We still haven't gotten very much done. Ben got the kitchen unpacked last week, but everything is still pretty much crammed into our living room, like this:
Ok, I think it might be minus a couple more boxes right now. But, pretty much the same. It's hard when I've been instructed not to do anything and Ben is busy with work and side work (plus we have to play a little, right?). We will get there though. We had someone come start on the painting upstairs, so once that's done it will also be easier to get more unpacked. Hopefully it will get done soon.....One of the first things on Ben's agenda when we moved in was to get in the pool. Him and Baylee have been swimming just about every day. Baylee wakes up in the morning and begs to go. This is the first testing out of the pool by Baylee and Ben:
We are so excited to have a house that we can entertain in, so for Memorial Day we had my family come over (we know they won't mind our moving mess). We hung out and also played the Wii while Ben cooked his yummy turkey burgers for dinner (we still haven't tried out the grill though since he didn't want to clean it off). Baylee got her very own Disney Princess Wii game that we had to play before anyone came over. Look at that concentration we have going on:
I have to add in one of the funny things Baylee said last night. My brother was playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos with Baylee and after one game she said to him "Scotty, you have trash and I just kicked it!" It was pretty funny.
After eating a yummy dinner, it was time for the pool. It looked pretty calm when I first walked out....
...but not really!
The guys (and Baylee) were busy trying to get all the water out of the pool? Or at least that's what it seemed like.
Eventually the tidal waves stopped, and my sister and I got in too. We had a fun time having people use our pool with us!
I was so excited for dessert. After swimming we used our firepit and had smores! Baylee kept calling it a campout. Here's my dad, Annie, and Scott roasting their marshmellows:

They were pretty yummy! We had caramel vanilla marshmellows. Baylee loved them.
And of course, here's me and Baylee. The firepit is kinda low for me to be bending down to roast marshmellows. It was a little bit of a challenge for me. Baylee loved watching the fire.

We had such a fun Memorial Day and can't wait to have people over again!

Sweet! Dont you think it is about time you unpacked Ben. You have been there for almost 2 weeks now. haha. Anyways, we cant wait to visit! We were thinking we may visit at the beginning of august, if that is okay with you guys.
Fun place. I am so happy you guys are happy in your new home. I think Maack would be in the pool before the sun came up if we had one.
What a life guys?!! Congrats on your new beautiful home. A pool, a firepit, and a wii? You guys have got it made! Wish we lived closer so we could come hang out. Can't wait to see pics of the new litle guy. Sounds like he might come early? We eat at the Halls on Sundays as often as we can and love to get the updates on everyone. We sure miss you guys!!!
