Just when we think we are finished...

Lucas thinks we need a little more paint. Apparently he didn't like the white wall. Now you could blame the mother for not paying that close attention, but how was I suppose to know that a paint brush from the two days ago would still be wet!! The funny part was that he tried to clean it off with a napkin, which only smeared it more. The not so funny part was that he dropped the paint brush on the carpet. It's a good thing that we had some white touch up paint for the wall and soap and water for the carpet. You might be wondering why he is in his diaper. Well...he decided that after touching it with his hands he would wipe it on his clothes. This of course did not make his mother very happy at all. Especially when he was wearing nice new winter clothes, since summer and fall have disappeared. Despite the little set back, the house is now officially painted!! What a relief that is.

Now we have to pay more attention to our Provo home and make sure it all gets moved today and tomorrow. Unfortunately the weather looks like it won't be cooperating with us. I guess we'll just have to drive fast!! :)

A week ago I got to go to my sister, Nappy's (#15), volleyball game. They won, but they sure give those in the stands some high blood pressure. So far they are undefeated in region play. Last year they took second in state and we are hoping for good results this year. I love to watch her play. Just a little side note: Her real name is Jessica, but through high school she's known as Nappy. Jess wondered if Lucas would know her as Nappy or Jessica. We tested his knowledge and Nappy won out. He can say Nappy and point to her picture, but when we ask where Jessica is he has the blank stare. It's pretty funny!!

The other day I was trying to hurry so that I could take Lucas over to play with Carter. They were going to watch him while I painted. Of course, when I'm in a hurry, Lucas is running in slow motion. I was trying to feed him some supper, but he wouldn't let me feed it to him. Instead he wanted to do it himself. This meant that he would eat one noodle at a time. I had his bath water all ready to go and he still wasn't finished. As you can see most of the noodles ended up in his lap!!

Carolina Parakeet...

This is the color of Lucas's room. I think it'll turn out cute. It definitely had to grow on me though. It wasn't the color that I had originally wanted. If you look down the hall at his room it looks like his room is glowing. When we originally painted it, it looked more pastel, but dried quite bright. You just can't stare at it very long or your eyes go funny!!

Jed and I painted the loft and sitting room yesterday. We need to do one more coat on the loft and then I think we will be all done!! YEAH!! Painting can be hard work. But it's definitely worth it when you have some color in the house.

They delivered the fridge and washer and dryer yesterday. They are very nice. I'm really excited about them.

I have taken a few loads to the house, but I need to pack some more of the Provo house so we have more to take. We'll move all the big stuff this weekend.

Official Home Owners

It's official. We now have the keys to our Spanish Fork home. We signed on Monday and got the keys on Tuesday. We didn't waste any time...I went straight to the house and started taping the walls for paint. Jed came over after work and we painted the kitchen and the family room. I finished the kitchen yesterday afternoon while Lucas was sleeping. Last night, Tawnya helped me paint Lucas's room. It's going to be way cute. I'm going over one more time today to finish the edges.

Jed left for Milwaukee yesterday. He called this morning and said that he's having a good time. They were walking around the city. He's meetings don't start until tomorrow. Since he's gone, I'm heading up to Honeyville today. On the way we are stopping in Grantsville to watch Nappy's volleyball game. This will be first game I've seen this season so I'm really excited. We are going to be doing Salsa while I'm home. I'm on my last jar so this is very good timing!

Fun Pics of Lucas

It's so funny that he knows what to do with a straightner!!

Just Relaxin'!

ME??!!

Giving Hugs....

and more Hugs!!!

Sick Little Boy

Lucas came down with a cold a couple of days ago. I guess it was the change in weather. This morning I woke up with a sore throat. I hate being sick. It's the pits. Lucas is so funny though. Since he's sick he wants lots of sympathy. He likes to lay on the couch and watch Baby Noah or Baby McDonald while I cater to him. It makes me laugh! We gave him a haircut the other day. It's quite short compared to what it was. (Not as short as the first haircut!!) I'll try to get a better picture of it sometime.

This is what the kitchen looks like with the countertops. I love it!! (Sorry the picture is a bit fuzzy).
