Make-up

I'm afraid this is what I have to look forward too! She tries to do this everyday! Then she walks around the house thinking she's "all that".

Tax Time

I was busy working on a family members taxes and stepped away to make Jadyn some lunch, I turned around to see she had taken over for me!

Doesn't she look smart?
Maybe she has already found her career path, except for the part where the calculator became a phone!

Gung Hay Fat Choy- Happy New Year

Chinese kids dancing!

We went to Portland this year for the Chinese New Year celebration, we had a great time. All the children there were adopted. It was so fun to see them all. 2012 is the year of the Dragon!

Snow!

We had our first snow fall for 2012. I was beginning to wonder if it was going to be a dull winter!
But Ol' Man Frost showed up!

The change a few snips can make!

our girl has Bangs

We are still getting use to the big change in looks

She looks so much older...

and even more beautiful!

she was sad at first and asked me to put her hair back on, but now she likes it, because her favorite Barbie has bangs too!

A Warm January Day

She is trying to find our house!

Happy New Year......love Jadyn

Someone had a Merry Christmas!

 Our house is officially full of Princesses

We hope you had a Merry Christmas as well!

Happy New Year

The magic of Christmas

What a difference a year makes! Jadyn ran up to Santa and started chatting away.
She informed him he probably shouldn't bring her a big Barbie house because her room is full already. But he could bring lots of Barbies! Santa was laughing so hard. She's so honest, I love it.

Tea For 2

Last week it snowed here.
Yesterday November 27th. Jadyn had a tea party outside with her BFF while Mom and Dad hung Christmas lights.

Crazy weather!

The tea, it was actually orange juice.

Sleepy Girl

This is what happens when someone wakes up a little after 6 am

They crash during dinner!

Nutcracker

Jadyn's class was invited to go to a rehearsal today.

She had no idea what it was all about but was so excited to go. I think her teacher does a great job getting the kids excited about new things.

It was not a disappointment, she loved it. The kids were given a tour of the costume room as well.

Look who volunteered to try on the Nutcracker head! All she said was "it's so heavy"

Looks like Jadyn and I will be going to the Nutcracker performance this year!

Our new family member

Meet Randall.

He is a Chinese Water Dragon and a gift for Jeron's birthday.

Jeron fell in love with him at the pet store.

It took me a while to accept the idea of a lizard in our house, but he's cute and we all really enjoy him.

A perfect check-up

Where did those tummy rolls come from?.
Her 6 month heart check-up went perfect.
Oxygen saturation at 97%. Doesn't get much better than that!

This update was done via my iPhone, pictures and all.

Happy Halloween

Princess Belle





We had a fun Halloween. Jadyn got to wear her costume to pre-school and to a seniors center for a Halloween parade.
It was fun to see the Seniors so happy. The kids brought total joy to them.

In the evening we were off trick or treating, this girl loves it. She was out for over 2 hours, thanks to Garrison and some friends for round 2.

We also celebrated Jeron's 10th birthday!
I was informed today that Jadyn would like to be a kitty next year.
