Spring is FINALLY here!

I'm so glad that spring is here and we don't have to be cooped up in the house because of the cold. We have a huge yard and we definitely go out to play a lot. Jasey loves going outside and getting dirty. And no matter where she goes Bentley follows her. They're best buds! Jasey & Bent looking at the airplane.
My beautiful little girl!

Nothing like playing in the rain puddles!

Daddy's girl; playing on the bear!

Definitely PaPa's little farmer--riding her Case IH! RED POWER!

Cirucs

We took Jasey to the Moila Shrine Circus for the 2nd year. She really enjoys it and the money goes to a very good cause. One of my best friends growing up was born without a hip bone and the Shriner's Hospital in St. Louis helped her through many surgeries that her parents could never afforded. She is now very healthy and outgoing because of them.

We had a great time as a family and I was glad we were able to be together, eat a snowcone and laugh! We have so few of those moments because of our different schedules!

The hoola hoop girl! Jasey was amazed (let's face it I was too!)
My little clown!

Jasey posing by the elephants--she loves them!

They had bears driving bikes and motorcycles--CRAZY!

And the puppy dogs!

Jasey, Aunt Nandi and the clown; she didn't know what to think of him.

She couldn't take her eyes off of him; not sure what to think!

Jasey's 2nd Birthday

I'm still trying to catch up on the most important events in our lives so that I can start blogging regularly.
Jasey's party was a lot of fun this year. We had a luau theme; even though it was cold and rainy outside. This year the weather cooperated so that our families were able to drive to Savannah. Last year we got 7" of snow in just a few hours last year :(

Here is her cake that my wonderful friend, Sarah, helped me make. I thank her for driving up from St. Louis! She made the trip and ended up hardly getting to catch up with me and instead got to decorate a cake and help set up for Jasey's party. Thank you Say--I miss you!

These were her table centerpieces:Time for some sand art....
and coloringMy wonderful family!

Jasey didn't want to leave her PaPa's sideThe awesome pinata!
Time to open some presents! She got soo many; thank you to everyone! She had an extremely long day and as soon as we got her in the car she was asleep!


It just doesn't seem possible that two years ago I gave birth to this beautiful, smart, funny & amazing baby girl. Each and everyday she amazes me; whether it be with a new color, word, number or roll of the eyes. I never knew my heart could grow and love something so small and onery sooo much! I know that each and every moment I have with her is a gift and I pray to God each and everyday that I get to see her go to school, graduate, get married, have children and grandchildren. I can't imagine her not being in my life. Sometimes I think I love her SO much that I won't be able to love a second child as much as I love her. My friends with 2+ children assure me I will but I still have doubts. She is my world!!!!! I love you soooo much Jasey Lene Bell!
