Jayci has an announcement

Arizona- my favorite place to be in the spring!

My mom and I took a trip to Arizona last week for my Spring break (from preschool and tumbling). We drove 13 hours to get there and 13 back, but it was worth it! I love Arizona in the spring. It was perfect weather (upper 70's) and perfect company (Mom, Julie, Nick, and kids). Chad couldn't come because he needed to work; he's such a good guy. I get to go play while he works. Thanks, Chad!

Here's a little tidbit of our trip.

Here's Jayci during a break from the long drive. She was so happy to get out and play in the dirt. Pants-less because she kept wetting through her diaper since we didn't stop much. All in all she did really well in the car- I was worried.

This was at the Phoenix zoo. It was really big, and a sweet zoo. This was the giraffes in a natural looking habitat. I always love watching giraffes.

We had a fire outside Julie's and I thought Jayci was so cute in this little chair. She loved it.


Fun at the park

Perfect weather for a nice long walk

Getting a photo of all the kids- yes, this was the best one

This was a sweet park we went to. These slides were pretty jerky, I tried them.

This was the first time Jayci's been swimming, she really liked it.

Eric coming down the water slide. Julie and I went down the slides a little later. The green slide was pitch black inside, it's pretty scary, but real fun. We couldn't believe Eric dared go down it!

basking in the lazy river- the babies weren't so thrilled.

Julie and me with the younger kids. Cole and Eric were off playing the whole time, it was a perfect place for their age.

This was such a fun water park and it only cost $1.50! That's my kind of recreation.

I tried to get Jayci to wear her glasses for this picture to look like last years, but she wouldn't have it.

Cute little sun bather

Julie has such a perfect yard for little kids. It's all walled in and the back door opens right out to it. it's got a trampoline and swing set. Jayci was in heaven, she LOVES to swing!

Thanks Julie and Nick! It was such a great vacation!!!

More of Jayci

This is how I do Jayci's hair a lot these days because her curls make her hair really crazy on top. So as long as I tame the top, the rest is pretty cute with her curly hair. A lot of days I don't get around to doing it though, so it's just crazy.

Jayci's sporting a cute little bow made by my friend, Jill. It's hard to get her to keep them in, but I've been pretty successful lately when I put them in with a ponytail. As long as she doesn't discover them, she keeps them in. Anyway, she has a few more cute bows from her, too. They are really cute and unique and a good price. Here's her website if you would like some cute little bows. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6710269


What are you looking at?


I just thought she looked so cute in this little outfit. She's growing up so much lately!

Jayci loves to get into my socks while I'm folding laundry. She loves to put the long ones around her neck like scarves. I put these on her arms and legs and she thought it was great!
