Just Kidding

You know how a couple of posts ago I said nothing turns out the way we plan.  Yeah it happened again.  I went to the rental house for the first time during the day, without the owner, to measure the windows for curtains and guess what.  It smells like cigarette smoke, or should I say it still smells like cigarette smoke.  The landlord assured us that he could get the smell out.  No he did not.  So long story short we are not moving, into that house.  So starts the search for a new rental.  I will not cry, because I am convinced something else will come along... right?

On a better note, I got Elleree's three year old pictures taken and Beckett's four month (should have been three) pictures taken today.  Here are some of the ones I picked.

 The lady who was taking the pictures kept calling her pretty, pretty, princess.  It really got on my nerve.
Notice I said nerve, because I only have one left now.
 She was really good, cheesy but good. Sure I had to bribe her with bubble gum, but I'm not above bribery!
 This one reminds me of Truman at that age.
 He discovered his tongue this weekend and has been playing with it ever since.
My serious little handsome man.  This picture reminds me of Jason's mom he looks alot like her is this picture.

Those pictures are SOOOO sweet!
Such cute little gingers you have there.
Beckett is certainly his own little man. I see snippets of you, Jason and some of the other kids, but mostly ... I only see Beckett. Cute.

Sooo sorry to hear about the cigarette smoke! There is NO way I could live with that either. You will find something. I hope you do find something better.. not just something!

Something better WILL come along--don't settle-especially for cigarette smoke.
Too adorable for words those pictures!! Elleree is a little sweety. That last picture of Beckett needs a caption like "Hey baby, want to come to may place" wink, wink. Even if it's his 4month not his 3month you are still way ahead on any pictures I did. The most consistent I was (especially with Cooper) was school pictures and even then on year I forgot to order pictures (for Cooper of course) until they did the re-takes!

I LOVE the tongue rolling photo - and well he IS dressed as quite the dapper young gentleman. Did you do the bubblegum bribe for him? Miss E seems pretty happy about the "incentive". Cute babies.
Sorry about the stinky house...it IS almost impossible to get that smell out, even with painting and major disinfectant scrubbing. So, you're wise, but disappointed :0( to look elsewhere.
Good luck!

LOV.ING those pictures! Especially the last one of Beckett...ooooo, he's a keeper!

Good Luck with the house search. Sometimes you just have to say "what will be will be"....you seem to be handling it all very well considering you only have one nerve left (I liked that line...heehee).

Seriously...wishing you all the best in finding a nice, smoke free place to live with your very cute children!

Awwww! I can't believe I still haven't seen Beckett! He is such a cute little man, and Elleree is adorable as usual (but definitely looking older). Sorry about the house, good thing you still have some time before the one you are in gets foreclosed on! You have the best luck, I'm just sayin'!

That is so disappointing, but hopefully it just means there is a better house for you out there. I love the pictures. That serious face is so adorable and I love Elleree's smile. I also love the one nerve left line i feel that way by the end of most days.
