I'm 6 Months Old Today!

I'm tired of this photo session.

look, I can sit!! (but just for a couple of seconds...)

The Popsicle

G Money had his first popsicle tonight. He LOVED it. Do you see the trickle running down his arm? We threw him right in the bath. (By the way, we are 4 for 4 with the potty and I'm one happy mamma.)

House Picture, part 2

T and Hubby added the shingles...took way longer than expected. Oh well. Now we are waiting for the painter! Anyone want to buy a car? :) Check out house picture part 1 to see the difference.

The Guest Room

well, all of you who stayed in this room when it was NASTY can really appreciate the transformation. Even the dresser was painted...we still don't have pictures hung on the walls, but it'll get done eventually. Now this room is ready for company...but you have to wait until T and S leave. And then, you'll probably want to stay in their swanky new house!!!

Living it up with the family

Well, T and S moved in last weekend...so we are at a week of living together. They are downstairs in our newly remodeled guest suite and I guess they are feeling like they have their own little space. Although, it's not very private. We warned them that we can hear everything that is said in a normal voice through the bathroom vents. SO, they are pretty much restricted to whispering if they want to say anything private or anything about us. I'll let you know if they slip up and say something juicy.

There are benefits to having your sister and her hubby living with you. For example, this morning I came down after my shower to find the dishwasher UNLOADED. That may not seem like such a big deal, but it made my morning. I hate unloading the dishwashwer. (Every morning, over and over...) What a nice treat!

Another benefit--great babysitting. Earlier this week I got to go out for about an hour during naptime. That usually only happens when my hubby is off work. That was really fun for me! THEN, they watched the kiddos again on Thursday night while we headed to our favorite place to eat. We came home to a dark house and EVERYONE asleep.

Other benefits?
A new chair in our living room from their house. Now we can all sit down comfortably.
Someone to make me do situps every night. Uggggh.
S gives great sisterly back rubs
They help clean up!! Dishes, vaccuming, etc.

Oh, I could go on and on...we might not let them leave.


I just found out today that the house behind us is going on the market in a few months. Too bad they didn't wait on that house project of theirs. It would be so fun to have them as backyard neighbors. The cousins would have so much fun!

Sugar Buns

This sweet picture is gone for now...if you missed it, sorry!

Just an update...

Well, it's been a while. I didn't realize how much time had gone by until I went to post this morning. Sorry to all you faithful ones. (HA! Like there are faithful ones out there...I really have no idea sometimes who looks at this thing. Why don't you let me know? It'd make me smile.)

We've been busy this month, but it has been such fun stuff. Heavy D started eating cereal and is trying to roll over...he flipped from tummy to back, but hasn't really done it again. That boy is so ticklish! He'll just giggle and giggle whenever you touch that fat belly or arms. I just can't get enough of him.

G Money is loving the change in the weather and has become obsessed with being outside. He will do a running commentary as we drive down the road--checking to see which houses have basketball goals and which don't. From the back seat I will hear a quiet, "no ball hoop." "No ball hoop." Over and over...until he sees one and then he SCREAMS, "BALL HOOP!!!!" It's a good time. I forgot that a while ago (over a year) we put a video of G money dancing on the web. I found it again the other day and just laughed so hard. Maybe you'd enjoy it too, but probably only if you know him and love him...otherwise, it'll just look like a baby dancing.

G was hanging out at the neighbor's yesterday, looking longingly at his "ball hoop." Thank you, "Ungle Todd" for helping make his dreams a reality. HA!!
