My baby is TWO!!

 Don't you love these cute little Cinderella slippers?  Jessica and I sure do!!  We had a great day at lunch with our dad!  He has such a fun little pond next to his work.  We were able to see all sorts of fun things today ducks, squirrels, pretty red cardinals, turtles, fish, and just as we were leaving we saw 4 'army jets' land at the airport across the highway.  They were fun to see until we heard them and it scared all of them because it was so loud!  We had a great time throwing sticks in and watching them float down the water.  They also loved chasing the nasty black birds that are everywhere here (grackles).

 Squirrel
 Can you see the turtles?
 Jessica loves to do whatever her brothers are.  She really wanted to get her sticks back no matter how dirty the water looks or how deep it maybe. 


 Later in the day we opened presents, she got some new clothes, a magnet game and a new puppy named "Tootsie" that she takes everywhere, along with her babies, blankets and anything else she can hold.  We had one of her favorite foods for dinner.  PIZZA and then made some homemade ice cream!  The kids had fun adding the ice and salt.  It even has a hand crank, they had fun doing that for about 3 times around!  Thank goodness for electricity!

 We took it out and shared it with our neighbors and had oreos and fresh strawberries for toppings!  As you can see Jessica and everyone else was in heaven!  It was delicious!!

We are so glad this sweet girl is in our family.  She loves to sing and dance.  I remember my other girls doing that and loving it until they grew up and now it just doesn't happen as much.  In fact the other night Jessica wasn't sleeping very well so we had her laying on our floor so she wasn't keeping everyone else up and about an hour later she started singing in her sleep.  Twinkle twinkle little star.  It was so cute!  Her favorite person is dad and Megan is next on her preference list (I try not to take it personal, she at least acts like she likes me when they are not around).  She loves to swing and be outside riding her wiggle car or playing in Aubrey's garage.  She doesn't love it when I take her up to give her a nap, but she still really needs one.  She is just afraid she will miss out something the boys are doing.  She also doesn't love it when they close the door to their room so she can't get in to be with them.  She is more of a dare devil than my cautious Mason and will usually go down slides at the playground before he dares try it out.  She has taught him a thing or two!! It is really crazy for me that I am not pregnant or nursing, since I have done that for so many years now.  It is actually really, really nice!
