Done with the deck

Well almost but for the most part it is done. Jason still has a little more work to do like the facing and the under stuff I can't remember what is it called but it goes around the bottom to keep things and people out from under the deck and benches around the sides. Saturday while Jason was gone I got all the chairs put together and when Jason got home I need his brain to help me put the table together the darn bolts didn't want to go in right so he got new different ones and they worked. He is so SMART I dont know what I would do without him around. That evening we enjoyed our deck and Leah enjoyed crawling around and playing.

Thats Jason's dad Kevin. He was helping by just sitting there.

Make a long story short Jason does all the work.

 

Got home from Zumba wednesday night to a almost done with the top and they finished it up by 9pm that night.

Jason finished the steps yesterday.

Oh how I love my new deck and my wonderful husband who built it.

Jason you did a great job. I love you!!!

Still needs work around the area that will come next yr with a concrete patio with firepit.

8 Months old

Leah turned 8 months old last tuesday the 22nd. I am still having problems with my laptop and so that is way I am posting late. Leah got her first tooth the day after her 8th month birthday.It is the front bottom left. I didn't notice it until she was screaming when I woke her up taking her out of the car. I was so excited I could not wait to tell Jason. I feel bad for her it looks like the one right next to it is also coming in. She does seem to be in a better mood. Well enought with the tooth. Leah favorite things to do.

             1. Get into everything.

             2. Bugging the dogs.

             3.Walk alone the coffee tables/couches

             4.Cruising

             5. Holding onto fingers and RUN!!!

             6. Happy when daddy gets home from work. (kinda brokes my heart but she does the seem when I get home from work too)

             7. Playing outside.

             8. Playing with her food

             9. Doing dishes.

            10. Hanging out with daddy (but who doesn't like to be with him)

She is still trying to stand all on her own. She can do it for a faw seconds before falling on her bottom and only from pulling herself up then letting go. I just love to watch her learn newthings everyday.

                 Happy belate 8th month birthday Lil Girl!!!

               Mommy and Daddy Love you very much.

New Deck

Jason has been working hard on our new back deck for the last week but this weather we have been having is not helping. Saturday Jason and his dad Kevin got the post set and Sunday fathers day they started the framing. It is turing out to look good and bigger much bigger then the old new. I can't wait for it to be done and summer to start being summer so we can sit out back and enjoy our new deck and BBQing.

They used our pop-up tent to try and stay out of the pouring rain Sunday afternoon.

Ready Set Walk

So Leah has been trying to free stand from the setting position for about a week now and just this morning as I was getting her breakfast ready she was hanging onto my leg and then let go and was standing there for about a minute before grabbing my leg again. So I am not sure what the steps are before she is walking full on but I am sure she will be walking here soon. Part of me is ready for her to walk and there is that other part that really doesn't want her to start because she is growing up to fast. Time please please please slow down I am not ready to have a one year old in 4 months.

I just got this so its not that great. but that is as far as she has gotten from the sitting positions to standing with out pulling herself to stand.

Lincoln City Oregon

Saturday Leah and I left early in the morning with my family to go to my cousin baby shower. It was a very long ride and Leah was a good girl the whole trip I was not sure how she would do with being in her carseat that long since she has never been in the car for 6 hrs before. She only slept an hour in the morning. So I thought for sure she would sleep when we got there but nope she didn't want to. The weather was nice so we helped set up before heading to the beach. Leah loved to watch the waves and play with the sand.

On our way back to the house Leah finilly fell asleep. Over all it was a good get away.

We both missed Jason and sad he didn't come but someone had to take care of our farm.

New Blogspot!

So I want to share with everyone the new and exciting recipes I have been making for Leah. So I started a new blog spot just for sharing baby food recipes. I show pics, tell how I made it step by step and what you will need for that recipe. Hope you all check it out and see whats new.

Found you!!!!

Leah has found where the dogs go to get away from her. Jenn is NOT a fan of Leah in her house.

I tried to get a pic of Leah in there with Jenn but Jenn was out of there before I could get the camera.

And now that Leah is everywhere Jenn really doesn't seem to like it.

She also has found her way to the back door. If we had our deck we would spend more time outside.

I hope it gets done before summer is over. Keeping my fingers crossed.
