YEA!!!!

Our house went under contract today! We had three showings on Tuesday, and one of them came back to look again, then they made an offer on Wednesday, and accepted our counteroffer today. It happened so fast, and adds some stress about finding a house to buy, but we realize how blessed we are to have sold so quickly in this economy. Hopefully everything will work out and we will be able to move right from this house into a new one with no in-between time. Let the house hunting begin!

For Sale

Yes, we really finally did it. We put our house on the market to sell. We've been discussing it since last summer when Matt found out his job will be moving to Riverton this summer. I know we have told a lot of people we had decided to wait until after the baby came, and I'm sure lots of you think we are really flaky for changing our minds so much, but last week we just decided we felt good about doing it now, so we did it. If any of you know someone who is interested, please pass on the information! We are listed on KSL.com and on the MLS (#871668). There is also an online tour at http://www.realestateshows.com/show.php?id=384775 . We are listed with One Rate Real Estate, but if we have a buyer who doesn't have a realtor, we can opt out of our contract and do a for sale by owner and avoid realtor fees. We would love that! Anyway, we will see what happens in the next couple of months. If we don't sell by June we will take the house off the market until after the baby comes. I just have to have faith that whatever is supposed to happen will happen, and it will be for the best.

Fun weekend

We went to the Clearfield Aquatic Center on Saturday. Addy has been asking to go for months, and we finally got around to it. Both of the kids love the big twisty slide - McKay would want to go again as soon as he got done with a slide. Matt was a good sport about climbing the stairs over and over, since I couldn't go. It was a fun time. I feel like I need to get some fun things in with the kids before the baby comes, since I know how time consuming a new baby is. The kids also had a good time this weekend playing outside on their bikes and scooters. McKay got a "big kid" bike a few weeks ago, since he always wanted to ride Addy's bike, and he could ride it better that he could his tricycle (it is a badly designed tricycle.) Anyway, every time we are in the garage for any reason and he sees his bike, he wants to go for a ride. It's actually really nice that he can just hop on and away he goes - no more pushing him around. Now if the weather would just decide to stay nice so all the snow would melt (again), we would all be so happy. (I just realized I didn't actually get any pictures of McKay on his bike, just his scooter- oh well, you'll have to imagine.) The kids also had fun making chocolate chip cookies with Dad on Sunday. I wonder what the mystery ingredient was this time? (It turned out to be Stephens peppermint cocoa. Matt can't make anything without adding his own twist to the recipe. They actually were quite good.)
