We love snuggies in our house, but nothing melts this Mamma's heart more then when Adelaide rubs my face with her little hand. She is the only one I don't mind touching my face!

So at the end of the pregnancy I figured out my cravings, they were yogurt and sugar cones.
I had 12 of these in one night "NO SHAME."
Ok maybe a little!

I like taking pictures of wear I put things in my house so I don't have to take a lot of time the next year when I put it back up or so I can see somethings I might want to change the next time.
I get this from my Momma!
Just call us CRAZY!!!
We don't mind!

To make changes for our living arrangement, we took our bed out of the upstairs and put a Couch Bed downstairs for the last year of school.
So far it's working out great!!
I was trying to make up my mind on wheither it was going to be white or gray.
We went with gray.

So we went to Baby Ella's Blessing and we had all the kids sitting by each other (not a good idea), and the only thing to keep them quiet was to give them stickers.
So a sticker for everyone, baby Ella and baby Arilla on Mom's tummy, plus after church apparel is the best in my house... underwear and socks, I think I have a lot of years of this! lol!!

So I couldn't take the downstairs closet any longer.
I'm not sure if it was me being pregnant and couldn't hardly fit in there anymore that made me decide I need to change this, but it didn't take me long to rip things out of there and make something happen. Chris usually comes home to a unexpected project that he is bugged about it at first then likes it when we're all done.
This project was liberating.
This space in our house is our pantry, office,
storage and anything else.
It's very narrow and long so it makes it a little challenging.
After searching for hours on Pinterest for small space organizing, I ignored it all and I did what was best for our small space.
Some days I think I should rename our family blog to "A NYC apartment in St.George UTAH" cause a lot of time I research apartments in New York to see how they organize their space since my apartment is 600 square feet.
But here is my before and afters.
I wish I would have done this along time ago.

So a lot of family came in for my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary.
After the party was over we decided it shouldn't stop there, so we stayed out until 3 in the morning writing on cars and what was suppose to be a toilet paper party ended up just writing on the cars.
I think that's what happens when your an adult trying to do a teen thing your conscious playes games on you.
Darn... We all had good intention to toilet paper someone really good.
Did I mention my cute hubby stayed home with the kids so I could go play like a teen with my awesome cousins.
P.S. I was 8 months prego while doing this shenanigan!
Cecelia, Lincoln, Kelsey, Stephen and myself that's everyone that came.

So as I went to the bathroom she snapped a picture.^^^

so from then on he would ask if she kicked after every question.^^^

^^^This little girl thought she needed to go potty everytime anyone else got done with the bathroom.
I really thought she might potty train herself. She was telling us everytime before she went and would hold it until we got the stool out and pulled her diaper off and sat her up on the toilet.
She would hold it the whole time.
But we didn't push it cause of the baby coming. I didn't want her to revert back after the baby was born.
So potty training will come later on in the Fall after the baby is born.^^^
