a little of this, a little of that

Well the 4th of July was a success! The weather was actually chilly, who would've thought in July we'd be wearing sweatshirts and using the fire pit? We had a lot of people and a lot of food!...I was terrible at taking any pictures and Presley was whiney..........and if you are wondering, she has not slept thru the night again. We knew it wouldn't last long.

Steve has spent the last couple weeks trying to hook up duct work and vents so that we have heat and air conditioning in the family room and bedroom and now it works! The family room and bedroom were an addition on our house and it was never hooked up, so we managed the last 3 years with fans and space heaters! :) Our carpet should be here and installed in the next couple weeks! We are going to repaint the family room and put up new trim and a new bedroom door! It will look like a completely different room! Can't wait!

I'm so happy for all my friends and family members that are pregnant and having babies! It'll be nice to have people to relate with and tell stories to. It's crazy how different everyones pregnancies are and how different babies can be! (I secretly hope that someone has a difficult baby like Presley, so someone understands what we have been going thru! :) )

Speaking of Presley, she is getting to be a much better and happier baby. She actually falls asleep pretty easily now which is nice. She gets up once in the middle of the night, but usually she'll sleep till 6.........which is a blessing considering it was between 4 and 5:30 am! We are still working on sitting up but she has perfect head control and has for a long time! She could be crying and whiney on the carpet, not wanting to play with us and then you can lay her on her towel next to the running water of the bath tub and she'll screech and giggle b/c she is soooo excited for her bath! She smiles and kicks like crazy for the anticipation of her bath!

My bald father and bald sister in the Grand Canyon riding mules to the bottom! I hope they are having a blast and taking lots of pictures.
My mom is supposed to be painted the bedroom before my dad gets back, but she isn't very motivated. I don't blame her, a nice, quiet household (minus the dogs chasing each other around)! Ahhhhh. lay back and enjoy mom!
My other sister.......hmmmmm....I was told if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.......so I better go to bed. Night! :)
