Wonderful Day

(I wrote this on the Oct 29th, sorry it took so long to get it on here.)



So yesterday was such a wonderful day!! Dailynn had been at Nathan's sister for a sleepover, so the house was quiet. After getting Avi headed to school, JJ and I headed to grandma's so she could play while I helped out at the school. A short trip to Wal-mart then the rest of the day was for Jeslyn. She crashed on the way home, so I got a wonderful nap for about an hour and a half. I don't normally take naps but JJ had a pretty bad morning that morning. After my nap I had about another hour where I was able to get some stuff done around the house alone!!! After JJ had some lunch, we headed to wal-mart again to get the rest of the presents (you cant find everything you want in just one wal-mart sometimes) . We came home and make a cake and cupcakes, and started wrapping presents. Jeslyn thought it was a great activity until I was stealing the presents from her to wrap them.

By then Avi was home from school, so we started carving and decorating pumpkins. JJ helped me decorate hers (as much as she could). Avi and I had fun getting hers done too. We had some dinner, then had to go pick up Dailynn. Once we got home, we got a chance to celebrate Jeslyn's first birthday!! She loved opening her presents, it was great to watch it. Then we had her cake. It's fun how every kid does it different. She started by poking it and licking off the frosting until she realized that it was really good and she went to town. Nathan tried to get a taste from her and she wouldn't give him any. Then we got the kids in bed and were able to relax with the cute little girl just playing around me.
It was such a nice day!! Mom's don't get days like that very often, so when I was presented with the chance to enjoy so much I jumped at it.

Picture Time

The pictures are finally here. It has taken forever to get them up, but here are most of them. I am having a hard time getting the pictures off my cell phone, so when I figure it out, I will be putting those on, but until then, here you go. I suggest you start at the bottom so that you get the story in the right order.

Helping grandpa on the farm. She loved the fact that she was standing on the jeep.
