End of August

I can't believe August is almost over!  This summer has been great and really busy! Therefore, here comes lots of pictures!!

I love hanging out with this little sidekick!  She is really good about running errands with me! (of course going in a store usually means she gets a "sucker!!??".  So she doesn't complain... sometimes afterwards we go to the splashpad!

 She is always cracking us up!  Her latest favorite thing to do is to put things out the dog door and say "Whoopsie daisy!  I get it!!"  
 And the other picture....COOKIE DOUGH!!


Yes Jade and I went to the park again and yes more pictures :)  I can't help it!  She looked so cute!  The weather was perfect in my book...overcast and barely sprinking.  She is so brave and so fun to watch figuring things out!






A couple of not great quality pictures...but still scrapbook worthy!  Just jammin out with no pants!  And playing with some boxes!  She had all four stacked at one point but I missed it:)

I babysat Swayzie the other day and of course these two were so happy to play together! 
Even Marley was helping Jade dig!

 Jade got her first set of wheels!!  So far she is loving it but gets really frustrated when her doll won't stay on the handlebars!!  She is modeling the bike with one ponytail and 2 ponytails!!


 Last weekend we hung out with the Hunt's and the King's!  It was so fun and much needed, it has been a while!  And it's going to become even more rare because the Hunt's just moved down to St. George :( boo.
We went to the park and ate dinner, played some tennis and then came back and hung out at our house.








Jenni introduced me to the library!!  I've only lived here almost 7 years...guess it was time!  Turns out, it's pretty cool!  We were going to go to story time for the girls but we found out when we got there that it doesn't start back up til next week.  Oh well, the girls had fun checking out the books and running around the kid section!





Last Sunday evening we went to the park and played around!  It was sooo fun!  Stuff like this really is the best.  So thankful for my little family!







Oh man, this was soo funny!  I wish I had got Jade's face...she was just hands-on-her-knees laughing at her dad doing some cartwheels, hand stands, and front handsprings!  She was dying, I guess she has never seen anything like it though haha

 Then of course she had to try it!  With a little help from dad, she almost had it :)



They got it!!




 And I just love this picture!



Flying!


 And lastly, I yet again went to the park! haha this time with Jenni, Swayzie, and Hayden!  The kids had fun and made some delicious "cake" on these yellow stools!



 Jade is a daredevil!

A couple new things about Jade I'm writing down so I can remember:

She can count to 10!!!  What the?!  I know, but it's true!  She just picked it up!  One of her toys counts to 10 and some of the little video clips she watches counts to 10 and we do it with her too...but out of no where she just started doing it!  We have several videos of it and it's adorable!  We are so proud of her!

And she also is starting to recognize and know certain numbers!  2 is her favorite, but she knows what 1,2,3 look like.

She uses lots of phrases, which is helpful..."all done, up here, help, come on, etc"

She repeats almost everything we want her too

She is starting to learn to say "please"

She knows lots of animals and the sounds they make

She is starting to sing along to songs she knows!

She knows all the names of the Mickey Mouse Club house characters

She thinks she is big stuff when she walks (jumps) down the bottom stair...she even hypes herself up when she is ready to step down by saying "Come on Jade!"  "Do it!" And "you did it!!"

She is starting to mimmick us...example...she will purposely climb up on the TV stand just so she can say (in our mad tone) "Hey!  No, get down!!)  It's hilarious!

She is a pretty good eater right now!  Still has a sippy cup of milk in the morning and before bed and throughout the day.  And eats breakfast, a snack before and after her nap, and dinner.

She naps everyday from about 12:15-3:15 ish

No new teeth, still just two molars and 4 teeth on top and 3 teeth on the bottom
