Jay's Visit with Santa

For the past week I have been trying to hype up Santa with Jay. I have even been showing him an Elmo movie with Santa in it. Well, it didn't work. Here are the 2 pictures we got. He cried so hard, he even had tears. We are going to try again on Friday at Disneyland with Taner.


Any suggestions on how to get the perfect picture with Santa, remember he is only 16 months

Play Date With All The Babies

On Thursday, Brittany drove to my mom's house with Cailey. It was so fun to have all the babies together!

Since Jay will not be home for Christmas, he and Cailey exchanged gifts early. He got an Elmo book and Elmo flashlight. All the kids LOVED the flashlight. (Jay won't put it down)

Merry Christmas early!!!

Saying Good-bye is so hard to do.

Mommy's Friend Alison and her family have decided to re-locate in Arizona. We are going to miss them so much. Jay and Violette had their last lunch date :(
Here are some cute pictures.

Miss Violette




Look at how messy Jay got. But, mommy was smart and brought him an extra shirt.



We wish the Neilson's luck,love and happiness. Come see us soon!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! (a little late)

This year we went to visit Jay's Grandpa and GG for Thanksgiving in Tennessee. We took a red-eye flight there which was nice because Jay slept the whole way! He actually is a good traveler. That was the 3rd time he has flown cross-country and he has done great everytime. Thank goodness for Uncle Brad's portable DVD player, and the lovely person who is Elmo for a living! We love both of you!
Here is a picture of my Dad and Step-Mom's house in Tennessee. This if from there living room!!

If you notice in the middle, Jay had his own glass of sparkling cider for our toast. We all went around the table and said what we are thankful for. We all agreed, family was #1.

Here's Dad carvin' away!!!

Daddy and Jay were so tired from traveling, and hungry too!

Jay was the fifth generation to eat a Thanksgiving meal on that same table. Pretty cool!

(sorry the picture is sideways)

This is where George spent Thanksgiving dinner, very THANKFUL Jay was there!!!

The next day Grandpa couldn't wait to take Jay to the Pro Bass Shop to see the huge aquariam inside. They watched the fish together for awhile.

We will post some more pictures as soon as we get them. We hope everyone had a great Day!!!

Update on Lily

Today we had our 18 week ultra-sound to check on Lily's growth. She is measuring in at 18.5 weeks. She weighs a 1/2 pound right now, and her heart is beating
150 beats per minute. Every thing looks great. Here are some new pictures of our princess!!!!

(If you look on the picture it should say in the left hand upper corner what the picture is of.)





Her official due date is now April 20, 2008. I am guessing somewhere around the
14th she will be here!!!

Meeting Cousin Meg

Our second night in N.C. we drove from Raleigh to Charlotte. There was a Rat Dog show Arendall wanted to see. Marian, Arendall's sister, and our new neice Meg drove from Maggie Valley to spend the night with us. We were really glad they made the trip so we could meet our Meg. Marian and I hung out all night while Arendall was out dancing. Here are some cute pictures.

Uncle Randy and Aunt Susan's Farm

We took a trip to N.C. for a few days to visit family and just hang out.
We spent some time on Uncle Randy and Aunt Susan's Farm in Raleigh. Jay had a blast with the animals. Especially their dog Amy. Here are some of our favorite pictures.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Last night was a lot of fun. We took Jay trick or treating for the very first time. He wasn't too sure what to make of it, but he looks cute in his costume!!!


You would think his Dad's crazy costume would have scared him. Jay actually thought Daddy looked funny.


Daddy also thought since Jay did all the treak or treating that he deserved a treat. (chocolate is not an everyday occurance at our house)


We hope every one had a happy and safe Halloween!!!!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Arendall, Jay and I couldn't be happier with news of our new baby girl. We said we were done after 2 regardless of the sex of this baby. What a true blessing to be able to have one of each!
Here are some pictures of our little princess.

We love her already.

Chuckie Cheese

Since the fires, Jay has been pretty much quarantined to the house. Especially with his asthma we are worried with all the smoke. So today we decided to take Jay to Chuckie Cheese and just let him run around like crazy. He was not to sure as to what to make of it all. Here is a picture of him riding with the mouse. This was taken right before he started crying.

and then there is this one! I think we will wait until he is a little older before we take him back!!!!
