happy 2ND birthday jyla grace!!

so the past 2 days have been FULL of celebrating!!! 

it almost feels like a holiday having 2 birthdays in a row! 

WOW! 

lots of fun stuff has been going on!! 

& I will fill all of you "out of town family" in on that later....

but for now, i'm exhausted...needing to head to bed...

but I just HAD to post of few pics of our newest girlie!

what's that in her hands??

addalie, jyla & i had a birthday photo shoot over the weekend & i had Scott bring some caramel apples home from market to use for it. 

i figured it would be a good way to keep them sitting still....at least for a few minutes....

it worked!

i will post more of those pics later...

i'm pretty sure jyla never had a caramel apple before..but she was ALL SMILES with it!! 

for some silly reason, this picture makes it look like Jyla has no teeth?????

but i still like the picture because it is her "true" smile.

she does have teeth....

although she is still teething.  her molars aren't through yet. 

but she has a mouthful of pearly whites.

little girl under BIG tree!

& yes those are jeggings thank you!!

quite cute on her if i do say so myself & really practical seeing as regular jeans just

we all  LOVE HER TO PIECES!!

we are still "learning" each other..but even through it all we see such a sweet spirit in her.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JYLA GIRL!

Cannot wait to experience this next year of your life with you!
