Just for Jodi

Remember this dress Jo? I just HAD to take her picture and post it for you. I can't believe that she's already wearing it. It's not the best picture of Macie, but it was all I could do with Ryan rushing me out the door. lol

Sweet Moments

My Grandma the lives in Ohio made this precious sweater set! Isn't she so cute in it? Please keep my Grandma in your prayers if you will. I just found out that she's in the hospital.

I couldn't believe I actually caught this on camera. What a sweet moment this was. Ty crawled up onto the couch and layed back next to Macie. He's so gentle with her...it always shocks me since he's such a rough and tumble little boy. I thought it was too sweet.

Will I ever tire of dressing my little girl up in girley clothes? I think NOT! I can't resist taking pictures. Ryan laughs at me since everytime I put her in an outfit I run for the camera. Hopeless.

A Hamper Full of Fun

What can possibly be more fun than playing inside your clothes hamper? Ty was such a hoot the other day. He would pull the hamper over his head and put his arms straight down to his sides so it would fall all the way down over top of him. Then he'd run around the house. Even funnier is when he'd come up behind you and say "Boo!" to scare you in the scariest hamper way. haha

Another shot of Ty getting situated in his hamper. Such imaginations. Isn't it great?!

Ty's helping his Great-Papaw Leon. He thinks he's big stuff here.

Because it's been so long...

Man, what precious kids. I love these little babies to death. Ms. Tori was so kind as to make Macie that sweet little red bow in her hair to surprise her mommy. Cute huh? I love her outfit today, so I just had to take pictures and share.

My little man is really growing up. He's getting so tall these days. I can't believe that he is already 18 months old. Even scarier than that is that he's as big if not bigger than a lot of the two year olds I know. He's big into running around the house with one of Ryan's hats on. It's cute.

Another shot of Macie Jade. She does better with the colic some nights than others, but we're still dealing with that. Other than at night, she's a little angel.

Work is going really well for Ryan. Right now they're training in the class room, so he says its actually pretty boring. Next week they're going out into the plant to work hands on, so I think he's looking forward to that.
-
My work is going good too. I miss the kids like crazy, but ever since I've been working I think I've only worked one week with all three days in it. We had Election day off and this week they wanted me to switch this Thursday to next Monday. So I only had to work today and then tomorrow, then I'm off until Monday and Tuesday and then OFF again for Thanksgiving break.

Working has definetly made me appreciate me time with the kids. I guess for a while I should change the name of my blog to "Tales Of A Stay-At-Home/Working Mom."

That's all for now. Just keep us in your prayers...leave lots of comments...I love to hear from you guys and see who all is keeping up with our family. Love and hugs, Jessica

So Sorry...

I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted. Yes, I have some new pictures and TONS of new news to tell you guys.

Ryan started his new job this past Monday. I started a job also, working Tuesday-Thursday from 7:20 -2:20. I'm interpreting at a couple schools for right now just until we can get ourselves out of some debt and ahead a little bit.

I cried and cried the night before I left the kids, but we and they love their babysitter. She's great. The kids are bathed and ready to go when I get there to pick them back up. Talk about that being nice. AND..she does their laundry for them while they're there too. I thought about just asking her to be our live in nanny for life. haha...just kidding! She's done such a great job so far and the kids love her. She's a fellow scrapbooker and my age, so we have lots in common to talk about.

Macie is growing like a little weed. She's just so pretty (I think so anyway) and SO much fun to dress up in all those cute girley clothes.

Ty is doing good too! He's talking more and more and trying to say new words everyday. He's just a blast at this age.

Simply Macie

I finally got a picture of her smiling with her eyes open. So, Morgan, this picture is for you! =) She smiles all the time...especially when you talk to her in a high-pitched voice.

These are Macie's new little fairy wings. I took this picture before I got the bright idea to bend the wings so that they looked more realistic.

This is after I bent the wings up a little. I have one really cute shot of her where she looks like she's about to take flight.

*Prayer request: Continue to pray for me please. The incision that I told you guys that is now leaking milk, has turned red. I'm not sure if it's blood or what is wrong. I called the Doctors office and am now waiting to hear back from them.

Of Hair and Funny Faces

So, here's my new hair-do. It's a fun change and Ryan and I both like it. I have part of it pulled up in these pictures.

This funny face was just too cute to pass up on posting. Macie Jade just loves her swing. I love her swing too when I'm trying to get something accomplished. =)

Here's another picture of my hair that I took. Sorry this is all so short but it's WAY too late to be up posting, but #1. I couldn't sleep #2. Macie was up needed fed. So what else would I do but post while I had the opportunity.
