My baby is 2!

I can't believe that my sweet baby is 2! Jenna turned 2 on July 28th. I have enjoyed every minute of her life! I love that she is my last one, but I don't want her to grow too fast.

Jenna is so unique! She has been not fond of strangers (or anyone other than Mom, Dad, and sisters and brother) from 4 mo. old. She gives great dirty looks. But at the same time she is so dang sweet! She has the cutest dimple on her right upper cheek and I love when she shows it with a smile! Lately she has learned to open doors. It's actually a good thing. Now I don't have to get up every time she wants to go downstairs. She even opened her bedroom door today with a little nudge from me. Now she can just get up from her nap and come find me.


Here she is showing off Kylee's present to her. A crocheted bracelet.

I love when they get so excited to open presents.

She loved her new "baby". Thankfully, this replaced her binky. The day after her birthday I told her she was too big for a binky and asked her to throw it away. She did and hasn't had it since. She has only asked for it a few times and hasn't thrown a fit for it at all. What a good girl.

I tried to make it look like a flower. I'm not so good at that stuff, but Jenna loved the bright colors and I loved the cream cheese icing!

I think she had a good birthday!

This was last night at Jer's softball game. She decided to put it on backwards. She so dang cute!

The last day! Pioneer day Celebrations!

We got to celebrate pioneer day while in Nevada. Jer's Mom and Dad's ward celebrated by having a kids parade, playing games and eating yummy food! Here are a few pictures.

Everybody loved how we decorated!

Roping a bull! The kids loved this!

They all had to cheat though. They put the rope on then, stood back and pretended that they threw it on!

Friday night, grandma and I went to a ladies house and together we made 8 apple pies! They have a crumb topping instead of pastry and were so dang yummy!

Kylee was so excited to play volleyball with the grown ups. At first she wasn't sure what she could do, but later got the hang of it.

This nice man in Grandmas ward helped all the kids get at least one hit.

Just Chillin with Grandma

Other than many mosquito bites in spite of spray, and 4 diaper changes, we had a great time!

Crazy Logan!

I don't know if being around so many uncles made Logan even more crazy, but he sure kept us on our toes while we were at Grandma's house! Grandma was so awesome and let Jer and I have a late celebration for our Anniversary the first Friday and Saturday that we were there. We went up to Reno and went on some go carts and to a cool concert, then stayed at the, empty right now, condo and watched a movie and played games together.

While we were gone Logan was playing throw your head down on your pillow and missed and hit the bed frame. He got a nice scratch and bump on his nose, right between his eyes. You can still see it in this picture.The next week we went bowling and he slipped and fell. He said he was fine and he didn't cry or anything, but later his face began to swell. We realized he had hit his tooth on the bowling ball. I called our dentist here and he assured me he would be o-k, just to give him something for the swelling so it didn't affect his other teeth.

THEN- on the Saturday before we left, he was sitting on a stool by Summer and she helped him fall off and he hit his chin on the seat and split it right open! It didn't bleed much, but I knew that he would need stitches. So we found a place that would accept our insurance and he went to get stitches.

He was so funny! He was making everyone laugh. He told one lady that he has two dads and one mom. Jeremy asked him, "Where's your other Dad?" and he says "Um, he died." We all laughed!

After the shot to make him numb, he said,
"It's like my eyes are crying. There is water in my eyes." Again, we all laughed! He ended up with 3 stitches. The first and I'm sure not the last of our visits for cuts or broken bones.
