Baby Shayne

Last Thursday Zach's wife Andrea had their beautiful baby girl Shayne. Jaycie hadn't had a chance to see her yet so I picked her up from school and we headed over for a visit. I think she likes her!

1st Day of School - Waaah!

Jaycie is lovin' school! Every day she has so many fun stories to tell and every night we lay in bed while I tell her what I did that day. She is suddenly intrigued with my day-time life since she is no longer a part of it. I know she's going to have a great year and make lots of fun new memories!

Bid for Bachelors

Last night we had our Bid for Bachelors event for the Liver Foundation. There were five of us girls (Steph, Tina, Deanna, Heather and Me) and we had a blast! Here's a pic of Tina, Me and Steph before heading in. The evening started with a silent auction and appetizers while everyone mingled with the soon to be auctioned bachelors. We got to sit in the VIP section - front row to the action. I spoke to start things off and then the bidding began. There were 23 bachelors and they did such a great job of preparing awesome date packages. These guys really put themselves out there and gave it their all on the catwalk. We laughed, danced and cheered the night away while raising a lot of $ for a great cause!

Go Cardinals!

Elliot took Jaycie to the pre-season game Cardinals vs Saints. He bought her a hat and matching shirt and she was soo stoked. They had a great time together. His report was that she loved all of the food and the people! Football? That is yet to be determined.

Summertime... and the Livin's Easy

Jaycie and I had a date last weekend and it was so fun! We had a picnic (indoors, of course), went to see The American Girl movie (I highly recommend it), then we were off to paint pottery at As You Wish. Here is the unicorn that she painted. An interesting interpretation don't you think?

I was pretty impressed with my cookie jar. Jaycie said now we just need to make some cookies! I asked my sister Brielle where she thought I bought it. She had no idea it was a handcrafted, one of a kind piece by Molly! Does anyone have these colors??? I love it, but it doesn't really match my kitchen. Cookie jar up for grabs!

We are dog sitting for my friends tiny teacup chihuahua "Jibby." He has been sooo much fun for us and we are going to miss him when he goes home!

I love this - Elliot threw on my hot pink flip flops to take Jaycie across the street to the field.

Swim day with Jaymie and Porter - our favorite visitors!

Porter was the funniest swimmer - he would just fall in on purpose and smile underwater until one of us snatched him up!

This is classic Porter. We love you guys!

Elliot took Jaycie to see the movie "Space Chimps" and she got this mask with her ticket. She wore it all day and I thought it looked very life-like (and kind of creepy).
