Seven months!

Seven months already? How did that happen?

Ella is working on two more new teeth, this time on top, and she decided that the pacifier is a cool thing to chew on... Pretty close to crawling at this point, but then discovered that she can roll to where ever she needs.

Here are the photos and once again she just does NOT want to smile for my camera.

Playing

Staying Sane....sort of.

It's that time of year when getting outside is hard and Aidan and I are pretty tired of each other by the time Cary gets home. :o) The cooping up is really getting to Aidan and I can't really blame him, so I've been making more of an effort to get him doing a project during the day. Right now, I'm picking a letter a day and doing something with that. We'll see how it goes!

This weekend was probably Cary's first glimpse of how obsessive I can be when I start a project. I'm one of those that just wants to FINISH it right away. (thanks mom!) None of this working on something everyday for years. (Aidan's blanket doesn't count since I haven't actually worked on it other than buying material and knowing the pattern. Heh.) I just hate having the mess. I guess I need a house where I have a room specifically for that and can close the door and hide the mess.

OR I could just learn to be more organized. Pfffttt.

Another day in paradise

SLC is having major inversion issues and we're really needing a storm to get some air moving, but in the meantime the nasty air is giving me some major headaches and sleep issues. Fun.

These pictures Aidan is like "really, do you have to keep taking pictures of me?"

Even Ella didn't want her picture taken, but I was trying to work on a photo assignment, gosh.

In other news, I'm up to my ears in craft projects so the blogging has fallen the wayside. One of my projects being the quilt I started back when I was pregnant with Aidan (for Aidan. HA.) maybe I'll have it done by the time he is a teenager and then he won't want it. :-)

Definitely mine

That's exactly how I sleep, so I'm told. :o) Mouth wide open and and my head turned to the side buried in a pillow (or whatever).

Waking up is hard to do

Ahhh, to be on vacation again where we would keep the kids up so late at night that Aidan would sleep in until 9:00 or later. Even then we didn't have to go anywhere or do anything so eventually the kids would end up in our bed and we'd hang out for a little while. Which wasn't easy to do considering that bed is lucky if it's a full.

The proof is in the picture where the alarm clock reads 9:49. That's probably a first and a last for us.

Some of my favorite moments are in the morning ("after the initial shock and  "I don't wanna wake up yet" are over) and the kids and I hang out in bed for awhile. Aidan usually has brought a book along so he reads and Ella tries to steal his book and his paci.

Disgusting.

I was hoping to take a shower about now, or before...but the little people are making sure it doesn't happen. It's only been since Saturday, what's the big deal?

So Aidan just walked up to me and said in his  'imitating me how I talk to him and Ella voice'

"Hi mom, you're so cute!"

and this is where Cary would say "Oh mercy me, I can tell you are around your mother all day".

Bwahahah!

Aidan also tells me that my earrings are cute on a regular basis.

I think it's hilarious.

Look how big Sam-o is getting!

Dan, Melanie, kids, Tara, Abby and Jesse all came over the other night to hang out.

and watch the Cardinals beat the Packers in overtime.

Look at all that t-r-o-u-b-l-e in the corner

I don't have very many pictures or good pictures since I kind of forgot about taking pictures until the end.
