Disneyland July 2013

We were lucky enough to go to the happiest place on earth last week!

 We headed out at about 1:00 last Thursday. We took Betsy, Brooke, and Keaton along with us!

Jessie did really well in the car. She slept a lot and watched movies on the ipad.

 The park wasn't terribly busy.

We were there for 3 days.

Jessie's favorite rides were:

Winnie the pooh, Bug's land, The Carasol, The Little Mermaid, Moster's Inc., And both Toy Story rides!

She also loved the parades.

I don't blame her. They were adorable!!

 We didn't meet a lot of characters because the lines were long.

Long lines with a two year old are so not fun.

 Our hotel had a fun pool and we took advantage of the cheesecake factory down the street.

 Oh. Cars land was daaaarling.

If you haven't seen it. GO!

And Radiator Springs Racers was worth the wait.

SO FUN!

 Cody spoiles Jessie and got her a Buzz Lightyear toy.

We LOVE Buzz.

 Jessie also loved Tarzan's tree house.

She did get scared of the tiger tho.;)

 Naps were a must!

We had so much fun.

We will be back.

Trampoline

My parents gave us their trampoline awhile back.

We finally got it set up.

Jessie loves to jump!

She does all sorts of tricks for us.

4 of July

The fourth of July just happens to be my father in laws birthday!

We celebrated by having lunch at my inlaws house!

Happy 55th to Papa Jim!

We went to my parents house for dinner/swimming/fireworks!

Jessie liked the sparklers until she touched one and got scared.

She thought the fireworks were pretty cool too!

Jessie's Birthday Party

For Jessie's party this year we decided to keep it small so we invited our families over for a little party.

We had a yummy dinner that consisted of carne asada tacos and just regular beef tacos. Los Lupes chips and salsa, and lots of fruit goodness.

 Jessie got spoiled with lots of great toys and lots of new clothes!

 We had yummy costco cake and homemade icecream.

 Jessie had a lot of fun!

Two year stats:
*32 pounds
*34 1/4 inches tall
*wears 3T
*size 7 shoe

Jessie's Birthday DAY

On Jessie's actual birthday Daddy was at work so Jessie and I spent the day together.

We went and got a chicken nuggets from McDonald's for lunch.

She spent the afternoon playing with play dough.

And when Cody got off work we took her to the slash park in Moapa.

She got stung by a bee on her thigh, but it didn't phase her for long.

 I made spaghetti for dinner and Jessie ate lots!

She got to open two of her presents from Mom and Dad

and we had cupcakes!

We ended the night by watching Despicable Me.

It was a good day!

Jessie is 2!

I can't believe Jessie is two today!

Time sure flies!

 J and I are just hanging out today and are going to have cake later with Daddy.

We will have a little family party at our house this weekend.

 Some of Jessie's favorites (from my eyes):

Color: Purple & Orange

Food: Spaghetti

Movie: Toy Story and Lion King

Tv Show: Doc Mcstuffins

Fruit: Straberries & Watermelon

Veggie: Uhh. Pickles. Or as Jessie calls them 'apples'

Toy: Her doll dressed in a bunny outfit or her stroller that usually has lots of randoms in it. She has also been loving her little people castle and her plastic high heel shoes.

Outdoor activity: Loves to be outside with Dad. She also loves to swim. J loves the farm. We walk down to the corells to get her out for a walk. Yesterday she seen one of the goats and as we were walking away she said 'Bye Missy's Goat'.

Indoor activity: Loves movies, playdough, her toys, and coloring.

Has been talking so so much.

Loves to sing Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, The itsy bitsy spider, popcorn popping, here's the ball for baby, and head shoulders, knees and toes.
We got Jessie a potty but I haven't pushed it too much. I'm trying to hold out until our Disneyland trip because I don't think it would be too fun with a newly potty trained toddler on the drive or around the park.
Has been doing much better in nursery. I think she has fun playing with the kids, but she gets so excited when I pick her up.
Loves going to her grandma's houses.

I am so glad that I get to spend each day with this girl. She makes us laugh so much. And she drives me nuts so much too.;)

Love you J Girl!!

Tomatoes 2013

Our tomatoes have done pretty good this year.

At first we didn't know if they were going to survive, but they pulled through!

We have been picking/watering every couple days because they were being watered to much and little critters were getting into them.

When we pick we get about 12 or so tomatoes.

Which is plenty for us.

I don't bottle anything. I'd eventually like to once we get a good garden spot going here at our new house.

We mostly just slice them and put lots of salt and pepper and I usually classify that as a side dish for dinner.
