Carnival at Jayde's School

Jayde's school had a carnival and papa and grandma were able to come and see her school. She wanted her face painted like a purple kitty. There were games, prizes and food. I have never seen my little girl be so shy. She did not talk, smile, nothing - she just hung on to me and played a little. After we got outside she started acting like her cute little self. Believe it or not, I too can be very shy in crowds although just about everyone who knows me would say it differently. Now Jayde is trying to decide what to be for Halloween, since we will paint her face because she loved it.

California Girls Weekend Photos

Ok girls - here you go. Sorry it took so long to get them all to you, but make sure you share our last weekend photos - I did not get some of those photos on my computer.

Flaming Gorge Trip

For my birthday Tom took us to Flaming Gorge on the new boat. We camped, tubed and just played - it was awesome! I love that place. Jayde was awesome. We camped by some people who had some little kids who Jayde played with all night and had a blast. We will be back soon!

Tom's nieces (Samantha, Becca) came to visit us with their grandparents (Vicki and Dan who are the parents of the girl's mother). They were spending last week in Utah with them and came to have dinner at our house one night. They are both getting so big. These are Tom's brothers children from California.

Running through the sprinklers with Aunt Chelsea

Chelsea (Tom's sister) talked Jayde into running through the sprinklers at our house. She loved it! Although Chelsea had to do it with her. I love Jayde's little facial expressions. She was soaking wet, then she had to ride her bike through the sprinklers.

Putting Papa to Work

Here is the game, Papa or Grandma sit waiting with the broom in hand. Jayde pours Papa's rocks (which if you know my father he racks his rocks to make sure they look perfect) onto the sidewalk, where they have to look through the rocks with their fingers for ants or earwigs, which if you find some you smash, then Papa or Grandma have to sweep the rocks off the sidewalk. This is usually a constant game or work while at their house. She loves it!
