$8000 Tax Credit

So Erik and I were doing our taxes last night and low and behold we owe a ton even though we already paid a ton.

So the thought came up that if we owned a house we would be in a better position tax-wise. We've put off buying a house because the market has dropped and we figured we'd be moving to another state soon. But then last night we thought, why not buy something cheap and have it as an investment when we do decide to move in a year or two. Plus if we purchase it by April 30, 2010 we get an $8000 tax credit. So now we're in a big hurry.

So, I spent all night last night and all day today looking at houses online and we're going to meet with a Realtor tomorrow to see a few houses. Most of them are in Browns Point but a few are in Federal Way and Auburn.

Here's one of them:

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
