where is my _______ (fill in the blank)???

moving is a beast.
i think i've pretty much summed up the last week in those few words.
:)

if anyone can tell me where some things are that i'm looking for - you'll win a prize. i know things are in the following spots:
A - the garage
B - the basement storage
C - the family room, under something else
D - in my pantry
E - in the "Office"
F - who knows where

you see - i've got it figured out! i only have to look in about 8 spots before i find what i'm looking for. that - or i get distracted while looking and start working on another project.

as you can imagine, the chubbers was EXTREMELY helpful with moving. he tested every box for size and durability. and sadly, we did have to eliminate a few boxes after he finished "testing" them

who says you can't have "crazy-moving-day-hair"????

as for pics of the house - we don't have any really good ones - yet. but of the few i do have, i'll share my favorites.

my HUGE bedroom window

the front of our house - minus some of the weeds. for those of you who know the Graybills - we refer to our house as the other Graybill house. same layout + minor changes here and there = feels just like home!

my kitchen and awesomely big pantry

don't worry - once we have everything somewhat organized, we'll have a house party and you all can come see it.
well, all of you who live in the same state, that is.
for those of you who live in, say, Arkansas - sorry. you'll have to see it when you come visit. :)

happy birthday to me!

guess what i got for my birthday!

yep - it's true - A HOUSE!!!

i think that's a pretty good present, if you ask me.

family time!

last weekend we had a mini family reunion with my sibs and parents at my parents' house. we all spent the night and had a blast being together.

the kids loved seeing our trailer - it was pretty much the cool place to be.

for the sake of protecting my sisters' identities (and for the sake of one of them not being mad at me for posting this picture), i have cropped their faces out. but if you look close enough - you'll see where their loyalties lie. i thought it was pretty funny that they were both supporting their schools - and didn't even realize there was so much rivalry going on in the kitchen. so i made them pose for a picture.

now, this last picture - i love. it TOTALLY describes my little family. we came outside and someone had arranged our camp chairs like this. how telling! AND - you'll notice who has the most comfortable chair - the hubbers. yep, he's spoiled - but that's cause we love him so much!

july is crazy!

personally, i think the month of july should be mandatory vacation for everyone. i can dream, right?

the chubbers had a birthday and we partied like nobody's business!

his cake. it lasted about 5 minutes.

Jello? yes, please! normal food? no thank you!

what can i say? sometimes it is too hot for anything besides a diaper and your shoes.


Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

"yee-haw - let's get this train moving!"

we hope you all had a safe and fun 4th!
