Bungee!

We promised the kids a trip to the mall to bungee jump. All 3 took a turn. Haylee just seemed bored due to the pain inflicted from the straps. Preston's video is the best to watch. Notice how Hannah is saying "I don't want to go that high!" in the background? Yeah, that was a problem when she got on next, but she learned to love it after a few minutes.

Hannah's Big Day

Saturday was a big day for Hannah. She scored her first soccer goal of the season! GO TEAM HANNAH!

Also, she finally decided to get over her fear of riding a bike without training wheels. She'd had a dream that she could do it and decided to try. Also, she knows there's no hope of getting a skateboard for her birthday if she can't balance herself on a bike!

Pics of New House

Well, it's probably obvious that we've had a busy few months and I've not had a chance to blog all the work we've been doing. We closed on our new house on July 17th and within a week, ten gallons of paint had gone onto the walls. Lots of cleaning had to be done- dusting cobwebs, degreasing light switches and doorknobs, but it was in good shape for our July 24th move-in.

There are many more projects to be done, especially the kitchen & in the yard, but here are some "after" pictures to share: (see the previous blog for the "before" pics)

Tomboy Hannah is thrilled with her blue room and new plaid bedding:

Preston's room is also blue with red accents and action heros:
