Birthday party pics......

We had Jaylen's party on Saturday & she had a great time. She wasn't too crazy about everyone sitting around watching her open the presents so I opened pretty much all of them. She wasn't too interested in her cake & ice cream either. I think she just wanted to play with her friends & cousins more than anything! It ended up being a great time & she loves all her new toys & gifts she got.

She had her 2 year check up this morning too. She weighs 28 lbs (67%) & is 33 in. tall (about 30%). He said she's doing great & she doesn't have to go back till she is 3. She did get a couple shots today & didn't like them but overall did pretty good. I took her to Sonic & let her sit in the front seat with me to eat since she did so good at the doctor. She thought she was pretty big stuff too! We are just so thankful & blessed that she's been such a healthy girl.....she's just got an awesome immune system since she's only had 1 round of antibiotics in her whole 2 years! I just hope Rosson follows in her footsteps!

In chapel at Sonshine School for her birthday...

Getting birthday spankins'......per her request!

The birthday girl!......I made her outfit yes, even the pants! It was my first pair of pants, well really my first attempt at anything with a pattern & I thought it turned out pretty good.

We had a little triplet birthday party on their actual birthday.......so fun to watch them grow up this past year & play together that night!

Jay, Addi, Viv.......cute little 2 year olds!

Jaylen is 2!.......

Yep, that's right. My sweet baby girl turned 2 years old today. She had a great day at Sonshine School, then a quick visit from Grandma, Aunt Myra & Macy & then a fun 'triplet' birthday party tonight with Addi & Viv. Loved watching the girls play together! Her birthday party is on Saturday so it should be fun time with our friends Elmo & Abby Cadabby. She did get to open a couple presents from Gav & I today & one from Jeffrey & Mir last night. She definitely knows what to do when she gets a present! Should be a fun party! The past 2 years feel like they've just flown by to me & it was just yesterday we brought this sweet girl home!

1 month old....

At her 1st birthday.....

Just a couple weeks ago.....

Happy Birthday Jaylen! We love you!

34 weeks.....

My dr's appointment went good yesterday & Rosson sounded great! Jaylen loves listening to his heartbeat at my appointments. At my last 2 checkups, I had measured 4 weeks ahead but he has slowed down a bit now & I am only measuring 1 1/2 weeks ahead. I started having contractions last week but they are just Braxton-Hicks & aren't frequent enough to worry about them yet. She just told me to keep track of them & if they get more regular or start to hurt to call her. I have an ultrasound next Wednesday to get a size estimate of him & just to check things out one last time before he gets here. She said he's still head down & feels like I'll have him around 37 weeks.......that's just 3 weeks away!


His room is finished, car seat installed, bags packed, & his clothes all washed so we're ready for him to get here. We have a diaper shower at Chesapeake on Friday so after that we should be set with diapers for a while as well! So thankful for Gavan's department to give us the shower too. We are all 3 getting pretty excited to meet him, especially his sister! This is a big week for her since she turns 2 tomorrow! She has been saying that she is going to get birthday spankins' instead of hugs from Miss Kathy tomorrow during chapel so we'll see if she goes through with it! The triplets are celebrating their birthday tomorrow night together & then Jaylen's party with the family is on Saturday. I finally get to give her the kitchen we bought her like 3 months ago! It's been hidden in the garage & I've wanted to give it to her since the day we got it!


I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable but still sleeping pretty good so I won't complain. Only one progesterone shot left to go next Tuesday too! A big thanks to Gavan for giving them to me so I don't have to go to the hospital every week just to get a shot. He's done a great job! Here are the most recent prego pics of me. Gotta love the comfort of dresses when you are pregnant!

32 weeks

Jaylen wanted to take my picture & this is it!......just thought it was funny.

Rosson's Baby Shower.....

Some very sweet ladies gave me a baby shower for Rosson & it was just wonderful. I loved everything they did for it & feel so blessed to have such great friends & family who love us & are excited to meet our little guy! My hostesses gave me a double stroller but I don't have a pic of it since it was in the box. I truly appreciate everything you girls did & can't thank you enough! Here are a ton of pics from the day of the shower!

Adorable annoucement....

So glad the triplets were all there & had fun together.....look how big they are! Turning 2 this week!

Looking for trouble?!........

I rode a pony.....

No, I didn't ride a pony or Rosson might already be here! But Jaylen rode her first pony at OC's homecoming last weekend. Actually she rode it 4 times & cried when we finally left! She jumped in her first moon bounce that weekend too. She was more afraid of the moon bounce than the pony too! Chelsea wanted to ride to pony like Jaylen SO bad but just a little too scared. They were so cute playing in the moon bounce & around the ponies though!
