fun – rodeo, concerts, stock show, fair etc. This year, Tiff and I got to go see Alan Jackson. It was a great show. I tried to take a picture, but I only had the cell phone camera:

It was fun to see a rodeo too. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to one. Here are a couple of shots:

I got the tickets as a Christmas Present. Consequently, we accidentally threw them away, so I had to go through a couple of exercises to get new ones, but it all worked out.

Yee Haw!
