Deep River Waterpark

Today we went to deep river waterpark...it WAS simply splashtastic. We took Alyssa and her friend Kalli to the waterpark since it IS her favorite place on earth...Jade got to enjoy a lot of walking, the girls had a blast, and Brett almost flew off the waterslide and had the crowd ooing and ahhing as he came down with a bloody arm...always trying to do something crazy! Jade even got to go in the baby pool...she loved it, although she just loves the outdoors period :)

Blowing out the candles

Well another birthday has come and gone...I had such an amazing day with Jade and an awesome night with Brett...Jade and I went shopping and watched a movie then got ready for the city where Brett and i went for a GREAT dinner at Fogo de chao then drinks at martini bar...can we do this once a week..lol...

Bowling with Alyssa

We took Alyssa bowling and boy were we in for a treat... she almost beat Brett but c'mon you know i was gonna beat 'em both :) we had a great time and it was Jades first time in a bowling Alley!




After we left the bowling alley we went to Alsip nursery to stock our fishbowl and let Alyssa play with the puppies

Bunny turns 2 months!!

Well today (July 20) Jade turned 2 months!! We had to take her to the doctor for her 6 shots, I swear I cried more than she did...good thing i have another 2 months to prepare for her next round of shots!

I think i forgot to post her 1 month picture...oops! (June 20)

Our first night out!

Well today (July 17) Brett and I decided to take our first night out away from Jade... I was totally freaked out to do it but in the end it was ok, she had her fist babysitter...her godmother Leslie watched her while we went to the poison/def leppard concert - it was so much fun!!

I was so glad to hear Jade did so well with her first babysitter...her and Leslie had a blast!

Happy Indepenence day!!

Well needless to say we spent the fourth of July in Michigan, relaxing and hanging out by the lake, we bbq'd, had some drinks, played in the water, did some shopping at the flea market, then had a fireworks show, it was Jades first and she handled it all very well...even slept through an hour long fireworks show!! Of course she was dressed to kill and loved being outside all weekend!!

Happy Birthday Brett!

We celebrated Bretts birthday with a family dinner at Don Pedro where they gave him a sombrero and sang to him, quite entertaining, Jade was there to help blow out his candles...lol...then we were off to Michigan for a weekend celebration with our friends Dave and Larissa...

Happy First Fathers Day Brett!

Brett got to spend his first fathers day with Jade this year, we were up in Michigan that weekend surviving a tornado and returned just in time for Brett to have some father daughter time just lounging at the house, She even got dressed up for daddy in a dress her grandpa George and grandma Lee just bought for her! Brett wasn't feeling the best and had a horrible case of poison ivy but made the most out of his day with Jade!

Jade loves the outdoors!

As Jade is approaching her 6th week, we have found that she loves the outdoors, which is good as Brett and I are rarely inside... she has been to Michigan 3 times and has even taken her first boatride, and gotten on her first waverunner! by next summer she will be tubing and swimming with the fishies...ok maybe not that extreme but thank goodness she loves being outside!!

Jade meets her one and only cousin Alyssa

Alyssa comes every summer to visit and stay with Grandma Rhonda but this summer was a treat as her new baby cousin was born weeks before she arrived, she has been keeping busy playing with Jade and giving her so much attention, this is Jades one and only cousin and she absolutely adores her! Alyssa even helped me come up with the bunny song for Jade, times flying tho, she will be off to Utah before we know it : (

Jade has the best aunt in the world

Jade has the best aunt in the world! Thanks to her aunt Asil (Kelly) she has the start of the cutest wardrobe ever, as you all know i was almost 100% sure i was having a boy so i had NO girl clothes ready, however Kelly had a feeling it was going to be a girl and sent all of Alyssas clothes our way...i was so happy to have pink clothes for Jade rather than the blue ones that were piling up, thanks again to you Asil without you Jade wouldn't have anyone to spoil her :)
