New York & Orlando

Kevin, his mom and sister Becky headed out on Saturday to Paris...haha. Nope they didn't make the flight. So then I worked and rerouted them to get them to JFK where we knew they would have to stay at least one night and then we would try and get them out to Paris. So they had the evening and next day.

They went to Time Square and then out to Lady Liberty.

 But looking at flights there was NO WAY I was going to be able to get them to Paris. So because no one wanted to be going to Orlando with a Hurricane close by it was wide open. So away they went.

They went to Universal Studios where they went into the land of Harry Potter

 And Kev got to see is favorite person... Spiderman

 Even pose with him! Now he has a comic book cover with him and Spiderman.... my response.... You're a dork! His reponse... I told my mom that is what you would say. Love ya hun.

Then the next day they went to Disney World.... and it was Karen's birthday! Happy Birthday Karen!

It wasn't Paris but they still had fun. And I was grateful they were in the states because then I could still talk to my husband! Glad he is home!

Prego Pictures of Melissa

On Friday I decided I wanted some pictures of Melissa to put up at her shower the next day. So We got her ready, took her up to the park and got a couple of pictures.

We got some good ones and Liss is pretty excited for this little man Jake to get here in October.

Nap time & other stuff

It was almost 10 this morning and therefore nap time. I asked Jana if she was ready for her nap. She started laughing and booked it to go up the stairs. She went up the stairs as fast as she could and I gave her the bink and her dog. She laid down and didn't make a peep. I guess I am not the only one who looks forward to nap time each day. :)

I need to add a couple other cute things that happened today. (Luckily it was a good day)

I was getting Jana in the car and it was hot in there. I said oh it's hot. She started blowing like she does on hot food.

She is missing her sister. My background picture on my phone is the two girlies. She kept taking my phone and would walk around kissing her sister's face. She did this all day.

Last night after dinner she started heading for the stairs. She went up to the bathroom and then was trying to take her clothes off. I guess she has the routine down as well as I do. After dinner is bath time.

She was so loving today. She kept giving kisses and hugs all day. Grandma and Grandpa Taylor watched her for a while when I worked. Then we stayed and had dinner. She kept going up to Grandma and Granpa and hugging and kissing them as well.

She is learning how to eat with a spoon. She does okay some times. She is funny because sometimes it is to hard so she picks the food up with her fingers and puts it on the spoon. But she is getting it.... she is much messier this way though.

She loves drinking, carrying and having water bottles. She kept stealing water bottles at Grandma's house. As I was watching her she couldn't get the lid off so she would have one of us take the lid off. But she would want to hold the lid. At least three times she was able to get the lid back on the bottle. She didn't get on really tight but she got it on. I was pretty impressed with my little one.

Basically it was a good day! Love my little girl.

New dress

Jana was wearing a dress she had never worn before to church today. While sitting in church I noticed the front of her dress was laying funny on her. I started feeling around and noticed that there was a matching diaper cover attached inside the dress. I quickly pulled it off, and put them on her. I am a bright one. 

First day of 2nd grade!

Today is Danniqa's first day of 2nd grade! She is so excited. Today was the first time that we have made it over to her mom's house to be there and take her to school Kev usually just sees her a couple of days later. But we got up, got ready and headed over.

 Her and Jana on the way over to school. We didn't get Jana out of the car at her mom's so this had to do.

 A picture with Dad. First time for a first day! He was pretty excited to be there.

I am so proud of this little one. She is such a hard worker and does so well in school! Can't wait to see what this year brings!

Back to school Picnic

We had a back to school picnic at the spooky forest park. We had Danniqa and her mom asked us to take Makayla up as well. So we grabbed a pizza and headed up. Danniqa was excited to see and play with friends.

Then she got to meet her teacher. Her teacher is new to the school this year. She has Ms. Hamilton. They divided out into their classes and got to meet and play.

 Her teacher is the one in the green and her aid is the one in the blue.

 Their class played red rover. (As a side note I hate this game. I have bad memories of being clothes-lined playing.) Danniqa had a ton of fun and is excited to start school!

Hair

She doesn't sit still long once she gets out of the high chair but we have being doing some fun things with little girls hair. I put her in the high chair when I do it and make sure she has treats and toys. She is doing a lot better about letting me do her hair. However, if we miss a day with rubber bands the next time is harder. But it stays nice so much longer when it is pulled back.

 


She was made at me in this one because she wanted the phone and she couldn't have it.

When we are all done I have to hold her up so she can see her hair. When I do she is much better about leaving it alone and not pulling it out.
