A little update

I'm not going to take the time to edit any of this so all the writing is at the bottom. There will be more pictures of our new house coming soon.




I grew these tomatoes at our apartment

Kyle left on his mission to Peru
































Carters and his cousin Natalie. She is a month older than him.



We moved into our new house so that's my excuse for not blogging. Any way Carter is almost 8 months now and last night was his first time sleeping without waking up every three hours. I painted his room blue and I read that babies sleep better in blue rooms. I'm sure that's not why he slept but it's going to be my excuse for all the hard work that I did painting on our wonderful textured walls (that's sarcastic! Textured walls are horrible and very hard to paint).


Lucy is almost 3 and is even more sassy than ever! She doesn't like to share with other kids but she is usually good about letting Carter play with her stuff. Yesterday, the At&T guy was here fixing our computer and he walked into our office where Lucy had left a game spread out on the floor. Lucy says hey don't step on my stuff (imagine that with attitude head bobbing and hand motions) I was kinda shocked and embarrassed. What do you say to that?! Hopefully she will be starting preschool soon and then maybe she will learn some social skills that don't require bossing other people around.

Yeah- so fun to read about life. Sounds like we have Miss Sassy Pants #2 in the ranks (Elyse will forever be the #1 Sassy Pants!!!). Let's hope they don't stay that way as teenagers!!! I love the photos...can't wait to see the house. Good to see ya blogging again. I stink at blogging - I didn't even move this summer so what is my excuse?!!?

I loved the photos and I can't wait to see your house. We've had sassy pants too. If putting them on timeout doesn't work then I put the toy they are playing with on timeout and if that doesn' work then I use sassy spray, (apple cider vinegar). I know that seems mean but one little squirt of that stuff in their mouth, (giving them water afterwards), sure made a difference in my kids - I haven't had to use it for a couple of years. Anyhow, good luck!

Cute pictures. I can't wait to see your house. It's exciting & overwhelming all at the same time! I like the tomatoes; that was one of the best results of our garden!
