A Day with Aunt Amy!

Yesterday I took Jazzi & Savanna to Aunt Amy's for the day, so I could go through all the girls clothes before the big consignment sale on Saturday. I left the camera there, and these are the pics that got sent home...=-)


Jasmine is excited......



Savanna is excited.....


Aunt Amy is apprehensive and wondering what she got into....


Aunt Amy decided to take advantage of the situation and get some child labor.




She even made Jasmine watch the baby for her!


Just kidding....=-) I think everyone had a great time!





I love the "proud big sister" look Jazzi has in this one!


Yes, she is sitting all by herself!


aww, so sweet...I just love kissing that chubby little wrist! (don't worry Amy, I am talking about Savanna's!)


Amy will probably hate me for putting this one up, but Savanna's face is too funny!


They love Aunt Amy =-)


I think Jasmine is scared...but then she starts having fun!





Wow Amy, you did take a lot of pictures....here are the rest!









Sorry this post was so long, but there were a lot of fun pictures! Thanks Amy!

House update

Well, the foundation is laid and the boards are there ready for the framing....and our sign is up with our name on it....this is really happening! =-0

Right now I am nervous because the foundation looks SO SMALL to me! But, they warned me that it would look very small and not to worry, it will "grow" when they frame it. I guess I will trust them, I guess they have more experience than me. =)

Growing Savanna

Here a just a few random pics of Savanna so you can see how much she is growing!!!!

Our Lot! =-)

I am going to try to take pictures and post them through out the process of building the house, so to start here are some pictures of the lot before construction began. I need to get some more pics now, because the foundation is done! =-)

Excitement.....

So, it looks like it is ready....to start anyway. =-) The final papers have been signed and they are ready to break ground on our new HOME! We should close sometime in January. I am so excited! I will be taking pictures as progress begins and I will be sure to post them.

Other than that, there is not much news here....Jonathan and I dont see much of each other with me leaving for work as soon as he gets home, so we are both very excited about our trip next week. Jonathan has a work conference in Chicago and I get to go too! We will be gone Tuesday-Sunday. The days he has meetings I get to have leisure time at the hotel, and when he does not we will be doing some sight seeing in Chicago. I know that we get to go to a Cub's game and we get to go to Six Flags Great America! But mainly, I think we are just excited to get to spend some time with each other. =-)

The girls are growing like crazy. Savanna is trying to sit on her own and she laughs a lot now, especially at Jasmine...she rolls and scoots everywhere too. Jasmine is still saying new things everyday, she is so funny. She definitely livens up my days! =-) She loves Savanna and is such a good big sister.

Well, thats all for now, hope everyone has a great week! Here are just some random pics for your enjoyment!

The beginning of a new adventure!

Well.....we signed a contract yesterday....to build a home.....I am scared, nervous, thrilled, excited, apprehensive, ready, not ready (haha) as you can see a big mixture of emotions. But most of all, excited! If everything goes smoothly, building will begin mid-July. It will be in Lone Oak Parke, which is located near NW 164th & Portland. I think this may be one of our biggest adventures ever, aside from having babies. =) Anyway, I will try to keep everyone updated on the status, and I am going to post pics of the progress once the building begins! Until then...here are a few recent pics of the girls.


A typical "Jasmine" face =)



Savanna's first time in the high chair


I couldn't get her to look up for anything!


Savanna's new toy...I think she likes it. =)


Another typical "Jasmine" face.....


Have a great day!

Zoo pictures!

Ok, so I didn't do too well keeping my promise to post pics soon, as my lovely sister pointed out. =) Things have been crazy, and I kept waiting for them to slow down, but I decided that isn't going to happen anytime soon, so I am posting now...here are the LONG overdue zoo pictures. Jasmine and I had a lot of fun going to the zoo with friends from church, Erin and Jonathan. Jasmine and Jonathan had fun seeing animals together. We hope to go again soon!

Jasmine getting ready to head into the zoo

Looking at the rhino






Jasmine pointed out the "kitty" (lion cubs) to every one that came by. =)



Jasmine snacking on her favorite thing...french fry!


Jasmine & Mommy looking at the gorillas






awwwww...kissing the baby gorilla!


I think she was getting annoyed that he would not look at her.....



So there you have it, you have finally seen the fun we had at the zoo! I won't make any promises, but I hope to stay more on top of this! =)

Have a great day!
