Sisters

Could 2 sisters look any different????

The answer is yes, just look at Danielle and me.

these 2 gals crack me up (and each other)

Go UTES!!!!

    12-0 Woohoo!

It looks more like a house

The girls and I just got back from our new house. It was so much fun to see the walls up. Danielle came with us which was great. She had never seen the neighborhood, our circle or the house.

It is being prepped for stucco and stone.

Still my favorite part of the exterior.


Here is the office. I love the patio doors.

This is from the entry hall looking into the family room on the left and the girls' hall on the right. That is actually Elsie's room at the end of the hall.

This is part of the kitchen. The pantry is off to the left.

Ads in the spotlight (again)

So Addie is a MOVER. She has been since she was a pinto bean inside of me. My 2nd doctor's appointment I'm in on the table and Dr. Brown starts to listen for her heartbeat. He keeps moving the wand around and pausing as we hear nothing. I was starting to get really worried and panicked! He searches for a little while longer and tells me not to worry just yet. YET???? I thought absolutely sick to my stomach (pardon the pun) as he calls for the ultra sound machine to be brought in. I am frantically asking questions trying not to say the word dead or die as I spoke of my baby.
The ultra sound machine showed a moving bean and a beating tiny heart. I was so grateful, what a scare.
We played that game the next 2 times at Dr. Brown's office. Every appointment after that Dr. Brown was on a hunt to find Addie's heartbeat. When I was prepping for surgery the nurse finally just took the monitors off my belly for Addie since we had a missing baby the whole time.

Which brings me to this video...

Elsie didn't move. She was 10 months before she rolled over. I'm sure a world record or something. With that said, we just thought all babies rocked themselves in their car seat, or bounced themselves out of their bouncer. People would make comments all the time about Addie rocking her car seat. At my uncle Bob and aunt Mimi's Sunday night everyone was so impressed with Addie's skill and were asking if we have it recorded. NO, parents of the year hadn't even thought of that. So here is Addie rocking in the car seat.

House Update

We have a roof (well almost a full roof), we have windows (well minus the ones they are using to crawl out on the roof from), we have a fireplace and we have insulation!

Here is a look from our family room to our eating area in the kitchen. I already love our new windows.
Here is our fireplace.

Love the porta-potty in all exterior shots!

That trailer has the scaffolding for the stucco. Drywall is scheduled for next week hooray!

Halloween and Jack

So here is the pumpkin that Bruce grew...well one of them anyway. Jack weighed in at about 200+ pounds. He was the talk of the neighborhood. Neighbors came and had their picture taken with Jack. Bruce would be so proud.

Here is Jack officially (thanks to Tyler's pumpkin carving skills). Now Jack is really the talk of the neighborhood. What a hit he was on Halloween night. We think Jack is pretty sweet!

(yes that is Elsie with a knife stabbing Jack)

Elsie with the witches at Gardner Village.

It's all about Addie

Could she not win the best blue eyes award?

This one was cute of Ads and Steve-o.
