Sweet little Pistol Pete

My sweet little baby has been Pistol Pete lately. Don't get me wrong, we love her and love her energy, but we've also entered the "BATTLE ZONE" when it comes to a lot of things. :) Sometimes I just need to be reminded of her sweet little side :) and these pictures do the trick!

I love this girl. Always. Even when she's screaming on the floor because we said no.

To Disney and Back

We made a quick trip to Florida last week. That makes us sound important :). We were gone Tuesday-Early Saturday morning. We did Disney on Wednesday and Thursday and we did the beach on Friday. It was a good time. Here are a few pictures we have. I didn't take enough at Disney. I look forward to going back to get more of the shots I want. It was so hot while we were there that carrying the camera just made things worse!

Here is Jaydn with Handy Manny. He is the only once she would take a picture with. She said hi to a couple of others.

Most of our pictures are with backgrounds...

She was so hot. Poor little thing!

Our first ride was the teacups! Daddy only got a little sick! Jadyn wanted it faster and faster.

Friday we went to the beach:

Jadyn and Grandma

Most of my pictures are of Jadyn's backside...

Jadyn and Daddy

Building sandcastles with cousins

Looking for seashells with Daddy. It was not a great endeavor. Jadyn kept emptying the bucket. :)

I know I know

I need to update. It has been so crazy around here! I am looking forward to summer in full swing.

A few weeks ago we took Alex, Carter, and Jadyn to the zoo. We had so much fun!!

The kids checking out the polar bear. 

Posing for a picture. Alex held this face for about 20 shots. By the end I was laughing. Hard.

Jadyn's cousins.

Jadyn loves the Merry-go-round.

 Jadyn picked out her outfit - complete with "glass slippers" and mommy's headband!

Mother's Day

We had a great day on Sunday. Actually, we had a great weekend! On Friday evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Warrensburg. Jadyn loved seeing them again and is so excited they are home! 

Saturday we got up and went to the zoo. Then Saturday evening we visited with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Rod and then Greg took us girls for ice cream

Sunday afternoon we we went out to my parent's house. I remembered the camera, so most of our pictures are from that day. My Dad got a hold of the camera and took a few - he did a great job :) 

Uncle Kyle got out the 4 wheeler and took all the kids for rides. Jadyn loved it! She also loves her Uncle Kyle. 

Daddy took this picture. Good job Papa! 

Jadyn and Uncle Kyle being silly. Jadyn wanted to eat her strawberry shortcake while on his lap. This makes my heart happy :) 

Jadyn got Aunt Lori to pull her around in the wagon. Several times...

I can't believe the kids are big enough to actually sit and eat at their own table. It doesn't seem possible! 

Another one on the 4 wheeler! 

Jadyn took Aunt Lori and Aunt Megan up to see the dog and horse. I think this picture is so sweet! 

Jadyn has also been in to dressing up lately. This is her "fairy dress" with her "glass slippers." We had to put it on as soon as she got up from her nap - thus the bedhead! 

I am very blessed to have some many wonderful people in my life! 

What an awesome Mother's Day! 

Easter (Caution:: PICTURE HEAVY)

What a wonderful weekend of celebration! Jadyn has been saying "Happy Easter, He is Risen" for the last week or so. It has been fun to talk to her about the real meaning of Easter and have her grasp bits and pieces. We've had a lot of funny moments with her the past few weeks. She's becoming such a little girl! She loves to play Barbie and she LOVES the princesses!

For Easter we went to church and then came home until afternoon. Easter afternoon we went over to my folks house and had dinner, an Easter egg hunt, dyed eggs, and Jadyn got to do her new favorite things: feed Melvin (my Dad's dog) and Jake (the grandkids horse - although Jadyn thinks Jake is hers and she's happy to tell you).

Jadyn's Easter egg hunt was funny. She was so prissy carrying her basket around. She was the only one on the hunt this year so Daddy, Papa, and Uncle Ronnie basically just followed Jadyn around :)

Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
Love, Jamie

A little Lady

Jadyn had her first pedicure. She went with Mommy and Nana and sat in the chair to get her toes painted. She was so excited and constantly puts her toes out for people to admire :) She picked her own color.

Tonight before Jadyn could go to bed we had to tuck her barbie dolls in bed; oh, and one of her babies too.

Say cheeeese

Jadyn's newest thing is "Mommy take my picture" - then when I take it she shuts her eyes because of the flash and laughs like a wild woman. She is so stinkin' cute!! I'm glad the camera takes fast pictures because I may never get a picture of her eyes again. Here are a few good ones :) 

About a year ago I found a little toddler mickey mouse lawn chair on sale so I bought it for Jadyn. She found it in the garage and takes it everywhere now. I was in the kitchen getting supper ready and when I came out I found this:

After I took the picture she got in trouble for being so close to the television.

Then a few days later (or maybe that night) I told her to go get in her bed. I wasn't too far behind her and I found this:

She reminds me so much of her Daddy when she does things like this. Her Uncle Kyle too :)

This last picture is for Grandma and Grandpa. Jadyn wanted me to take a picture of her with your postcards to show you :) She got another one today so I'm sure we will have to take another picture too. She LOVES getting them from you guys! When she gets it I read it to her and then she "reads" it back to me. It's so funny to hear the things she picks up on!!

Oops, I do have one more. Proof that sometimes - she does sleep! This was last Sunday when it was 90 out. Her bedroom is so stinkin  hot that we let her sleep on our bed.
