Is It Naptime Yet

Saturday was a fun day. Jon got nice and dusty working outside, then we all went to Plantworld Nursery to pick up sod. It turns out you have to order it, and the order has to be at least 500 square feet. We only need 200 square feet, so we passed.
They have great surroundings there. They have tortoises, exotic birds and a big waterfall with turtles. I only got a picture of the tortoise though.

We stopped by Jon’s parents house to get some plugs of grass. Hopefully by next summer we have a full yard. We got home in time for Lilah to take a nap. I went shopping while my whole family slept . I guess we needed food though.
Later that night we went to Chuck E’ Cheese with Carolyn, Julie, Howard, Howie and Kaitlyn. Carolyn is such a nice aunt to treat our family to overpriced family fun. 🙂 We love her, and Lilah did not want to leave, she was having such a blast. Next time I think we’ll skip the soda though because she was hard to put to bed when we got home.

We got home nice and late.
This weekend was crazy. Lilah was literally wearing her only clean and dry pants when we left for plant world. I’ve been neglecting the laundry. Now we have laundry in various holding places around the house, since we only have one laundry basket. I have 2 kid loads, 1 towel load, and 1 white load of clothes to fold. I need to be a better housekeeper. It’s just tough. I took an English test Friday, and I have a paper due this Friday for History. I wish I could just have some time to myself…. but I guess I used it spending time with family this weekend….which is fun too.

I figured out that I can only upload five pictures at a time, but I can put more than that in a single posting.
So anyways here are pictures from Scott and Fallon’s wedding.

Jon doctored this photo. This is before the wedding and we just loved it.

Andrea helping Mom. Kerrianne is at the end of the table.
Scott giving his vows.
They are now Mr. and Mrs. Scott R. Harvey

Scott is never serious.:) Here is a picture of Carolyn.
Judy holding Eden. Julie holding Adrienne.
Here is the only picture I got of Adrienne, sorry it’s not more flattering.
Us with the bride and groom.
Cutting the cake. My mom made it.
My camera was going weird, so I didn’t gett good pictures of them feeding it to one another. But Fallon did spread a little on Scott’s face.

Fake bouquet toss
Scott helped Lilah to “catch” it.

Jon liked this picture of Fallon taking a picture of Lilah.
A kiss during thier dance.

Andrea and Brien putting the finishing touches on.


Goodbye!

Here are pictures of the wedding. These are just some of what we took. Jon was behind the camera most of the time, so that’s why he isn’t in many.
Here we are waiting….This is Kaitlyn running around. (above- for some reason it isn’t letting me type up there.)
Here are some of the kids running around. These are Brien’s Bro- in -laws and nieces and nephews.
This is Rob- Brien’s best man (He even named his first born after Brien), then Uncle Leonard and Aunt Glenna (my mom’s sister), Cidnee (Brien’s sister), Rob’s wife in the white top, and a brother in law to Brien.
The Bride and Groom leaving the temple. He is wearing his crown of laurels.

When I saw Brien on Sunday he was so sweet because he said “Wasn’t she so beautiful? I was crying right before she got to the temple and then I saw her enter the room and I just thought how beautiful she was.”
He was also crying during the whole sealing.

continue on the next posting…(they only let you put so many pictures up per post)

These are pictures Jon took while we were getting ready for the photographer at the temple. They’re the inside of what was going on.
This side is Brien’s family…so I don’t know any of their names
This is our side, so on the top starting from the left you have, Joy (Andrea’s ex-roommate), Zarina (she introduced Andrea and Brien), Uncle Mike, Mary (She’s due in May), My Aunt Robin, then Carolyn (sister), and Christa, (Andrea’s friend from when we lived on Nellis AFB, so anywhere from 15-20 years ago they met, you’d have to ask them). Bottom row is Howard (Bro-in-law, married to Kristi sister), Uncle Leonard, Aunt Glenna and my dad.
Now lets jump to the reception…here’s them cutting the cake.

I think Brien smashed it in her face first, then Andrea retaliated.

Andrea got cake in Brien’s eyes
I was talking when this picture was taken, but they were on their way out, so Andrea was in a rush
Them with our girls

There was a condom on the tail pipe, so when they started the car it inflated.

we’re waiting for the bride and groom

they see their car


happy family at the end of the day!

They wouldn’t let me put all my pictures on one blog, so here are the rest from Sunday.

Here on some close-ups. They were lying on Jon’s belly and legs.

Here is the family on a Sunday morning before we’ve showered.
I hope these are enough pictures to satisfy Amber. 🙂

This weekend was interesting, starting with Saturday. Lilah had been in the living room, and I vaguely remember hearing her say how pretty she was, then she came into our bedroom, and showed us how pretty she was.

She kept telling us how pretty she was since she wrote on herself. Jon and I have mixed feelings about children writing on themselves with pens. He’s okay and I’m not so okay with it. This is the type of occurrence that makes it not okay. Anyways, she’s cute, just blue.

I was able to get the girls dresses cut out. Hooray! Eden slept and Jon watched them while I did it.
Eden also had her first solid food on Saturday, rice cereal, but I have yet to give it to her again. I will today. It just adds one more thing to the routine, which will multiply by three before I know it and I will be making baby food, and feeding her all the time. I just can’t imagine having to fit feeding Eden solid foods into my day. It’s just a few minutes a day, but when you add up all the minutes it takes, you lose an hour or two a day, and I already have so much to do.

Here are some fun pictures we took on Sunday. Eden lost her sock, so Lilah was trying to put the sock back on Eden, but Eden kicks her legs to much. Lilah is still learning the art of putting on her own socks. I’m sure she could do tons more if I gave her the time to learn and didn’t rush her so often. In this picture she was trying to put Eden’s sock back on, and she kept saying “Let me put your sock back on Eden.”

I’ve finally finished the girls drapes!!! It only took me five months, but hey who’s counting. I got a good start then school started and then it seemed whenever I had down time there were either other things that needed to get done, or I wanted to relax because of all the other things I was doing. It was just tough to get going at times. But I think they look great, and they really block out the light, I have blackout fabric in them, so when summer comes I think they’ll help a lot, and right now they’ll help with the cold. Now I just have to cut out and work on our living and dinning room sets.I would also like to paint the girls room, but Jon says I would have to do it alone because there are too many other home improvement items on his lists that need to get done, painting is just a it looks better project, not it needs to be done so we can use it project. If the walls were white, I’m sure he might want to get it done sooner, but being the skin tone tan, as Andrea described them, they’re more acceptable. I just think it’s fun seeing their room take on personality, rather then just being blinds, or whatever we get to block out the light. (We used blankets and a cut up duvet cover that we bought at DI for our old place. Why make drapes if we didn’t own the home we were living in. But those are now in our living room to cut the glare out, our TV is right across from the window and we get a lot of sun though it.)

Here is a close up of the fabric. It does make you a little dizzy, but only because there is so much fabric compared to wall space. The room is 9×11 feet, and the wall with the window is 9 feet with a nearly a six foot window!

School starts next week…Yikes… I just hope I can handle it. Eden and Lilah are both needing a lot of attention. Eden is getting older and wants attention, and Lilah is noticing that, which makes her also want more attention. She doesn’t like to do as much by herself, but she will read and talk to Eden. The other day I was doing dishes and had Eden in the exersaucer, and Lilah woke up from her nap, so she read a couple books to Eden and then brought her blocks over to build. Though Eden is in a stationary object, Lilah Kept saying “They’re my blocks Eden, you can’t play with them”, or “Watch out Eden, don’t knock over my blocks.” It was just amusing.
I’ve also had a slobbering Eden. Here’s a picture of her foaming at the mouth. I think she’s getting ready to start teething, or at least push a tooth through. Plus we’ll start her on solids later this month, on the 25th, unless she starts eating too much before then.
