Sometimes I joke that Jacey is going to be the death of me........but in all seriousness she very nearly made my heart stop the other day. I was playing outside with Tyce and Jacey and we live on a very busy road. Jacey was riding her little firetruck down the side walk towards the road where she usually turns around and come back. Well I bent down to talk to Tyce and looked up to see Jacey climb under the gate towards the road. I jumped up and yelled her name and she gave me that "come and get me" smile and took off running to the road.....I sprinted over and grabbed her just as she crossed the white line.....there was car coming, which actually saw her and was stopping to miss her before I got to her. It really was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I just held her and cried and my hands and legs didnt stop shaking for an hour after..... So so incredibly grateful the driver of that car was watching and slowed down....
As much as I joke about Jacey being the very devil (ha!) she really is the light of my life. Look at this face, how could she note be :) She has so much personality.....she is absolutely hysterical and makes me laugh so hard so many times throughout the day. She is sassy and conniving, but somehow tender and almost sweet sometimes too. She is the biggest tease and I swear she already has 'little man's syndrome'. She has no idea how little she is and is pretty sure she is the biggest one in nursery.
I find her in the sink quite often as well as playing in the toilet and bath tub......I think she has built up a hefty immune system for all the disgusting things I have found in her mouth but she seriously never gets sick so I guess thats a good trade off :) (knock on wood)
Tyce does his best to tolerate her. She has quite a vicious streak as she claws, bites, pinches, hits, etc.... Tyce always has a scratch on his face from her. Rustin use to ask what happened when a new wound would show up on his face but now he just says, "Jacey did that?" lol... She loves to steal Tyce's toys just to get a rise out of him. She'll steal something and take off running and chuck it before he tackles her.....at which point she crys and then attempts it again. She is seriously so wild.... but makes me laugh ALL the time.
She is a pretty good eater and LOVES green beans and pea's. How awesome is that? After Tyce who has eaten maybe 3 vegetables in his life, it thrills me to death to have her eat good food.
If she finds a tupperware of pea's in the fridge she goes nuts and hands them to me to open. She eats them cold or warm and I love it!
Her hair is now long enough for pig tails and its the cutest thing!
She is obsessed with books and has trashed so many books that I cant even get them from the library anymore bc I'm so sick of paying for the missing pages :)
She is quick to giggle and give hugs and kisses. She loves to talk to people and absolutely loves nursery. The first time she went, she walked right in, never looked back. When I came to pick her up, she cried and wanted nothing to do with me...... She found a whole world of new friends and toys and she wasnt about to leave. It was so funny :)
Well, Jacey really is something else. She is into EVERYTHING and makes me crazy sometimes. Especially since she learned out to get out of her crib, open doors, and how to get outside all in the same week. But she really is a delight and she brightens my every day. She is such a funny little person and I am so grateful I have her. I really do love my little girl :)
Ha! I started this post forever ago and didnt realize I never posted it....lol....Anyhow, here are some pics of my nephew Keaton. He was the beast in the beauty and the beast play and it was so fun to watch. He was great.
Let me tell you about my friend Cali. She and I have one of those "love at first sight" story's but not in a creepy way. The first time I met her was playing basketball with mutual friend. I remember watching her walk in and instantly felt like I really liked her. We started chatting and it felt like we had known each other for several life times........ Well that was the beginning of my very favorite friendship. Right when I think we couldnt possibly be more connected, something happens...... We had our hearts broken at the same time by stupid boys, we got married within a few months of each other. Had our first baby within a few months of each other, our birthdays are within four days of each other. Our husbands birthdays are in the same month.....not that that has anything to do with anything....but ya know......We just seem to do the same thing at the same time and its so nice to have so much in common with such a dear friend. Its so nice to be so understood, so not criticized, so excepted, and so 12 years old when we get together :) I love her to the core. She is truly wonderful. Well, we went to a ReAl game awhile ago and no one could have believed us to be sober when in fact, we were probably of the minority as being such. We laughed til we cried and I even peed a little.....which happens a lot with sudden bursts of laughter.... it was so dang fun:)
These pics arent even the half of it.....Might kife some from Cali that depict the evening a little better. But sure love you Cal! Thank you :D
