Jaylee Rae



Here are a few newborn shots that I was able to take of Jaylee when I visited.  It was fun to get to capture her at just five weeks.  I wish that I was more of an avid photographer when my children were so, so tiny.  You just forget, don't you?? But, I am looking at it as a chance to share my talents and wonderful software with camera to bless others.  I hope that I am asked to take more pictures of Miss J.  in the future.  We will be able to see her again...oh yeah, and her parents in July for a Welcome to the WORLD party.  That will be fun.  
I just loved seeing her, holding her, making plans of watching Strawberry Shortcake with her...and painting toenails.....I know, I know....not until she's older.  It was also so sweet to watch my boys just want to help out and love her so much.  
Another niece is on the way we hope that she holds out until July. She will be Kylee. So we will have Jaylee and Kylee. Cute, but confusing huh?????Sweet blessings who are already so loved and adored. So fun to buy pink and do girly stuff....don't get me wrong, I love doing worms, farts, burps, potty talk, etc. with my kids.
We love you Jaylee!!!!!

Ohhhhh...potty training and more....


Well...like always it takes me a long while to get things on my blog.  And, it has been so long that my summary seems quite small.
It has been a few weeks, but Christian was out of town
and so the boys and I went to my hometown to visit with Nonni and Papa and my sister, new niece and my bro in law.  We went to the Dodger game, which was quite interesting with the kids.   mom said, they keep looking at the field and it's the same thing.  Oh yeahhhh...it was way hot and their first major league game was an A's game in the luxury suite with friends where they could run around...should've done it the other way.  
We played in the water, visited old high school roommates, loved on our favorite niece, and visited my grandmother for a one day trip to San Luis.  My mom rented a minivan because with Jaylee, yes seven pound Jaylee, she tipped the scales and we couldn't fit into a reg. car.
I also started potty training Mr. Caleb last Wednesday.  I thought that I'd try it since he kept pulling his diaper down to pee.  Well....we are officially one week into it and he has had an accident a day except for today!  I am so proud of him.  Tyler has been a real encouragement to Caleb.
We are enjoying the warm 80 degree weather, but can't play outside too much because of the wildfires.  Sooooo....we are relishing in being in the house...Yippee!
Tomorrow we are off to our friend Maddie's 5 year old party.
