Merry Christmas

We went to Palm Springs today to visit Grandma and Grandpa! It was a wonderful time as always. My favorite is when we get a smile from Grandma!

Santa Baby

Last night we went to our ward party and then to Follow the Star- A Live Nativity. We had a great time, its hard to believe that a year ago Jadyn was playing the baby Jesus in the play. She loved the animals! Santa on the other hand... wasn't too big of a fan.

My Santa Baby :)

 I could honestly kiss her cheeks all day long!

Thanksgiving

It started out with some family tennis

We took family pictures (those to come later)

We were all in charge of a dish or two so we cooked together and then enjoyed our feast! 

LOVES

Jadyn is so love able, I love her hugs and kisses. It melts my heart- except when she denies me haha but she did return! Please ignore my crazy voice- it's so embarrassing listening and hearing what I sound like! oh well- I have to show Nana, Grampy, the aunties and cousins all the love they are going to get pretty soon.

Phone Favorites!!!

Im so glad I have a phone that takes pictures because I capture some pretty fun spur of the moment moments. With that said I take probably 10 of her a day! :) I need to cut back but I just think everything she does is the cutest! These are my latest favorite pics ...

byebye

Jadyn always grabs whatever purse is around, puts it on her shoulder, walks to the garage door while waving and saying byebye. The best part is whenever she says byebye its in this high voice. So funny, I don't know where she got that. She is doing new, funny things everyday and it just kills us. We are having so much fun with her.  I like to post the videos just for Nana and Grampy!

Bosu Ball

Jadyn loves the bosu ball! It was one of the first things she went on when she could walk. She always sees Grandpa jumping rope on it so she tries...




Here is just for your entertainment, its when she was first trying it out (this was awhile ago)

Bonfire

A few weeks ago we randomly decided to have a bonfire! A FHE bonfire. It was so beautiful out and the second we got down to the beach a big fog layer came in. It was a little disappointing but we still had fun. Bonfires are one of my favorite things ever!

It all started with this...

Sometimes on Sunday mornings I just gotta let her do whatever she wants to do in order for me to get ready for church. :)

Then I called my mom up to help me figure out something for Jadyn to wear for church because well nothing really fits her anymore. I wanted someone else to tell me that she didn't have any clothes that fit her so I knew that I really DO NEED to go buy her some new clothes. My mom was looking through everything and she said, why do u still have all these clothes hanging when they don't fit her. I replied, "I just can't bring myself to go through her closet  (clearly - it was a mess) because its too sad. For some reason it just makes me so sad when she grows out of clothes. I know Im weird. It's a good, happy thing that she is growing and getting bigger but its sad because then she won't be my little baby anymore. So on Monday I brought myself to do it and spent the day cleaning out her closet and drawers.

              

I should have taken an after picture.

 So now that her closet is empty... you know what that means.... SHOPPING TRIP!!!

I usually hate shopping but for someone reason when its for her I don't mind it. I hate spending the money but its funnier shopping for her than I. 

Halloween Fun

One night before we picked up Brandon from work J and I first stopped by a little "Pumpkin Farm" by our house. They had some piggies, a goat and sheep. J would go up to the cages and growl. It cracked me up when she was trying to heavy lift the pumpkins. She does it all the time with our five pound weights but the pumpkins weigh a little more than that...  :) 

Pumpkin Carving

Brandon being the sweet, thoughtful guy that he is, came home from work one day with a big pumpkin and a baby pumpkin for us to all carve together. Jadyn wasn't to fond of all the yucky stuff inside but she wanted to keep putting the seeds in her mouth. She absolutely LOVES pumpkins! She goes around to the ones around the house and points and says ball ball ball etc But she especially loves the ones we carved. They usually sit on the counter, and she will stand right by them, point and whine until I set them down on the ground for her. Then she plays with them. She honestly LOVES them, its so funny to see how happy she gets and how much fun she has with them. 

Let the carving begin...

Trunk or Treat

My little bumble bee

Everyone loved this little bumble bee prancing around! She loved walking with all the other kids in the parade. We went around to about 5 cars while she carried around her bucket like a purse! She loved to receive the candy in her hand and put it in her bucket herself! Speaking of candy... Aunty Chelsea says to her "You want candy... heres some M&M's and hands her black beans. haha I wonder how long she will believe that??? So this halloween season Jadyn is loving her black bean candies!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Irvine Regional Park for the Pumpkin Patch- we took a walk around the lake, went through a little haunted house, played with the pumpkins, and took pictures! Jadyn loved sticking her head in the photo booth things. 

 Sometimes I really think Im going to eat her face because I think she is so cute!

 The best kisses ever!

Waving to everyone behind her on the train
