This 4th of July we spent the majority of the day house hunting. We did squeeze in a bar b q and fireworks at the end of the day. Fortunately there were tons of great firework shows by our house. Owen liked the fireworks but LOVED the sparklers we bought. Each time one would burn out he would sign and yell "MORE"! It was really cute and funny.
Finding a house to buy has been one of the reasons we have been so so busy lately. Our current landlord refuses to let us go on a month to month lease so we are getting booted at the end of July! and we don't want to rent anymore. So we just started packing and are hoping to be able to find a house really soon. I don't think we will be able to get into one soon enough to be able to prevent us from moving twice but we are sure trying.
Other things keeping us busy....
We celebrated our 4th anniversary on June 30th. Jared turned 30 on June 28th! Happy Birthday, we still love you even though your getting old! Jared has been super busy with work, he was out of town in Alabama with his boss getting new clients for his law firm. Being out of town did not help with our house hunting!!! He also had to prepare for his first jury trial which was last Thursday. Thank goodness its over now and YEAH! he won. We are so proud of his hard work. He did the whole trial alone and went against two attorneys that have been practicing for more than 20 years each.
Now lets get back to finding a place to live! I have stayed busy with the house hunt and have been really really sick. We just found out we are expecting a baby in February, that explains the sickness.
Owen has been a trooper looking at houses with us, he loves to run around all the empty places we have been looking at. He is growing like a weed and learning new words all the time. We think we have finally broken his habit of jamming food i.e. cheetos, raisins, apples or crayon tips up his nose and in his ear, time will tell. He pooped in the potty twice! Yeah! but has never wanted to do it again. He does pee in the potty about once a day so he is thinking about being potty trained. We are not going to get serious until we move and get settled. Owen has also acquired a new chore to help with penny. He feeds penny every day and now its his job to let her outside in the morning so she can do her business. I think he mostly just likes opening and closing the door.
Well thats enough typing for me, hopefully I can update on a more regular basis...as soon as the sickness goes away.

Congrats! I am so thrilled for you. February will be perfect. Owen is the CUTEST BOY, so its only obvious that your next one will be just as darling.
Good Luck house hunting. It is a fun process, especially with the market how it is. You are buying at the perfect time. I only wish you were looking farther north.
Happy Belated Birthday Jared, you old man you. Happy Anniversary to you as well. Wow, you had a lot to post about.
Congratulations Jen & Jared!!! Yeah, we'll both be adding a little one to our families in February! We will be celebrating our 4 year anniversary on July 16th and Judd turns 33 July 27th! Congrats Jared on your big win! That's awesome! Good luck house hunting! And I hope you get feeling better soon Jen! Morning sickness is the WORST! I'm still suffering through. Can't wait to hear how things go. Love ya!
We are so excited for you guys! Owen is so darn cute so I am sure that your next will be adorable as well. I hope your sickness passes soon. Good Luck on the house hunting...how stressful. Happy 30th Jared..Have you really been off your mission for 9 years?! Ha ha:)
LOVE the grape in the ear photo. Hilarious. Good luck with the house hunting. Moving again in the summer?! You poor people. And Jen being sick. You won't have great memories of this summer. We are SO sending you girl baby vibes. You must break the boy streak. Its all up to you. We now have all our eggs in YOUR basket, Jen (no pun intended.) We love you and miss you.
Oh wow! I am so excited for you three! Can't wait to see you all in a month :)
I am so excited for you! So it sounds like we are going to go to the Cabin on Saturday for the get together I'll call you and let you know for sure what time we decided.
I'm so happy for you guys. It sucks that you're sick, hopefully that'll pass soon.
I love the picture of Penny checking out the potty. I'm also jealous that Owen has a desire to even be on the potty. I always ask Sebastian if he wants to go pee pee on the potty and he just says no. All in due time, I guess.
