Grocery Help

Jacob was trying to be helpful when he made me a grocery list. 
His handwriting is not the best but he requested:
4 milk jugs
Berries (raspberry, blackberries)
Fruit snacks for Adam
Fruit roll ups for Hunter
Gushers for Jacob

I'm impressed that they asked for berries. I find it comical that they have requested I buy them each a different type of fruit snack. And nothing more.

Moving Out


Ashlyn and I have decided to stop sharing a room as of last night. I thought I would be sad or feel like she was too far away being next door instead of right next to me. I am happy to report that we both slept wonderfully. By the time I crawled into bed, I was too tired to put much thought into anything! 
Ashlyn has officially graduated from her pack 'n play at 5 1/2 months old. 




It was definitely time.
We moved Jacob back downstairs to his room 2 nights ago so the room was ready for it's intended occupant. It's so exciting getting our house put back together and putting people & things (lots of things) where they belong!!

Sleeping Beauty

Have I mentioned that I have the BEST BABY EVER? Well I'm here to write again about just how awesome she is. Yesterday, I laid her down for a nap around 4 p.m. She slept and slept. I was able to get the kitchen clean for the first time in a very long time. I fed the kids and bathed them and got them to bed. She woke up about 7:30 to eat. I fed her and she went back to sleep. I was able to help Trevor with some painting in the basement (almost done!). I waited for her and expected her to wake up and be up for a few hours before she settled in. At around 11:30, I turned in, thinking she would be up shortly. She slept until 4:00 a.m. Then ate & went back to sleep until 7:30. So a total of about 15 hours of sleep, waking up twice to eat. I think that qualifies as the best baby ever. I would never believe such a good baby existed, especially not amongst my children. But she does exist! And I am SO very grateful. I keep telling people that was the deal I made with Heavenly Father. A good baby for my husband being the bishop. So far he has definitely held up his end of the bargain!
