We’re Back!

Here we are! Finally things have calmed down and our little, happy family has gotten into a wonderful groove ;). Our blog here has gotten very neglected, but I think it and y’all can forgive us being that it has been extremely busy over here. Right after the last blog post (well, the one before Jess’ announcement anyway ;)), I got even worse morning sickness (all day sickness more like :P), we moved – two more times – we had to get settled real fast before Jessica came, and then she came and I had to get through postpartum… soooooo…. we have literally had NO time to post anything!

Now it is our goal to post once every four to six weeks, so keep checking on us and complain if we don’t post anything within two months ;).

This post is going to get all of you back up to date, and we’re going to do our best to condense it as much as possible! ENJOY!!!

Here are pictures of Jess during her very first week!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

I love these pictures of my man and our baby!

 

Jess’s first bath. She wasn’t too sure about it the first time, but it didn’t take long for it to become one of her favorite things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jess and Kendy’s first meeting

Casey loves playing with his little princess. We couldn’t wait for her to smile, so daddy decided to teach her how;). Hehehehe

 

 

Jessica grew so fast! These next pictures are from two months on:).

Jessica’s baptism

 

It didn’t take long for her to smile! Now she has a smile for us all the time – she’s our little bundle of joy:D!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little hands to kiss, hold, and adore!

 

 

 

 

 

Sleepy time! Jessica has a knack for being adorable – even in her sleep :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love the hand to cheek

There was a period when she would just fall asleep during tummy time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She LOVES her blankets! Can’t take naps without them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday mornings with daddy:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snuggles with mommy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was so excited when I figured out how to pump! It stole my heart to see my hubby feed his little angel.

 

Here we are at the Destruction Derby! We all loved it… even Jess enjoyed the noise and excitement!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We love visiting the family!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auntie Krista holding Jess for the fist time!

 

Then there was the Fourth of July celebration, which occupied a couple of days:)! We went swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Bolles’ and then ended twice with a bang;).

Casey loved swimming with Jess, and I loved taking a gazillion pictures of my two favorite people:)

 

 

 

After swimming, we went to my parents house and watched a firework show. Jess actually slept through the whole thing!

On the actual 4th of July, we had my sibs over and blew things up… after going to In’N’Out Burger and the batting cages;).

    If you go to the batting cages you have to stop at the arcade!

Casey’s first fourth of July putting on the show. He did a fabulous job!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was a family reunion on Casey’s side. We had a lot of fun!

We love each other… a lot… can you tell:)? 

 

Jess had a lot of fun at the reunion!

My dear friend Deryn came out to California July! It was so great to see her again. She came out from Kentucky last year for Casey’s and my wedding, so it was really amazing to see her after all that time!

She got to meet Jess in person! 

Yeah, we’re pretty much all nuts. 

Our new thing we do whenever we go to a restaurant is make crawly snakes with our straw rappers. Don’t ask… it’s just fun! No shame;). 

We had such a great time! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jessica wearing the dress auntie Deryn got for her! 

 

 

Be prepared for some more cuteness!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All three of us in the pool.

There you have it! This isn’t a full update since it’s been so long, but it’s sufficient;). Our next post will begin to cover more recent happenings!

Take care!
