how do you make a pregnancy fly by??? just sleep away the first trimester because you are so super sick. then move from one state to your parents house for six weeks while not knowing if everything is going to fall through on the house you made an offer on, become a home owner on day 31 of a 30 day closing (thank you sellers), get to az with a house to de-junk (bought it furnished) and clean it, paint it, organize it, lay sod, dealing with saws and hammering from workers installing hardwood floors, rip out some bushes and other random yard things. not have insurance or a doctor or a doctor's visit for three weeks ( that's a total of eight weeks without an appt...not comforting after miscarrying at 20 weeks last june) FINALLY feeling settled (just carpet and and painting upstairs to go) AND THEN waking up at 2 AM to a semi-flooded house. live in a hotel for a week and then another week of being confined to the upstairs, and then another week of dealing with contractors, hammering, drilling, ect. AND THEN re-paint, re-organize, re-clean, re-clean, re-clean all while dealing with a toddler...............YES!!! this has been my super fun experience!! The past three weeks have been crazy to say the LEAST!
the awesome green carpet that we are getting re-placed next sat :) jake had white feet for a week from the work going on
jake loving the hotel
our house temp was around 130 degrees for a few days while things dried out
yes, we have replace ALL light fixtures and added some recessed lighting
the cause for this three week disaster..... the backside of the toilet flooded which is right over the kitchen. at 2 am john heard a water leak, like a pipe broke, falling on the tile downstairs. he jumped out of bed and the carpet was already a swamp! i was in a deep sleep and my heart beat didn't slow down for about a hour. john started ripping out carpet and i ran downstairs with about 50 towels and started to clean up the flood. water was dripping everywhere and the ceiling was starting to come down....it was WAY too much to take in at 2 am!! we just had hardwood floors put in but thank heavens there was little damage. SO after all of this i am off to slc and vegas for a MUCH needed vacation :) pics of the final house to come in a few weeks.....
and jake is still the funniest kid i know.... he can count to ten and say all upper and lower case letters.... and he sings the abc song like you wouldn't believe!! he loves every kind of ball and truck and is the BUSIEST little boy, which i love :)
jake has been so cute the past two weeks...he has been such a helper and has had my mom and grandma laughing non stop!! we love, love him :)
4-generation picture.... my mom and grandma have been such a help(cooking good meals, taking jake to the store everyday to buy a toy, holding halle, changing diapers, ect.). i had mastitis and was out for three days but i'm finally feeling better. i had it with jake too... i would not wish this upon anyone! i am in for a shock when they leave tomorrow.
the best part is that jake thought he was helping but he was putting the springs on the wrong way... he probably did more than half the tramp this way and he was so proud to be helping!
we ate serendipity 3 every night....it's fun that we are just
john was fascinated with the new bridge at the hoover dam and i was so hot i really could have cared less :) maybe one day i'll want to stop and see it
jake loves balls of every kind but he really loves TENNIS BALLS!!! we let him run around the tennis court and that kid has energy like you wouldn't believe! he will throw a ball, run at high speed to the other side to get it, run to the net and throw it over and then run to the other side and do it all over again.....he will do this like 20 times in a row!!!
jake a been a little pro at going pee pee in his potty... he is so proud of himself and does a little happy feet dance every time he goes :)
gotta love the tan lines and his cute bum!!!
the dining room light
the carpet will be in on sat......yeah!!!!
the chair rail john installed....we still need to paint the bottom half
