Good Times!

Last night Brian and I were sitting on the floor having a conversation ( which should have been our first clue that something was up) and Jenna came crawling out of her room. Brian asked "Does she have a bow in her hair?" I said no, why? Well as you can see her sweet big brother decided that it was time for Jenna to try something new with her hair. She has about half a jar of Vaseline on her head. It was really funny until an hour later when we were still trying to get it out. Needless to say she has the gel look and will have it for a few days I am sure.

A year ago

One year ago this very night I went to bed thinking am I ever going to have this baby!! Then about 11:30 that night I began having contractions. As the night went on I was up and down out of bed until finally I was sitting in bed and Brian rolled over and said "do you realize that they are every 5 minutes?" I honestly thought he was asleep but he had been laying there timing them! We decided we should start getting ready to go to the hospital. We called our wonderful friend Amanda at 2 in the morning and she came over to stay with Nate. After many trips up and down the hospital hallways and even a warm shower Jenna Claire decided to join us. She was born at 8:50 that morning. I can't believe that she is already one.

Happy Birthday Sweet girl!

Jenna's Party

We spend Thanksgiving in Nashville and had Jenna's birthday party there on Saturday. She enjoyed this one! I didn't get any pictures of her with her cake that Nanny made her but I think that Auntie did.


Nanny and Jenna

Shelly made her birthday dress and her tights also have cupcakes on them. She was too cute.
Nate was getting into the party when we broke out the bubbles.
Halle having bubble fun.
It was a good chance for us to get a family picture.

David, Uncle Hal, Mommy and Jenna, Daddy and Nate, Nicole, Pa, Nanny, Sus, and Uncle Billy.

Randomness

I am not sure that is even a word but it describes the pictures below! And speaking of random... My friend Holly and I were taking advantage of the beautiful weather this afternoon by taking a walk with the kids and on the way back home a man came out of his house and said Hey girls can I talk to you a minute. So immediately we are wondering what he wants with us! He began telling us that he has a friend that he e-mails everyday in England and he has been telling him how great the weather is and he wanted to know if he could take a picture of us to send him! Okay so as he went in the house to get his camera we starting laughing because we were thinking surely he can't he a weirdo because here we are two moms not showered and can't remember if we had brushed out teeth! He thanked us and told us we would be on our way to England that night. The beauty of the Internet.




So much candy so little time!
She loved the ducks! We had to pull her out by her moccasins!
Head out on the highway! Looking for Adventure!
Born to be wild!! This is Joanna. Holly's little girl.

This is Nate and his buddy Ella. She stayed with us one day and we had too much fun!

This is the two of them at Halloween. Nate would have made a cute Bam-Bam to match Pebbles!
Brian and I borrowed this rickshaw from a friend to see how the kids would like it. It was fun for a little while then Jenna would get tired of being that close to Nate.

Jenna's Almost Birthday

We celebrated Thanksgiving this weekend with my parents and decided to Happy Birthday Jenna early. We are going to have her party at her Nanny and Pa's house Thanksgiving weekend. She was not too sure about the cake but she looked so cute in her crown!

Trying her cake!

The only smile that she gave us!
She was ready to get out.

A family moment.
