Adventures!!!

So, a little trouble at the bank today! Went to the ATM outside the bank to make a deposit, and right in the middle of the deposit, it popped up and said "Your card has been retained, please call your financial institution!" So, almost late to make it to the post office, I go inside to make the deposit and find out what the heck was going on, and had to sit and "chat" with this guy. Turns out, he said the card was never activated; which I find weird, I really thought I had used it, but I guess not... So, I was trying to hurry out of there, and of course, there was no clock in sight.. I get out to the car, and the clock said 4:59. I thought for sure I could run the package in real quick, but it turns out that they lock the thing EXACTLY on time on Friday! I was quite frustrated to say the least!
Well, we are going on a family trip tomorrow to pick some huckleberries! I can't wait to make some ice cream! We went last year and found a great spot with a ton of them; the "motherload" as Kyle would say... The kids had a lot of fun, and we enjoyed the pancakes and ice cream while it lasted! We are hoping to find some tomorrow and get lots of fun pictures!

Kyle bought this cool body book for the kids a little while ago, that came with this cool puzzle... check it out!

Life Size Puzzle!!!

So, it has been a couple days, but not much is going on.. Just hanging out! I made "D" a cape this morning, and it is so funny, he said that it was a "Magician Cape," so he decided to do a magic trick for me and pull a penny out of my ear... So he reached up, shoved the penny in my ear, and then reached up and took it out! HaHa.. Kids do the silliest things! I also made "A" a cute little pink and white polka - dot skirt.. Pretty cute. We are planning on going to Montana on Thursday to go and look at a house. We are going to camp while we are there, and will be there for the weekend! I am excited to finally see the area where we will be living!

Clean, Clean, Clean

So, I feel like I haven't really done anything lately, other than clean. I am trying really hard to keep the house clean, so that when I get a phone call that there will be a showing, I am not running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!!! I guess it is kinda nice because my house is almost always clean now. The kids are getting a little annoyed with it I think though, because I am constantly asking them to pick up their toys!
Well, we found a house in Montana that we are really interested in, so we might go and check it out soon, along with a couple other homes. It sits on 30 acres, so we would pretty much have a forest in our back yard! Cool huh? I am really anxious to get over there and get settled soon; hopefully! Ta Ta :o)

No training wheels...

So, I had to post again, because we hit another big milestone! Dresden learned to ride his bike with no training wheels. He actually learned on Aunt Jenny's Birthday, but I got some pictures yesterday, oh yeah, and the kids also had a "bike wash". I remember doing it when I was little and oh man did they have a blast!

Still Waiting...

So, there's not really any new news since last time, but we have decided to lower the price of the house. We are hoping that we will start getting some more interest... I know that it will happen when it is supposed to, but I am really hoping that it is sooner, rather than later, even though I am not looking forward to moving away from all of my wonderful friends that I have here. I am not looking forward to the day that I have to say goodbye..( I will just make sure not to wear mascara.. :0) I love all of you and thank you all for being such amazing friends!

New Pictures!

Gaby wasn't tired!!!
My handsome man!
Charmer:)







This should be in a Pepsi commercial!!!
Playing with glow sticks!


So, I have been talking about getting new pictures on here for a while, and I was trying to make a slide show to put on here, but I am having some difficulty... I went and made an album capzles.com, but don't know for sure if I can put it on the blog. So, for now I will just post a few here and there. If anyone wants to look at them, the link is www.capzles.com/allred-family. I will be getting more on there as I have time, so be patient with me... :) There have been no more bites on the house so far, but we are staying positive. Wish us luck!

Finally Home!

Wow, we are finally home after three weeks of being gone! It was a great vacation, but it is good to be home and back in the swing of things... Things are going good, but I wish the house would hurry up and sell.. we had a showing yesterday, but I guess we will wait and see. The kids are doing great, and I am getting ready for Dresden to start Kindergarten, and it doesn't seem possible! I hope everyone is doing well!

Oh, the Places we'll go!!!

Wow, so we just got home from Utah on the 29th and boy was the trip home an interesting one. We missed our flight so we had to wait and get on the next flight to Portland and then connect on another plane to Seattle. We should have arrived home around 7:30 and didn't actually get there until 11:30. We are now preparing to drive to Idaho tomorrow for a couple days. My family reunion is up by Coeur d'Alene, so we will be camping out for a few days. Everything else is pretty much the same; our home is still on the market and hopefully it sells soon. I want everyone to know how much I am going to miss them when I leave... I have made such wonderful friends here and that is the hardest part of this move!!! I love you all! I will be posting some pictures shortly!

GUILTY!

Ok, So I am feeling a little (okay.. a lot) guilty because I have not posted in over a month, only to get on and discover that a certain friend of mine with a 2 day old baby managed to have time, and energy to post. So, hopefully that will inspire me to be a little bit better about posting!!!
Well, we are actually in Utah right now visiting family, and will return home on the 29th, only to turn around and drive to Idaho a day or two later! Our home is currently on the market and we are hoping to sell quickly... Maybe even while we are gone. Kyle's little brother Garren is preparing to serve a mission and we are visiting him for the last time before he departs. He flies out on August 7th and he will be serving in the England London South Mission. We are very excited for him, but will miss him lots!
Other than that, there isn't a whole lot going on; the kids are great and having so much fun on vacation, and Kyle is working his behind off like usual :) I will be happy to get home and see everyone and of course Jennis and Justin's new little Taylor. It is pretty much driving me crazy that I am not there to see her! Best of Luck to All!

More of the Photo Shoot!

And another one! They love him SO much!

Suckers from Grandpa Niel!!!
Imagine that :)

Crazy!

Geez, last time I said that I couldn't believe that it had been two months, well... I have just beat that, by a ways! :) It has been 4 months now, and there has just been so much going on! Things have been getting pretty hectic, as we are getting the house ready to put on the market, and looking for houses in Montana! I just did a little fun photo shoot of the kids, and thought that everyone might enjoy the pictures! They are getting so stinkin' big! Enjoy!

Wow, I cannot believe that it has been almost 2 months since I have posted! Days just fly by, and I stay pretty busy, with my online classes, taking Dres and Ary to school, and trying to keep up with housework! Dresden is 5 now, and I definitely believe that more attitude comes with the number or something, HOLY COW! But, after all I am "so mean" you know. I think I get told that on a daily basis now, so, I am quickly becoming used to it! Dresden also decided the other day, that he was " Never going to listen to me ever again." Boy, oh Boy, is he mistaken! Well, I just finished some homework, and I had better start getting something ready for dinner! It is Valentines Day after all... Well, I hope that you all have a wonderful Valentines Day, and all the others as well!
Here is a fun picture of Dresden when he was wrestling... Now, he should be starting T-Ball here pretty soon! Man, it sure is amazing how innocent and sweet he can look at times... Talk to you all later!

Getting back to normal!

Well, now that Christmas is all done... I can finally relax; as much as you can with three little ones! I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We are doing great! Our house is finally getting back to normal, and I am really pleased about that. I will be posting some new pictures on here really soon... So, check back in a day or two! Love You all!

Sorry, it's been a couple days since I last posted... Things get real busy this time of year. Things are going good. I am completely ready for Christmas, which is rare, as in never happens! So, I am so proud of myself. I started very early this year. We are all doing really good! The kids are on Christmas break now, and Gaby is pretty excited about that. She really misses them while they are at school. It won't be long though before she is going to school. Man, I can't believe that Dresden will be in Kindergarten next year!!! He is getting so big. They all are! Well, I am gonna go and get ready for the day! Have a great one!

Birthday and Potty Training!

I just posted new pictures of Gaby wearing her birthday present from Grandma Karen! She loves it so much! Aryana decided that now that she has that dress, she can be her "baby cinderella"! Thank You Grandma! :) We love you and miss you bunches! Can't wait to see you! Gaby is getting potty trained pretty quickly. She told me that she had to go the other day, and she has been doing a pretty good job since then. I am really looking forward to it!!!

Back to School!

So, the kids went back to school today, after being sick for two weeks... The teachers said they were very "busy". I love their use of words. They were very excited to go back! And so was I, trust me... I am finally done Christmas shopping! Completely! Well, I will be getting some new pictures on here soon. We are going to build a gingerbread house tonight, and I am sure that there will be some interesting pictures to post! I am really looking forward to it, and so are they! It should be a lot of fun. We love you all, and hope to hear from everyone soon! Happy Holidays!

So far, the day has been going great... The kids are pretty anxious to go back to school on Monday. For those of you who did not know, they have been sick (walking pneumonia) and are finally getting better. They are growing up so fast, I cannot hardly believe it. They are also getting really anxious for Christmas, and it works to my advantage, because I make sure and let them know that Santa is watching them all the time.
