We're back, Jaycie, Kaylie, and a Giveaway!

Well we are back from ANOTHER trip to Abilene for another cousins bday party. It was cousin Kase's 3rd bday. This trip Brad's parent and sister were sick so we stayed with my sister and her family - like we were suppose to last weekend. This trip was not nearly as rushed as the last one. I actually got to visit a little bit with my sister and her family. But still got no sleep. Jaycie just doesn't travel well! She is like her Mommy and prefers to sleep in her own bed!

They did the party at the church gym. Perfect for 3 year olds to run around and act like 3 year olds!

It was a football themed party - so of course hot dogs were served!


The boys making Jaycie do all the work! Good thing she is strong!

Kaylie just hanging out chewing on some fingers.

Sitting by Kase while he opened his present from us. Can you believe it - they are both looking up, at the camera, and smiling, with their eyes open!

We drove on out to Roscoe to visit our friends out there since we were so close! It was good to see them, too. Their 4 girls are all getting so BIG!!

She was WORE OUT on our drive home Sunday and actually slept in the car for a little over an hour!!!!!!

For a "stay-at-home Mom" we sure don't get to stay home very much! We have been going all week but enjoyed a day at home twice this week!! Jaycie went back to school Thursday with no problem!! That makes leaving her MUCH easier! She is still loving her sister and loving being a big helpful big sister!

Jaycie already keeps us busy with activities. She goes to "school" twice a week now since September. She also has been going to the Little Gym since April last year which she LOVES. It was a night for all three of us to do something together, but since late in the pregnancy, it has become a Jaycie and Daddy date night. We also just this month started her in a "real" gymnastics place which she is liking - mostly due to the trampolene part of the evening! Here are some pics of her last night in the "Beasts" class at the Little Gym - she now moves up to the "Super Beast" class!

Playing "chase" with her friend Megan!

Swinging on the bar - her favorite!

She's got both the purple balls - it's a good night!! That is until she lost one of them to another little girl that likes purple too!

Jumping off the big one to her teacher!

Patiently waiting her turn!

Kaylie is a little growing girl! She is already 3 months old!! She has become quite the talker - we think maybe she will be the social bird of the family! She is very aware of her surroundings now and gets excited when she sees her sister. She has already shown some interest in the TV - guess the colors and motions! She is doing better with her naps and usually falls asleep no problem we are just working on the length of her naps sometimes. But she is still such a happy baby - full of smiles and talking unless she is tired or hungry! Such a great added blessing to our family!!
She LOVES bath time - especially when you go to wash her hair!

She had her first little play date Thursday while Jaycie was away at school She and I went to visit Amy and baby Sam! Kaylie and Sam are so cute together! It is so funny to see the differences between the 2 of them - he weighed in at 14.4 pounds at his 8 week check up!! He was born 2 weeks after Kaylie. The Dr said he is the size of a 4 month old!! He is definitely all boy!! And a cute one at that!

They were happy to play together!

Pretty little girl!

Oh, and there is a giveaway at Drea Reviews going on that I am going to enter. It is for a Sleepy Wrap. I've been thinking about trying a wrap of some sort, so if I could win one that would be even better!
