Our babes...

Turns out I wrote this blog post a year ago and never posted it.... So before I write another updated post on our journey, I'll go ahead and hit publish on this one :)



It's crazy it's been a year since our last family update! We have been a little busy adding another one to the bunch :)

Here's a little update on Tenley, who is now THREE!

Tenley has took on her roll as a big sister for sure, she was a little hesitant for first couple months but Im pretty certain she loves having him around, most of the time. Tenley is pretty obsessed with Christmas, you will hear her sing Christmas songs a couple times a week if not once a day, so it's a good thing it's almost here again. I finally was able to put the nativity set away back in April. She will randomly ask where "Mar Mar" and "Jophes" are along with baby Jesus.

Tenley is a big fan of going on pretend picnics and bear hunts. Thanks to her grandma Trotter, who taught her about bear hunts, we hunt for bears ALL. DAY. LONG. Tenley also loves seek and find books. She has a Frozen one and a Princess one.  Tenley recieves highlight magazines every month and they also have a page with seek and find. She looks forward to getting her new magazine in the mail!

PUZZLES! She still LOVES puzzles. One time while we were at grandma Trotters house she was able to do a 16 piece puzzle all by herself. Tenley is a bookworm for sure, she will sit quietly in her room when I am busy with Jett and get ALL her books off her bookshelf and "read" them.  Adam and I had Tenely do swimming lessons this summer and lets just say... she cried... a lot but it got better. We just enrolled her in dance class and it's the cutest thing ever.

I started to do some preschool things with Tenley and she just loves to learn! We have been learning the states and she can identify and name 12 states. We are working on spelling her name and tracing her letters. She also is learning bible verses and it's just so awesome.

Tenley, like a lot of little girls, is a BIG fan of Frozen. She knows all the songs and we have to act out parts of the movie most days. She is always Elsa :) For her 3rd birthday we had a day filled with the 4 of us plus grandma and grandpa Trotter and everything FROZEN!

one of our favorite lines Tenley says "I just love you all the time"


Here's a little bit about Jett Edward :)

Tenley and Jett our like night and day! I felt like a new mom all over again and at times thought, I have NO idea what I am doing or what else to do. Although he is very laid back and go with the flow, he has challenged us for sure :)

For awhile if it were up to Jett, he would have mommy hold him all day...all day! He has gotten better and explores and plays more. Tenley and Jett are really starting to play together! He gets bored very easily and needs to change things up every 5-10 minutes. His favorite thing to do is take a bath! As soon as we go into the bathroom he gets so excited and starts to squeal!

His little personality is really starting to show. He is so funny just like his sissy. For awhile, I thought Jett was going to take after me and be more shy, reserved or should we say...an introvert haha but he may just be like his daddy and sissy! Jett for sure is a momma's boy and I sure hope he stays that way, he melts my heart!

Jett is ONE! 

The boy can pull some serious hair! Poor Tenley seems to always be the victim. She will walk by him and some how he can grab her hair so fast, he has some ninja like skills for sure. Poor Prince has been the victim too many times as well. Tenley is so sweet and will give Jett toys and try and play with him. I pray they are close as they get older and have a special bond. I also pray Tenley starts playing with Jett more than prince...that poor dog. Prince at some point in the day will have some kind of dress up clothes on. Prince is truly Tenley's best friend.
