Jamaica!!!

 Montego Bay, Jamaica

 One of the pools at our resort...so pretty!

 The beautiful view we saw everyday.

 Jarrad and I booked a private dinner on the beach. 

The food was ok, but it was really neat.

 Another dinner night...did I mention how hot and humid

Jamaica is?!

 Sarah(the bride) and I. Isn't she beautiful?!

She is such a good friend.

 If you look in the back of this picture,

you can see rooms that are connected to the pool.

We of course, stayed in the cheapest room and we barely could afford that. :)

 Day of Sarah's wedding. It was beautiful, but really,really,

HOT! 

 Courtney(Sarah's sister), Julie(friend) and I.

 I took this the day we were leaving. It was the 

nicest building I saw in Jamaica. Most looked like 

shacks.

I love this picture! I took this from the plane the day we left.

The first week in August, Jarrad and I were on our way to Negril, Jamaica!  Our friend/neighbor Sarah invited us to go see her and her fiance' Brett get married.  Jarrad and I usually, like to take a nice vacation just the two of us every few years or so. And, since Sarah's wedding was around our anniversary we decided, Let's Go!!  I'm so glad we did.  It was such a nice time.  Traveling there seemed to take forever, but once we got there it was worth it. Our resort was beautiful!

Our activities included, laying out, eating, pool, Pina Coladas(virgin of course), laying out and of course eating!!  We did go kayaking and that was about as ambitious as we got with activity.  I seriously gained 5 pounds in 4 days!! That' s what happens when you go to an all inclusive resort. :)  It was so nice to not have anything to do.  Probably, Jarrad and I's only complaint was that we couldn't go tour around Jamaica.  It's not a very safe place, so we were mostly confined to our resort, but it was still a wonderful time. Sarah and Brett's wedding was really nice and we made some great memories there. Looking at these pictures makes me want to go back!

Happy 4th Birthday Kylen!!!

On July 9th, my youngest turned 4 years old!  Kylen is our little spitfire!  I always joke that if he was born first, he would have been an only child. :-) He is so animated and he loves anything super hero and...Justin Bieber.  His favorite super heroes are Batman, Spiderman and Superman. This is a nice change for us because most of you know that Jayden and Talan or car nuts and we have every car toy known to man.  So, it's so nice to buy some different toys for a change.

His was spoiled to death with super hero toys from all the family, but his big present from us was the Batcave.  You can kinda see it in the last picture.  He was so excited about that.  Jarrad once again, did an awesome job on Ky's Spider man cake.  We didn't do a big party for him, but on his actual birthday we took his best friend Ava and our neighbors London and Roman to the McDonald's play place in town.  They had a good time together!

Happy 4th Birthday Kylen!!!  We love you!!  Thanks for keeping us on our toes and giving us some good laughs! 

Happy 9th Birthday Jayden!

You know when you're in a store and your baby is screaming in the cart and some old lady comes and says to you, "Enjoy your little ones now because they grow up so fast and you'll miss this."  And, you nod your head and think you're crazy lady.  I'll never miss a screaming baby. While I don't really miss the screaming part, I agree with the "crazy store lady" that my babies are growing up way too fast!  My first baby, Jayden turned 9 years old on May 31st!  He's such a good boy too.  We couldn't be more proud of how this kid is turning out. He gets a lot of his good traits from his mother, so it's understandable. :-)

He had some friends for a sleepover and lots of fun toys.  His big present from us was a bigger bike.  His Grandma and Grandpa Asay were able to come up and give him his Skylanders game, which was really cool, since they don't get up here that often.  Next year, I may cry when I write his birthday post because he'll be in double digits!  Happy 9th Birthday Jayden! We love you!
