Aleana's Birthday Week!

Saturday September 27

We did a 2nd Yard Sale at my brother Brian's house.  We had a lot of stuff left from the last sale so we thought we would try to make some more money.  We had people stopping by the entire time and made a few hundred dollars more which was good because it was raining most of the time.  I think in all we made around $900 which will be a great help.  

After we cleaned up the yard sale we ate pizza and had a little party for Aleana's 2nd Birthday.  My Dad made her an Olaf cake since Aleana Loves Olaf.  I think it turned out adorable.  She liked it but she was super tried for being away from home and not having had a nap.  

Olaf and Olaf slippers from Grandma and Grandpa Stauffer

Cute girl her Olaf's

Poor little thing had to have her sucker to stay happy even with all the presents.  

Debbie, Brian and Cadie went in together to get Aleana a bike.

 Aleana and Layla took turns pushing each other on the bike.  Layla was sad that all the presents where for Aleana so Aleana was nice and shared her bike. 

Enjoying some Olaf Birthday Cake.

Aleana completely left her baby stage behind and is Climbing up and down the stairs like a pro, talking in sentences and diffidently can express her opinion.  She is also very sneaky so if she is quite or hiding you know there is trouble.  I loved my little baby but I am having lots of fun with my little toddler.

Sooo Cute!

So a little update on our family.  We did a yard sale to help raise money for another adoption. Several people in my ward donated stuff and several people from my moms ward donated stuff.  We had a my sister in law Cadie's moms Yard full of stuff to sale.  We did pretty well and usually had people shopping or at least looking.  

Also Curt and I have decided to build a house in Nibley with NNHC Neighborhood Nonprofit Housing Corporation.  We picked out our house plan which will be Parker and are just waiting to close on our loan.  We will be helping to build 8 home with our soon to be neighbors.  We have staked out some homes already.  It will be a lot of work but it will be worth it in the end.  I hope I can learn fast and be a good help, I am a little nervous to work with all the power tools. I will post pictures of our lot soon.
