Sorry!

The Powell cousins!
First cereal meal!!
Ready to move!
Breaking into my eyeliner
Squeeze!!!

Yes, I know it has been a long time since the last time I posted, but I guess it has been pretty crazy around here. Not sure if anyone checks on this anymore since I've been absent for so long. I've got to get better!!! Anyway, update on Ella...she is still a pottying champ. She really has taken off and now will tell us when she needs to go instead of me rushing her to the bathroom when I think of it. She is successful with sleeping and not wetting the bed, so I think we're good!!! She has however regressed in age. It seems that she would like to be the baby again as I have now caught her numerous times in Hayden's crib, sucking his paci. UGH!!! That is her favorite place at the moment and I have no control over it. I have disciplined every way I know how, she cries and then attempts again when I'm not looking. She actually climbed in while Hayden was napping the other day. This did not put me in a good mood. Above is a picture of the kiddos with their cousins Luke and Kate. Just had to throw a picture in of them since they are soooooo precious together. Luke absolutely cracks us up with his story telling. Very animated!! Love you Lukers.
Hayden is quite the mover and shaker these days. He is ready to crawl. Yes, I know he is only 5 months old, but he is following in his big sister's footsteps. It freaks me out to have two mobile, but we'll make it. He is constantly on his hands and knees rocking back and forth and has now managed to figure out what to do with his back half, not his front so we do a lot of face plants. I'm sure it will be any day now.

In other news, I held true to my post back this spring and our house is officially on the market!! We have completed our projects and ready to sell. Now that I have redone the kitchen, bathroom, walls, floors, hinges, and replaced roofs, water wells and pool motors, I'M DONE!!!!!!!! No more projects!!! We're not sure where we're going to end up, but we are sold on a newer home. It will just take time. We're not in a huge rush, but seeing how I just placed the sign out yesterday and I'm showing the house twice today, I'm hoping it will go fast. I think this needs to be fast because I don't know how to keep everything pretty with two kiddos tearing it apart every time I turn around. Anyway, I'll keep you fellow bloggers updated. Until the next post, which is hopefully soon than later, Adios!

I've missed your updates and have been checking for one daily:)

Love the pictures. It's amazing to me how much your kiddos look alike and their cousins look alike. You can definitely tell that Luke and Kate are Powells. I think Hayden and Ella favor you.

This is random, but I'd love to see pictures of your kitchen. I think last time I was there (over a year ago...crazy!), you guys were starting to refinish the cabinets. Just curious what you ended up doing to them.

Sorry this turned into an email! Just glad to hear from you!!
