OK...it's been awhile since I last posted (as has been kindly pointed out by a few of my favorite individuals), so here is a quick update.
My sister Trish called me awhile back with a super fun plan to surprise my niece, Amber, for her b-day! So Trish secretly flew into Boise where I picked her up and drove to Twin Falls to pick up my sister, Colette. Then we drove to Rexburg to see Amber, who did not know her mom would be there. Does this make any sense? It was SOSOSOSOSO fun! My kids loved it and I loved being with my sisters and my niece and it was just a blast. Let's do it again next weekend. Or tomorrow. Whichever.
Colette and Paige 
Maci and Amber
Colette, me, Trish
Paige at about 6 months...(kind-of young to be balding like that).
THEN...when I got home, after a bit of DRAMA, which I hate anyway, we got into our new house!!!! And overnight, my life got so much happier and more spacious. Anyone who tells you that apartment living is easier than living in a house is maybe lying a little bit. Here are some of the things I love about having a house:
We can walk around our neighborhood, ON A SIDEWALK, without looking suspicious.
When we hear noises upstairs/downstairs, they are coming from one of us. Not counting the crazy ghost toilet, but THAT is another story.
Me and Maci can have running races. But not anymore because she won.
Jared is no longer working with his computer on the kid table, sitting in the kid recliner. Actually, I kind of think I miss that.
I have so many cabinets in my kitchen that one just has bananas in it.
There is so much more, but I'm starting to lose brain power. I wanted so badly to take pictures of my house for you, but as I walked from room to room, I realized that no rooms were clean. It's weird because I swear I clean all the rooms all day every day. So SOON I will post pics of the house. When a miracle happens and something stays clean. So this picture is in our hallway (on the clean side of the hallway) and Paige is almost 7 months now. Crazy how time flies.
Also, if anyone knows how to get a 7 month old to sleep at night, please please please just share the secret. I'm starting to make crazy mistakes. Like forgetting to take my contacts out at night and then not even realizing in the morning that I could suddenly see while driving. What the...why can I see?!!! So...some advice please.
More to come soon.

Great news about the house! YAY!!! I'm so happy for you. I love your posts. So funny and witty. I can just hear you talking! :) And I have the same predicament about our house -- people want to see it, but never clean enough to take pics. Someday... :)
Seems like when you're in a house, there are endless things to do!! But it sure beats being in an apartment!
I have to say I'm a bit jealous about all those things you listed about being in a house...especially only having bananas in a cupboard! :) Cute pictures! Paige is looking so cute.
Where is that studly husband of yours? He's never in the pictures you post. Is he still alive? If you're done with him I'll take a slice.
I can't believe that Paige is seven months! She is soooo cute and her eyes are beautiful.
I can't wait to see pictures of your house! It sounds like you are in heaven! :)
Dang it Summer I can't believe you were here in Rexburg and didn't even tell me! Next time you guys come you have to let me know! We could go to Big Jud's again!! I'm happy for you guys to finally have a house!! That is awesome! Paige is so stinkin cute and big already! It's so sad how fast they grow!!!
Hey I feel ya with the whole baby not sleeping through the night. What I finally did with Jordyn after 1 year of waking up SEVERAL times a night, was put her in the other room and turn my fan on so I couldn't hear her every peep. We are both light sleepers and I was waking up to her every whine, so I finally decided to move her over. But she was over a year at that point. Anyways that is what I did. I can't wait to see pictures of the house. I've been checking this blog for the last little while waiting to see pics!!!
Wow...LOVE the house! For baby sleep issues, here is what I do. If she is waking up hungry, I always do a dream feed before I go to bed, so if baby goes to bed at 8 and I go to bed at 11, I feed him while he is sleeping. I also use a fan - it seems to help. You can always try "Babywise" - I like that method.
