All in a weeks work

This past week has been great!! Here's the update..

Jenna is WALKING!! On the 6th, she took EIGHT steps!! She's still uncertain about it, but she's so darn cute trying to make her way around!

She has also discovered that the shiny silver thing in the kitchen has stuff in it... the fridge is her new fave place to get into!

My nephew Dash came for a visit from Portland, so we were able to spend some time with him. Derek LOVED having his older "cuz" to play with. We decided to go to Classic Skating with him, and the kids all had a ball. Well, except for Jenna -- at this particular moment. :)
I'm sorry, but no matter how young or old -- EVERYONE gets a grin from winning something from the grabber machines!

Hailey's going to be mortified that I'm posting this, but she struck such a great pose, I couldn't resist!

...arcade games!

This was the first time Derek & Dash had skated, and it was very entertaining to help them around the rink.

I canned peach freezer jam w/ my friend Emily & we had a great time!! Canning projects are ALWAYS better with a friend!

Friday night I decided to take the kids to our local high schools first home football game. We had a fun time. (go thunder!!) Derek was especially excited to be amidst all his friends. Here he is with two of his buddies, Karson & Cambrie. So cute!!
