New House

Life is Back to Normal

Life seems to finally be returning to normal. Addy got sick right after we moved in the house. Then, for the second time that week I had to go back to the doctor because she had a UTI. Poor girl! I didn't know how to explain to her why she was in pain. I really love when I get her medicine and I'm suppose to give it to her twice a day for ten days. Addy is so funny. Sometimes she'll take the medicine fine and other times she'd fight me till her death.

As soon as Addy returned to normal then Brynn decided it was her turn. She was SO sick and miserable. I believe she had roseola. It makes me sad when the little ones feel so icky. It was a long week but she is finally feeling better and now she is back to laughing and crying if mommy leaves her sight self.

I turned 27 on the 14th. Really...late twenties??? What happened? Where did the time go? I took full advantage of the day, especially because it was a Saturday and Todd was home. This included getting a massage, taking a nap AND bath, and Todd taking me out to the Japanese steakhouse...so yummy! Todd took Addy to pick out a birthday cake for me. For the last month she had been telling me that I could have a Belle cake (from Beauty and the Beast) and she will have a Little Mermaid cake on her birthday. I fully expected a princess cake upon her return. Instead, she picked out High School Musical cupcakes for me! (We dance to music clips from the movies on YouTube) On the way home she kept telling Todd. "Mom is going to be so happy! Mom is going to scream! Mom is going to love these!" Todd said it was the cutest thing EVER!

This past weekend Todd's brother and his family came up from St. George. Adalyn LOVES her cousins. She was in absolute heaven playing with them. It was great spending time with them and Addy has so much fun when they took her to a movie with them. It was only her second time in a theater so it was very exciting.

I added a slide show of our new house in the post below. Please, don't judge me. We don't have much furniture yet and I haven't even begun to decorate. I really need help in the the decorating area :)

Food Storage! After an encouraging call from my Dad I bought our first load.

Now I just have to organize our cold storage room. How exciting!

Addy has become a great helper in the kitchen. Yikes! So scary but she loves it.

Dad took over stirring for a second and Addy was quick to say:

"Excuse me Dad, I was here first. I'll do it." The apron is the finishing touch

These are some of the High School Musical cupcakes that Addy picked out.

Brynn is becoming such a big girl. She is already pushing a walker!

I cut my finger a few weeks ago with a bread knife. Four stitches later...it was pretty yucky
Thank goodness Addy reminds me to be careful everytime a pull out a knife now!

New House!

I haven't posted for a couple of weeks because we've been so busy packing, and moving, and cleaning, and putting away! The only thing that has gotten me through this move is knowing that this should be the last move for a VERY long time...if ever :) I am happy to note that I only have a few boxes in Brynn's room and the boxes of books that belong in the bookcase left! Pretty good for moving less than a week ago. Oh, and a huge load to pick up from the in-laws that have been storing stuff for us...waiting for the day we buy a house!

Thanks to all who have helped us. We love our house! I'll post more fun stuff soon.
