My mom and Scotty left Tuesday and we are missing them. Here's a little of what they did... clean, take care of Mac, paint, organize, cook, laundry, bathe Mac and Gray, plant a garden, grocery shop, decorate, stay up with Gray until late hours of the night so I could sleep, and Scott even woke up with Mac (the list can go on and on). But the thing I'm missing most is just having them here, it was so fun to have them all to ourselves for eight days. Thanks for everything you two did we couldn't have had a baby and moved into a new house all the same week if it wasn't for you two!
A special thanks to Drew. He has been amazing as well. Monday before my Mom and Scott came and I was in the hospital he and some ward members(we have the best ward) moved us in. He has been working nonstop trying to get things put together. Love you!
Here's some pictures of the past week....
There's a pond down the street from our house. Mac loved feeding the ducks.
Best buds. Mac walked around the house saying Scott, Scott all day. It was fun to hear him say it the first time but I'm sure Scotty got so sick of it.
Mac loved Scott pushing him on the swing everyday. The higher the better.
Gray's first bath. He was not a fan.
Gray is getting so chubby. I think he's starting to look a little more like Mac.
Mac is obsessed with gas (farts and burps). Scotty was pretending to burp and Mac could not stop giggling. Boys will be boys.
The owners before us painted one of the rooms black. So naturally it was the first room we repainted. When I say "we" I mean I watched while Scott and Drew painted. Mac thought he was a huge help. The color looks gross here but after three coats it turned out great.
Pictures of the house...
We have not got everything where it needs to be in the family room but you can get the point. We are still repainting the bedrooms so more pictures will come as we finish the rooms.
The outside of the house. If you look closely at the door you can see Mac screaming. Something he did a lot yesterday. He's really missing Grandma and Scott. Also notice the flower pots on the porch. My mom insisted on having them, she said it makes the house look happy! Love you mom!

I can't even imagine doing all that without having my mom around. I am so glad she got to come out and help you that must have been so wonderful. And I so agree potted flowers do make a house look happy. My mom always tells me the same thing, gotta love moms. I can't wait to see more pictures of your house it's gorgeous.

Love the house Ash! It is beautiful. I agree with Karrissa--you are real people now.
I can see Gray's resemblance to Mac in the pictures only with dark, dark hair. Did Mac have that dark of hair when he was first born?
