Catching up and trying to do better!

Okay so here are some updates on my summer!

1. The MOVE~
We currently have our house on the market and need any one's help and prayers selling it. It is listed with Coldwell Bankers and it is on line so send any friends that way! We also have 12 acres in Rogersville that is for sale and I am willing to make a deal! LOL!
I have accepted a job at a Fine Arts Academy and there are just a few hoops to jump through with my certification and the job is mine. Prayers needed as well!
Jason has had 2 interviews with Pepsi Co for a manufacturing position. We are still looking for other options as well.
We have spent about 10 days this month in OK working on jobs and housing. My dad and Brad are living their dreams and very happy in OK.
Jason fishes way to much when we are there ;0).
AND my in-laws have finally accepted (not happy about, but accepted) that we are moving.
2. Jenna and the bedtime adventures~
Okay so Super Mom Stacy was correct when she told me that if I would just let her cry herself to sleep she'd sleep. The first night was terrible! BUT, she puts herself to sleep now. At nap time she doesn't make a peep, just goes to sleep on her own. At bedtime, she is still getting a sippy cup of milk (only because she will only drink milk then!), but when she finishes Daddy lays her in bed and most nights she stays asleep or fusses a few times but we ignore her and she sleeps. TO ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS: do this when they are 4 or 5 months (or days) old and your life will be so much better!
3. Ashlee & Brady:
Ashlee is busy playing softball and has already made new friend in her new school district (a boy across the street).
Brady turned 6 today and had a bowling party with friends. I will post pictures later.
4. Summer:
I am soooooo enjoying being a SAHM more than I ever thought I would. Jenna and I have got into such a great routine. She sleeps until 9 every morning (and frankly I do to most mornings!), we then play for an hour or so. We try to get some work done or just hang out all morning. She goes down for a nap at 12:30 or 1, just in time for DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I usually watch it while doing laundry. She sleeps for 2 hours or so which gives me Shawna time. Then we make dinner and go to ball games or just hang out with Daddy. I didn't think I had the patients to be a SAHM but I am beginning to wonder. Today I actually had time to do a craft project, take 2 five year olds and 2 six year olds (along with 3 other moms, Jenna and a 2 year old) bowling, pick up a cake, hang out for a few minutes at Ash's ball practice, and still have home-made spinach and cheese stuffed manacotti for dinner (which I had made earlier). Now tomorrow may be a different story but today I am loving summer time!
5. JENNA IS WALKING ALL OVER THE PLACE!
