House Updates!

Here it is! My new home! Isn't it lovely! Thanks so much to all of our helpers, (Jay, Jordan, Nick, Brady, and so many more). We have the floor finished and two of the back walls are up! There are two more outside walls that are built but Bryce needs a little more man power to put the walls into place! So when those walls go up we will have two full outside walls to our home, only two more to go!! Today I asked Bryce if we were still looking good for getting the house all enclosed by winter and he said, "yeah," so that is also a good thing too! Anyway we are way excited about this and I hope I don't bore the rest of you with all the updates!

Ellie and her food!

These are some funny moments with Ellie and her food! The top right and bottom left are of Ellie helping me make "Macky CHeese." Her idea of helping was sitting in the chair next to me eating the uncooked noodles. Silly Ellie. Next was spaghetti night, top left and middle left. Spaghetti is her favorite and she gets it everywhere thus the pretty hairstyle. Well, Bryce has to have some sort of a bread with every meal because he makes a sandwich out of everything we have for dinner, ex. ham, funeral potatoes, corn, all on a roll and in a sandwich. On spaghetti night, Bryce wasn't even home, and Ellie tore her garlic bread apart and put her spaghetti inside to make a sandwich. I just had to take a picture too funny! Then that Sunday at dinner she tore her roll apart and put her broccoli in it for a delicious broccoli sandwich, top middle! The big picture was a day we made homemade Ice Cream Mmmmmm and she was just loving it so this is her lovely "CHEESE" smile, just adorable, NOT!

I know I am a mean mom!

Okay let me explain! My little Ellie is so adorable but is being a really big pain to go to sleep at night and will do anything to get out of going to bed at night! After I put her to bed she gets up about a million times (slight exaggeration) before she actually goes to bed. About 3 weeks ago ( I know I'm really slow with this post) every time she got out of bed she had her diaper off and it made me so mad I just got angry with her. So, I guess she was scared of me because one night she woke up in the middle of the night and she was all wet. What she had done was taken her diaper off and must have been too scared to come and get a new one so she just left it off and peed the bed. So I put a new diaper on her, changed her sheets and put her back to bed. Well, she woke up that morning all wet again with no diaper on! I was soooo frustrated I called Bryce complaining telling him I just didn't know what to do with her and he said "maybe you should just duct tape it on." What a great idea, I think he meant it as a joke but it worked! If you look close in the picture you can see that she has the Velcro tabs undone but that duct tape kept the diaper on! After 3 nights of duct tape no more problem! I know I am a mean mom!
