The nightmare bathroom...

This is our nightmare basement shower. I ripped out the old prefab corner shower before I was pregnant with Aurora. Then I ripped out all the moldy and yucky surround sheet rock etc. So my poor brother had no shower the entire year I was down with Aurora, then he left on a mission and now we are finishing it lol. Sad. Anyway here is a pic after all is ripped out and we started re-building.
The trap here comes out of the wall instead of the floor due to our genius previous owner who remodeled the basement ugh and in order to do it the "right" way it cost a ton of money and diggin into the foundation - no please ....

This is all the garbage from ripping everything out... yuck.

This is the new floor frame I built around the drain, I added a bunch of floor space,

and prayed it would be what we needed.I decided it would be fun to have it be a rain shower, so I had the plumber come in and rout stuff where it needed to be for that to work.

Then I poured the floor, that was a fun job 7 months pregnant lol. After this it became a huge family job... Doug and Janae came to help us with the sheet rock a bunch of times, and poor doug suffered some battle wounds... we are so thankful they came to help though.

My brother and Dustin both worked endless hours to get it all framed in... it was crazy and I wasnt much help at all being as prego as I was.

This is the floor tile we chose, I think it really looks great with the wall tile we chose

We had someone come in to start tiling last week after I did the floor.. . It is looking great and we are really excited.
I will post final pics later tomorrow if I can, he has been working hard and this was a rough job...lots of small cuts and crazy angles. I am going to tile the floor when he is done then we just need to paint! yay. Only took us a year or so lol.

Cute baby Rora, I had to put these on because I just thing they are so cute.

This pictures is her personality all the way. This is Aurora, she is sweet and happy almost all the time. She is our social butterfly and is so fun to have around. She loves Orion and things he is the coolest thing since sliced bread, its fun to watch their relationship bloom.

Oh silly things we do...

So I thought I would blog about my sprained wrist. A few weeks ago I was getting tile for our bathroom downstairs, and as I was lifting the big box out to put on the cart I kinda lost my grip and then grabbed it again, hearing something pop in the process. This was bad and I felt the pain right then, I came home and took some pain stuff, and then proceeded to complain to Dustin about how bad it hurt. It was driving me crazy the next day so I went in to make sure it wasnt broken, I was having the hardest time lifting the baby etc. It turned out to just be a really bad sprain and "significant ligament damage" according to our Dr. So I had to wear this great contraption the next two weeks, however, by the time we got to St. George I was determined to golf so, yes, I took it off to play lol. It didnt hurt too bad till later that night lol. Now I am pretty much back to normal, I feel a twinge every now and again, but its feeling pretty good.

We love jump on it

We love St. George...

As always Ori loved playing in the water at Gammy and Grandpa's house. Aurora started using her walker, and Dustin and I got to rest and Golf! It was a great week and we hope to go back soon.

We had so much fun with you both! thanks for having us, we love you both so much.

5 months!

Well our sweet little girl is now 5 months old. We went to the Dr. today for her 4 month apt and shots etc. She is growing and looking great - just like Ori she is small but growing just as she should! She was so good I was so amazed. I usually dread taking them to get shots - well I always dread taking them for that - but she was so good, just after she had them she cried for like 30 seconds literally. Then I was holding and cuddling her and she stopped! Ori used to carry on for 30 min or so it hurt him so bad. She is so much different in personality then he. So smiley, she was smiling through her tears today just after the shots. So cute.
Age: 5 months

She is a beautiful girl and blessing in our lives. She is so happy and full of light, we love you little Rora.

sad day...

so tonight Orion wanted to sleep in his big boy bed again (we are averaging every other day or so) and he had me come in (normally we cuddle till he falls asleep) tonight he had me sit at the end of the bed. He wanted me there but didnt want me to lay down with him, he wanted to do it himself. (sigh) I love that he is growing up into such an independent self sufficient boy. Some days I think he could raise himself lol, he is so grown up all the time, he takes care of Aurora all the time, if she spits up and I haven't noticed he runs and gets a rag and wipes her face for me. This is just one example of what a little "man" he is turning into. However, I do miss how much he used to need/want me there all the time. When he first started sleeping in his own bed I was like, "oh I miss my baby", granted I have another baby to cuddle with and a husband who I miss cuddling with every night lol but I will miss my little boy. I know this is cliche but they grow up so fast! I cant believe the changes he has made just since Aurora was born. He is a great boy and I felt/feel so blessed tonight as I watched him sleeping and now as I write this post. Sometimes I wish time would stop... I guess we all should take a little more time to enjoy all these little moments. I know I just run run run and I want to remember this time with them, but for now my little two year old boy put himself to sleep in his own bed.

No words needed ;)

Growing up -

I cant believe how old Orion looks in these pictures with his hair done. We decided to try to do his hair differently today - I dont normally do it really because he is all over the place and its pointless but I thought it would be fun today. I am usually ok for a couple of hours if I do it just before we leave the house lol. He looked so cute, I had to take some pics.

Though he is growing - his love for driving cars on the couch is still there. I dont know if that will ever change, I think it will always be a fond memory for us about him.
