~Hopeful~

Well, my Dad's house is in the current process of being sold. Which for us meant, it was time to quit dragging our feet and find a house. We have spent the past several months searching and searching for a house. After one failed offer and lots of "potentials" we finally found one. Our offer has been accepted. If all goes well with the inspection and everything else, we will be moving to our new home shortly. Here is a sneak peek of what it looks like...

9

Preston turned the big "9" today! Since it was Sunday we spent the day at church and at home. Grammie, Grandpa Ferguson, Grandma Ferguson, and Aunt Rebecca came up for a little get together. We had Preston's favorite dinner, haystacks. Cake and ice cream. Then we opened presents. Preston has found a new love for Harry Potter and a new love for Legos. So all he wanted were Harry Potter Lego sets. He got three of them! He even got Hogwarts!! He was so excited!! We are planning a birthday party for Preston and Tyson combined, but that will be in a few weeks. Happy Birthday, Preston! We love you!!

Preston/Wolf Badge

Preston received his wolf badge in Cub Scouts on Tuesday. He has been finished for a while--but we were out of town and unavailable. He loves cub scouts. I was a Den Mother for a while, but I wasn't in scouting long enough to see any of my Den receive their awards. So this was a cool experience for me. Preston had to put a wolf pin on me-upside down. Then he can turn it right side up as soon as he does a good deed. I think the scouting program is really neat. I am very grateful for the things he is learning and achieving.

Preston also lost another tooth this week. I don't know why he is sooo funny about us not touching them. He gets so upset when we tell him to wiggle them. We literally have to hold him down and pull them out. He got $2 from the Tooth Fairy this time. (She's a cheap-o!)

Preston will also be turning 9 tomorrow!!! (Post soon to follow!)

Cheer Camp

I signed Addyson up for cheer camp at our local high school. It's a fundraiser the girls do for their squads. She spent last week learning 2 cheers and a dance. It was really fun to watch Addy. She did a pretty great job considering her age. It really made me miss being a cheerleader. I think I need to coach a squad--however I guess I will wait and do that when my life isn't being controlled by homework! :) There are some cute pictures of Addy on my facebook page--but I wanted to make sure I shared this video. This is one of the cheers they performed during half time of Friday's game!
