Finally!!! Back to blogging!!!

Well, we have a new internet service provider, & it has never felt so good!!! Not only do we save $40 every month, but now I can get on to my blog and other sites that I wasn't able to get to before because our connection was slow. So, I am back! I know everyone gave up on reading my blog anyway, so I guess I am just writing to myself.
So much has happened in those few short months of not getting onto the blog. Both LeCount and I were laid off within 2 weeks of each other (LeCount on August 17th, and me on September 5th). Now we are both at home with the girls. Just spending time together as a family, as we look for work.
Yesterday, I took Jaden to celebrate Kacey (her cousin)'s birthday. It was a girls day on the town. They got t-shirts made. Jaden's says "that's how I roll" and it has a big wheel on it. Then, they went to Build A Bear. Jaden got a puppy that she named "time" (don't ask me where she came up with that name; I have no idea). She dressed her in a cheerleading outfit. Then, as if that wasn't enough for one day, we headed over to Gatti town. Jaden had a blast with her cousin and friends. She rode rides and played games, plus ate a lot of pizza (and drank a lot of drink). By the time we left there & got in the car, Jaden was sound asleep within 5 minutes (and out for the whole night).
We have been doing a lot of fun things together as a family, and now that I can get on the blog, I will be updating this regularly with pictures & blogs. So, save this blog in your favorites! Talk to you soon!!

Birthday time is almost here!

The time is getting near. Jaden will be 3 years old in less than a month. This weekend we picked up some things for her party, and we came up with a date: August 4th from 4pm to 7pm. Now we have to figure out the rest. I would really like to get a bounce house, but they are so expensive (even to rent)- plus, it will be hot outside in August, so I don't know if it will even be worth it. Anyway, I do have the invitations, goody bags, candy, cups, plates, decorations & a pinata (all Dora of course)... so, I guess I have time to figure out the rest.


This weekend she decided that she needed to make a picture with gitter glue- it got everywhere... including her hair!!! No more glue for her :0) She just thinks of herself as so grown up. She can dress herself completely (though she gets frustrated sometimes) & likes to help fold the laundry.


Morgan rolled over for the 1st time a week or so ago- she has been rolling non-stop ever since. For someone that can't crawl yet, she is very mobile!!! She is in awe of her big sister & thinks everything that Jaden does is the funniest thing she has ever seen. She will be 6 months in 2 weeks!!


It will be fun to have family and friends over for the party. I hope everyone can come! See you soon!!

Summer is here!

Hi, everyone! It has been forever since I put anything in here, I know. Our internet at home doesn't let me in the blogspot at all (and I don't know how to fix it)... so, I am catching a couple of minutes at work to make an entry (shhhhhh). The girls are doing well. We are excited for Jaden's birthday coming up August 5th. I don't know what we are going to do for it yet, but it will be fun :0) She really keeps us on our toes- she locked herself in the bathroom the other day, so that was an adventure. Ha, ha, ha... Of course, it wasn't funny at the time.
LeCount took Morgan to the doctor yesterday (she has an ear infection)- she weighed in at 14 pounds 10 ounces!! Go, Morgan!! And today is her 5 month birthday :0) I will upload more pictures when I can figure out how to get on this site from home, so stay tuned. For now, I have to get back to work. Talk to everyone later!

Ok, this whole blogspot will take some work, but I am working on it. I have added a few pictures, and I will keep adding the commentary. The girls are doing great! Jaden is able to name shapes when you point them out (triangle, star, etc), and she has been counting for awhile. When we read a bedtime story, she will stop me so that she can count all of the animals on the page, or the stars on the page- whatever it is, she wants to count it. She has been getting the hang of her tricycle, and almost has the peddling part down (she just goes in reverse).
As you can see by the pictures, Morgan has been busy, too. She spends time in her exersaucer trying to stand up and get her toys. Her all time favorite thing right now is to watch her mobile in her crib, and talk to the bears as they go around in circles above her head. She gets so excited!! Stay tuned for more!

April 21, 2007

Hi, everyone~ This is our first blog!! I am going to try to keep up with this every few days or so and update the pictures as well. Just add this to your favorites, and check in with us every now and then. Our family is doing well. We are oh so blessed to have 2 healthy, beautiful girls!! The big news for the month is that on April 1st, 2007, Jaden at 2 1/2 years old became officially potty-trained! Morgan, who is now 2 1/2 months old, is trying to be grown, too- she has teeth coming in & wants to be sitting or standing all of the time! I am keeping this little blog short & sweet, but I will keep on keeping in touch. Stay tuned for the pictures!
