Hello....

Aidan at his birthday party with his Wall E cake!! He absolutely loves Wall E!!

William showing his angry eyes!


Well we have been one busy family these last 5 months. Steve got all of the crops out of the field the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and got almost all his plowing done. He can't finish the plowing because now the ground is frozen.


Aidan had his 3rd birthday in November and I can't believe that he is 3 already. He is a joy even during his tantrums. He is a very stubborn and independent. He wants to do what he wants to do and no one can stop him.


William is getting to be a very big boy. We went to his 9 month doctor appointment in November and he weight 28 lbs. He is also crawling all around he has even started to kind of walking. He takes about 3 to 5 steps and then falls down. He also likes to follow his brother around all over the house.


As for me I haven't been up to much. I went shopping on Black Friday for the first time ever. I got up at 3:30 am to be in Owatonna by 5 am. I couldn't believe all the chaos that happens on that morning. I went shopping with my mom and sister and we had the best time. I would so do that again next year!!

Kids Update

Well William is now 6 months old. I can't believe how time flies when you are busy. Aidan loves his baby brother just like William absolutely adores his older one. William is now sitting by himself and he rolls all over the place. He doesn't really care to lay on his back anymore because he knows what the world looks like by sitting.

Aidan went to the dentist for the first time this week. He did really well. He let them clean his teeth and take an x-ray. He was such a good little boy that he even got to pick a prize. He doesn't have any cavities either!!


Here are some pictures of the kiddos:

Aidan and William from when William came home. I just thought it was cute. Not sure if I put it on earlier.

"Look Mom no hands"

My friend Kandi gave these outfits to them so I had to take a picture. This was taken one day in July when it was so blasted cold out. The only time that William wore this outfit as he is in 12 month clothing already.

Update

Well here are pictures of our finished house and a couple extras:

Some visitors to our backyard. We have now put out a molasses block but haven't seen them lately. Hopefully they will come back soon!

Another visitor to our garage. He didn't want to leave at all.

Ok so I know that I am a bad blogger but with 2 kids I get so busy that at night I just want to relax and watch tv. I have actually noticed that since we have moved to our new house I am not on the computer nearly as much as I was before. In the new house the computer is in a room by itself and I can't see the TV whereas in the old house I could see the TV so I didn't have to leave the computer if I wanted to watch something.

Well we have been in the house for almost 2 months and we are loving it. We have so much room and we don't feel cramped. There are a couple things that I would change but they are stuff that we can do later.

Update on Everything

Ok so I know I am a bad blogger but I have just been so busy that I can't keep this updated.

Just so you all know we are moved into our new house!!! We moved the middle of June and are still moving stuff over from the other house. Someday I will have everything here. We are loving all the space that we have now. Aidan especially likes it because he can go outside by himself because we are off the road so we don't have to worry that he will go on the road within an instant. William likes it because he can lay on the floor and not have to worry about some dog bothering him or having dog hair getting into his mouth.

William also turned 5 months yesterday. I can't believe how much he has grown. We went to his 4 month doctor appointment a couple weeks ago and he was 21 pounds. He is wearing 9 month clothing also. He loves to eat!!

Well I will try to get some pictures up later today so that you all can see the house and William and Aidan.

House Progress

Well the house is coming along. We are expected to be able to move in around June 15th. We can't wait. Our house now is growing smaller by the day. The only thing is that I need to get my butt in gear and start packing. It is just hard when you have one child that wants to go outside all day and the other child wants to eat all the time.

Right now they are working on the flooring, trim work, and the finish electrical stuff. The house is looking very nice. I even got a compliment from Steve about how nice I am making our house

Here are some pictures of what has happened lately:

Kitchen that is being worked on.

Ron and Steve unloading the boxes. Thank to Ron for helping this day too.

My dad's semi in our driveway. Dart let him borrow a trailer for the day. I didn't think I ordered that many cabinets but once they were all unloaded they filled the garage. They actually filled half of the semi trailer too.

I have some more updated pictures that I will hopefully get on here tonight. (6/6)

William at 3 months

Well I can't believe it has been 3 months already since William was born!! Life has been really hectic though. I never thought 2 kids would be so much work but it is!!

Here are some things about William:

• He is starting to smile a lot more. He really likes it when I make funny noises.
• He is also starting to try and giggle. I really can't wait until we hear his first giggles. I have heard him giggle in his sleep.
• He is also trying to rollover. I have rolled him over to his tummy and he just perks his head up right away.

Today Aidan, William and I went for our first walk with our new stroller. Aidan really enjoyed it. William I think enjoyed it but since we were walking on gravel it was hard for him to fall asleep. It was also extremely windy. We walked from our house that we live in now to our new house. It was a long walk but it was really refreshing. Maybe if I get the gumption I will do that everyday it would equal about a mile and a half.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:

Brotherly love!

William in the Exersaucer for the first time. He didn't really care for it but it will grow on him.

House Progress

Well our house has come a long ways since the last time. We now have water running, all the walls are enclosed, textured and painted. We now have trim on the windows. All the electrical is done they are just now putting the finishing touches on. Yesterday we got our vinyl floors put in the bathrooms. We also are starting to get the rock put on the front of our house.

This is the platform that they used when they dry walled and putting the electrical in.

This is the trim work on the upper windows.
The master bathroom floor. This is the same flooring in the upstairs bath too.

Paint color for the whole house. This is the kitchen thoughAidan showing off the closets in his bedroom.

Railing for the loft and the stairs.

We are hoping to be into our house in the middle of May I was hoping for this month but I guess it isn't going to work out. We are all getting really excited to move especially Aidan. There is so much more space for him to run around than our house now.
