Home Owners

Daddy and I will soon be home owners, YAY!!!


We signed the loan documents on Tuesday afternoon and now we are just waiting for our money!
We are so sad because daddy won't be there when we finally close and can move in. He left for Japan yesterday morning and won't be back for a little while.
Here's our new home

Sorry it's so small but I haven't taken a picture of the front of the house and this is a picture from the listing. You can go here to see more pictures of the house.

Last Weekend

This was the last weekend with Daddy before he leaves for Japan in a few days. We had a pretty laid back weekend.
We went to the Garlic Festival on Friday, Dave was still in SD, I brought my camera but left the memory card in the truck so I couldn't take any pictures, the worst part is that I had to lug my camera around and it's sooo heavy! We tried several different garlic foods, the worst was garlic ice cream and you can pretty much guess what it taste like, garlic, it was NOT good.
Saturday we just hung out, we did not sign house papers. It was really hot so Cali sported a new hair style.

We did pretty much nothing on Sunday too, Dave went back to SD. Cali was really mad for some reason so she didn't want so say bye, fortunately I have to drive to SD so that we can sign papers so I get to see Daddy one more time before he leaves. Keep your fingers crossed that we actually get the house this week.
After Dave left Cali wanted to go with him. She got her purse and walked to the truck.

So instead of going for a drive we went for a walk. Cali LOVES going for walks it really relaxes her.

San Diego Fun

Well it looks like we will be signing papers on Saturday, but who knows if we will.
We went to San Diego this last weekend for a friend's baby shower. It was so nice to go back but it made me miss it even more.
We went to their baby shower

Thrown by this crazy person... I will admit she's one of my good friends

Okay I will admit she's one of my good friends
Can you believe she's the mother is this cute baby?

We had a good time at the shower but I think Cali had more fun hanging out with her little friends.
Cali got to ride Bethany's bike and she looked so cute in the helmet
"Peace"

And that was our weekend.
This picture was from last week sometime.
Yummy Popsicle that she wouldn't share

Too Much Shopping

Well we still don't have a home and might not have a home before Dave leaves for Japan.
But we figured that we are close enough to closing so we have started buying house stuff. We couldn't help ourselves.
We purchased this stove

It was on sale at Sears and it will take 3 weeks to arrive so we figured we might as well hit "buy."
We bought this fridge

the one we were going to get from Ikea (which we found 3 weeks ago) is out of stock and they don't know when it will be back in stock but they do know that when it is back in stock the price will increase by $500. I started freaking out when I heard that because I haven't seen a French door, bottom freezer for that prize anywhere else, I guess Ikea figured that out too.
So I immediately started looking online for another fridge. I found that one one sale at Sears but it was smaller than the Ikea one so I wanted to go see a fridge that same size before we bought it. We went to Home Depot to look well it turns out that Home Depot has a 10% Price Match Policy, most stores have a similar policy but it's rare to find the exact item at 2 stores. It so happens that Home Depot had the exact same fridge. The fridge was 10% off at Sears and we got an additional 10% off and free delivery and installation.
We are buying a foreclosed home so the previous owners took EVERYTHING!!! Even the smoke detectors! Some items had to be replaced by the selling bank, those two big ticket items weren't part of the deal.
We also bought these patio chairs at Tractor Supply

We fell in love with them a couple weeks ago, Dave wanted to purchase them on the spot. The clerk told us that they were going to have a Grand Opening Sale the following Saturday so they would probably be on sale. We go them this past weekend for 10% off.
We plan on buying this overhead microwave

We saw it when we bought the fridge but decided to wait because I wanted to do research and see if I could find it cheaper anywhere else. Good thing we waited because Home Depot has a 10% moving coupon.
The house already has a dishwasher, it won't match but we are okay with that for now.
And what's a post without a picture of Cali

Her hair is slowly getting longer.

More pictures

Here are the rest of this pictures from yesterday

It's late

Here is one picture from today

I have more but it's too late so I will post the rest of them tomorrow.

4th of July weekend

We went up to Grandma Christina and Grandpa Roy's for the holiday weekend and we had a blast. Cali went to the lake and rode on a boat for the first time. I didn't get any pictures of Cali at the lake or in the boat because I didn't want to take my camera on the water. These are the only pictures I got.

Cali in her 4th outfit

And Cali and Daddy. I asked Cali to do the peace sign and this was her version of it. Cute right?

I will try to post more often, I promise.
I think Cali and I are going to take a day trip up to Sacramento to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Simon later this week. So Grandma Jewel call me and let me know what day would work.
