Jenna's Birthday Party

Jenna is Payten and Seth's cousin, and she just turned 5. Her and Payten are 10 months apart and love to play together. Last night, we were able to go to her birthday party. She had it at the Jump Zone (one of those places that has the air-filled slides and jumping toys). The kids had a blast. Payten is usually aprehensive about new things, so I figured that she would be a little scared. I was definitely wrong. She climbed up all of the slides, which go all the way to the ceiling, and slid down; head first on most of them. Seth, who is usually my fearless one, would have nothing to do with them. This is the same child that dove head first off of the back of our couch onto the tile floor last week. Who knows????? We really enjoyed getting together with the family and celebrating Jenna's birthday! It's so nice to have them living closer to use now.

Here is Payten after she went down the first slide.
Ready to go again
Seth stayed with his Aunt Rachel a lot of the night. He was in a daze most of the time.

As if this wasn't obvious!

Merry Christmas 2007

So, as usual, I have been pretty bad about updating my blog, but before time totally slips away from me, I wanted to get some holiday pictures posted. We had a really good Christmas this year. Sarah and Bob (Sarah's boyfriend), came home for a week. It was so good to see them! We spent a lot of time relaxing and visiting. It was perfect!

Other than that, I am hanging in there for the last couple months of pregnancy. This is about the time that I want it all to be done, so hopefully the next few months will go by pretty quickly.

Our home


This was our attempt at Santa Clause. As you can see, we did not get very far. He screamed when we got up there, and she would never sit in his lap. One of these days.....
