Counteroffer
Well, I got a phone call this afternoon and we already have a counteroffer on our house... it is $1000 less than we were expecting and we are going to accept! I'm going to take pictures later so I will post more later!
House offer
Kevin and I made an offer on a house today! We are really excited! We should be hearing back within a day or two about whether the offer was accepted or if they are going to make a counter-offer. 
This is our soon-to-be home... hopefully!

Answered prayers
So, let me tell a story...
About 3 years ago my sister and her husband decided to become foster parents. In September of 2006 they got their first foster kids. One was 1 1/2 years and the other was 1 1/2 months. They were the cutest little boys! Needless to say, the entire family became very attached. My sister and her husband had these boys for almost a year. My sister and her husband love these boys as their own. They really wanted to adopt them and it looked like they were going to be able to. They even went to the temple and had the feeling come to them that these boys were going to be theirs. So, when in July of 2007 they got the dreaded phone call that the boys were going back to their parents the entire family was devastated. It made no sense that they should have the feeling that these boys were meant to be a part of the family.
The same week we found out that the boys were leaving, we also found out that my sister had a brain tumor. She underwent surgery for this in August 2007. Thankfully the tumor was benign (spelling?)... not cancerous... She has since made a full recovery and is what the doctor considers "cured."
Since all this happened my sister and her husband have fostered several children. In April 2008 my sister got a phone call that they had a newborn baby boy that they wanted her to take. She was able to take this baby home from the hospital and while she was there to get him the mother thanked her for taking her baby and giving him a good home. The mother then relinquished her rights. This allowed my sister and her husband to adopt this baby boy. The adoption was final in July of 2008 and they had him sealed to them that same month.
Since this happened they have continued to do foster care. The feeling that those first two little boys belong to them has never left. They have had two foster kids for the last couple of months. A little boy, 3, and a little girl, 19 months. They thought about the option of adoption but they just didn't feel right about it. They told the caseworker and the placement lady this just last week. Well, they received a phone call yesterday (April Fools Day of all days!)... the state wants them to take fhe first two boys back... and this time, it is most likely permanent!!!
We believe that the boys were meant to be part of the family all along. We believe that they had to leave for a short time so that my sister could have her surgery and so that their baby could come to them too. If they hadn't have left then my sister and her husband would not have had the opportunity to adopt their baby.
The Lord works in mysterious ways!! In the end, it turns out how it is supposed to!

Fun at the Park
I know, I know... three posts in one day! I don't know what's gotten into me! Anyway, on Saturday we took the boys to the park so they could get out and burn some energy. I was a lot of fun! Kyson absolutely loved going down the slide once he got used to it!
Above is a picture of Kyson at the bottom of the slide.... I believe Jeron was in a hurry for him to go down so he pushed hiim down face first.
Here comes Jeron!! He also loved the slide!
In this picture Kevin was going to send Kyson down the slide after Jeron went down, but Jeron grabbed Kyson's foot on his way down and brought him down with him.
Just makin' music!
I love how they're looking at each other in this picture!Exercise
Whoever said you video games aren't good exercise has never seen my son play the Wii! He was boxing and he actually did really well! He beat 4 or 5 guys! I was laughing so hard watching him.
family pictures
We decided that since the last family picture we had done was when Jeron was 9 months old, we were long over due for a new one. We got this done on Valentines Day at the portrait studio in Wal-Mart. We had a heck of a time getting Jeron to cooperate. He doesn't do well posing for pictures. The reason the other picture I have of him on here is so good is because I took it when he wasn't expecting it. I'm slouching really bad in this picture and it's because I'm trying to get Kyson to stay on my lap. Out of all of the pictures taken... this one was the best. I actually think I quite like it!
