10 on Tuesday or A list of my excuses...

Why haven't I been posting this month? Well it could be any of these reasons:)
1. I've lost my camera, I have absolutely no idea where it is.
2. I went to Mexico.
3. Seth's jobs are out of control busy.
4. My job was busy and then I got fired, but they've asked me to apply for the head coach position, I was an assistant.
5. While in Mexico Seth ripped out my main level bath and laundry and started anew.
6. The above project was suppose to be done before I returned home, but wasn't.
7. The above project should have all the big piece done TODAY!!
8. I was shopping for a new washer and dryer for my new laundry room. And they came this morning. (Bosch 500 steams)
9. Because of the aformentioned project in the laundry room I haven't done laundry in almost 3 weeks. Thank goodness we've switched seasons so we have something to wear! I am now working on the mountain (no lie) of laundry that needs to be done.
10.Maybe I've lost my camera because of all the crazyness in my house? Maybe by tomorrow I'll have a toilet on the main level? it's like tootie roll lollipops, the world may never know. Or they will soon... Either way, I'll be better in April, I promise:)

February Pictures

Today is a beautiful day here in Colorado! Mid 50's with the sun shining! Today has been an amazing day, and I'm not just saying that becuase yesterday was the worst Monday on record for our family ever (with the flat tire, Colin chin scrap, and marker on the walls). All of us (even daddy!) went to music. And then the boys and I went to our favorite park (by the old house, not the new house ~JM) and even on such a lovely day, there still wasn't another person there!! We loved it! We even came home, looked for flowers blooming in the yard (there were two a yellow crocus and a purple primrose), and had a picnic. The weather is suppose to be like this for the rest of the week, and I can't wait! Here are a few of our pictures from February!!
Our Valentine, that just never got sent out to everyone!

John "skiing" on our porch...Withdrawls maybe?

John holding TT's dog Bella, clearly they are both enjoying it, no:)

Doodle Bug enjoying the Valentine's sucker!

And how Most of the pictures from our "photoshoot" really turned out:) Buck up big brother!!

Our little ski bunny

We were up at the condo two weekends ago with Uncle Tom and Cousin Abbey. We had a wonderful time and even though it was unbelievabily cold, we (Seth) taught John how to ski! Woohoo for free lift tickets until he's 4!! He even got to use the magic carpet lift and ski down what many people would call a mountain, but we know as the bunny hill. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again!

And here are a couple more, John and James test driving tractors, one with John and James'ribbons from the tractor "race", and my new shelf in the kitchen that I am in love with!

Here are our pictures from January. Lots of fun times! At the Stock Show, in Denver for NYE, playing with friends, even a little bed head:) Enjoy!

In other news...

•I switched C to 24 month clothes because things were no longer snapping. And I switched J to 3’s because of the 3 inch gaps at the bottom of his pants AND shirts. Seriously 3’s!! I now have to go shopping because he has 4 shirts! Darn
•We are continuing our week of looking at preschools and I’ll have a full wrap up next week. We have found two so far that we like, but would like to be completely sure before we commit.
•We installed a new shelf in the kitchen which maybe my favorite DIY project EVA

•J is still rocking soccer, and needs to continue to practice, because C is also rocking soccer
•C walks all the time now, did I ever mention that?
•We have the pictures from the Haley Holiday shoot with Brooke. Here are a few favorites:

Annnnnnnnnnnd nap is over so only half get pictures! TTFN!!

When it rains...

It pours, apparently cold water. When we did our inspection on the new house in October, he mentioned the water heater didn't look great, but if functioned so we didn't think too much of it. We also notice, (recently) that the temp was all the way up, a huge no no in the world of baby proofing. But especially upstairs the water never gets hot. When I shower I turn it all the way hot, and it never is really that warm. Also during the inspection we found 2 huge gas leaks that needed to be fixed, and there is a gas line in the garage that just isn't needed. All of these we've know about and planned on fixing for a while. We'll Monday there was water on the floor, not a ton, but some.
Plummer came and the water heater is donezo. While he was here we had him check the furnace and humidifier. This is also apparently not in good shape. It doesn't get rid of the water after it uses it. Which then sits and molds. So that needs to go.
So now instead of having a weekend in Vegas to ourselves next month, we are going to enjoy, hot water and mold free air. It is probably a good trade off, but I’m still disappointed. And stinky, I really need a shower
