Counting the Seconds

We're supposed to close tomorrow at 9am........................I don't quite believe it yet. I've been cleaning and packing and working for days. I'm so excited. Except......everyone forgets that there's still lots of work AFTER we move like oh say UNpacking lol. Devin forgot. Funny man. I can't WAIT!!!!

Closer and Closer

We got word that our loan has been secured. PHEW! I have been so upset, cranky, sick and had so much anxiety about all this house stuff. We're still waiting on the outside stuff to be done like the fence, and fixing the AC because they put it on the wrong side of our house. So once that's done we get to close and move! I hope they hurry we only have seven days til we have to be our of the apt. Everything is still crazy. I haven't been able to finish my two cleaning projects because of weather and sickness but hopefully I'll be able to knock them out tonight and tomorrow so I won't have any more stress except the house. At least for a week until I start the next project. Devin is still working away with Fedex and getting ready to take over the business. He's always asking about snowmobiles and trying to convince me why I should let him get another/new/whatever one. Annoying.

Why does Nothing ever work out right?

We're still playing the waiting game. We were originally told April 9th on our house and today is what the 20th? We keep getting the run around and different excuses and reasons why this or that hasn't happened. We're cutting it entirely way too close. I guess the type of loan we have is running out of money at the end of this month so our bank wanted to be closed last week to guarantee that we got the house. And guess what!! Yup there's no end in sight I swear. We're waiting on the fence, and AC to be put in which can't until the city approves the grade on the house which apparently they have a problem with and might make them put in a retaining wall. LA LA LA LALA BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. So we have ten days to get this crap fixed before we have to place to live. Which in my pessimistic thoughts will be me living in my car. UGH I HATE REAL ESTATE and NEW CONSTRUCTION!!!! ugh
ok I've vented I guess

The only other things going on is Emry is loving being outside. He puts his shoes on and his monkey backpack and will go to the front door and bang on it and whine to be let outside to go out our daily (three) walks. It's so much fun. He runs around and yells and points and bends down and puts his hands on his knees and giggles. Man I have an awesome kid! I'm doing more cleaning right now but should be finishing up this building in the next couple days. I have two more weeks on my class that I am in. Then a week break before my next class. Then I have another building of 24 units to clean. That one's gonna be crazy!!! Then lots to do on my hopeful house.

Ryan Deen Edwards

I became an Auntie for the 3rd time Last night :)
He was 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long.


The name they kind of decided on before he was born(they didn't find out the gender) was Remy. Which is super stinking cute for a girl and okay for a boy. But that the letters and switch them around and you got Emry! So we'd have Avery, Emry and Remy. All boys. I don't think so. Anyways they changed their minds and today told us that his name is Ryan Deen Edwards. Which I love!!! It's very cute and so him. The Deen part came from my father's mother. She passed away a few months ago and her name was Ardeen. So they took the deen part. So perfect! Anyway, I don't get to meet this bundle of love for a few months. I can't believe that she didn't have a girl! Now we have three boys and 1 girl. Pressure's on me now to have a girl. OH NO!!!!

Picture Updates

About 2 weeks before Emry turned 1 he learned to walk! I was so happy and it was so much fun to watch him get better and better and now the little man just runs EVERYWHERE!!! I think it's funny that everyone at the stores will ask me how old and I respond that he just turned one. They then ask if he's walking and I say of course. They then think its funny to say, " oh man he's a handful now, into everything." I smile and nod and think not at all. He gets into less now because when he crawled he always tried to get under the bed and in random place. However this last few days I have eaten my words. He now climbs! There are video's at the bottom. Now I laugh at myself everytime someone makes that joke.

This is Emry eating is birthday Cupcake at his birthday party that we had in Utah.

Emry's Friends Lincoln and Cade is in the background. Its the only one I have of Cade. I'm sad.

Emry, Lincoln and Daddy checking out the Awesome new book! Now who's more bald??? LOL JK!!

I just love this picture. Devin's all happy and laughing. Emry's staring at Char trying to figure out who she is and Lincoln had his tongue out thinking he's going to taste the book to see if it's good enought. I LOVE IT!

Emry very happy with his cousin Tili. She gave him a hair brush and he LOVES to brush his hair!

Emry's Cake

Emry and Daddy Dressing up Cowboy style

Progress on our House

Outside is freshly painted. I didn't like the color at first but it's set and not faded but it's not as dark anymore. I love it now.

Back of our house

Progress on our Kitchen. It'll look so much different after we get everything done to it after we move in.

This is our front entry. I love the arch and the little alcove by the door. We just got carpet in so all the trim work and finish hasn't been done yet.

Oh I guess I should tell a bit more about our house. We're supposed to be closing in the next two weeks. The house is 3 bd 2.5 bath. 1388 square feet. When it's finished it'll be fenced in the backyard. We'll be doing the front yard this summer. Our first project will be painting the inside of the house so you'll get to see before and after pictures. Other than that we're very excited about having so much freaking space!!!!

So here's a story. Any chance he gets, Emry will get into a drawer, or a laundry basket when I'm not paying attention. I'll hear a scream of delight and this is ALWAYS what I find. He loves to put things on. He wants to dress himself. It just happens to always be my bra's or garments that he finds to put over his head. So here's a couple picture of him in my sports bras. Devin can't wait to use these pictures as blackmail when he's a teenager dating.

So Happy!

This video is Emry running around after a diaper change. He wouldn't let me button his pants and then I couldn't stop laughing because he looked like a girl from the 1800's that had the big thing under her dress to make it balloon out. Why can't I remember that name right now?

BAD BOY!




Emry doing what he's not supposed to. This has made my life 100 times harder because these bins have been our baby gates. We DESPERATELY need to be into our house!

So this is our Easter Day this Year. I made cookies the day before and Devin pounded them down before the weekend was over. In the video Emry show's off his fabulous eggs and his dancing skills and his random Lollipop finger thing that he just did on his own. I think it's hilarious!

This picture is Emry sitting in his new(but very very old) highchair. It's one of the things we inherited from my grandparents. My aunt who is now 42, sat in this chair. That's how old it is! Anyway the point of the picture is to show you what I'm living in now. If you look at pictures and videos above you'll be able to see what my apartment used to look like and now it looks like a garge. This is what's supposed to be the dining room. HAHA can you find it?
