Busy, Busy, Busy!

  So even before we moved into the place we have been living for the last 3 weeks I knew I would have to work on some things. There are things I don't like about it, they had a door on the bathtub and when we moved in it was not clean and covered in MOLD. So gross! The floors squeak like crazy and the green carpet has a lot of orange all over it, probably from bleach, but it still looks gross. There were spiders and earwigs everywhere. The kitchen cabinets are a horrendous color! But there are a lot of things that are tons better than the last place we lived, fenced in backyard, the kitchen is open to the family room, a finished basement for all of Annie's toys, a huge storage room, an office for Brent to study, and a room for all of my crafty stuff. So even though it sounds like I like to complain its mostly stuff that we can fix. So its ok.
   Brent took the nasty doors off the bathtub, bleached and scrubbed the walls of the shower where it was to kill all the germs cause I couldn't even go in the bathroom it was so gross and he cleaned the tub(I hate to clean the bathtub so he so kindly does that for me). Sprayed for bugs and the last thing we did was paint the kitchen cabinets. 

This is our Poop Log Kitchen, as we call it . . . 



We puttied the handle holes . . .

Sanded the doors . . .

Primed everything . . .


Did the first coat of paint . . .

and the second . . .

After 2 days of hard work it turned out pretty good . . . 

It is so much brighter and the color is much more appealing. Thanks to my mum for watching the girls for the 2 days. We never couldve done it that quickly if she hadn't.

Maycie and the Rice Cereal

Maycie had her first experience with solid food today. I tried to take pictures but they were all fuzzy cause she was moving so much. It was even more difficult to get the food in her mouth. The following pictures are the only ones that you could kind of see her face without too much blur.

She loved it, hopefully she will sit a little more still next time or I will get faster! The latter is more likely.

She's on the move!

This ADORABLE little girl . . .





figured out how to sit up at 5 months and 12 days . . .




. . . and has also decided it is TIME TO MOVE!!


She has been going backwards and around in circles for about a week and as of today,  at 5 months and 14 days, has decided she can get up on all fours and move forward!

I cannot tell you how excited I am. She hates sitting still and not being able to run after Annie, so this is pretty awesome!

She is almost as thrilled about it as I am! Yay Maycie!!

. . . the 5th!

For the 5th of July we did our normal 4th traditions. We woke up super early and went to watch the balloons. Annie loved it!

Daddy and Annie watched the Coca Cola balloon go up . . .

Thats weird, they have the same hair style . . .

Cool dudes, early in the morning . . .

Pretty awesome shot . . .

Some of the buds watching the balloons . . .

Annie and Papa watching the balloons land . . .
 

And then, we went to the Freedom Festival parade. It was Annie's first parade and she loved it!

Me & Kels chillin' at the parade . . .

It was a long parade so everybody decided to take a nap on Maycie ...

Later that day we went on a picnic with Brents family. There were horses and we all know how much Annie LOVES animals!

Annie was also lucky enough that Aunt Michelle gave Annie a ride on the car around the park . . .

It was the best 4th and 5th of July we've had together!

The 4th, big family party at Auntie Cheryls with the Clancys! So much fun!!

Annie took the time during the car ride up to do her homework...

Then the party started!

Lots of fun and a lot of music from Paul(the best piano player ever)...

Its hard work finding the perfect song to serenade your family with...

Kelsey just sat and enjoyed all the songs...
The continuation of our 4th of July holiday continued on the 5th. I will post pictures on Monday.
