the smell of new carpet.....
Well, here is a picture of our old bedroom carpet...see that light colored piece in the middle? Yeah that was the color of the carpet under the closet door hinge....the color the carpet was supposed to be!!! How gross is that? Barf.
Here is the family room getting ready for a fresh coat of paint.
And the bedroom where it meets the family room, see the nice large stain on the carpet in front of the night stand? Yeah, that's been there since we moved in....and even after we cleaned the carpets!
Now look! Ahhhh....how nice!
Ahhh, nice, clean room! We don't want to move anything back in! I love the crisp, clean look. But let's not kid ourselves...dust will cover this room in the next week and I'll go back to bitching about how I hate the dark furniture b/c you can see all the dust! Owell, life goes on.

Growing girl....
She had peas tonight and actually didn't mind them! I told my mom I feel bad giving her all these vegetables before fruit. I also bought beans and sweet potatoes. My mom said that sweet potatoes shouldn't really count as a vegetable since they are sweet....damn, I should've stuck with the squash.
I would say that Presley is officially scooting around! Though I'm not sure she is aware of it, but she is rolling all over the place...front to back, back to front....then when she is on her tummy she buries her head in the floor, lifts her body up with her legs and pushes herself forward! Over and over again, sometimes reaching her destination and sometimes accidently rolling the wrong way! Right now we try to keep her on her blanket, since our carpet is so gross we don't know what is growing in it! ha, that will all change tomorrow with our new carpet! Of course, then we'll try to stop her from spitting up all over the new carpet!
She is 5 and 1/2 months now, how much will she change in the next 2 weeks before her 6 month appt? Everyone is right, time goes too fast!

Listen.....
As I sit here typing with the patio door open....my baby is sleeping and I can hear the baby next door crying! AHHH.....sweet justice.
Our baby started baby food this past week....carrots! She didn't mind them too much as long as it was diluded with some cereal! I think we are going to give her peas tonight, we'll see how that goes!
My dad got home from his 2 week vacation on Thursday, he loved driving across country in his little convertible! He was tan and tired. I'm sure it was nice for him to get home and sleep in his own bed! I'm so happy he gets to take these vacations to travel and see the country. Though none of us are fond of the fact that he goes by himself, I'm sure he is safe ;)
My mom watched Presley yesterday so we could get the house ready for carpet Monday morning. We painted, re-trimed, got a new bedroom door....and moved everything from the family and bedroom into the living and dining rooms! I never realized we had so much crap! I'll post before and after pictures later this week!
We have a busy week and we leave for Okoboji Saturday morning...again, we didn't realize how much more 'stuff' we'd have to take with us having one kid and Steve's sister has 4 kids and both of his brothers have 3 kids! UGH! Oh well, it will be a nice, relaxing week and hopefully we'll have good weather! Keep your fingers crossed!

Busy weekend....as always!
Well my mom came down with either strep or mono on Thursday.....little weird for my mom to have either but owell. So Steve picked Presley up from daycare early. My mom called me at 9 pm, as I'm getting ready for bed....She lost my sisters dog Rocky! OMG! That dog is my sisters life! We had to find that dog! I went over and tried to help find Rocky, after an hour in the dark we gave up. We knew we couldn't tell Holly until she got home on Saturday. Long story short, we ended up getting Rocky back the next day! Thank god!!!!
Friday I went to a baby shower for our friend Jackie! She due to have baby Ava in the next couple weeks and we are very excited for them and for Presley to have a new friend! Saturday morning my friend April went with me to Omaha to pick up Holly from the airport. It was very nice of her to join me so I didn't have to drive two hours by myself! We got to hear all about Holly's trip down the Grand Canyon on mules! How fun! I wish I could've gone with them!
I went to my mom's for 2 hours of uninterruped TV that night so we could watch the Harper's Island finale! No one else we knew seemed to watch it, but I was hooked! If you didn't watch, you missed out! Sorry for your luck!
Steve is working with his brother today, Presley has been very good and is in the middle of her 3rd good nap today! I was actually able to get some stuff down around the house and of course have time to download pics and update the blog!

Cute baby pics
This is from a couple weekends ago, we went up to Saylorville to enjoy the nice weather! We knew Presley would like it!
We bought her a little $5 pool at Target, she can't sit up yet so she wasn't too sure about it. She would prefer standing instead!
I'm trying to see if we can extend her attention span for more than 5 minutes by exposing her to The Little Mermaid. I figured that would keep her intrigued....but not for more than 5 minutes! How can she not like Ariel and Flounder?
She'll sit in her jumper a lot longer if it is outside, which works out perfectly when we want to eat dinner on the deck!
