The rest of our weekend

On Saturday my sister headed to a wedding in Edmond.  This was what the girls were doing when she left.

I was in bed off and on all day on Saturday so Mike and Lady had to hold down the fort.  It was a game day, and at our house we all wear purple on game day, even our guests.

Hadley was more interested in the wedding that Auntie Jessica was at, so she chose a wedding veil for her game day attire.

The little girls wanted to get in on the dress up too.

Here is a picture of Jessica and her friend Jamie.

The day ended with a bath for the little girls.

We loved having family visit.  Thanks Mom and Jessica for all your extra help while I was under the weather.  I love that Hadley and Jillian have cousins so close to their age.  It will be fun to see them all grow up.  Now if we can just talk Uncle Matt and Auntie Jessica to move a little closer :)

Back in the swing of things

Wow, it has been a long time since my last post.  I wish I could say it was because I was on a tropical vacation.  That is not the case.  Instead I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and it was not a good experience.  After 6 days of the worst pain I have ever felt I am on the road to recovery.  I was one of the unlucky people who gets dry socket and it was horrible but a little packing of the socket and I am good to go. 
The good news is the girls were in great hands while I was under the weather.  Mike's mom was able to come for the first few days and she was a great help.  The girls loved having Granny here with them.  Mike was also a huge help and makes a great nurse.   After Mike's mom left my mom, sister and niece came for a visit.  I am so glad they were here but just wish I felt a little better while they were here. 
Jessica and Sophia got here on Thursday.  I was actually feeling a little better this day and was able to pick them up at the airport.  The cousins were very excited to see each other.

Sophia had a long trip and was out after just a few minutes in the truck.

After getting to the house it was time to start playing.

Then it was time for a story from Auntie Jessica.  There was a lot of reading all weekend.  These girls all have a love of books.

Next up some fun with headbands.

Hadley loves her cousin Sophia.

Lady arrived just a couple hours later.  She was greeted by 3 very happy granddaughters.

 Hadley wasted no time taking advantage of having her girly, girl aunt around.  They were like 2 peas in a pod.  Hadley gave lots of manicures and pedicures over the weekend.

By the end of the night we had 3 very tired girls. 
On Friday, Hadley went to school in the morning so the little girls enjoyed some time together.

Lady and I went to pick Hadley up from school and this is what we came back to.

Just as we were sitting down for lunch our next guests arrived.  My Granny and Grandpa drove down to spend the day with us.

 Hadley found someone that would let her talk nonstop :)  At one point Grandpa and Hadley went out in the back yard.  Hadley was talking when they went out and was still talking about 20 minutes later.  When we looked out the window Hadley had a princess and Grandpa had a horse.  I don't think she let him talk the whole time.

 We enjoyed some time outside.

Then it was back inside for more pedicures and a little ring around the rosie.

Days 3 and 4 of visitors

I have finally made it to my last post about visitors and it is only a week after they left.

Day 3 started with some pajama playtime on the floor. Check out Jillian's comb over.

Then it was time for another walk to the park.
Here is Sophia ready to go.Jillian in the "Beast" and ready to go.

Sophia was all smiles at the park.
Hadley and Lady loved the slide :) Please excuse the lack of clothing on my daughter. It was a pick your battle kind of day.This was the scene when we got home from the park. And yes I just took the seat off of the stroller and brought Jillian inside. You don't ever wake a sleeping baby!Then it was time for lots of Lady cuddles before she had to leave.Before Lady left we had a mini photo shoot in the backyard. We got a few keepers and a lot of laughs.
On Day 4 my Dad and Grandpa made the trip down for the day. It was so great to see them and I am very happy that Grandpa was up for the trip.

Here is Hadley telling Grandpa Great a story. This story was about 10 minutes long and I am not sure what all she said.
Grandpa Kent and 3 out of 4 of his granddaughters.

It was great to have everybody visit and we can't wait to do it again.

Excited!

One week from today this nugget will be cuddled in my arms! I will be happy to she her mommy too.

More pictures

Here are a few more pictures of Sophia Jane. They are from Heidi's blog. I talked to Jessica yesterday and things are going well. They will probably get to go home today.

It's a Girl!

Hadley received a wonderful birthday present in the middle of the night, a new baby cousin. My sister Jessica and her husband Matt are the proud parents of a precious baby girl. Sophia Jane was born at 1:47am Phoenix time. She weighed 5 pounds and 12 ounces and was 18.5 inches long.
Both mom and baby are doing well. Jess' due date was June 1st so Sophia is about 5 weeks early.
I just got off the phone with Jess and she sounded great. The baby is in the nursery until the pediatrician releases her to the room with Jess. I told Jess to rest while she could :)

I will post more pics as I get them.
