Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day! We started off the day with our good friends Brian and Becca and their little girl Cameron coming over! Jillian and Cameron had fun playing together.


Here is sweet Cameron! She was just a doll.


Jillian did plenty of showing off! She wasn't shy at all and wanted to be the center of attention!



Brian and Becca are such dog lovers so Scooter always wants to be right next to them.


Later that day we went to another friend's house and the girls got to swim! This was Jillian's first time in the pool and she loved it! I couldn't resist putting this picture in here...her expression just makes me laugh.
Kennedy and Kaitlyn having fun in the MANY pools that were set up!



She stayed in this little pool for almost an hour! She was so excited to be in the water.




Sand box time!


All three of my girlies!


Jillian has been learning her body parts...her tongue, eyes, hair etc. Well, apparently she found her new friend's nose!
Chillin'



Loved the swing! This little girl had tons of fun today!


We had hamburgers on the grill...good food and good company. The girls were tired when we got home and were all asleep fast! :)

Summer's here

I haven't posted in a while it seems! The end of school is always a busy time, but it's OVER! School officially ended on Friday so we are free for the summer! Today we got to try the new Chick fil a SPICY chicken sandwich! Since Tony works there part time now, they opened the store (on a Sunday!) just for employees and their family. We all went and tried it out! YUM!!! It's very very spicy, but very very good! It officially comes out June 7!
We got home and the twins got a chance to run through the sprinkler and cool off. Man, it's HOT outside and it's only May! Sweet Jillian is going to be turning ONE very soon! June 10! I can't believe it. She is growing up way too fast. (Don't they all?) .

11 months

Well....our sweet Jillian is 11 months old! Only 1 short month away from one year!! I can't believe it. She is pure joy and a bundle of sweet sweet sugar! She has done a lot this past month and she is quickly becoming a toddler and less of a little baby.




Here are some new things about Jillian this month:

* She crawls, pulls up and cruises around furniture with ease.

*She now bends down to pick things up and can stand by herself not holding on to anything!(when she wants to)

*Has dropped 2 feedings, so she just nurses in the morning and at night. She flat refuses any bottle now, so now we give her real milk in a sippy and more food during the day and she loves it!!

*She only wants table food now. She will eat some baby food, but she really wants the "big girl stuff".

*New signs this month: bath, hat, milk

*claps her hands!!!! She LOVES to clap and gets excited when you sing "pat-a-cake" or "If you're happy and you know it...." She claps right along with you!

*can show you her tongue when you ask her to and we are working on "nose"

*Loves being outside!

*says dog, dada and mama. She also says "ssss" for her Sophie the giraffe toy.

*she is learning how to blow kisses! Too cute! She loves to give kisses to her baby dolls!

*will not keep anything on her head...no bows or hats! I did put her hair up in a little rubber band and she tolerated that well.

*she loves playing with the play kitchen upstairs (mostly, throwing all the play food off!)

* pretends to talk on the phone (she holds the phone to her ear)

* she is very interested in doors and goes to each door and pushes it to try to open it! She loves it when the door actually opens!

*climbs the stairs like a pro and is working on "bumping" down the stairs.

We love our little Jilly bean!

Mother's Day

My sweet girlies! (Kaitlyn, Jillian, Kennedy)

Mother's day started out with breakfast in bed by my sweet children! They made me eggs, toast and coffee! It was delicious! :) Then we went to church and ate lunch at my mom's house. We had a wonderful meal and got a chance to love on all the moms there!


Kaitlyn and mommy reading


My mom and Kennedy! Such a fun Grandma and wonderful mother!

Ball pit fun!

Kennedy and Kaitlyn asked me to get out the ball pit today....got some cute pictures. (We got this when the twins were 18 months old and it was one of their favorite toys ever!) This was Jillian's first time to be in it and she loved it! In this picture, Tony had just gotten home from work and came up the stairs. You can tell by their faces, they were super happy to see him!!


Got 2 out of 3 to look up at me! (Kennedy, Kaitlyn, Jillian)


Big smiles from little one!!


I'm glad we got a big ball pit! It fits them all perfectly!


Just another shot looking down at them!


This picture doesn't have anything to do with the ball pit, but thought it was cute that I had 2 little princesses washing dishes.
