First I have to apologize for being a crapy blogger lately. Not because we have had nothing going on to blog about. Mostly becuase we have been crazy busy and I haven't taken the time to sit down and write. 
Anyway, the school year is coming to an end which means class picture time. So here is Barry Bretton's Kindergarten class. Can you spot him? He is the goofy one in the top right corner. I know there is always one goofy looking kid in the class but I feel bad it is Barry. So I asked Barry Bretton, "Why is the world are you smiling like that?" He response was, "I was trying to smile my best smile but they were taking forever." So anyway talk about break my heart. At least we will always have this picture to remind us:)
Also to all you moms out there that have children in school, does it get any easier? I mean, everyday I take Barry Bretton to school and everyday I drop him off and watch to see if he gets in the gate safely and everyday I get all misty eyed and start to cry. Really now, I don't consider myself a baby that cries over everything but come on, the school year is almost over and everyday I still cry? I know school is great and he absolutely loves his teacher and attending class but am I just the biggest nerd or do any of you have this problem? Honestly, this is kindergarten and he is gone a whole 2.5 hours every morning. I can't imagine what a wreck I am going to be when he leaves on his mission (it brings a whole new admiration for all those missionary moms out there). Any pointers? I think I just worry to much.
As for house shopping, it really takes up way to much time. We have put a few offers in on a few houses but no takers yet. We have one offer on a short sale home that we heard back from the bank today saying there were a few offer and for everyone to submit there final and best offer. Can I just say that is completely annoying. Why waste my time? I already submitted my FINAL and BEST offer a month ago thank you. So anyhow we submitted the same exact offer....again (we should have submitted a lower one just out of spite) although the house is beautiful I am not holding my breath. Banks and the house buying process are really starting to get on my bad side. I mean how hard is it to look at a fact sheet and see which offer has the best bottom line. Really does it take a month? Only to start the process over again. Come on people! So SOMEDAY we might get into a home again.

I feel for you on the house buying issue. It is such a pain. Let me know if I can help in any way and good luck.
Oh, he is not the only one! I think he is cute! If it makes you feel better, Bekah is not smiling in any of the pictures her preschool teacher took of her.
Moving and the decisions that come with it are so hard. Hang in there and remember that there is no stress that prayer and chocolate can't handle! :)
Good luck on the house hunting. You should just move on out here. Lots of fields for neighbors. Barry would be in heaven. And I can just imagine your garden.
1. Barry's picture. Cute! Don't be embarrassed. Get used to it. It's frustrating that we can't be there to fix their hair just before the picture's taken or remind them to smile nice! Ahhh!
2. In my experience, it gets a little easier as time goes on (first grade will probably be the hardest when he's gone all day); but there's something about watching your precious children walking away into someone else's scare that brings tears to the eyes. Keep up the good work!
3. Why does real estate have to be a game? Why can't the seller decide how much a home is worth, and if a buyer can afford it, they get it? Frustrating! Good luck I know it will all work out!
