4th of July

We headed to the cabin on Church Pine for the 4th. It didn't goes as well as planned. Elly loved being outside all day but hated sleeping in the heat. Two out of the four night I drove home so that Elly would sleep. Aaron got to drunk and dehydrated one of the days and was basically worthless the rest of the weekend, and didn't feel like himself for a good week. On the good side, the weather was great! We swam everyday. We could hardly keep Dempsey out of the water. My cousin Jake and his wife Dawn and son Aadin came home to visit. It was great to see them again. And the highest point for David(Heathers Husband) were the fireworks. Everyone pitched in some money so that we could have a great fireworks show and we did. With about $900 of fireworks we had the best show on the lake. It was awesome!

Class Reunion

The last week of June, Amanda and I hosted our 10 year class reunion. I was quite worried about the turn out or if it would be any fun. Things went great. more people then those who had RSVP'ed, showed up. We had about 60 people; there was plenty of food and everyone had lots of fun. David and Aaron made some new friends and really enjoyed our classmate. Just a few pictures of the night.

class reunuion

I know I've been busy, and had time on the computer but just no time to post. I have been working on getting my 10 year class reunion together and I only have one helper, Amanda.

So I'll cut to the chase...

Elly is getting big, almost 5 moths old now. She's about 16lbs. 25 inches long and boy is she active. She is rolling everywhere!! If she wants something she'll roll and wiggle her way over to it. She is so much fun. She laughs like crazy and is almost always in a great mood, excepting the last few days. Elly has her first tooth and is working on number 2 and has the sniffles, so she's been a little cranky but still very tolerable.

Dempsey is a wild man. Going though his terrible 2's, but I can handle it most days; Dad on the other hand hates the constant wining. He is starting to enunciate his words better and is very talk, in the 90% for his height.

I have been working again, only on Fridays. The kids have been going to daycare while I'm at work, which is going well. Payton and Walker go to the same daycare so Dempsey is excited to go each week.

Here are some pictures, no particular order.

last few months...

I am sorry for not posting anything lately but it's just so hard to find the time, even now I should be in bed. So this will be short. Elly is getting bigger and bigger, rolling around the house and a perfect baby. Dempsey just had his 2nd birthday on the 20th. We had two parties which worked out ok but one is easier, even if the house would be packed. He got some great gifts. Thank you everyone. Today the kids went to there first day of Day Care!! It was only a half day but a good way to start. I will be working every friday and the kids will be in day care every friday, I'm kinda excited to be working but worry I wont be busy enough to make it work. We'll see.

Here's one picture, I have to download the birthday party yet, sorry.

so long

Sorry it's been so long since I have posted anything new, it has been very busy with the Elly around. Although it is Dempsey that is the hard one to keep tabs on. Bed time has been really tough lately. I thought that I got a system down but then Aaron was on a seven day off stretch and let Demps sleep with him a few nights so I could get sleep and it through EVEYTHING off. So now I've been back to laying with Demps till he falls asleep, which can take up to 40 minutes, after we finish our 30 minute story. By then Elly and I are both very ready for bed, and so I am never able to use the computer, all day.

Both the kids are growing like weeds, Dempsey is about 35 inches tall and 29 pounds. Elly is 24 inches and 13 pounds, and only 2 months old.

Elly hasn't done anything amazing yet, I'm pretty sure she'll be behind her brother when it comes to physical development since we can't leave her on the floor without constant supervision, fear that her brother will step, fall, or drive something on her. She is though a very happy baby, always smiling ans giggling. She sleeps really well; getting up 2 or 3 times a might. Dempsey still gets up that much some nights, those night really suck for mommy.

In a week Dempsey and Aaron are going on a little vacation; going to visit Papa Rick and Nana Suey in Florida. I am very excited to get some Elly time as well as time to do some crapting (crafting). I have been working a a small quilt for Ellys babies cradle and has material cut to make Elly a quilt. I hope I can get them both sewn before the boys are back.

Here are some pictures from that last moth or so...

Since she's been born...

Things are going great. Elly is a wonderful little girl, sleeping great and is a very calm baby. She is gaining weight, which she should, she eats like a pig. Dempsey is adjusting well; bed time is tough on him since he doesn't get to have his mommy lie with him all the time. Nap time goes much better. Our home life has defiantly changed.

2 weeks old Dempsey actually likes to have Elly lie in his bed with him

Dempsey still wants to do a belly shot

And here's my AFTER baby belly shot. I have lost pretty close to all my baby weight, I'm not sure if I've lost all of it since I haven't weighed my self in about a week. I've lost at least 22lbs since Elly was born.
