WE SOLD OUR HOUSE IN N.C.!!!!!

I will spare everyone the gory details of what we have been through with this house selling ordeal....and actually we still have MANY issues to resolve before the "closing date" at the end of September....BUT it is pretty much a done deal!! Even if the people back out, our relocation package included buying our house from us if someone backed out of a contract.

Oh mercy...what a RELIEF I tell ya....

Thanks to everyone for your prayers!! :)

HOUSTON...WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

I, Sheri Ahlborn, am a Bear Naked Fruit and Nut Granola ADDICT!! Help!! Not only is this stuff the MOST delicious food ever...its also the most expensive granola I think you can buy AND its LOADED with fat. But MY MY MY...its really delish...you should try it. :)

An Aunt Leslie Weekend

Aunt Leslie, Gene's lil sis, came to visit us from Oklahoma for the weekend and it was so nice! We are still laughing about her dating experiences in Oklahoma...so glad she can have such a great sense of humor about some of the "fun" she has had! :) She was kind enough to watch the kids while Gene and I went to have an hour and a half of some much needed alone time....THANKS LESLIE!!

We also went swimming at the pool...



Went to Graeter's for the first time to get YUMMY icecream and sorbet....

See that black shirt Austin is wearing in the pic above? Uncle Brad got that for him in June from King's Island....and he wears it 4 days a week or more. I have to literally rip it off his back to be able to wash it...no joke!! Thanks Uncle Brad! :)







And Leslie played way too many games with the kids....she's gonna need to sleep an extra 8 hours after all that I'm sure!!!

Our Baker-Boy

Austin has REALLY gotten into cooking lately. Mostly because Gene and I have finally given-in to his begging to be able to cook in the kitchen all by himself! :)
So on Monday while Gene and I spent the day on the phone back and forth having heated discussions with realtors in N.C.....Austin heated a few things up himself! Can you see those cookies and those loaves of bread?? Made by Austin...all by himself!! AND they tasted GOOOOOOOD!!! We LOVE our Baker-Boy!!

FHE Softball Night

We were invited to go play softball with about 4 other families in our Ward (church) on Monday night for Family Home Evening. It was so fun and the kids just loved it! I would have more pictures but I ended up chasing William around the majority of the time as he played on a playground that was right next to the field...he just couldn't get into the whole softball thing. :)


This is a pic of Isaac up to bat and Austin helping him...

You PICK your battles... :)

It all started late Saturday night when Audrey was picking out what she would wear to church Sunday morning. She has this ritual where she picks something out that she knows is inappropriate to wear to church, and then comes and asks Gene or I if she can wear it to church. (She usually picks one of her ballerina or dress-up dresses) We then remind her that she KNOWS she can't wear THAT to church! After which she ALWAYS stomps off saying "Oh! I just don't have ANYTHING beautiful to wear to church!" When actually she has a closet full of dresses that SHE picked out from various clothes shopping trips.

But this last Saturday Gene and I BOTH were very tierd ....usually the less tierd one gets to help her finish picking out what to wear to church....but because we were BOTH tierd...she wore this FABULOUS, most GLORIOUS wedding dress TO CHURCH!!

Audrey did however decide that wearing the veil to church would be a bit much... :)

In case you are wondering...these pics were taken last year after her sweet Aunt Natalie sent her this glorious most beautiful dress for her birthday!!
