Long Hot Summer

Is it just me...or did summer pass wayyy toooo quickly? I can't believe it's already the middle of September! This summer was so much fun! Pool parties, beach days and vacations ~ no wonder it passed so quickly!

Lexi was in town for almost two full weeks and we had so much fun with her and of course the cousins! Jayden even had her first trip to Knotts Berry Farm! 

Too bad she was too small for any of the rides and of course when we went on the Merry-Go-Round she was passed out in her stroller and I didn't want to wake her...instead, I went on and Lexi convinced me to ride the camel because we were there on a Wednesday....and if you know my husband...than you have probably received his infamous weekly Geico "hump day" text message :) LOL

I rocked the kiddie rides in Camp Snoopy with Bryson & Hunter...pretty sure we went on this tug boat ride about 10 times in a row! They didn't even want to go on at first...and as soon as they did, they wanted to go again...and again...and again! LOL

And I'm pretty sure this lovely pic my mom took was supposed to be of me and the boys...too bad she only caught me on the ride ... so it looks like I enjoy riding camp snoopy rides solo...thanks mom! 

After a LOONNNGGGGGG HOTTTTTTTT day...my mom took all the kids (a 4 year old, a 2 year old and two 6 month old babies) to my big sister's house and watched them while Lexi & I rode all the roller coasters :) Whoop Whoop! 

And I know I'm a few weeks too late...but Labor Day Weekend was so much fun! Since it was almost a million and a half degrees...we spent everyday either at the beach or in the pool @ the in-laws! 

Beach time!!!! Jayden chillin' with her "twin" cousin <3

Is she a doll or what? :)



Swimming with Grandpa in the car floatie!!
Beep beep :)

In the jacuzzi with mommy & daddy!
She did awesome floating on her back & even going under the water!

Going down the waterside in Palm Springs with daddy :) LOL
Too bad Jayden couldn't see where she was going since her hat was over that cute little face haha

EXHAUSTED!!

I never knew Jonathan had this cute pic on his phone...

good thing I stole his phone and found it :)

Jibber Jabber Jayden

Tonight when trying to think about what to name my post, I felt it appropriate to title it "Jibber Jabber Jayden" as the past few mornings I've woken up to my new alarm clock ~ Jayden talking to herself :)

For the past few mornings, around 6:00 AM I hear my sweet darling next to me in her cradle talking to herself...not fussing, not crying...just jibber jabbering away. I sat in bed for a solid 45 minutes both mornings just enjoying it. Yesterday I nudged Jonathan to wake him up to make sure he could hear her...he was already awake listening to her also. I love how we both enjoy small moments like that because we know they pass all too quickly. 

Since I didn't record her in her cradle...I got her in the afternoon cooing as she was falling asleep. Of course the second I said how tired she is, she woke up. 

If you can't tell...she still LOVES sleeping completely bundled up & with a blanket touching her face LOL...talk about particular hahaha ~ she must get that trait from her daddy :) LOL
