update on Jayden






My sister Traci asked if I could do a post once a week, whether it's just a picture or something cute Jayden said, so here I go! Week 1!! Hope I can continue this! Traci you better post once a week, Julie you too!!!

Jayden is just as cute as ever! She does and says cute things everyday!

Yesterday we were out walking and she is helping me push her stroller and she says "I'm so strong!" I say Yes Jayden you are so strong! Then she says: "I'm too strong!"

Today after church we are getting in the car and I ask Jayden if she had fun in Nursery and she says: "Played with play-doh's, Colored, Music/Songs(Can't remember which word she used) and ate snacks" - That is the first time she has ever told me what she has done in Nursery! She LOVES nursery! So glad that she goes and loves it! She has wonderful leaders and some friends in there too!

She hugs and kisses my baby bump, she loves the baby!!! She tells him I all the time and when she hugs she almost always says "I'm so sweet". She hugs her toys, dolls and clothes she just has lots of love for everyone and everything! Most toys get hugs and kisses :)

She touches my belly and says "Hi Greyson! He is so cute"

We got Greyson a stuffed Monkey little small one and Jayden carries it around "Greyson's monkey!" she gives it hugs and kisses, taking good care of it until Greyson comes to claim it!

5 Years


August 11th Denny and I had our 5 Year Anniversary!! I can't believe how quickly 5 years has gone! We have lived in 3 States (Idaho, Oregon and California) 5 places we have called home which includes 3 houses, 1 town home and 1 apartment. We have a beautiful 2 year old girl Jayden Janel and a son Greyson Lee who will be joining our family in a few short months. We are so very blessed as we have been married in the temple and have our little ones sealed to us for all time and eternity.

We celebrated Friday the 12th as Denny had worked on our actual anniversary and Jayden goes to bed about 8pm and Denny got home from work about 8:30. We did go get ice cream though :) We went out to eat lunch on Saturday (Jayden came along as we didn't have anyone able to watch her). We went to this yummy Italian place called Buca de Beppo! (Both of us had never been) It was so very yummy and I hope we can go there again! Denny didn't tell me where we were going, so it was a fun surprise. :)

We look forward to the years to come as our family is growing and things are changing! Can't believe we will be a family of 4! Denny started school at the beginning of the month so work and school full time he is very busy! He has a little over a year left and he will have his Bachelor Degree then on to work on his Masters and a PHD in Psychology (Industrial Organizational & Clinical).

Life is busy and hectic at times, but we have lots of fun and are happily living and loving life!

'Play Park'



Jayden loves to go to 'Play Park'. It's actually called Sunset Park, but on Dora they go to Play Park, so that's what she always calls it. It's such a fun park. I went there Friday the 1st of July with Jayden, We went Monday on the 4th of July with Ann, Mike and their boys :) which was a blast we were there for about 4 hours! The kids had lots of fun!
The park is great it has a huge field, Volleyball, sand box, huge play structure (which is shaded, so all the slides and whatnot aren't hot! it's so wonderful!) and a water feature area! Jayden loves the slides and the water. We have gone every day this week, which is great since there isn't much to do at our complex, she has loved to run around. We usually stay for an 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. She never wants to leave. It sure is nice to get some sunshine and have Jayden get out some of her energy, plus it's less than 2 miles from our place! I'm sure we will spend many hours to come there!

Jayden





Some cute photos of Jayden I took from my phone on our drive home from church a couple Sunday's ago :) She is just so cute. Her hair falling out of her braids - I should have taken pics before we left for church when it was all neat haha

Jayden is just getting so big! Sometimes it's hard to remember she is just 2! She is just so cute and sweet of course she has her moments but she is great! We just LOVE her!

She plays very cute, she has a great imagination! I LOVE to listen to her play.

She is so cute and no matter if she says it first or second she will say "I love you too, Mommy" or "I love you too, Daddy" it's just so cute

She was singing Jingle Bells the other day and was saying Tinkerbell instead of Jingle Bell. Haha it was so funny

Jayden watched Peter Pan for the first time on Saturday and now she pretends to fly! It is so funny and cute!

On May 31st Jayden watched Emperors New Groove and keeps saying "Boom Baby!" almost daily! It is so funny

On May 28th Denny, Jayden and I went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 at the movie theater and she LOVED it!! She was clapping, laughing and punching the air while making sound effects :) Seriously so cute! She also enjoyed a Zap pack (The kids combo Popcorn, drink and a fruit snack) I had a coupon that made it only $2 so that was a fun treat that she LOVED! Although she did have about 3 sips of her sprite, I traded it for her water bottle cause soda just isn't good! Especially for a little 2 year old!

16 weeks & 17 weeks

Jayden had to see what I was doing, she is so funny


17 weeks 1 day
(In the first 2 photos my bathroom mirror is all streaky from after the shower haha - It's all clean in the 3rd pic!)

Time is flying by! I am now 17 weeks and 2 days! :) Pregnancy has been great! I am over my morning sickness, I am just almost always very tired. Hopefully that will pass soon. I wasn't this tired this late in my pregnancy that pretty much went away once I was in my 2nd Trimester. So crossing my fingers that will pass soon! Jayden told me the other day (I wish I could remember her exact words) "Mommy's tummy is getting big!" haha!
She went with me to my 16 week check up and we listened to the baby's heartbeat and she said "Baby is too loud!" It was just the cutest thing! Love that girl!
We find out on the 29th of this month if we are having a girl or a boy! Can't wait for the 29th to get here!!!
A few weeks ago I asked Jayden if there was a boy or a girl she says "A lion!" haha she has also said "a boy and a girl" - Just repeating what I asked. So who knows!! haha
