New Room!!!

So one day I got sick and tired of putting all my scrap booking stuff away and having my kids get into everything that I've got for it, and into all my sewing stuff and decided to put both of the kids into one room and put all my craft stuff into Bryson's room. Yes, it's a boy and a girl sharing but their still little and I don't think that its a big deal. The baby will still be in my craft room and when the baby no longer fits in the crib then we will split the kids into different rooms at that time. This is how I found the kids when I checked on them. They have separate beds but they choose to go to sleep like this. I thought that it was really cute.

Darin had one of the members of the church come over and help put the wood onto the retaining wall. It looks really nice. Darin sanded it down and stained it. He also put the piping for the wood stove up too. It is pretty much done now. Way to go Darin!!!!Darin traded some stuff for this oven and over the range microwave off of craigs list. I was so excited. It makes the whole kitchen look complete because the appliances actually match each other now. They are used and are about 5 years old but they were super clean and practically look brand. I love them and have been cooking a lot more now. I am still not used to having the microwave up above I occasionally catch myself going to where my old microwave used to be at. Thank you craigs list.

Germs

Bryson started the week off with a double ear infection and then we went back to the doctor and found out that he has the hand foot mouth virus and that he can now stop taking the medicine for the ear infections because they went with the virus. He has been so craby lately. I dread it when he is sick. He is the most unhappy little guy around. Baylee loves her little brother and wants to give him loves and everytime she gets close to him he freaks out and is mad for about 15mins becuase of it. So my days is full of a lot of screaming. Baylee was so loving the first time we went this week to the doctor's. Bryson hates to be poked and prodded at and she was trying to sooth him as I am trying to hold him down and the doctor looks at his ears. She is such a little momma. So with all the ear infections and viruses I will be confined into my home. I also got a new niece this week her name is Katie June Wallace. For those who know my side of the family it was my brother Matt's daughter that was born. Unfortunately with all the sickies I haven't been able to see her. What a bummer of a week to be getting sick. Oh yeah I am sick too now.

Girls Camp

These are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year girls.
These are our YCL's

This is Taylor and I being crazy.

I went to girls camp last week on the first day and then I came the next day in the evening but it was tons of fun. I wasn't much of a girl who liked girls camp when I was in young women's but now that I can go up and leave when ever I want to, it was so much more fun. They have also changed quite a bit since I went too. The girls had a lot of fun and it was tons of fun being able to hang out with them more.

New Fireplace

This is the tile work done. To me it kinda looks like a bathroom but, I like it.

After the tile was done Darin didn't wait too long to get the walls finished and the fireplace in.
Darin has been hard at work trying to get this fireplace done and installed. He has worked really hard to get this far with a lot of extra help from friends. I am so proud of him. Not only has he done this but he has got tons of wood and has chopped it all up too. He is such a busy guy. Thanks tons for all your hard work Darin and I will really appreciate it during the winter when we don't have to pay outrageous bills while still being cold.

Stripes and Polka Dots

This is Baylee getting herself dressed. This is her second time trying to get dressed for the day. First she came down in the same shirt and overalls but with khaki pants under the overalls. I forgot to say that I had already laid her clothes out for her which was just the shirt and the green Capri's that she has on in the picture but for some reason she loves the overalls. Anyways I told her to get the right pair of pant on and to take the other off and this is how she came down the second time. She does this quite often. She likes to change her clothes through out the day and pick what she really wants to wear and usually I make her change but today I really didn't care. Look at how happy she looks about it too. She loves to layer her pants. Another time she did this with a pair of mesh shorts and a pair of sweats under them. My mom said that when I was her age and was getting myself dressed I would match stripes with polka dots. I think that I turned out alright though.

This is Bryson just so excited to be riding his bike in the house even though he knows he isn't supposed to. He loves taking pictures.
Here he is so focused in riding as fast as he can from one end to another of the house.

Baylee got her scooter and was doing the same thing. For some reason they find it more fun to do inside the house instead of outside.
And my beautiful kiddos. This was a pretty good picture of them. It is getting harder and harder to get both their attention at the same time and smile.

*****24 Weeks*****

Here I am at 24 weeks and doing alright. The baby moves around like crazy inside, and always seems to know how to kick my bladder when it's full. It feels like it has gone by so fast but this is usually when it slows down and takes forever. Well see how things turn out.

Were Still Alive!

Where my old gas fire place went. Darin took it all out in one evening. I literally left and went out with a friend and when I came back he had everything outside and this is what I found.This is the stove that Darin found on-line. At first I didn't like it but Darin saw the potential. He really does have a good eye on these things.

Just in case anyone was wondering we are still alive here. My computer has been really slow lately and it's been getting to the extremes with how slow it has been. Darin has been really busy getting a wood stove, and putting it into the house. He has been really consumed with this project here but he loves staying busy. So far he has taken the old gas stove out and found a stove that he liked and refineshed it. I think he did really well on the stove. It looks pratically brand spankin' new. I traded my car in and got a van. We were going to have to do it sooner or later with a third on the way. I love my van and Baylee loves the automatic doors, and DVD player in it. I like those too but I love having more room. Bryson loves running from the front to the back. We all like the new van and Darin isn't in love with the van, but he likes it.
