Fall Fun

I LOVE Fall! Our family was blessed to be able to experience the coolness and gorgeous views of Fall on a trip to Kentucky. We stayed with our friends Gerald and Stephanie. They have a 3 month old, Garrett, who Jayden fell in love with. She got to sit in the backseat between Garrett and Kelso when we rode around in town. She loved being "the big girl" in the car! We were able to go to Jackson's Orchard and have some yummy apple pie and apple slush! Gerald actually has his own pumpkin patch on their property and Jayden got to go pick a pumpkin! We had a good time!

New Pictures

Just some new pictures to look at! The last one is what you call a sad senorita! Aunt Amy got Jayden this dress in El Salvador. Normally, she loves to dress up but was not happy about it when I took these pictures!

He's almost walking!!!

Kelso has decided he is even closer to walking! He still needs the assistance of this walk-behind but I have a feeling pretty soon, he won't need help! Then we are in big trouble! Jay enjoyed this walk-behind too and I remember sending MJ videos of her doing this. He was in Iraq when she was doing this so he is really enjoying watching K do this!

These pictures were taken during the states' Marksmanship match. It was a lot of fun. I ranked 17 out of 28 which isn't that great. But my rifle wasn't zeroed so I have a good excuse.

Waiting for Grandaddy!

I had a meeting today so my dad came over to watch Jayden. She was anxiously awaiting his arrival. She was sitting in our window which is the front window of the house. I guess she figured if she sat there with her dolls, it would make him come faster!
Notice all 3 dolls are Cinderella Barbies-she is slightly obsessed!

What a day!

I walked into the room today and what did I see? Oh, just a sweet 2 and half year old girl in the middle of piles of shredded paper from our shredder! Don't worry, we unplug the shredder and turn it off after we use it--plus, it has a safety feature where it won't work if it is opened. Anyway, Jay decided she would take piles of this paper and run through the house and throw it in the air. When I discovered her doing this, I made her clean it up-that's why she is crying in the picture. She had paper in her hair, pants, and I am still finding pieces of it around after a thorough vacuuming!

K is cutting his first tooth so he has been quite the grouch lately. But, he is still a cutie so I thought I'd share some of his cuteness.

Lots of Orlando Pictures!!!

Such a fun place to stay! We found these ducks as we were walking around and she was very impressed!

More Orlando

Notice in the Jungle Book picture a few pictures down from here, how tiny Jayden is compared to the statues---they are HUGE!!!

Orlando

We went to Orlando for another wedding this week and had lots of fun! The wedding started at the Disney wedding pavilion and then we were bused to the Boardwalk hotel for the reception and then bused to backstage Epcot where we had a private viewing area for the fireworks along with a a desert reception---all very fun. Of course, Jay loved all of it. She especially loved the fact you could see Cinderella's castle from the pavilion AND the bride arrived in a carriage! She also enjoyed her first "bus ride"---especially since she didn't have to sit in a carseat!

We stayed at the Pop Century hotel which I have to say is fabulous if you have kids. You could honestly stay there and never go anywhere else in Orlando b/c there is so much to do there!

Richard and Ashley's Wedding

I forgot to add a few pics from the wedding!

More July Pics

Busy July!

This has been a packed month and we haven't had a chance to blog lately so I will hit a few of the highlights.

-Kelso turned 6 months and started crawling and pulling up on things.

-Michael's parents, AKA Hezzy and Grandpa came for a visit.

-Michael, myself and Jayden were in a wedding.

-We went to Orlando for a night and will be going there again next week (Jayden LOVES it).

-Did I mention that K is crawling and when that happens, I can accomplish NOTHING during the day b/c he is into EVERYTHING! Oh well, I LOVE it-he is so fun. The house may be somewhat messy by the end of the day but I had fun chasing my kiddos around!

-Jayden and I continue to enjoy "projects" together---these consist of collages, princess mobiles, and anything else I can come up with to be creative!
