Greeley

Well, we took Kasey to the doctor on Friday. She weighed in at 13 lbs, 2.5 oz! Her weight and length were in the 40th percentile. Now her HEAD on the other hand, was in the 75th percentile. The kid's got a big head!! Other than that, things went great. She does have some torticollis just like her sister did. So, she is going to have to do some PT, but no biggie!

She turned 4 months old on Saturday. Which was 8/8. Which was also exactly a year ago that I found out I was pregnant! In Las Vegas! My how time flies!

She is allowed to start "solid" food now. So this morning I gave her some cereal. Her facial expressions were quite entertaining! It is going to take her a while to get used to this!

We also took Courtney to the dentist on Friday. A pediatric dentist to be exact. She slipped and fell face first at my parents house a few weeks ago, and hit her two front teeth pretty hard. They did bleed around them, and now they are starting to change color. They may be dead or they may be bruised. We won't know for sure for about another 6 weeks. Which is when we have to go back to the dentist's office. She may end up losing those teeth. The good news is that they are baby teeth. But her adult teeth won't grow in until she is about 6-7. We will see what the next few weeks holds...

I went to Greeley this weekend to help my sister and Zak do some things in their new house. I left on Friday during nap time. It took me just over 2 hours to get there. What a great house they got! They replaced almost all the flooring on the main level and the stairs to the basement. The carpet in the basement is nice and seems new so no need to replace it. They will probably borrow my carpet cleaner to give it a once over cleaning though.

Friday night after I got there, we went to dinner and did a lot of chatting and catching up. We got nothing accomplished in the house that night. But we started the next morning and we got a lot accomplished over the weekend. We painted and weeded, and did lots of other little things. My mom painted the laundry room while Susan and I painted the master bathroom. My mom and I also both covered this large red square on the living room wall. We all painted the kitchen together. There is still a lot of work to be done to get the house how they want it, but they have a GREAT start!

My mom also took me to a great garden store near their house. They have some of the neatest stuff I have seen! I may end up making a trip there every time I go to visit Susan!

Saturday night we had 3 HUGE thunderstorms hit. My room was in the basement, so thankfully it didn't keep me up too much. Zak tried to take some pictures of the lighting. I hope he got some.

The previous owner of the home watered WAY to much, so everything in their yard is a little moist. Their window wells are so moist that in 2 of them, they have toads living in them! They are so cute. At night they would come up to the window and look in. Adorable little guys. The 3rd window well had standing water, and Susan and Zak had to buy a pump to pump it out.

So, it was difficult but I headed out after an early dinner Sunday evening. So did my mom. She ended up spending a total of 10 days up there helping them out. I really am looking forward to going up there for another visit soon!

Hubby spent the weekend home with the girls. He had lots of visitors. Friday night Rick came over, as did our cadet Toby and his girlfriend Maddie. Saturday night our other cadet Scott came over. Apparently he had a great weekend with the girls! Kasey even slept really well for him (of course).

Well, Kasey is sleeping, I need to go and try to get some stuff done before I go and get Courtney!
