Home Sweet Home

Seth has been the absolute greatest husband in the world! After all, he is building us the home of our dreams. Every time I go visit the ranch, more and more has been done on the house. It seems like we go shopping every week or so for more stuff for the house. It is amazing what he has accomplished and I am so happy and proud of him! Bailey and I are sure lucky to have him in our lives!

He finished the roof a few weeks ago. It seemed like that was a big hold up for a long time. We had to special order our shingles, because I was picky and wanted the pretty blue ones! They finally came in and then we decided we wanted to have a baby and all the fun stuff that goes with that adventure. Seth took off a couple weeks and stayed in town with us. It seemed like after he went back to work, every day had the worst weather. It was either stormy or so windy that it was scary to be up on the roof. That is Wyoming for you, I suppose. He finally finished it and the blue shingles look perfect on our log cabin! They are so beautiful and exactly what we imagined!

We are lucky enough to have so many people willing to help on the house. My three little brothers come out to help as often as they can between school and sports. Soon it will be summer and they will be out there more to help Seth with whatever little jobs he has, as well as to learn a lot of what Seth is doing. It is great having them out there. We also have Seth's dad helping almost every day he can! Not only is he helping build the house but he has been awesome in taking care of Seth's cows during calving so Seth can focus on his family and the house. He also has been a great help with the electrical part of the house since Seth doesn't know as much about that. Between Cody and Raimee, who is home for a few months, they are getting the lights and plug ins whipped out left and right! Our family, on both sides, has been so supportive and helpful and we can never thank them enough for all they do to help support our dreams!

On another note, the comment we get the most often when people see Bailey is that she has grown so much. She is growing like a little weed! She had her two month appointment last week and had to get three shots. It was a miserable day for her, and for me! She is now 24" long and in the 95th percentile for her height, and 12lbs 4 oz and in the 75th percentile for her weight. Between her chubby little belly and her round puffy cheeks, it doesn't surprise me that she is gaining so much weight. She eats very well, to say the least. We love having her around and seeing her grow and learn has been amazing.

She rolled over a few weeks ago! I don't really want to admit that she did because she waited until I walked out of the room to do it. I came back in and she was on her back and laughing. No matter how hard I cheered her on, she hasn't rolled over since. We will keep trying!
