Jenell is TWO!

Jenell is officially two now. :) With Daddy gone, it was just a "mommy and me" day but we had a really fun time! We ate carrot cake for breakfast, went to an indoor bounce house place and finished up with a birthday sombrero at Chevy's! :) I must've sung "Happy Birthday" 50 times today (at Jenell's request) but it was worth it to see her so happy all day. Thank you to all of you who shared birthday wishes with our sweet little blessing!

Carrot cake for breakfast! Yesss!

Such a bad fake smile!! I just had to share!

Sharing her tortilla with mommy. So sweet.

She loved the sombrero they gave her when they sang Happy Birthday! She was very happy to learn that she got to take it home!

VIDEOS from her big day. :)

"Birfday Cake!!"

"ABC's" good way to end the day. :)

Saturday we celebrated Jenell's 2nd birthday a little bit early! Tim is going to be gone the whole month of June and he really wanted to be here to celebrate his little girl's special day! There were only about 3 sunny and dry hours the whole day and we used every minute! :) It rained and even hailed the rest of the day after everyone left! :) We were so grateful that it worked out the way it did.

Tons of our friends and family were able to come celebrate with us and the whole event was so special! Everyone had fun and no one left without at least a little bit of water on them! Thanks to all our friends and family who took pictures! It was almost impossible to narrow it down to just these few out of hundreds! Thanks again to everyone who came and/or sent birthday wishes Jenell's way! We love you all!

First Glimpses!

Tim and I went to get a 3D Ultrasound of Adele and Aunt Taylor and Jenell came along! Here are some of the better images we captured. Unfortunately, she had both her feet and both her hands in her face the WHOLE time. :) It was still a neat experience! The first three are Adele, the last two are Jenell! I think I was quite a bit further along in my pregnancy with Jenell when we had her pictures taken- which is why Adele looks skinny still and Jenell looked chubby. :)

This doesn't look comfortable to me, but she prefers it apparently...

Sleepy Adele! She probably yawned ten times in our 20 minute session. No joke!

Her skinny little legs are crossed in front of her face but she looks smiley in this one to me!

Earrings!

Jenell asks for earrings almost daily and we have always just used clip-ons or stickers. We decided on Sunday to make a special day out of it and took her to the mall to have it done. She was so excited! Except for the five seconds right after it was done. :) I threw in a couple random pictures from April as well.

This is my favorite way to find her! She was in her room, with shoes she put on herself, reading a book. :)

So excited to get earrings!

Almost time...

Staying very still just like they told her. :)

Having a talk with Momma before we got started.

"1, 2, 3!!"

Right after it was done.

5 seconds later. :)

Showing off her pretty new flower earrings!

Walking around the mall with the cute little bag they gave her.

Having some celebratory Tutti Melon with Daddy. Yum!

Off for a bike ride with daddy!

She really enjoys "dressing" herself. :)

Adele Geane

Our next little girl's name will be Adele Geane. Adele, because I LOVE the name and Geane after Tim's Grandpa Gene who passed away a few weeks ago.

Here is a belly picture @ 22 weeks, I've had enough requests for a picture that I figured I better share one. :)

Easter!

We had so much fun celebrating Easter at our house this year! Here are some of the zillions of pictures..

COLORING EGGS WITH ASHLEY AND AMBER

OPENING EASTER GIFTS FROM GRANDMA SANDY
Jenell received many thoughtful gifts from her Grandmas Sandy, Jen, Sue and Puff in the mail. I only took pictures during the first round of gift-opening but we were so grateful for all their thoughtfulness!

"More, please!"

EASTER MORNING
We came home after church and did a quick egg hunt before the rain starting pouring!

EASTER DINNER
I'm so bummed I didn't take more pictures of everyone! We had some of our friends- including some visiting from Hawaii over for Easter dinner.

The wrestling got a little out of control...
