Jocelyn and George

Aubrey and Jocelyn have just L-O-V-E-D George being in the family. I have quite a few pictures of Jocelyn and George playing---or more so Jocelyn poking around at the kitty. :) It hasn't been intentional that Aubrey wasn't included in these. Most of the time, Aubrey was at school during the day when I caught these moments with the camera. Looking at the photos, it's hard to tell who loves who the most! He gets confused with what's his toys vs her toys but she still shares and they love to sniff eachother's noses. He has so much tolerance for a little curious child (as you can see in the photo of her putting her finger in his mouth). She has to know where he is at ALL times. LOL :)

Silly Moments By: Jocelyn

I'm behind in posting some pictures so here is a compilation of some silly moments of Jocelyn.


As you can see...


Jocelyn has gotten her hands on...


CHEETOS! And BOY does she love them. As you can see, she's wanting some more of Aubreys.


BIG SMILE!


You are SO lucky that you don't have to hear this noise as it scoots across the floor. Just as bad, maybe worse, as the sound of nails scrapping on the chalkboard. But somehow, she has found this as her creative way to walk through the kitchen.


Okay. I'm going to have to explain this look on her face as you'll see more of them as you scroll down. One evening, we were at the table eating dinner as a family and Jocelyn started to crinkle her face and make weird looks such as this one. We all laughed and I think she has kept this face to make us laugh over and over. You probably don't have to wonder where we get our source of entertainment!!






She was playing with her toys and I caught her hanging this from her mouth.




I don't know why but this face almost scares me. Maybe it's just all of those TEETH. What a silly girl!


Playing around with daddy and giggling nonstop!

A Day At The Park

These pictures of our girls at the park were taken on Monday, November 5th. Sorry to those that I told you I'd post them earlier on but never had the chance until now. Too much going on all at once. Anyways. The girls had so much fun going back to this park/ playground down the street from our house. It was about 65 degrees outside so it was perfect to go out and play. (Sometimes Aubrey gets so much energy wrapped up in her that being cooped up in the house is not a good thing for her so I find somewhere outside to play if the weather cooperates.) This trip to the park was Jocelyn's first time loving the swing. Jocelyn had so much fun and Aubrey enjoyed being the "big sister" and helped to push her. They are so cute together! I decided to put up most of the pictures from this trip to the park that I had of the girls because I was having a hard time picking and choosing---Enjoy!!! :)

Sisters & Best Friends

This was the first of me pushing her on the swing. She actually let me this time. All the others were of her screaming as soon as I put her in the bucket. Her facial expression is priceless: I think this is when she was starring at the ground as she moved back and forth.

Hanging out!

Having fun with mommy.

It's....BATH time!

Jocelyn had a lot of fun in the bath a few nights back that I just HAD to grab the camera and take a few pictures. Ever since we took her infant tub away and gave her full rein of the bathtub, she's been splashing, scooting, standing, giggling---you name it--- all over the place. What a funny, sweet girl she is! Always ALWAYS keeping us on our toes.

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary (LATE post!)

John and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on October 21st 2007!! We both have not been too good about getting out on dates since Jocelyn was born 1 year ago, but our great friends from the ward kindly took the girls for us the Saturday before our anniversary so we could go out alone for a few hours. Low and behold, we were sharing our night of fun with the town's homecoming night so every restaurant in the area was jam packed and had a wait list of an hour or longer. We drove over by the mall and regardless of the huge crowd waiting outside of The Olive Garden, we strolled in anyways and put our name on the list. (Not that the restaurant was a bad pick but I was honestly getting tired of driving around trying to find a restaurant that would be able to seat us in a short amount of time.) 1 hour and 15 minutes they said we'd have to wait for a table. A short time later, I noticed many tables outside unoccupied and asked if there was a wait for them. She said no and I said WE'LL TAKE IT! :) It was really nice to spend some time together without the kids in tow. Which doesn't happen as often as we'd like but we're forever thankful for our family! Check out what he surprised me with---an anniversary present to us from our girls! Isn't that so sweet??? The bowl is just beautiful and I can't wait to put their little handprints up on display. I love it! And him of course! :)

Aubrey's 2nd grade class party

October 31, 2007 - Happy Halloween!!!
Aubrey's 2nd grade classroom had a Halloween party Wednesday and I volunteered to come and help set the room up. Jocelyn had fun seeing her big sister during the day and all the kids in her class. Aubrey was just as excited to have her little sister there with her. Besides falling earlier in the day on her knees in the hall (those dang shoe laces!!) she had such a great time decorating a cookie, making her popcorn hand, and playing "apple bob" games! I was so glad I was able to join in on her afternoon of fun. :)
