Packing Or Not Packing

Yes, I am complaining... I should be doing all the things I've mentioned below. Have I done any of them??? NOPE! Instead I tried to take a nap (got an hour in), then listened to Ellie scream- its her new thing that I am not pleased about. (Side note: when she wakes up from sleeping she screams. NO not a loud cry, a loud SCREAM!!! One that makes the neighbors be wondering- that kind of scream.) 45min. later we finally made it down stairs to eat. Shes playing and I am typing my blog.
I guess you can say its addicting.... ha ha ha

E just called and said he is coming home early. AHHHH! Need to kick it in gear and at least clean the kitchen. Its a pepeeve of his if its dirty. I should take a pic. and let you all decide if its clean or dirty. I say is not that bad. He would say its messy/dirty and it needs to be done. Whatever..... I told him I would clean it before I left so he wouldn't have to mess with it. After all he is laying tile for me. :) YAYAYAY!!! I can't wait for it to be all done. For one, so I don't live in a construction zone and 2: it will look so pretty :)

PEACE OUT

24 HRS

24Hrs and we will be in KY (adding 3 hours of course because of the time difference).
Yes, it is that time... Laundry, Laundry, Laundry. Folding, Hanging, and sticking it away. then taking what Ellie needs (shes packing first), and then what I need. Packing is a chore. It use to be so easy when it was just me. Now theres my almost 15month old I have to think about.
Then after packing comes dishes, dusting, sticking away toys, and titting up. The joys of being a SAHM!!!!! :) Oh!! and since we are staying at Mom and Dads tonight, I have to pack for E, E and me. And I am on the count down. Laundry is done and that is all I've done. Besides, watch Veggie Tales, Feed Ellie, Take a walk outside with Ellie, do a Puzzle, re-fold clothes that Ellie unfolded, chase her around the house and more. NAP TIME ANYONE!!! ME PLEASE!!!!!!! I did wash another load just waiting for it to dry.... only for it to sit on the couch ha ha ha
Did I mention I am packing for her and me in a carry-on suit case!!! Having said that when you see pictures from our trip you will know why Ellie is wearing different clothes and I am not!!! :)
We (Dad, Mom, Tanner, Zach, Ellie and myself) are flying out there for:
1: To witness the Birth of Hannah - she has decided to dedicate herself to God
2: See my sister (my reason)
3: See Hannah, Grace, Charlie & Kellar
4: See Don (YAY DON!!! You made my list)
5: Chase Chickens (Ellies #1 thing to do)
6: Go fishing (The boys)
7: Mud wrestling (who said that?? ha ha ha)
8: Eat Dons Home-made Salsa. (It has been way to long)
9: Eat at the home-style place (Tanner, Dad and Mom)
10: Enjoy the Rain and cold weather (mid 50's to low 60's)

CAN'T WaIT!!!!!!

Construction has begun at our home

We ripped up all the carpet in the Dinning room, and entry. And pulled up linoleum which I like to call *Fake Tile*- in the kitchen. We are sticking down *Real Tile* in the entry, all bathrooms, kitchen, Piano & TV Room, and hall way in the up-stairs. 3 weeks ago, Eric and his Dad have started our tile project. It is looking so pretty. Can't wait until we are all done. Oh in the the dining room and entry to the Kitchen area we are sticking down wood. Hopefully the real wood that we got from Dadfer (Bunkie) from his work. This house is a never ending project. Here are some pictures - because I know you all are just dying to see it :)

What happends when you feed yourself PASTA

This is what you will look like.
Ellie is feeding herself (and me) Pasta. It got everywhere - in her hair, all over her chair, clothes, the floor, arms, legs and me. She enjoyed feeding herself that and sharing her food with me. I believe she ate for like an hour+ because it was just soooo much fun!!!
Afterwards we HAD to take a bath. Yes, the both of us. That night was alot of fun. We played with our food while we ate it and then got to a bath and play with our toys. Oh, look at the last picture- she likes to cross her feet/legs while she sits in her chair, our laps, the floor where. I LOVE IT and HER!!!

Finally Pictures

The first picture is of E and I skiing! Yes, I went skiing and had a lot of fun and did not fall once.
The second pic. is of Ellie and Sledding - which she did not like. The 3rd pic is out of order so look at the 4th picture of Big E and Little E sledding together then back to the 3rd picture. Thats what she looked like when she was at the bottom of the hill which was not a big hill. The next 3 are just of us (Eric, Ellie and me). We had a great time. :) Can't wait to go to the snow next year!!! Maybe then Ellie will have a little more fun in the snow.

Name Poll

Here are some names that Eric and I are kicking around for baby number 2.
To the Right is a BOY and GIRL POLL.... let us know what you all like better.
My favorite is: Otis Barnabus (Boy) and Rainy Sheba (Girl).
WHAT DO YOU LIKE???? Let us know :)

THE WONDERFUL SOUNDS....

Today Ellie and I went to see Pam White. She is my mid-wife, and I adore her. For those that don't know, we are having a home-water birth!! I am debating if I want to have her/him here or at my Moms house with the nice jetted tub :)
So.... to say the least, I am officially PREGNANT!!!!
Ellie and I got to hear the baby heart-beat! Yes, there is ONLY one inside. :( Was hoping for 2. oh well.... I am 12.5 weeks pregnant. can you believe it. I am entering my 2nd trimester. WOA!! How 3 months just flies by. But things are going great. People ask "how I am feeling and doing" - my answer "I don't feel pregnant." So to hear the heart beat was reassuing. Not that I doubted being pregnant. But its always a nice feeling to know and say, "YES! I am pregnant!!!" 3 months down, and 6 more to go.

Funny Quizz

So, I could take those all day long :)

You all will have to take them, too.
What kind of Donut are you?
How Girlie are you?
Are you more like Jennifer or Angelina? (Need to get this one and take it...)

What Kind of Donut Are You???

You Are a Boston Creme Donut

You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft. You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily. You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out.

What Donut Are You?

I'm 48% Girlie

You Are 48% Girly

You're a little girly, a little boyish, and probably a whole lot indie. You have your own unique style, and it pretty much defies gender lines.

How Girly Are You?

All alone

I am never alone. Always have my side kick with me. I believe tonight is the first night that I've been home alone... and I don't like it. Eric took Ellie to the Preacher Committee meeting. :(
I guess that means I get to clean, pick-up, dust and vacuum this house. GO ME!!!! :)

I know, I know this is a boring post. But it is whats on my mind. My hubby took my baby and now I feel *empty arms* syndrome. You all know that feeling??? Well, it sucks.

Ok- Hannah said that she received a bag of M&M's in the package. Were there 2 bags or just the 1? The reason I ask, and no its not a big deal. But I gave you a bag of M&M's because I don't care for chocolate right now. And didn't want them to go to waste so I mailed them for ya... FYI
Did you get the card with the pictures? Please say yes. Actually it wasn't a pic. just an envelope of pictures for you. Making sure.

BTW

I have a few new pictures at the bottom. Check them out...
H and G you will love them! :)

A reminder to anyone that reads my post:
PLEASE don't say anything
about what I cant talk about.
We aren't able to talk about it on here.
Thanks!
