Random pics of Jayanne

So I have nothing to post about since we haven't done much of anything lately but I do have some pics of Jayanne that I would like to share.
So we don't watch TV on the couch, we watch from the stairs....

or the sugar bucket, whichever is closest.

She loves to help mom cook. She did so good helping me with the Cinnamon Roll Cake. It was late when we made it as you can tell by her eyes. She was very tired.

Trying to learn to ride her Trike

As you can tell our fence has some places that need to be fixed.

But she couldn't see daddy on the other side of the fence so she found a way to see him.

Family Rivalry

So I am a BYU fan and Brian is a Utes fan (I know but what can you do?) Anyways, I was way excited to watch the game. And yes I was thoroughly disappointed in my team but its still fun to poke fun at Brian when the Utes screw up. We watched it at his parents place and I got insults from not only Brian but his dad as well. It is what makes football football. It was really fun. Jayanne is a BYU fan mainly because I am usually the one the dresses her in the morning and she doesn't have any Utes clothes so its BYU for her. I even taught her to say GO COUGARS!! and to say Come on man! Which is absolutely funny to watch her say. She gets all dramatic and throws her hands in the air and just shakes her head. It was really funny. It was awful game as a BYU fan but I will say this, the Utes totally deserved to win if BYU was gonna play the way they played. But I will always be a BYU fan.

And what did Jayanne do while the game was being played, besides watch BYU lose....she played with grandma's princess dolls.

Baby Adilyn

So my sister Sheri had her baby girl a couple of weeks ago, Adilyn. It was fun to go up to Richmond and spend a day with her and the kids. Jayanne loved holding Adilyn. She calls her Allen for some reason, she just can't seem to get the d sound out when she says her name. It was weird for me to hold a baby that was that small. I was certain I was gonna drop her or something but apparently holding a newborn is like riding a bike. You don't forget how. She is such a precious baby. She was so content to just sleep the entire time I was there. The only time she was awake was for feeding but then she was right back to sleep. What I would give to have Jayanne back to that point. Anyways, it was a really fun trip. Jayanne got to play when Ben and Brooklyn and I got to catch up with Sheri and my mom.

Fishing with Grandpa!

So for Father's Day we gave my dad a fishing trip with Jayanne. We were able to coordinate our schedules and went this morning. We went to Syracuse Pond. None of us has ever fished there before so we had no idea what it would take to get the fish to bite. We didn't ever find out either. Yep that's right, no fish whatsoever. But we had a lot of fun. We got to fish and Jayanne got to chase the ducks. I was glad that I was able to go fishing with dad again. It had been awhile and some of my best memories are fishing with him so it was great to add another one to them. It was also fun to see my dad fish with Jayanne. She just played more with her pole than anything but it was still fun to watch. She even let Brian fish with her. It was cute to see them together. All in all it was a great fishing trip. So Happy Father's Day daddy!

Helping Daddy

Jayanne loves to help. With anything. This past weekend we were able to pour the cement for our garden box in our backyard and she helped take off the cement forms and everything. The best part was her helping Brian shovel the dirt into the box. She is such a big girl it makes me wonder where the time has gone.




Wet n' Wild

Well not really wild but it works. Jayanne loves playing with her little waterstation and her cousins have been able to have some fun with her.
Zach, Jayanne and Ashley

Ashley was really big on eating the toys more than anything. It was funny.

Jayanne, Avery and Bridger

Bridger infomed me that next time he came over he would need a chair. He is just too tall to play standing up.
