Lots and lots of bday pics

Blowing out her two birthday Candles :) I helped a little

She was being really funny with the cupcake she didn't want to hold it because she didn't want to get frosting on her hands :)

Jayden Janel turns 2 :)

We had a wonderful day celebrating Jayden's 2nd birthday. On Sunday March 20th 2 days before her actual birthday we had family and friends over for some homemade pizza and some cupcakes! It was tons of fun and she was very excited to have people over! Thank you to Mike, Ann, Jarom and Mitchell (Aunt, Uncle and cousins who live just a few minutes away), Carli & Travis (Cousins who live about 20 minutes away), Neighbor Mary and her daughter Jaidyn, and Josh & Julia who were in town visiting from Wisconsin. All who came to celebrate her birthday and spend time with us! We loved having everyone and wished more family and friends could have been here.

On Tuesday March 22nd her actual birthday we went to Chuck E Cheese's we got pizza and tokens, she had lots of fun playing. Luckily Mike, Ann, Jarom and Mitchell were able to join us too! :) A big thank you to all who send cards and gifts for sweet Jayden she seriously LOVED all she received!

Can't believe our baby girl is 2!! She is so big and has changed so much and is so smart! She talks ALL the time and says so many words. She can repeat ANYTHING you say. She is in this kick where she says REALLY REALLY alot. Examples: Really Really stuck, or Really really sticky, or Really really hot. it's so funny. She can say the sounds that these animals make: Pig, Whale, Cow, Sheep, Dog, Monkey, Cat, Frog, Horse Duck and Penguin (she says Waddle waddle and she waddles showing me what a penguin does :) it's very cute) Car (says beep beep).

She can count to 14 which is so fun!

She LOVES nursery we have great leaders and great kids in there with her. She isn't sad at all to go in although is happy to see us when we come get her after two hours. Hopefully that will last forever and she wont mind going to primary when the time comes! :)

She still prays often and has reminded me at night time if I haven't prayed with her. She is just too cute.

She loves the temple and always points to the picture of the Salt Lake Temple in her bedroom and just talks quietly about the temple.

She adores babies, is so sweet and loving to them. She will make a wonderful big sister someday!

There are so many things she does and I haven't blogged about all the things she does, I know I am missing many things!!

We are so blessed to have such a sweet daughter who is so kind and loving. She is so special and we just love having her!

Love you Jayden! Happy 2nd Birthday!!

Ducks

 Watch "Jj: Duck-quack quack" on YouTube 

Didn't catch her in time..

Jayden LOVES to draw! Can you tell by the beautiful drawings on her legs?!? Good thing she is so cute! She was playing in my room and I was sitting at the computer which I hardly ever do unless she is napping. While I am on the computer she found my pen next to my bed and she had a blast as you can tell.

California

Wow so much time has passed since I last posted.

We are now living in Vista California. Which is just north of San Diego and about a 10-15 minute drive to the beach, which we are so loving!

We are living in a two bedroom apartment close to where Denny's current job location is where he is training to become a Personal Banker. Which I believe he is close to being done with his training! Yay! We love being out on our own again. loving the weather and our ward. They have been so great!

Our place is almost put together! Just the last few boxes that need organized and put away and all pictures hung except what will go in our bedroom. We have a little balcony where Jayden loves to play. Mostly she plays with her tea set, but also takes her babies out there too.

Jayden and I go for walks every day. sometimes twice a day. We walk to go get the mail and then sometimes we are out for 10 minutes other times it is 45. She LOVES being outside.

We are all adjusting well to a new place. Which is easy to do when it is such beautiful weather! Right now it is 9:15 and it is 62* out! SO NICE!! It will be around 77* today! IN JANUARY!! I am absolutely loving it!!

I will be playing catch up with things I haven't posted, mostly for the record for myself and if I have any readers out there it will be for you too ;)

All about Jayden

Jayden can do sooo many things now and say sooo many things! AMAZING!!

She sign:
Milk, more, please, thank you, friend, book, ball, drink, eat, all done, stop, go, mommy, daddy, and I am pretty sure there are more.

she can also say all of the above words and tons more! She can repeat just about anything, she loves counting. She can count to 12 usually 6, 8 and 11 are missing. Pretty good for an almost two year old!

Jayden loves animals, especially dogs and cats or as she says doggy and kitty, the barks and says meow all the time when she sees pictures of them. She can also recognize the pictures and say what they are for Rhino's, Hippo's, Giraffes, Monkey's, Sheep, Cows, Turtles, Snakes, Leopards, Pandas, Bears, Bunnies, and I can't think of more but I know there are more! She is very smart!

She loves nursery and does great. All the leaders say how good she is and of course how cute she is too. :O)

She is our little angel and makes life so much fun. She loves to eat, play and help mommy in the kitchen. She likes to wear her little apron every time I put mine on. She asks me to turn on music lots, asks to watch movies all the time. Her favorite Characters are Buzz, Woody, Jessie (from Toy Story). Charlie and Lola. Dora. Elmo. She has only seen some of them once but she has stickers and that's how she knew the characters names. So cute!! which reminds me she also LOVES stickers!!

She can sing so many songs.. to add to her list: Away in a Manger, Jingle Bells,

She runs, sings, plays all day long! She LOVES babies and is such a good mom. She rocks, signs to them, feeds them in a high chair, takes them for walks in the stroller around the house, puts them to bed, wipes pretend drool off their chin and sings to them. It is the cutest thing ever!

Jayden is just growing up so fast! It is so fun and yet sad to see her changing!
