We finally got an offer on our house and came to an agreement with the couple. We should be closing sometime between July 1st and the 15th. What a huge relief it is to know that we will no longer have that to worry about. We really loved that house and the land all around it and are so glad that someone who will love it just like we did will be buying it. So far we haven't had to go back to Sargent and have been able to email paper work back and forth for signatures. I'm sure once our current tenants move out we will go back to make sure everything is good for the closing. Actually I am planning on taking all 5 kids back to the fair in Sargent the 7th and 8th. I took the girls last year and they have literally talked about it for the last. They are very excited to go back to ride all the rides and go to the parade. I know there are a lot of different fairs around here we could go to but there's just something about going back to the fair in Sargent. Probably because it's my home town and it brings back a lot of memories for me. As long as the girls like going we will try to make it a yearly tradition until our schedules just get too full for it. The big kids get out of school on June 3rd and I can hardly wait! I think we have all decided that our vacation this summer is going to be going to worlds of fun and oceans of fun in Kansas City. All the big kids want to go there and it's been a long time since Scott or I have been so it should be a good time. I'm not sure if the girls will have that much fun but really can't stand the thought of not taking them. I'm sure though they would be just as happy going to the museum here in Lincoln or even something new in Omaha. We haven't set a date yet but will probably be over some weekend because Hieu will have summer school most of the summer. In July another very exciting thing is going to happen..Tate's foster parents are coming to visit from Mississippi! We are so excited and can't wait to see them. We have been to MS a couple times since we got Tate but they have never been here. I'm not sure what all we will do while they are here but we are hoping that we can meet both our families somewhere for a picnic so everyone can meet them. They will also be traveling to Grand Island for a few days to visit another family that they were foster parents for their son. I have met them once when the girls and I were in MS last summer but haven't seem them since so it will be nice to see them again too. Seems strange we live a little over an hour away but have only managed to meet up while we were both visiting in MS! The whole last week of July Scott has to take vacation and that is the week they are planning on visiting so it should work out great.
Over the last couple weeks Tatum and Keely were both sick with colds/sinus problems. Actually everyone kind of had a cold but the two girls just couldn't seem to get over it. Last Tuesday during the night Tatum was up a few times saying she was having pain. We were a little surprised since every other time she has had a pain crisis it's been from her getting to cold or something like that. I ended up having to start her on her hydrocodone when I couldn't get the pain under control with just ibuprofen. I took both of them to the doctor and they were prescribed antibiotics and more pain meds for Tate. All day Wednesday I was having trouble getting the pain under control. That evening I was finally able to get it so both meds could be given at the same time and it worked great! That has been the answer to controlling her pain the last couple times she has had crisis at home. Finally over the last weekend we were able to quit the hydrochodone and now she is feeling much better. Both of the girls are feeling great now. I think everyone might quit getting sick if the weather would make up its mind. I am really getting tired of all the rain but did enjoy one great day of sun this week. It sound like it's going to be a very nice weekend and hot next week. This Saturday all of us are going to meet all my family on my mom's side for a picnic in Kearney. It should be a very nice day so the little kids can play together. I'm sure my big kids will be bored but oh well its good for them. Sunday Scott's mom will be coming through Lincoln so we are going to have brunch with her too. Going to be a busy weekend. AND..Friday night they are having a kids night out at our YMCA from 7-10 so Scott and I may get to go on a date! Haven't decided what we will do since we really don't know what a date is anymore but we will figure out something. The two oldest kids have been grounded again a lot lately it seems and I am really getting tired of grounding them and having them home with us pouting all weekend. Surely someday they will learn to do what they are suppose to?? Tj is doing pretty well too even though he has had some consequences for not so great behaviors. All in all he is a very good kid and we are so lucky to have him in our family. Tonight our whole family is going to a light/music/choreography/ show at Haley and Hieu's high school. It's called electrophonics and Hieu has been to it before and said it's really good. I sure hope it's exciting enough to keep Tate and Keely entertained. Well now that it feels like I have been rambling on and on I better end it here but still have more topics I want to write about one of these days. Have a great weekend everyone!
