My mom came a few weeks ago because we moved and things got a little too crazy for me. Jacob had been working till midnight most nights then he broke his elbow and sprained his wrist so he couldn't help much with the move. The house we moved into was disgustingly dirty. I don't know how anybody could live like that. With my moms help we were able to scrub down every inch of this place and get it organized. Because of her I am able to live in this new home with my family instead of a mental institution. Thanks mom. Here are some pictures to give you a litttle idea of what things were like.

dull and gloomy kitchen
To bright and cheery ( yes I realize that is a very stange place for an oven. These houses were built in the 20's. I'm starting to think people didn't have brains back then.)
It's snowing in June. Ok so it's really just cotton but as much as I hate the winter, this is almost worse because my allergys are going crazy.
Jacob's decorating skills. As much as he loves Michael Jordan, he still saved a spot for his family.
I don't know why this picture is sideways. Lily has finally started sleeping in her big girl bed. I thought it would be difficult to make the change but she has done rather well. One night I found here sleeping on the floor inside her pillow case.
This is the smiliest little guy in the world. Dispite his acid reflex he is a great baby. He sleeps from 9pm to 6am every night. He eats real fast at 6 then goes back down till 8ish. He has rolled over from stomach to back a couple times and can almost roll from back to stomach. He has a blowout pretty much every single day but is the sweetest thing ever. As soon as we finish this box of size two diapers I am going to move him to a size three which means he will be wearing the same size as Lily.
The other day I put Jake down with one of Lily's blankets. She saw what I had done and was not happy about it. I didn't want to switch blankets because I was afraid it would wake Jake up so I was practically begging her to share. She did not want anything to do with sharing at that time so I finally gave in and gave her the blanket. The next day I found this (below) and Lily has been so good about sharing things with Jake ever since.
On Memorial day we went to a little shindig the city was doing. Lily got to pet some sheep and goats.
She also got to ride a pony. She loved it and has been talking about it ever since so Becca when we come to visit we need to take a little trip up to see your horses. You will be her favorite person in the world.
After that we went to a lake and had a picnic. It was such a nice day to be out.

What a great post! I'm glad your mom came and saved your sanity. That was very sweet of her. Lily is adorable! I love how she grasped the idea of sharing. Jake has a great smile!!! I can't wait to meet him in August! What day are you flying out? If you are out over William's birthday you all will have to come. Love you all!
your new house looks great. Jake is getting so big, I can't believe he is rolling over. Good luck with the transition of things!
Wow! What an update! The new house looks great. I am so glad your mom was able to come out! What an awesome mom.
