Jadie and Johnathan

Here is Johnathan and Jadie watching "Dah Dah Dah Dora!"

There's Something About Mary

Jadie had hair like I have never seen. You don't need hairspray to make it stay where you style it! Here is her hair after she woke up from a nap. I immediately saw her, and Johnathan and I said "she looks like that movie "There's Something About Mary". It was just a funny situation. She was tickled with herself too...here she is saying "TA-DA!"

Tyley's Birthday

We took the girls to our neighbor's house for a birthday party. Their youngest daughter, Tyley was turning 1. They had 2 waterslides, one HUGE one! Ashlyn was beyond tired, so she wasn't up for many pictures!

Jadie and her Ice Cream cones

Jadie has been carrying around some pretend ice-cream cones. One vanilla and one chocolate. She even has gone to bed with them, and refused to give them up at school. She keeps walking around saying..."I licking it!" "MMMmmmm That's Yummy." "I like it!"

Ashlyn's First Day of KINDERGARTEN!!!!

My Mama came in Sunday afternoon to stay the night. She helped us Monday morning by watching Jadie, while Johnathan and I took Ashlyn to school! She has an awesome teacher! (We met her Thursday evening at Kindergarten Orientation!) Ashlyn was quite excited, but still a little apprehensive. All the Kindergartener's and their parents met in the cafeteria for a quick word from the Principal. Then it was time for Ashlyn to leave us. All the Kindergarteners lined up behind their teachers, and left all the parents in the gym! I held back the tears until I walked outside! I of course was not the only mama crying! Here are a few pictures of the morning! Below all these pictures, you will read about her first day!

Mama left around 10am. Johnathan decided to take the morning off and we took Jadyn to Chick-Fil-A. After lunch, John went on to work, and Jadie and I headed home to wait until it was time to leave to pick up Ashlyn.
We left the house at 2:35 and waited in a long, long, long, long, long line to pick up Ashlyn. They deliver her to the car and buckle her in. She had the BIGGEST grin on her face when she was approaching the car! When the lady opened the door, I immediately asked how her day was. She said "Kindergarten was AWESOME! Maybe one day I can spend the night there!?" I loved it! It was a relief to hear she enjoyed herself so much!
I asked her to tell me about her day, and she spouted off about 5 names of some new friends. She also named the "Bad" kids in her class. She told me they only laid down for a second. (They lay down for an hour nap. So I'm thinking as soon as her head hit the mat, she was out!) She got a sticker for being good and they gave her an afternoon snack. She said that she did not like PE. That was her only complaint. (Her reason...they talk too much!) Haha....Ashlyn has competition! :)

Summer 2009 Pictures

Splash Park

I took the girls to a splash park with two other mom's a few months back. I have been searching for the disk which holds the pictures. I finally came across them this afternoon. They had a great time.

Jadie's Bridal Gown

For Jadyn's Rehearsal dinner, we have decided to bring Ashlyn's white "Cinderella" dress and Ashlyn's pink and black polka dot high heeled ladies shoes. For the past two days, Jadie has been wearing this around the house, veil and all. It is quite a hoot, and she thinks calls herself a princess! I told Johnathan that we were going to remember this moment when she was walking down the isle 20+ years from now! (So we decided that this outfit will have to stick around until then!) Here are a few pictures.
