What I've been up to.....

So as some of you know, Aubrielle and Benson have been on vacation in Spokane without us for the past two weeks (yes, I do have THE GREATEST in-laws and parents in the world!) So I'm sure you've been wondering what the heck I've been up to with just Jaycie.
So, here it is:
#1: What I'm always doing.......

Taking a million pictures of my little Jaycie (who is 8 months now!) and enjoying her. She has really enjoyed being the center of all our attention these past two weeks. The day we got home from Utah and she realized she had ALL our attention she seriously just started hamming it up. Even friends from church have commented on the change. I'm not really sure what she's going to do when the others get back.

#2: Helping Camron assemble his Father's Day present
Don't be decieved by the smile on his face....this is HARD work. The hardest part you ask? Reading the instruction manual. Don't believe me.....here is an example:
Enter and wood screw lock with rubber grommet hole till not too tighten state of affairs is the best efficacy of prevent quake.
I still have yet to determine what that one meant....
I must say though, this has been a dream of Camron's for about 5 years now, so seeing it all come together is so exciting. I think he's hoping we'll finish the assembly on it tonight or tomorrow. The only downside is, the remote control he bought on Ebay got shipped to our old address in Idaho. As Benson would say, "Bummer Dude." So looks like we won't be flying this bad boy until we recover the goods (which shouldn't be too bad since Camron's brother lives close by and can go get it and re-ship it to our correct address).

#3: Baking delicious desserts
Camron thought these had gone out the door with baby #3, but low and behold, to his joy, I still now how to make them (I could just never find the time)!


#4: Waiting, and waiting and waiting....

Yes, that's right, my furniture has been stacked in the kitchen awaiting the carpet cleaners since Monday night. And guess what? It's Friday afternoon and they are just now cleaning it. Let's just say it's been a LONG week. Especially since I can't open the oven or the dishwasher due to the entertainment center that is stacked in front of them. (When I put it there I was under the assumption it would be there one night!)

However, I'm sure my neighbors who unexpectedly got their carpets cleaned on Wednesday afternoon when he cleaned the wrong aparment are sure happy, so I guess I can take joy in that. (And now I can rejoice that my carpets are finally clean, and I've had a great excuse to not cook for the past week!)

Alright, well I better peace out now. If anyone actually read that whole thing, props to you. I better get back to life now that my carpets are clean and I can begin that long list of things I wanted to get done while the kids were out of town (but couldn't do due to my furniture being turned inside out).

What a treat to have your 2 oldest gone. I bet it feels funny having only 1 kid to care for. And it sounds like Jaycie is loving all the attention! Your dessert looks so good. What is it? I can't believe you had to wait that long to get your carpets cleaned. It would be really hard to live normally with all the furniture stacked!

You do have the best in-laws and parents. You are good to survive a week of your furniture being that way, it would drive me crazy! What a fun Father's Day present too.

Sounds like a great "staycation." I bet it is surprising how much you can get done with only Jaycie around. Is the summer so hot right now? When does Aubrielle start escuela? And what exactly are you assembling? That part was also unclear. But I can't believe Jaycie is 8 months - wow. Time for another one! :) Huge JK.

Lucky girl having your two oldest on "vacation". That would be AWESOME!!! (oops, did I say that outloud?)
And seeing that picture of that cake made my mouth water. Remember how much I LOVED it. I still havn't been able to find the pan to make that in. Do you have any suggestions as to where I could get a couple?

Looks like you have been busy even with just one kid. You forget how quiet it can be!
