Video Tour

I thought I would take a minute to show off our new flooring that we recently had done. We really like. For those who have visited us the tour will not come as a shock. But for those who have not been here, here is your chance to see the place (even though some rooms are messy).

The tour starts off in the living room/dining room area. We then proceed down the hallway with the kitchen on the left and going past the extra bathroom. Next is the master bedroom (which is quite crowded with furniture because we just don't have a lot of room). Finally is Logan and Ashley's bedroom.

Most of our construction work is done, we are just waiting for our vinyl flooring to arrive. All of our construction work started last Monday with the master bathtub being replaced. The faucet was starting to leak and the drain was corroding. On Wednesday they finished up the tub and started ripping out the carpet and replacing it with Pergo laminate flooring. The flooring was finished up on Friday. Finally on Monday they tore down the fence outside and built us a new one (since the association said it was our problem and not theirs even though we asked before buying). Now we should have all of our projects complete (before we move again next year).

Happy 1st Birthday Ashley!

I am still trying to adjust to the fact that my little Ashley is one. She has grown so much since the last post. Ashley started walking solo on Febuary 27, at just a little over 10 months old ( 3 weeks sooner than Logan did). She loves to wander around the house and explore where ever she is. Tim and I keep saying that we need to put a bell on her so that we know where she is because she keeps walking up behind us and we keep bumping into her. She has started to become more playful lately. I will tell her that we are going to change her diaper and she follows me into the room but goes on the opposite side so I have to come pick her up. Then she just laughs and smiles as I carry her to the changing table. Another game that she likes to play is pick up a toy and put it in a bucket, box or toss it over the gate into the kitchen.

As Ashley is getting bigger, I find myself comparing her to Logan. Here are the 1 year stats between the two of them.

Logan at 1 year weighed 20.25 lbs and was 29.5 inches long.

Ashley at 1 year weighs 18.63 lbs and is 30.12 inches long.

I was not surprised by Ashley's weight but I was surprised by how tall she is. I guess when I see her next to Logan I just think of her as being little. She is going to be one tall girl if she keeps this up.

For the most part Ashley had a good birthday. She opened a few presents and cards. I don't think she was a fan of her birthday cake. I made her a white funfetti cake (mainly because we didn't have any chocolate frosting to go with the chocolate cake in the cupboard). She ate a little bit of the cake but mostly played with it. I think if I would have made her the chocolate cake she would have gobbled it up because she really liked it when I shared my brownies with her a few weeks ago. So I guess I will be the only one in my family to like white cake. Oh well more for me.
