Family, Friends & FUN...

I've been so bad about keeping up on this blogging stuff. Im going to try to do better. The summer is almost gone but I've been able to spend time w my new little girl and of course family and friends. I don't know what I would do without them and I now don't know what I would do without my little girl. She has been so much fun and I LOVE being a mom.

The past 3 weeks Jaylee has really started smiling alot and she really recognizes us and her surroundings.

SHE'S GETTING SO BIG ALREADY.

We took her in for her 2 mo check last week and she weighs a woppin 9 lbs and is 22 inches long. Long and skinny. She's doing great and even doing better at nights. She only gets up 1 to 2 times a night now but the day that I finally get to sleep clear through the night will a good night. It will definitely call for a celebration when that happens.

Just waking up in the morning. Shes a morning girl and is so happy when she wake up.

Just getting ready for her bath.

This was actually one of the first days she smiled. Morning of Aug 8th. Of course I captured it on camera. What a cutie huh!!!

FRIENDS!!!!

What would I do w out my friends?? I have the best friends and I can't tell you how lucky I am to have the friends I do.

These are my cute St. George Friends. Jalene Ellett, Regan Bastian, and Melanie Nielsen. An afternoon out to lunch w just the girls.

These are my bestest friends in the world.

Mackenzie (Johnson) Boyce, Gina (Quarnberg)Fritzsche, Marcae (Roper) Rosenvall, Teresa (Hinckley) Nielsen, and we are missing 2. Jalene Ellett and Deb Jordan weren't able to make this sleepover a few weeks ago, but are usually there. I brought Jaylee and she did great and loved hanging out w the girls. The 7 of us have made sure we get together at least once every month or two for a gathering and a sleepover. Our husbands wondered if it really was going to keep going the way we do w the whole sleep over thing and now they just deal w it. They think we might be to old for that but we'll be 80 yrs old and still having sleep overs. We stay up all hours of the night, eat LOTS of treats and talk about everything and anything. I know they will be there for me through anything and I love them to death. Thanks girls for being such great friends. I really dont know what I would do w out your friendships.

POKER NIGHT AFTER SWIMMING..

Gotta love to play poker. Of course Nolan was the dealer. He's the best. I actually won the first game. I've gotten to be pretty good:) I had a good teacher.

Does NOLAN LOOK SERIOUS OR WHAT.. Or just bored after 4 hours of playing poker.

(Don't worry Peep's that's not his drink. )
