A New Roof and Kyren is 3 Months

Well well well, Kyren is already 3 months (aug 3rd). I know everyone says it, but I cant believe how fast they grow!! I had several women in our ward tell me to enjoy them while they were tiny babies cuz it doesnt last very long, and I remember looking at all their babies and thinking they were huge. Well its true, I do think I enjoyed it, but I am still surprised by how big they get so soon. He already holds his head up all the time by himself, and hes learning he has hands and is starting to bring things to his face to eat them. But mostly its just looking at his size, his head seems huge to me and he doesnt even look clost to what he looked like as a new born. That part is kinda cool cuz now we are seeing much more resemblance to Jordan and I. We have decided that he has my round head and ears and forehead and jordans features...such as the eyes, nose and mouth.

He spits up ALL the time, after every meal and wether he is lying down or sitting up or being played with or sleeping, some days are worse than others but he still always soaks his clothes and wears about 2-3 outfits a day because of it.

July has been pretty busy actually, Its funny cuz I havnt really been able to be a bored stay at home mom yet....maybe someday.. ;) So at the beginning of July as already mentioned we went camping for the fourth, then we went to a Carr side family reunion in Ohio which was a lot of fun, then we babysat a family for a week while they were setting up for the stake trek and participating in the trek. After that we organized and were aproved for a home equity loan so that we could fix our roof and remodel our bathroom. The roof has been leaking crazy this summer and its now all done! They just finished yesturday...I tell you what, you hire people out to do work for you and you can get spoiled real fast. It was so nice to have the roof done in 3 days and I didnt have to do any of it. Course it cost a pretty penny too. And now we can finally redo our bathroom, which for those who don't know, its an extremely sad excuse for a bathroom, the roof over the bathtub was MY height, which means Jordan has not been able to stand up in it all the way since we have lived here.....He has obviously been dreaming of redoing the bathroom for some time. So we started. We werent supposed to start until after we returned from Kyren's baby blessing in Idaho but just like Jordan he just went up there on wednesday and started tearing off the roof...so we started. The cool part is that now we have ALL the tools to do it, without having to borrow or rent, thanks to the flea market. And we got our favorite tool yesturday...an air compressor. Its a really cool one too, it only weighs 43 lbs but can run a framing nailer and is tiny. It just came out last week, its a ridgid and only cost 250. Hurray.....you know its funny I have found that I really like tools, their so useful and fun to use and make everything go so much faster. Like I just learned how to use a framing square...those things are cool.

Anyway so here are pics, in random order, for some reason when the pics download from my phone the computer jumbles them all up, so you get them jumbled....it takes to much time to organize them all.

This is the roof getting redone, the bottom of the picture shows the low bathrrom roof, the top of the picture is the normal roof over our livig room.

This was AWESOME!!! If anyone is ever bored and needs something fun to do on a saturday...build a slip-n-slide! well it could get expensive if you dont have the stuff already, pictures just dont do it justice. The black part is like 3 adult bodies long and goes at a pretty steep angle down their hill. We used shower backing from home depot that we had left over from remodeling the duplex, and our friend had the clear stuff which is to block windows before the window is put in new construction and then tarps underneath...but unless the tarp is brand new they dont feel so good to slide on.
This is insulation board....very nice stuff, that they put under the rubber whic is over metal sheeting which is over the new plywood they put down.
This is the final product of the rubber part of the roof which is garunteed to last 30+ years along with the caulking, but the cool part is that now our entire gutters work, the old roof which had 7 layers of crap shingles and metal on it overhung this gutter more than half way so we werent getting full usage.
This is Anna Merrerll, she was one of my beehives, we have babysat this family 3 times now, but his is hertrying to hit the pinnatta that we made while I was there babysitting. Isnt the fish sweet? We designed it ourselves and filled with really good candy...like twix bars and pudding cups and flavored tootsies.
These are our flowers this year infront of our house, they are impatients and I have decided they are my favorite kind of flower. They sparkle in the sun...its cool.

This is a better pic ofte slide, this clear stuff was amazingly slick you couldnt walk on it at all.
Jordan cheating and trying to feel out where it was before he swung.
This is Peter working on the pinatta, Anna and Pete are so much fun, we went bowling and Anna beat me! played games, watched movies, played fusion frenzy, along with the slip n slide and pinatta.
Teh nasty box gutters built back in 1910 that were completely rotted out. They had to rebuild that section and put hanging gutters up.
All the trash, some how this house produced amazing amounts of debree even tho it is tiny.
Finished roof, the blue part is covering our open bathroom.
The bathroom

Isnt he HUGE?!!!!

The kids loved calling Kyren the Blob, since that is what we call him all the time so they named the pinatta after him, the Blobster.....although I did ask them how that was an honor considering that you HIT and Wack the pinatta with a stick.

This was supposed to be our flourishing garden of peas and tomatoes...but the peas didnt grow at all, they did last year and the tomatoes are being picked off by our Neighbor kid! so I put flowers in like 3 weeks ago.
This is at outback steak house for my birthday

This is Kyren at 3 months!! HE is gettinsoooo big! And hes sooo cute.

He loves his bumbo chair, he loves to be part of hte action and able to look around, he has also started to master his hands and can grab things he wants and just started to put them to his mouth this week. Notice he holds his head up great. He is so adorable, hes lucky I havnt eaten him yet!!!
