I'm so proud!

No, really I am. If you knew me as a kid, you'd know that I really am proud of her. I can't believe one of my kids has my *talent*. I can't wait until she can get longer and louder.

If you didn't know me as a kid, just hand me the Bad Mom of the Year award now.

Bubba has a soft spot....

When you think of words to describe Bubba, sweet and kind aren't always the first to pop out. Despite his crazy self, he is a sweet brother, especially to Jaylynn. He is so kind and gentle with her. He loves to hold her. He said Jaylynn is his favorite because she looks like him.

Jaylynn is smiling!

Miss Jaylynn is starting to smile at everyone. Well except Daddy. She only cries or throws up on him. In Jaylynn's defense, Jenna did the same thing and now she LOVES her Daddy. Jaylynn will come around too.

Jaylynn also loves being with Jasmine. She is so calm when Jazzi has her. It's so nice when I'm making lunch or dinner or have to finish something up and Jasmine can calm her. Jasmine just loves cuddling her and helping me with her. She usually gets to her before I do.

Chillin' with her big sister



Check out that smile!

Nap time

Jenna likes to play nap time. Not sure why but I think it could be her super soft and cozy blanket that I made her. She wanted Jaylynn to play with her. So sweet. Jaylynn actually enjoyed laying there with Jenna. I can't wait until she is really big enough to play with her. Well maybe I can! It will be here before I know it.

Looking a little scared at first



Definitely enjoying it now!

Pretty princess Jenna

I found these princess costume in the closet. Jasmine wore it a few years ago for Halloween. It was actually Kaylee's. Jenna was so excited to put it on! Can you tell?

So sweet

Such a sweet child. I love this little girl. I love all my kiddos. BUT this one doesn't talk back. She stays where I put her. She doesn't not do her chores (not that she has any but still). She doesn't argue with her siblings. If she cries, she is either hungry or wants to be held. And yes, I hold my kids when they want to be held. I am still not carrying Jordan around so it doesn't last forever. I enjoy every second of holding her because I know this time goes by so fast.

Jenna's 1st Haircut

Yes, this is Jenna's first hair cut ever. Yes, she is almost 4. She has beautiful hair. She just needed it trimmed up and evened out.

Before (I have no clue why I didn't take it out of the pony tail)



After (Is it just me or does it look a little crooked? I didn't notice there. I think Jenna was sitting a tad sideways because she was so nervous. You really don't notice it when the curls bounce back or it's in a pony.)

Daddy's manicure

Jamie is such a good daddy. He lets his little girls do his nails. If he had hair, I'm sure he would have had ribbons and bows in it too!

Jenna painted the blue nails and Jasmine did the lavender. Didn't they do a great job? I wish I had actual pictures of them giving him a manicure but I was at the grocery store when they did it.



Such a great Daddy!

Castle Park

The kids love going to Castle Park. I think the real name is Adventureland or something like that. The kids dubbed it Castle Park a long time ago because of the big castle there. They had such a blast and it wasn't packed at all! Very weird considering it was a Saturday and nice weather. Right before we left, it got really hot but up until then, it was gorgeous. Everyone else must have been at the pool or on vacation.

Cleaning out the van

Today I didn't have to babysit anyone. Just had my 6 kiddos so I had some free time to clean out the van. Then Jasmine decided she wanted to help me. Then Jacob and James wanted to help as well. I figured that was a good thing since they are the ones that grubbed it up anyway! I got all the junk out and vacuumed it out. Then they hopped in, cleaned windows, cleaned the spots where lollipops had been stuck (but didn't belong to anyone ~ must be Bear's then) and found about 57 pennies. And people wonder why I wanted a used van when we had to get a new vehicle when I killed our last van...

Chillin' in Daddy's chair

Such a big girl sitting in Daddy's chair all by herself. I can't believe Jaylynn's such a big girl already!

Jenna and her baby

These two are inseparable. Don't mess with Jenna or you have to deal with Bear. Well Jenna is pretty mean herself but with him backing her up, forget it! Jamie and I gave up a LONG time ago trying to get him not to lick her in the face.
