This is the day

Fall Happenings

A couple of weeks ago Adlee’s little daycare/preschool that she goes to on Tuesday and Thursday went to the pumpkin patch.  Since I can be a Mom and not a teacher this year I got to go!! 

Adlee and her BF, RyaLyn!

Adlee loved the jump pillow!

This girl loves to do a “toe touch,” these are  her skills.

BF’s on the hayride.

Raise your hand if you had a FUN DAY!!

This last weekend we had our fall retreat with the youth group.  Adlee and Jacee both came!  This progression of pics is funny.  Adlee did not want to slide, but Daddy wanted her to.  She was not happy with him!

Not too bad after all!

Jacee swinging with Brandy, who she now recognizes when she sees!!

We went hiking on Saturday and Adlee did SO great!!  Don’t judge me people, I do NOT wear make up on youth trips!

On Tuesday night, with the rest of OKC, we went to Storybook forest with Honey and Grandad and our cousins! We had to sit in the car of almost an hour before we even got there!

Don’t worry, my little ladybug was there too!

2 kids + blogging = failure for me

For the sake of my Grandma’s and my scrapbooks that I don’t have purchased yet, I have to start posting again! 

We have had a BUSY summer!  Jerred went to his 2 normal camps, plus a week in Del Rio, TX for the mission trip.  We took a trip to TX with my family.  All of this with a newborn and a toddler!  It was fun and of course flew by.  I am not teaching this year, VERY thankful to be able to stay home.  Adlee still goes to Miss Amie’s house, but only on Tuesday/Thursday.  This was for both of us.  She is very social and needs that outlet!  Okay, onto pics…

This is my favorite picture of the cousins at the hotel pool in Dallas!  Ryan jumped on 2 every time!

Adlee is a fish!  She took swim lessons with her best friend, RyaLyn and loved it so much. 

She has no fear when it comes to the water.  I wish there was a little bit, but there is none.  She went on this slide every day with her teacher, Shelby.  She also went off a diving board at a youth party, but no pictures of that.

Jacee didn’t participate in much this summer, but she still had fun!

This picture just cracks me up.

She is now 3 months!

She started really laughing yesterday, and I caught it on my phone!  I will have to post that later, or in a month.  This is Adlee’s french braid, we started that recently and she loves it!

Adlee’s first day at Amie’s house on 8/23.  She is so stinkin’ big!

Bitty girl hanging out with Momma on our first day without sister.

Sisters playing.  Adlee loves these times, and Jacee just flinches a lot. I know one day she will love it too, but for right now her big sister is a little in her face.

This shot shows her c-razy hair!

Well, hopefully I can post again sometime soon.  But little one is hungry and big one is supposed to be napping, but by the sounds of things is clearly not!

My little, big girl!

So back a month ago I had my baby girl.  Jacee Ann came on May 19, weighing in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces.  I am now overwhelmed with blogging, which is why I haven’t kept up.  I am just thinking if I am going to get back in this for scrapbooking purposes, I better start soon!!

To start at the beginning, a week before Jacee came I was put on bed rest.  My blood pressure had started getting really high so we got a little worried.  On Monday before she came the dr wanted me to go to the hospital to monitor Jacee and my pressure.  Jacee was doing great, but the blood pressure was not, so she decided to induce at 38 weeks, on May 19!  Here is my bed rest companion until Jacee came.  Sweet Sadie is so neglected.

My labor was super fast and easy this time.  I started my meds at 6:30 and had Jacee 4 hours later.  I got my epidural really early on, so never really had a ton of pain.  If this pregnancy had been a little easier I would have 5 more babies…well, maybe not. 

Here is proof I can have a big baby!!

She did not enjoy her first bath, luckily at home she enjoys them!

Love those chubby cheeks!!

She looks HUGE here, but I never really thought she was in my arms!

Adlee got to come in that afternoon to meet her baby sister.  We had Jacee in the nursery and talked to Adlee before we brought Jace in.  She was very excited to meet her sister and give her the bunny she had made her!

Since this first kiss, there have been many many more.

Adlee was beyond thrilled that Jacee had made her a kitty.  She said “Oh thank you, Jacee” about 100 times!

Adlee wanted to help right away!

And of course hold her!

First attempt at a family pic. 

Sweet sisters!

I will leave you with the most recent (yesterday) picture of my girls.  It pretty much says how my life has been lately.  Jacee wide awake with Adlee close by, and Adlee full of attitude!!
