Jack's FIRST TIME IN THE POOL


smiley girl--loves the water!

look at that smile!



Oh, we love you summer! Don't leave us!!! :0) I am so sad that Summer is almost over! Never has a summer gone by so fast since the times in HS when I was dreading school! :) So here is to all that we love about you Summer!

Our new couch!

"C-O-R- you going to the mall later?" (Name that movie). I love our couch! YEAH! I didn't clean up before I took the picture...so kinda messy--but I think our living room is much more inviting, now!

Jack and Bay--what else?!

story time!

(this shirt was mine as a baby...)



(I finally got his smirk! I love it)!

the many faces of Bay:




Bay and Jack's first bath together...(well, I am kinda a germ-a-phob, so I did separate baths and then put them in clean water together :))



So fresh and so clean, clean


All smiles

All attitude

holding hands

my lil chunk

all girl

all boy


I love these two!!! Good times! And I think they are looking so much more alike lately!!! What do you think?

"All I want for Christmas..."

"...Bailey's 2 front teeth!!"


How she usually is...not too noticeable:

this is before:

Bailey is too wild! (As many of you know!) She never walks--always has to run! Well, Friday she was leaving the house with her princess dress on and she was all ready to go play with her friend Abbie--not 2 steps out of our front door, she falls and hits her front tooth on the cement of the front porch! It is badly chipped but the dentist says that it looks fine and there is no further damage than gum bruising and cosmetic! I have been so sick about it and have cried about it for hours! I just wish I hadn't turned around to pick up Jack when it happened and maybe I could've caught her or something! It could have been worse--or at least I keep telling myself! Maybe one day we will look back on this and laugh--I don't think I will until her adult teeth come in, though! I don't think it is terribly noticeable--but her cute big cheesy grins will not be the same! The dentist said that in a year or so he will file it down, but he won't be able to make it even, and it is not worth the hassle to do it now--would be traumatic for Bay for sure! I am so sick about it!! Having a 2 yr old is much harder than I ever anticipated!!! On the upside--she doesn't have any cavities! :)

minutes before it happened--having a princess party with Abbie:

What about Jack?

So Jack had his doctor's apointment on Monday and he is 14.5 pounds!!! He is 24.5 inches long! He is such a big boy! Bailey was 11 lbs 6 oz and 23 inches at 2 months! I just can't get enough of him! He follows my voice and follows me around the room. He giggles and coos, and he smiles at me all the time. He loves Bailey and always smiles at her and when he hears her he tries to find her. His neck is super strong, I think and he is holding his head up great! I cannot believe he is so old!!! ha ha...2 months! BUt it goes by fast!

The zoo, tu-tu's, lil jack-poo, being 2, and shoes...

Jack in the bath (he is almost too big for it)


I love this picture...he is always making this lil face :)

Bay after her bath

Oh so cute...

Wearing daddy's shoes

falling down...

shaking out her energy before church...dancing

still dancing

smiley boy

so cute

yummy candy necklace

yummy chin

she got a new tu-tu

Bailey in the morning--every morning...

baby Jack at the zoo

baby giraffe at the zoo

teddy bear day at the zoo and yes, it was chilly--IN AUGUST!


Just random pics of recent...not much to say! Oh, I will share a story: Bryson was telling Bay that she was "number 1" and she said, "No, I two!" So Bryson agreed, "Yes, you are two years old," with a chuckle. "You say I was one, Daddy?" With a giggle and making fun of her daddy gettin it wrong.
I really wish I could remember everything she says, because it cracks me up. She is really into trying on shoes these days and being "a princess" and wearing her church shoes--ALWAYS--even though they hurt her feet! Such a girl! Jack is all boy, on the other hand! He is very chunky and delicious! I love him! And his smiles and little giggle melt me!
