GUILTY!

Ashleigh, I am sorry, I have "blog lifted".

My friend Ashleigh posted this on her blog and it was as if she read my mind and jotted my exact thoughts down. So not only did I "blog lift" the picture but I "blog lifted" her words as well. Please watch for "Team Ashleigh and Jill" of the United States of America in 2012. We will rock your world!

I want to be a Beach Volleyball Player. Actually, I just want to look that good in a skimpy swimming suit that rides up and I feel no pressure to re-adjust because I just look THAT good. Plus I want to run, jump and bounce around in that swimming suit with no reservations. A Gold medal, endorsements and TV time would be bonus! (Oh, and obviously I'll only be wearing the skimpy swim suit because it's required for the sport.)

Pictures! Because we had nothing else to post!

Our friends with the heart baby have great news. He is home and doing great! Look how far he's come. What wonderful parents he has. He's a blessed little boy!!

Funny Memory

Occasionally we put a "pull up" on Jessica while she is sleeping if we couldn't get her to go to the bathroom before going to bed. One recent night as Trav and I were getting into bed, Trav told me that he had put a "pull up" on Jessie. So off to sleep we go. In the middle of the night Jessie comes in our room crying because she has peed. During her crying Reese woke up so I was taking care of her while Trav was handling Jessie. The next day our conversation went like this:

Me: "I'm so confused, I thought you put a pull up on Jessie before you came to bed. Why did she pee all over?"

Travis: "I know, I don't get it either. I put a pull up on her. It must have leaked out. (then the funny part) Does Nemo go on the front or the back"?

Me: (laughing), "Oh honey, you put a "swimmer" on her"!

Travis: "You can't put them in the same drawer"!

TOO FUNNY!! It puts a smile on my face every time I think about it! I love you babe!

Seperated!

This past weekend Trav took Jessie on the "Bow Hunt" (aka camping), while I stayed home with baby Reese. I missed them so much and was so happy to see their smiling faces when they got home. They fished on "Jessies boat", had campfires, played games and princesses. Jessica also found a way to play "dress up", you just keep changing your clothes ALL DAY LONG! Poor Trav, she's such a girl! While they were in Fish Lake Reese and I relaxed. We took naps, did laundry, and of course.... went shopping! I also did the ever dreaded "cry-out". Kills me every time and I feel like the worst mom in the world, especially because she's still so young. But, a rested mom sure is a happy mom!

A Favorite Find

I know nothing about makeup. I actually wish someone would turn me into one of those get help make-over shows!! But one thing I did find this summer, thanks to my little sis, is this wonderful eyeshadow primer. Funny thing is......I don't even wear eyeshadow. Again, could someone please turn me in? I actually love this because it doesn't make my eyeliner rub off onto my eyelids! A problem I've had forever. Am I the only one who has had this problem? Anyway, I used it in the summer on my awful pregnant self, in the heat and all that. So, if anyone needs a beauty secret like I do, give it a try. Better yet, if someone has a hint for me, I'm all ears!!! (p.s. I ordered it from Sephora).

Jack's Journey

We have some good friends that just had their first baby! Little Jackson Hardy was born Tuesday with Hyposplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a rare congenital heart defect affecting the left ventrical and aorta. What a courageous baby boy and family. We were able to go to Primary Childrens yesterday and see him. He looks so perfect! He and his parents have overwhelmed us with their strength and faith. They are truly witnessing a miracle! Jackson had open heart surgery today and everything went as well as can be expected but he still needs prayers. Please find room in your prayers for Jackson and his family.

Blessing day

We Blessed our sweet baby Reese Marie today. It was nice to have so many family and friends share this day with us. The blessing was perfect, the food was great and the company couldn't have been better.
THANK YOU!!

Eat Your Heart Out Tiger!

Jessie just received a super fun gift. Family members spoil her like crazy! I seriously never need to buy her anything (although I do). Here she is with her own sassy set of Barbie golf clubs. Dad is so proud!
