Life

Well life is just getting better and better!  Katelyn has only woken once during the night for the past 3 nights, which is just fabulous!  Since she was 6 weeks old, which was last Friday she's been smiling a lot and enjoying songs and play time-basically attention..which is fun when I have time to give it to her.  Of course getting a picture of her smiling is another story.

 
This was the first picture of her smiling I captured..too bad she's not looking at the camera!
Here's a half smile...


Here's the best picture of a smile I've got right now.

Look at Marie's hands totally ready for a photo shoot!
 Saturday night Eric finished his dream garage!  He only waited 10 years for this..happy birthday to himself!!!  He says half the fun was doing the work..I know I haven't been as excited about his work bench, peg board and window blinds as he's wanted me to be--I am grateful..I just don't express it well I guess.
I love how the little kid bikes and scooters fit under the bottom shelf!

Here's his blinds, so nobody can see what we have in here..!  And he hangs the hoses on the hose hanger for winter..I thought that was clever.



This is the work bench, extra shelf and peg board that he's very very proud of!  Everything is within reach with NO digging through boxes!   



 Eric also fixed our garage door last week.  I thought we'd just have to wait and see how money was after we got all our baby bills..but Eric found a part online and $50 later our garage door worked again...SO nice.  At first I thought-at least it's not winter..but when the kids wanted a bike or scooter to play with-life was a bit complicated..I'm happy to have a garage again!

Here's just some other pictures

Marie finally let me put pig tails in her hair!!  It's been a bun or 1 pony on the side for a LONG TIME.


 Marie playing in the tub and blowing bubbles!
And there's a cute video to watch-but for some reason there's a problem...so maybe next time.

Brandon's birthday

I'm a slacker, a while ago Brandon had his 7th birthday, really not that exciting-Grandma and Grandad Myrup gave him some awesome presents, I got him nothing exciting, but he's coped with his lame birthday this year.  I think it helped that Easter was on his birthday so there was lots going on.  Because of the book Barrett's Unusual Ice Cream Party Brandon was inspired to ask for Pumpkin Pie for his birthday this year, and that was a LOT easier than making a creative cake!  He's already looking forward to his birthday next year, when Grandma is going to get him a scout shirt and he can get baptized!

more pictures

Well Katelyn is almost 4 weeks old, and I've only posted a couple pictures-thought I better let you know more about what she looks like now.

She's a good baby-sleeps a lot during the day which is nice, likes the car with is wonderful! Her biggest chunk of sleep is about 8:30pm-1 or 2am..which is awesome but sometimes I don't go to bed until 11pm which doesn't make the chunk very big for me..but that's my own fault. Since birth she's had a stuffy nose-well pretty much since birth, I'm certain Marie gave it to her, and I can't wait until I don't have to suck her nose out at each feeding at night!

Marie is Mrs. Mom and very much too helpful-and squeezes too hard sometimes..but I know she loves her very much.

Okay here's some pictures.

-Very first outfit-2 days old!

-Sneaking out of her pajamas!


-She has her ankles crossed like this a lot!


All right-well I'm feeding Katelyn right now and she finally got her poop out, and it's a blow out everywhere--got to run!

Oh and this is Marie dancing, something she's VERY into right now!
