The Many Faces of Jaycie

So I stole this super cute idea from my friend Britt...

Every month we take a picture of Jaycie with a sign that says what she's been doing that month.

So far we've had much sucess taking these pictures... no accidents or wardrobe malfuntions or any of that; but this month was different. Daddy was suppose to be helping her sit (it's a skill she's working on right now) and he wasn't paying close enough attention.

Sad!

Happy Happy Birthday!

So we had two birthdays at our house last weekend! That's right, Maddie and Katie turned 3.

IT WAS AWFUL!

Not the part about them turning three but the day they turned 3.

Let me paint a picture for you... Me, in the bathroom, all day, both ends at the same time, wishing I was anywhere else at the moment. Thanks to my mother my house got cleaned and thanks to Josh people got to eat (well everyone except me, that would not have been pretty). I planned and planned to make this party great. I bought all the food, Cafe Rio Salads (delish), and made the cute cupcakes; but I just had to watch from afar.

The girls made out like a bandit though. They got more toys than I have ever seen any kid get. Tons of princess and dress up clothes (now I need a trunk). They had a blast, I stopped barfing, everyone was happy.

Hey! Where Ya Been?

Oh, ya know. Busy!

So what, it's been almost 2 years... no big deal. Not much happened, we just....

-Went to Hawaii, lost our camara, had the best time, no photographic evidence of it though.

- Josh had Surgery! Nothing major, just his ankle. He was out of work for 2 months so we decided to take another vacation.

- Went to Disneyland. Had a blast (plenty of photographic evidence), dragged the family along to push Josh around in the wheel chair while I pushed the stroller bus.

- Got a couple new Nephews (apparently I'm the only one who can have females in this family)

- Decided to get off birth control so we could start trying to have another baby. Figured it would take 3 years like it did the last time. NOPE! First month. Now I know what the other half feel like.

- Decided to rent out our house so we could move. Found fabulous renters who I never want to leave.

- Moved in with the in-laws while we built our house.

- Potty Trained the Girls (so much easier than I thought)

- Had another Nephew

-Built a New House in a new neighborhood.

- Had the cutest baby girl ever!

- Decided to start blogging again now that my life has calmed down a little.

So ya know, nothin going on.
