Well where the heck have you been?

I bet that's what your saying to yourself right now right? right? Please be right. Please say you have missed us. We love being missed.
Okay desperation over....
On with the good stuff.
No not that good stuff....gosh you people are just crazy!


Anyways I need to catch up on here. I've been slacking, so what's better than a Christmas Eve update at 2:12 in the morning. That's right...nothing!
Well not a whole lot to update on...but here goes.

Jayme- Is doing great. School is finished except for some make up classes I need to tend to. I have been doing massages here & there...ya know trying to put myself out there. I actually have a client from clinicals at school that is following me where ever my career takes me. He says I'm the best & it makes me all happy inside (knowing that I am the best)!!! My kids still drive me crazy, so nothing new to report on there. I still love to choke Jacob sometimes, but the kisses are better...so I'll stick with those. So see nothing exciting here.
Jacob-Has put out his new CD & I must say it's really good. I find myself singing his songs throughout the day. He is making big plans for a show this March, so hoping that goes really well for him. He is def. doing his thing & I am really proud of him. He is still working working working too on top of all of the other stuff. So maybe he is a little more exciting than me...
Jaya-Is on break for 2 weeks due to Christmas...bah humbug! Does anyone have some tylenol I can borrow I sense major headaches coming soon. The no school thing is really killing her, that girl loves her some kindergarten. Wonder if that will change once naps & playtime are over? She is overly excited waiting on Santa's arrival...broke Santa that is. She's not hard to please though.
Jasmyn-is well...still Jasmyn. I so wish there was a 2 week break for moms of naughty 2 year olds. Ahh...a girl can dream right? The only thing worse than a terrible 2 year old is a terrible 2 year old who never shuts up. Seriously where the hell did all these words start coming from. That isn't even the worst part...it's when she feels the need to repeat the same sentence atleast a hundred times. She kinda sounds like the seagulls off of Nemo....mine mine mine mine mine. Yeah...that's what I said!


So that's it, that's our update.
Till next time
I belv belv belv...that's all folks.

Stick A Fork In Me 'Cause I'm Done!

Reproducing, that is! It's official I never want to raise a 2 year old ever again.

So here's the story, Last a friend of mine called to see if I wanted to go over to her house. They were having a few drinks, eating wings, & playing Rockband. So me & the kiddos went. Long story short we didn't get to bed till very late...probally about 3ish I'd say. I think Jasmyn went down about an hour before I did, so I thought she'd sleep late in the morning. Boy was I wrong! Around 9ish Jaya comes in my room to wake me up with a sound of "oh shit" in her voice. The first words I heard were "momma, come see what Jamsyn did".....GREAT! As my feet hit the floor my first thought was "what could she have possibly done now"....NEVER underestimate a 2 year old & the shit they can get into!

As I entered the kitchen this is what I first saw.

Yes, those are eggs you see on my kitchen floor.

Now on to the next room.....

Yep, your right more eggs. If you notice that slick spot on the floor next to the container.....oh yeah it's butter....nice right?

Oh still not done! One more for ya!

Nothing says terrible two's like butter smeared in your lay-z-boy recliner!!!!

Anyone know where I can find a fridge lock????

Turning 2 is all bout the fishes.

Well today my baby girl is TWO! Yup she sure is. The years have really flown by since her birth & I've enojed every minute of watching her grow.

Yesterday we celebrated her birthday by bringing her to the aquarium. She really had a great time considering we got soaked by all the rain. I personally thought it was fun walking through the rain.

Happy birthday my baby girl. We all love you soo very much & are blessed to have you in our lives.

Now on with the pictures. Enjoy!



I personally thought you only see monkeys at the zoo!

I think this is my favorite one of them two.

A really pretty fighting fish.

A "Happy Feet" as Jasmyn would call it. I don't think she even know what a penguin is.

One of Jaya checking out the fish. She looks so amazed.

I really love this one of the two of them. I think this was the hardest capture. Jasmyn never stays still long enough!

Our little update!

I bet you were wondering where we went, since I hadn't posted since the 4th? Well we're still here! Just busy as ever. Nothing too exciting has been going down here lately, but I'll give you the 411 on the J family anyways.
I'm still in school & that is going great. We started our clinicals again & I love it. I actually have clinicals tonight & should be washing all my sheets right now. Anyways, I had been on the hunt for a job to do my part to help Jacob to pay some bills. I feel like I had been searching forever! I finally got an interview for Target last week & I knocked them dead. I actually got my 2nd interview that same day, & was really happy about that. I went in Sunday for my drug screen & am waiting on them to call me for orientation. My starting pay will be $9 & I'm more than happy with that. I plan on working through school & afterwards until my massage career kicks off.
Jacob has been working & working & working. Nothing too new is going on with him. He really doesn't have time for much with the way he works poor guy. Hopefully me getting my job will give him a bit of a break.
Jaya is due to be starting school in about 2 weeks. We got her supply list in & holy moly who knew kindergarteners need THAT much stuff?!?! She got her school bag so far, & she wears it everyday. She is really excited to be starting school. I just hope it stays that way. Her kindergarden orientation is coming up also, that should be pretty fun for her.
Jasmyn is just hell on two feet. She is beating on the TV as we speak. She could honestly be the poster child for terrible two's. She sure does keep me busy, most of the time repeating myself....Jasmyn get down....Jasmyn stop hitting Jaya....Don't you dare throw that....Hey that's not nice...NOOOO!!!....Oh I could go on & on. She is just lucky she can't start school this year.
Till next time....

Fireworks & Beer

So yesterday was the 4th of July as many of you know. For us that meant having a reason to drink some beer & blow some stuff up. For the kids it meant cute little sparklers & amazing colored lights that filled the sky. Which ever way, we enjoyed it all the same.

Me, Jacob & the girls went to his aunt & uncles house. They had BBQ, fireworks, & a welcoming home. The girls enjoyed themselves & I even drank some beer. Jaya followed her Aunt Debra around like a puppy dog. She had so much fun doing fireworks with her. Jasmyn was just all over the place. She was like Christopher Columbus discovering America.

We all had a good time.

Dr.'s & Happy meals

Today the girls had a Dr's appointment due to some sore throats & fevers. They were both put on antibiotics for the next 5 days. Jaya's throat was described as "a yucky infection" & Jasmyn's wasn't as yucky but still needed to be treated. Other than that they are doing fine. Jaya weighed in at 49 pounds & Jasmyn came in at 29 pounds. The best part of all was NO SHOTS which equaled NO TEARS. That is always described as a good visit.

After the Dr's we stopped at Mickey Dee's. I knew the girls were starving & mom was paying so... ya can't beat that. They had a blast on the slides & all the tunnels & the steps...kinda sounds like a work out. Jasmyn was fearless & full of determination when it came to the all the climbing. I thought for sure I was gunna have to climb my big butt up there & save her, but she did great. Jaya was an old pro when it came to those steps & slides. She was always a few steps behind Jasmyn keeping a close eye on her, have I mentioned how awesome of a big sister she is?

Check out Jasmyn coming down the slide.

Jaya taking a break from climbing for a picture & a quick bite.

Once we got home I started cleaning up & the kids were playing. I had found some of Jaya's old pretend foods & babydoll high chair & showed it to Jasmyn. It kept her quiet while I got some housework done. Maybe a little too quiet....this is what I found.....

Yep she passed out at the table while feeding her baby. Man, do I remember those days of feeding a baby & wanting to fall asleep...haha!

& I had to throw in this picture from Monday night. Jacob sat in front of the TV to play his PS3 & the girls each grabbed a chair & sat on each a side of him. Too cute. They have to be just like him.

Jasmyn's 1st Fishing Trip.

We decided to take the girls fishing a few weekends ago. The whole experience was nothing new to Jaya, but Jasmyn on the other hand was amazed by the whole trip. She loved playing with the bait & touching the fish. I was afraid she was going to fall over trying to touch the water. Since I didn't have the blog at the time, I decided that I would share one of her 1st's with you.
