It's time

I got a weird commenter from India so it's time to go private.  Please put your email in the comments.  Don't worry, I have changed my comment moderation so that your email won't be there for everyone to see.

The government wins again...Dang it!!!

So as you probably know by now Reese and I have sold our house and are in the process of moving to Richmond.  Yay!  So today I have been calling and filling out forms to get our address, utilites, and other amenities switched over to our next place.  

I stopped into the post office today to get a change of address form but they don't have them anymore.  Instead, they have "Official Change of Address Instructions" (yeah, sounds REAL official).  The instructions tell you to go online and enter all of your old an new address information.  Then once you have it all filled out you hit "continue," which takes you to the "Identity Verification" page, which says 

"For your security, please verify your identity using a credit card or debit card. We'll need to charge your card $1.00."

Don't you just love how they slip that in $1.00 charged to change your address for "verification" purposes.  What a load of crap!  Can't I just show you my ID when I drop off my change of address card?  I know it is only $1 but still!!!  It just really ticks me off.

The Mystery is Now Solved!

Reese and I have been plagued with a mystery for the past couple of days.  We will leave the room for a minute or two with Jaylee laying on her back and when we come back, she is on her stomach.  So,we weren't sure if she was rolling from her back to her tummy by herself ALREADY or if her sometimes too helpful older brother was rolling her over.
We have asked Mason if he rolls her over.  He says "No" but usually it is accompanied by a wide grin.  So we weren't sure if it was him or not.

Well, Reese has solved the mystery TODAY!  After church while I was at a meeting, Reese witnessed the event.

She rolls over by herself!!
Watch the videos...
And while I was typing up this entry, she did it again!  I am going to have a mover on my hands.  Re-baby proofing the house is going to happen sooner than I expected!

What worries me even more is that she pulls her knees under her while she is on her belly like she is about to crawl.  Ahh!

Did I Mention That We are Moving?

Jaylee turned 4 months back on the 8th of March.  She is smiling more and more everyday and she is also starting to jabber a little bit too. She also likes to spit and blow bubbles lately.
Here are her stats:
Weight:  14 lbs. 7.5 oz   75%
Height:  24 1/4 inches   70%
She sleeps from 9:00pm to 8:00 am!  11 hours Boo-yeah!
She enjoys her rice cereal but not the multivitamin that she has to take.  She also LOVES to be sitting or standing.  She has great control of her hands.  She grabs and holds toys like a champ!
We just love her!

Mason builds a house that he and Jaylee can play in.  It is a combination of Jaylee's play mat and Mason's blankets.  Above is the outside view and below is what it looks like inside.
They really like it in there.  It's nice that they are already such great friends even though Jaylee is still so young.
Mason and I make smoothies almost every day.  Usually we are dressed and not in our pjs but we took this picture in our PJs especially for you bloggers out there. ;)  And yes, I do realize that Mason is in Christmas PJs...he loves them, they fit, and who wouldn't want to celebrate Christmas all year long anyway.
This picture of Mason and Reese was taken at our new park.  No, there wasn't a new park put up near our house.  We are actually moving to Richmond.  This awesomely-huge, made-for-adults swing set is at the park near where we are moving to and I'm sure we will be there almost everyday this summer.
Reese and I are in a picture together once every 3 months it seems like.  So here is the picture of us this quarter.

We are excited and sad to be moving.  We have come to really love our ward and neighbors.  We've really enjoyed fixing up our house and ALWAYS having Saturday projects that need to be done, but that's being a homeowner!  It is really fun and thrilling to start building a house and have the chance to make new friends.

Just remember that we are only moving about 20 minutes North so don't hesitate to call and we'll get together.

We pay about $3.00 to play in soft play but they just sit and watch the rollerbladers!
