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!!!!

Jay's First Pony Ride

On Friday we went back to the pumpkin patch with Daddy. Jay went on his very first pony ride. With Daddy by his side, he had so much fun!!!!




But, his favorite part....... the yellow ball. Garrett has one of these balls. Everytime Jay is at his Auntie's house he looks for it. Low and behold we found one at the pumpkin patch. This kid plays with that ball all day long. What is it with the yellow ball.




We love our little pumpkin!

The Pumpkin Patch

On Friday, Jay and I went to the Pumpkin Patch with Megan and Taner. Jay wasn't too sure how much he liked the scarecrows every where. But, he loved the petting zoo. It was a short trip because we will be going back with Daddy next weekend. Here are a few pictures.

I changed the setting and we are now able to get comments !!!!!!!

There's a Perfect Little Angel in Every Child

What a great book! You know if I am recommending it, it must be awesome. I normally don't read much of anything.

There's a Perfect Little Angel in Every Child teaches you how to disipline your child with love and patience. It also teaches you the difference in Disipline vs. Punishment.

What a great way of thinking. Every Mom, Grandma, Care Giver, or anyone that has a daily interaction with kids, should read this book. I loved it.

It is a short book. 9 chapters. I finished it in a day. If you have a one year old, you know how hard that can be!!!!!! It is easy ready. Anyone can get something from it.

The hardest 3 days....

So, now that Jay is a big boy and he is going to be a big brother, we have known for months it is time for him to start going to sleep on his own. Our normal routine used to include drinking his bottle while listening to lullabies, then snuggling with Mom or be rocked by Mom until he fell asleep. Monday we decided to do it. No more dragging our feet. It's time. My main fear is if I wait too long he will think it's the new baby's fault.

So we are in day two. The first day was not as bad as I thought. But today..... homeboy screamed for about 25 minutes. After laying him back down for the 3rd time he finally fell asleep, an hour later!!!!

My heart breaks because I know the only thing he wants is snuggles from his Mamma! 2 more days, and the hardest 3 will be over. I am counting minutes.
