Happy 10 months, Kaylee!

Kaylee is getting big! She is getting the last one of her top 4 teeth in (giving her 6 teeth now). She has been fussy through this, but once this tooth breaks, I imagine it will be much better for her. She is the most adorable and precious little girl ever and I can't imagine our lives without her! She is so unpredictable, adventurous, and loving!

Well, it has officially been 3 weeks since Clay has been scheduled for anything other than watch! I know he is trying to enjoy his time off, but you can tell he is getting antsy. This is what Prowlerland is like! Growler guys are coming in with a force (at least hour days) and Prowler guys are just sitting on their butts doing nothing! It's just crazy to me. It is great to have Clay home though, so you get no complaints from me...only from Clay.

We haven't done much more with the house. Clay did change out the light fixture above the sink. We're looking for ceiling fans as we want to change out the fan in the living room. There is a fan in the office, but I think we're taking it down and putting up a regular light. This is stuff we are waiting on though...everything costs so much money. We have learned that things will come in time, but we have to give it time. This is something that I am not very good at!

I ran the half marathon last Sunday! It was an adventure. I truly did love it. I really hope to keep at it and run another one.

That's all that is going on here. I just wanted to post and say Happy 10 month birthday to my beautiful little girl!

Yay for today!

Today is the day I pick Kim and Siobhan up from the airport! I have already texted Kim and she is scheduled to depart Birmingham, AL in just half an hour! Siobhan will not leave Fresno, CA until after work....so we have a little while to wait for her, but the flight isn't nearly as long. I can not wait to see them!

Flooring

Well.....after a VERY long 3 days, Clay and I are FINALLY finished with the kitchen and dining room floors. We worked on the kitchen late into the night on Monday and then worked all day on the dining room on Tuesday. After completing the entire floor, we realized it was really squeaky and very bouncy. I called my step-dad at that point to figure out what the heck was up with the floor. When laying the dining room, we left the carpet underlay on the floor and then put the laminate ontop of that. My step-dad said that it actually needed to come up or the laminate would start to slide apart and break and come up. Sooooo...as much as it sucked, we pulled apart the laminate floor in the dining room and then pulled up the carpet underlay and the carpet tracks. This part REALLY SUCKED. At that point, we realized the kitchen flooring was about 1/2 inch higher than the dining room flooring, so Clay went and got plywood and cut it up into pieces to try to bring it even. Clay started laying the floor while I was on my run this morning and when I came back I realized that the floor still was uneven (even after he put in the plywood). So, he took it apart and then put leveler down to try to level the spot that transitioned into the kitchen and the dining room. That had to dry FOREVER, so we went to the park and let Kaylee parade in the grass and play on the swing. Once the leveler was dry, Clay started laying down the floor again. After all that, the floor is finally laid down. It looks so much better than the carpet/blue and white linoleum combination that was there before. For those looking to redo their flooring with laminate, it isn't easy but the results are beautiful. Clay and I redid both of our bathroom flooring and that was immensely easy....laminate flooring is definitely tougher.
