June

June was a busy month.... (this sounds familiar) Jessica got her "big girl bed" as Jamie needed the crib... we left the crib "broken" for a while, but jessica did just fine with her new bed. she loves it and won't get out of bed unless we tell her to.

Jamie got bigger, and cuter. AWWW... look at those eyes! and i just love to smooch her cheeks!

Jacob got a "davie crocket" hat from mom and dad when they went to canada... the tail is real so we have to keep it away from the cat, but the hat part is fake so jacob can play with it all he wants... and he loves it.

Jessica got into mommies garden, though she told me she didn't. she could not figgure out how i knew!

jessica found a new way to eat spagetti. this is one of her favorite dinners and i made it one night while we were at mom and dad's holding down the fort while they were in cananda.

YUMMY!

we thought it would be okay to give her ketchup with her fries... she sure showed us! she loves ketchup too... the fries are just a tool to get the ketchup to her mouth, and on her mouth, and nose, and eyes, and hair.

jamie got cuter. this was also taken while at mom and dad's. she was between 3-4 weeks old here. she had started to grin and i was desperatly trying to get a picture of it. everytime she saw the camera the grin would dissappear.

mom went without a toilet for a week while the bathroom was being redone. this is where the throne sat. i had a hard time holding it all day and was glad jessica was not yet potty trained and jacob was a boy! (he just went outside)

we got some chickens and i had to take care of them while mom was away. the kids got a kick out of unpacking them and holding them. everyday jessica reminded me to check on the chickens.

no, jessica is not killing the poor thing. she really is being gentle!

daddy was playing iwht the camera on the couch at mom and dads with the kids. i liked some of the playing around pics.

well, this is all for now. i have to make dinner and feed jamie. laundry is also calling my name!

TTFN!

MAY

May was a busy month for us... we went from a family of four to a family of five! Jamie came to the family on a tuesday afternoon and we were all very grateful that delivery went well, and that Jamie was a healthy baby girl! Jason and i had some trouble agreeing on her name, so at the last minute, literally, he told me the middle name was up to me to pick. (i think he felt bad for me.) so i chose Elizabeth. (this is what i wanted her first name to be) so now we are both happy with her name.


Jessica was intrigued with this new little person infinging upon her territory. she was always wondering what she was doing... sleeping? again? still? i had to put a step stool next to the bassonette so that she would not tip it over as she climbed up to see "Sheenan" Jacob contines to call her "Pretzel" from time to time.

we went with some family to a resturant that serves only breakfast. is was very good and all had a great time. Jacob thought he had to hold up the statue outside so that it would not fall on the other kids. either that or he was checking to see if the statue was a boy or a girl!

jessica learned how to ride a bike!

Busy Busy

i have a lot to blog about .... things like, Jamie, and the fact that i am no longer working. Yup i'm an at home mom now. love it. but the self gratification is no there. ya know, kids don't usually say "WOW great lunch mommy! thanks for hitting all the food groups! and by the way the house looks so much better than it did when you worked! Keep up the good work!" but oh well, i know in my heart it is all for the best! bettergo, naptime is over and i have to start dinner.
more later followed by some pics.
