Josh's house

Well we have been here for about a month now. Things are going pretty well, both Katie and I have been busy with our own things to really notice that we live together. The kids sure have noticed, they play all day and well into the night.
We have lots to do still at the house in magna but it is coming along slowly.
Today is Halloween and we are all very excited... well maybe Adam could be a little more excited but besides him we are all dressing up.
Jan- Professor Umbrigde
Lucy- Little Mermaid (dancing mermaid, if you ask her)
Ed- A Jedi, he really likes the light saber.
Hope everyone has a great Halloween and I look forward to seeing pictures of everyone.

Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs are awful little bugs that should bee wiped of the face of the Earth. They are a lot like Mosquitoes but they can;t fly or even jump very far, they live near were you sleep and they suck your blood, their bits make it look like you have a rash of some kind. They live in wood all around your bed or in your box spring. They are reddish- brownish in color, flat and roundish. they can fit in the tiniest crack in wood and under the floor boards, they can even fit into the screw holes with screws in them. Be aware of them they can lay five eggs a day and the eggs hatch every week. your infestation can grow fast. If your not careful it can spread fast beyond your bed to your dressers and other rooms.
How to avoid bed bugs, be careful when selecting a used bed and where it came from.
How to get rid of them call an exterminator and buy a heat gun anything over 110 degrees far. will kill them and hold the gun up to any wood in the room for about 5 to 10 seconds and that will be enough to get rid of most of them. Put all your bedding and clothes in the dryer for about 20 min. to kill any chances that they layed eggs in them or if they are living in your dressers. Check bathroom walls as well.
Check your mattress they will be on the outside of it they like hard surfaces so I found them on the outside seem of the underside of the mattress, but they live and breed on wood.
The good thing about them is that the don't carry any parasites, so you won't get sick. But man they are a pain and if you don't like bugs you'll hate these.
Good luck I hope my knowledge has helped some one else.

potty and moving

I feel so excited, Lucy is using the potty so good we are still working on the pooping aspect of it but so far it is good, she has also discovered she really likes bubble baths and asks for one every time she remembers about them.
I am moving everything basically myself but not only do I have to do our house we also get to move Josh and Katie's stuff back upstairs, it's a little frustrating but not to bad I guess at least I don't have to go through all of it I just have to get it up stairs.
But moving so far is going well, we got rid of both pianos already and our trailer, we also have most of our clothing and a good majority of my the toys and my craft room over at their house already within the last week.
I'm taking a small break to work on Eddie's blanket for his birthday and costumes for Halloween.
But Monday I'll start on moving again and this Friday and Saturday we'll finish Josh's basement hopefully.
Hope you enjoyed our update

moving

Well for good or bad we are moving to Josh's house. We are going to rent out our house for a year and try to get back on our feet.
Becka don't worry about the money for the cabs, it's already done with, we are going to try to sell them to a music pawn shop to get something for them.
We are alos having a yard sell if anyone wants to join with us, just let me know.
We are moving in Oct and fixing up the house, and hopefully find someone to rent to in Oct. for Nov. But we'll see what happens.

potty time

Lucy just went potty... Lucy just went potty. Yes we are dancing, she actually came to tell me that she needed to go. I've been working on this this past weekend well for months but with a new attitude this weekend I told her no more diapers and she seemed to like that so now we are in big girl panties with accidents but hopefully its going to be good now. yay
I feel like I should say something about Ed.... well he'll be two in Oct. isn't that scary I think, yes. He's already too much of a destroyer that I can't imagine him getting worse, but he's getting so big I think he can out weigh Lucy and Andrew together.
That's about all feel free to celebrate our potty success.

nothing new

Everything is basically the same, I'm taking a small brake from writing and I
m reading Candy shop wars. So far it's pretty good.
I've placed a few holds on potty training at the library.
right now I'm waiting for KSL.com yo send me an email to confirm my account so I can resell the big sunn speakers.
till I can sell those I think I'm slowly going crazy. lol
nice to see all the pictures Becka, Lucy loved the animals.

Things

So I forgot to mention some things.
first Lucy started preschool last Thursday the 21 but I couldn't get the picture of the camera so I'll try again.
second I'm crazy jealous of Candie's book even if it's a first draft Becka you rock
Third I don't know who knows this but I'm writing a book too, it's way fun and I'm half way done with my first draft. I'm hoping to have the rest done soon so I can go through it and hopefully make it awesome.
thanks for your time

finished project

here are the photo's all done we just got the picnic table yesterday from my brother Mark. thanks Mark

project.

We have almost finished our project outside, a brick porch with a canape eddy helped daddy when ever he got the chance. this is the before pictures

Big steps

Big steps at our house.
Ed has moved into a toddler bed yesterday. YAAAA, we did have one fall out about four a.m. but after an hour with mom and a little help from some med's he was back in his own bed by five.
Lucy has new bed and for the first time in months has gone to sleep before twelve mid- night and has slept in her own bed through the whole night.
And lastly due to the thought of ed keeping Adam up and giving him a migraine, he went and slept on the futon in the spare bed room so I got the whole king size bed to myself from five A.M. till about eight thirty. It was wonderful.
We also hopefully have gotten rid of the bed bugs that came with the old mattress that we got for Lucy's first bed but now that has been removed and the room has been decontaminated and we were lucky enough to get a my old bed set back from my brother Mark. YAAAA.
