The girls and me at our Bunko Christmas!

Our Annual Christmas Party

All I have to say...Another Fun Year!

Grandma K.'s Party for the Batt's Grandkids

My mom had a party at her house for all her friends and their grandchildren. It was a great time! There was fishing, zebra (golf cart) rides, a tire swing, a jungle gym, and a Moonwalk! Ashlyn was exhausted after everyone left! Her best friend Carey was able to come out with her family, so we exchanged Christmas gifts too.

Airport with Carey!!!

The Girl's Loved Watching The Planes Land!

Jadyn's Sick

The girls and I went up to Grandma and Grandpa W.'s Farm early Thursday morning to have Thanksgiving Dinner. It was a nice visit and great food. Ashlyn is still talking about the 4 wheeler rides! Thanksgiving Day also happened to be my birthday. The big 3-0!!! Unfortunately, Johnathan wasn't able to come with us. He is still working this turn around, (which was supposed to be completed on October 24th.) At 2:00 am, Jadyn woke up and I couldn't get her to go back to sleep. She was so congested and coughing. So we decided to pack up and head back home to try to get her into the doctor's office early Friday morning. (Unfortunately, they weren't open on Friday. I guess that is what we get for using a small practice instead of one of those large ones with lots of doctors.) She has been running a fever since early Friday morning, with a bad cough and severe congestion. It looks as if she is crying all the time with her watery eyes. She has also been throwing up, which is so confusing to her. She is a child that hardly ever fusses, so I know she has to be miserable. We are going to try to wait until Monday to take her to the doctor.

Johnathan surprised me for my Birthday with a NEW CAMERA!!! So you we will be seeing some new (better quality) pictures on this blog. I just need a good two hours to go through the manual and figure out how to use it. It's one of those big ones, with oodles of features!!!

Jadyn's Newest Tricks! STANDING

Jadyn's 6 Month Update

Jadyn measured in at 27 1/2 inches and weighed 16 pounds and 6 ounces. That places her in the 95th percentile on height and the 75th percentile on weight. I have started introducing solid foods. She is quite a picky eater already. (I guess she takes after her Mama!)

She has started crawling more (she still scoots around or army crawls to get places that are far away.) She now has three teeth and is working on her 4th.

Yesterday she got 4 shots...so she has been running a slight fever and has been a little fussy!

More Pictures

What a Cutie with her Piggies!

Grandma K. came to visit

My mom came over to help babysit, while I sold my frames at a local craft fair. I did alot better than I expected, and it was a nice break!

Halloween Night

I dressed Ashlyn in a Kimono that Grandpa W. had picked up for Ashlyn a year ago while he was overseas. (I had to alter it a little bit so that it would fit her.) I thought she looked precious with her hair up in a bun!

My friend Courtni, brought her two kids over. (Alexander 5yrs., Maddie 3yrs.) We ordered pizza and let the kids pass out candy. They were all extremely excited about it that we had to make them take turns. Here is a picture of them BEFORE, we said that they had to take turns! It was so cute. They stood there for 3 minutes, just staring at the door. (It took about 5 minutes for someone to show up!)

Trick or Treating

We decided to go Trick or Treating a day early. I made arrangements with a few of our neighbors and friends within our subdivision to trick or treat the night before Halloween. The girls were so cute and so excited. I actually enjoyed it. It was not as hectic and overwhelming for Ashlyn. I think she even received more candy than she would have if we would have visited twice as many homes on Halloween.

Jadyn's First Ear Infection

Jadyn has been battling her first ear infection. We go in for a recheck on Monday. This infection has post-poned her 6 month check-up.

Fall Festival at Preschool

Our Church, (Ashlyn's Pre-school) has a Fall Festival. They have booths set up in the gym and fun activities set up outside for the kiddos to enjoy. Fortunately, Johnathan was able to go too. Ashlyn was so happy to see him. He has been working a turn around and has little to no time with us.

Late for School!

Ashlyn was so upset when I told her we were running late for school. She was concerned about missing her morning project. Fortunately, we made it on time!!!

Cora

I have started watching Cora (a friend of Ashlyn's at her Preschool) on Wednesday afternoons for a couple of hours. Ashlyn is so excited whenever Wednesday comes. Here the girls and I are Chick fil a for a little afternoon treat of Ice-Cream!

People would Pay Lots of $$$ for this Bed Head!!!

Ashlyn's Best Friend turns 4

Johnathan and I took the girls to Summerwood for a Fairy Birthday Party. It was adorable! All the little girls were dressed up as fairies and princesses, while the one boy that attended was dressed up like a pirate! Ashlyn was tinkerbell! Her favorite part was chasing the bubbles with a magic wand. They also got to "walk the plank and swim for lost treasure" swing on ropes, use fairy dust to make frogs fly, and play on a parachute.
