Have I mentioned...

...that Ella is exhausting?!?

When I was mopping the kitchen floor last week, I had the rug in the hall and Ella apparently thought it was a nice blanket.

It seemed to be a great game to pull it on top of herself and then get out.

Disgusting?

Maybe.

Whatever keeps them occupied, I say. ☺

Hugs ARE fun!

A very over exposed photo of my children hugging.

It happened so fast.

One of those moments where you go "Awwww.......

they really do love each other."

Or maybe not.

Uncle Ken

Yesterday I spent the day looking at tile all over the city of SLC with Kenneth, and

we had a jolly good time drooling over tile selections way beyond our budgets. (Although, I'm not sure I'll forgive him for showing me that tile world beyond Home Depot and Lowes, etc...) ;o)

Then he had to come back in today, so we got to spend a little bit more time with him.

Hope you make it home safely tonight, Ken!

Here he is reading to my kids last weekend.

They are excessively fond of their uncles, aunts, grandparents, and cousins. ☺

(and pretty much everyone) 

BUT, if you'll read to them, they will really love you.

36 Weeks

Whew!

There was a minute or two last night I thought that we were going to have to head to the hospital.

I was having so many contractions and they were getting painful enough that I wasn't able to sleep.

Around 2:00 AM, I got into the tub and took a 2 hour bath and drank lots of water and the contractions went away.

Not quite ready for this baby to be showing up! ☺

The sciatic nerve pain has just been AWESOME the past week or so, I really could do without that...

Ponytail!

Look who has long enough hair for a ponytail! ☺ (sort of)

It makes her look way too old though, and I'm not sure I'm liking that.

I realized it's been way to long since I got pictures of these munchkins.

True to form, they don't like to look at the camera at the same time.

This too shall pass...

Before I know it, it's been over a week since I posted anything last.

Wow.

I've just been too busy with things like:

-Eating ice cream

-Organzing and cleaning, so if you come over, SOME of my closets and cupboards will be really clean and organized, but the rest of my house looks like a bomb exploded.

-Eating ice cream

-Chasing Ella, who has figured out that I'm REALLY slow moving these days, so she can get a good head start.

-Eating ice cream

-Being depressed about the weather. I've never been a fan of January and February, they are just months you have to sludge through to get to March. (although, it's kind of nice to have something to look forward to this year. ☺)

-Eating ice cream

-Working on other random projects

-Eating ice cream

-Not taking pictures

-Eating ice cream

Back to the weather, in SLC it hasn't been too bad. It actually warms up and our snow melts, but in EskDale, they still have been too cold so there is still a lot of snow on the ground. This is really cramping my style as far as construction on our house and for my SAD. (I diagnosed myself ☺) 

I'm just "a little" tired of traveling back and forth, (as is the rest of my family) so I'm afraid I've been somewhat of a "Negative Nelly" about a lot of things going on in life, so I guess be thankful that I spared you from that. ☺

34 Weeks

My new mattress pad is making a HUGE difference, so I'm sleeping much better at night. ☺
The sickness I had over the weekend seems to have sapped all my energy and I haven't gotten it back.
