April 2014 Random & Basement Completion

Daddy would give Melody her little dolly at night and she would fall asleep holding it!


These are kinda out of order, but once the basement was done we were able to put up the crib. We started out putting Melody in there for naps to see how she'd do, and she did great!


Melody discovered her tongue and had to show it off to us.



We don't have a lilac bush, but a lot of my neighbors do, so after church one day we walked home and picked some flowers on the way.  Oh how I love lilacs.


The older Xander gets, means that he doesn't get enough sleep some days, and ends up taking a nap.
I get worried because it looks like he's going to fall off the couch some times.


While running errands, Melody fell asleep holing onto her little book!
Everything that she does just makes us all swoon at her cuteness.


Even though it means that I sleep rotten, I do love being able 
to snuggle my baby in bed, just not all the time.


While trying to get Melody used to her crib, Jaina thought she would help her out by giving her as many toys as possible!  I think I have a picture like this of Mara being helped by Xander.


Karri and Jaina had an afternoon of fun that started with us going to Dairy Queen for lunch.


Then the two of them went shopping, and Jaina got a few things for her (early) birthday.


What a beautiful princess Aurora.


Xander is always making amazing Lego contraptions. 
This one is a tower crane and it really works!



April 21st was the carpet delivery day!!!!
We were so happy that the basement was done and we could move the kids around.

This is a view of Pat's new toy/display room, which means that I get my own craft room!!!


The little hallway from the toy room, looking into the laundy/storage.


Xander's new room!!!


And that night, he was all moved in and ready to go!


The next day we moved Mara over into Xander's old room. 
She was super anxious to be in her own room.


We were finally able to put up my Disney lithographs in her room.
I love how they turned out.


We just put Melody's crib up where Mara's bed had been.


And here's Pat's toy room in all it's glory.






Yay for a finished basement!!
