Long time no see

It has definitely been way too long since my last post. There have been lots of changes at the Florer household. Another job for me( reason why posts have stopped) and a new addition to our pet family. I will be gathering my pictures and posting at least once a week , at least that is the goal...;)

Beach Time

 Beach time is always fun, no matter how cold it is. These two kiddos had so much fun, and didn't even care if their toes were frozen. No complaints that day. One thing to remember is that we had to soak up all the coldness that we could get...we were going back home to a blazing 109 degrees.

 

Great America

 We are off to see Charlie brown and the gang. Great America here we come. We went with Joeys brother and his wife and son Andrew, and we also took Kaytlyn with us (of course). We had a great weekend to say the least. We went to the beach, ate some delicious seafood and topped it off with Great America. Oh, I can't forget the awesome firework show at the end of the day. Again I hear the words..."This is the best day ever". The picture with the the guy flying in the air is my crazy husband. He is a true daredevil.

Monster Jam

 Monster Jam is so awesome. Those were the words I heard over and over when my two guys got home that night. My son was in monster truck heaven. Gravedigger is his favorite of course, so he just had to wear his super cool Gravedigger shirt. I love watching him when he is so excited like this...it is truly priceless.

It has been quite some time since my last post. So many things have happened in the last few months. We bought a home, and during one of the busiest times for me work-wise. Making as much time as I could to finish the workload I had this year, and putting my house together has been a huge undertaking. My main computer is playing funny games with me and so many of my pictures are on that computer. I will have to update my blog when we fix that computer. My laptop is what I am using now, and there are not so many pictures on this one, but I am working on it. I also published my book, and started a blog for ordering and talking about my book writing. The blog site is...kimbosbooks.blogspot.com. Also during this time we have built a shed for our backyard, dug up old sod in the front yard and put new sod ourselves, built a dog run for our 2 dogs, and I almost forgot, we fixed the entire sprinkler system in the front before the new sod went in...we are pooped! We need to finish the front with flowers and solar lights, then to the backyard we go. That is a big job since there is no grass at all. Well, that is what we have been up to the last couple of months, and I will try to get those pictures up as soon as possible.

Take me out to the ball game

My little guy won tickets to the Grizzlies game from school...Yippee!!! Good job Joey! He was very excited to say the least. He brought his mitt, just in case, but no luck catching a ball. We had a blast anyway and look forward to going again real soon. Hot dogs, seeds, peanuts, root beer...and don't forget all the goodies from the gift shop. He said he had "The best day ever". Little does he know that next week daddy is taking him to the Monster Jam. He is one lucky little boy!

Our home

My last post was back in January when we made an offer on the first house we were looking at. Well that offer got rejected as the seller did not want to fix some much needed repairs...anyhoo, we looked at some more homes after that, and just grew tired of looking at homes that needed repair immediately. We were also looking to stay in a certain price range so we don't hate our mortgage. My hubby was looking on-line one late night after work and found a home he wanted to look at. In the morning he asked me about it, and asked why we have not put it on our list. I told him I had not seen it before, it must be a new listing. It was a new listing, so we looked, we liked and made an offer. It is not in the same area we live in now, but it is only 5 years old and has no repairs to be done. We are spoiled to at least 1900 sq feet and a corner lot, and a family room. This one has all but is not a corner lot. No biggie...we love this home. The previous owner put a lot of extras in this home like crown molding throughout, and this beautiful tile...love it! Escrow is closing any day now, and we have been packing for a week. Hope to be moving in this weekend or early next week. It is a foreclosure and the bank wants it to close by march 2nd. Yippee!
