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.

Our 1st Post!

The title says it all. We're kinda new here to all this blogging stuff. So I guess I'll dedicate this first post to getting to know us. I'm Jayme, 24, & the momma to the family. Then there is Jacob, 23, the daddy. Next in line is Jaya, 5, our oldest toothless daughter. After her is Jasmyn, 2, the little one with the big attitude. Last but not least, Bone, 3, our sidekick to the family. We live in Louisiana, the little boot-shaped state. We're a pretty easy going little family. Jacob works, & I stay home. But that is soon to change as I am currently looking for a job. I am also in school & will be finished in December 2008. Jaya will be the next one in school starting in August. I'm soo nervous for her, but I know she'll be fine. Jasmyn is just lucky she can't start school yet or I would of sent her a long time ago. She is a handful. I'm hoping to use this blog as an update for my family & friends who we don't get to see as much as we'd like. So enjoy all the little updates.

I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible, which will hopefully be about weekly. I'll try to add pictures alot too so you can see how much the girls are growing. Well if you made it through the 1st post, thanks. Hope you come back for more=]

------------Jayme & the rest of the gang.
