Counting the days

I'm freaking out excited!!!!

For the first time ever since we have had kids...let's be honest we have never not had kids.....we are getting away just the two of us! We are going to VEGAS BABY!!! Jeff's mom is watching the boys for us so we can go for Valentines Day.....other than a few camping trips this is going to be our only time without kids on a trip....including never having a honeymoon. I'll consider this it for Mr. Stout's sake so that I don't have to mention that ever again ;o). I don't know what I'm going to do with myself...well I have some ideas...I've planned a lot for us to do while we are there...it's going to be a blast! 4 days of fun with my husband I can't wait....it's going to be AMAZING!

This ones about me sorry boys.....but mom will miss you!

Again...

We are moving AGAIN...this time out of QC and MUCH MUCH closer to Jeffs office! We are actually really excited about the move. Even the boys! The house is in a great area called Las Sendas and the house fits us PERFECTLY. This house was a bit too small for us and some of us...not naming names... (AJ and Trevor) need their own space so we are headed out on a new adventure away from where we have lived since we moved to AZ.
