House hunting

We plan to buy a house, eventually.
So yesterday I was driving passed a house and I had the sudden urge to see what it was like inside. I called the realtor and we walked thru. I hated it! LOL and I am kinda glad about that. I was so afraid that I was going to just love every house I saw and would be disapointed when I couldn't have it. But I see now that it is going to take a lot of looking to find something I am actually going to like.
We signed with Stephanie to be our buyers agent and show us more houses. Hopefully that will give me and Tyson some practice and smarten us up before we are actually ready to start looking seriously.

Cashing in

We took our coins to the bank today. We loved the sorting machine. All we had to do was dump all our coins in and it sorted and counted for us. It had the same thrill of a slot machine or winning the lottery.LOL! The little Zuka Juice Jar is what Tyson and I collected for about a year and a half. The neck on my jar is just small enough that quarters would get stuck, so there were only pennies, nickles and dimes in it. The large jar is a gift from Grandma and Grandpa Hansen. There were only a few pennies in the large jar. It was mostly quarters. Can you guess from the pictures how much money we had??

the small jar had $59.36

the large jar had $360.

We put the money from grandma and grandpa into our savings account, and then we split the cash from the little jar, and went shopping. I got Scrapping supplies, and Tyson is probably going to get a game for one of his game systems.

TYSON ~~~ Employee of the Month


I am really proud of my husband Tyson! He was awarded the Employee of the Month at the Wal-Mart Distribution Center. He was praised for his work ethic and perfect attendance.
He really enjoys his job.
This is a picture of him and Thomas "playing" Lego Star Wars on the PS2 together.
I really like that Tyson's job is 4 days a week. I work part time on the days that he is home to watch Thomas. It has given the boys a chance to really bond. Thomas was such a momma's boy, and I guess he still is, but now he at least knows that Daddy is there for him too.
