Jadyn took a 1/2 step!

I can't really call it a full step, as she fell in the middle of it. However, she has been pulling herself up on things and letting go. Then she proceeds to take a step...yet falls in while her foot is in motion. I'll try to capture it on camera, however, I am usually the one sitting there encouraging her to come to me, so I will need some assistance. My mom is coming in for a couple of days for me to have a CAT scan done, so I'll try to take some action photos then.

We Just Love These Gorgeous Girls!!!

Trip to the Houston Zoo

Hours of Fun on the Jeep

Grandma and Grandpa W.'s Farm

Saturday morning after we finished our Garage Sale, we packed up and drove up to the Rusk area to stay the night with Grandma and Grandpa W.'s. We weren't there but 5 minutes and Grandpa and Ashlyn were off on the four wheeler to feed the cows. I enjoyed taking pictures of the girls while we were there. They truly have a beautiful place. Ashlyn loved feeding the fish down at the pond house. We even had the opportunity to grill some burgers down there before we headed back to Beaumont.

Our Angels' Birthdays

We will be celebrating our girl's birthdays on Saturday, May 10th. We hope to see you there!

Our Girls

Ashlyn has fully recovered from her ear infection...only to come down with Pink Eye in both eyes! She hated me putting drops in her ears because is "felt funny", you can only imagine the battle we have every time it is eye drop time!

Jadyn is doing well, she is pointing at everything and babbling. She calls ever animal a "dog" (which really sounds like god if you listen closely.) and pretty much any person is Mama or Dada.

I have been working with her to take a sippy cup...and the girl just won't have it! It gets thrown on the floor. She also has been more reluctant at letting me feed her. I have to distract her with the baby food jar lid. She will try to put the lid on, while I sneak a spoonful of food in her mouth. As far as finger foods...she is getting much better at that...but talk about a messy eater! No worries though...Sally-dog is always right there to clean up her mess!

Jadyn still isn't walking. She is too content crawling. I am hoping she is walking by summer. We enjoy taking Ashlyn to the Spray Parks in town (which are concrete surfaces). Jadyn's knees would be miserable if she had to crawl around on the concrete to enjoy the water.

On Monday we Headed Home.

Johnathan is now working nights, so we headed home on Monday morning. We were able to see him for a few hours before he had to go to work. We all sure did miss him! The girls had a great time at my parent's place. Here are a few more photos I took while we were there!

Ashlyn spent hours on my parent's Play Set.

Another Big hit is the Sand on Grandpa's Porch!

Jadyn loves playing Peek-A-Boo

Jadyn Loved Getting in and out of Mom's Storage Bins

And of Course...Ashlyn couldn't say no to a Horse Ride on Dori!

Grandma bought a "Dingy Bike". Ashlyn called it her "Dingy Bike" because it went "Ding...Ding" It has a bell on it.

Jadyn loves books!!!

Ashlyn enjoyed helping my mom with yard work!

But...her Favorite thing to do was to help Grandma clean out the Stalls!

Easter Sunday

We took the girls to church, and then met my brother and his family at Mike's for Pancakes. When we arrived back at my parent's house, the kids changed clothes and we headed outside for our very own Egg hunt! Jack the dog got into quite a few of the eggs while my Dad was hiding them! He left all the eggs that had the raisins in them!!!

Stopped to See Carey

We actually did this on the way out to my mom's. It has been way too long in between visits! I'm hoping gas prices go down soon, so we can make more trips out to see them!

Daddy Visits!

Johnathan came out to visit me the girl's Easter Dresses for church. He flew kites with the kids and helped them catch a Bunch of Fish!

Easter Eggstravaganza

Since we are still at my mom's, we took the girls to their church for an Easter Celebration. It was really nice. They had a pancake breakfast, a coloring contest(Ashlyn Won the 3 year old age group.), and of course an Easter Egg Hunt! Ashlyn has become friends with a couple of the girls there. (She is in the nursery with them during church on Sundays, when we come for a weekend.)

Ashlyn Accepting Her Prize!

Jadyn's First Horse Ride!

Jadyn loved her first horse ride. She was all smiles and squeals of delight. Brody is so good with our girls. And this horse Dori, is the most gentle creature.
