We made it...

Jacee and I had quite an exciting day yesterday. We went to Oklahoma City yesterday morning to take my friend Amber out to eat for her birthday. I checked the weather before we left and it said there was a chance for rain, but seeing as its only February, I didn't think it would be a huge deal. Boy was I wrong!!!! When I arrived in OKC, the sky's were clear and it was beautiful. After lunch we decided to go to Penn Square Mall to look around and kill some time. We realized about an hour later that there were tornadoes touching down all around us. I will now always be aware of the weather while in "tornado alley". It was a very surreal feeling to be in the middle of such chaos. We just thank God that we made it home safely and that the damage was not any worse than it was. I feel for all the people who lost their homes, and even their loved ones. I also want to thank everyone who called to check on us yesterday. I hope we didn't scare you all too bad with our little day trip.

Though I had good intentions, I failed to get any pictures yesterday. I will leave you with some older pics of Miss Jacee that I haven't posted yet.

Amber, I hope you had a wonderful birthday, at least you can't say it was uneventful ;-p

Jacee asked me to also post a very special HAPPY BIRTHDAY for her Nana today. She can't wait to see you and be your "dancin' baby girl" this weekend. She's also very ready to see her Papa and her Bubba an Saturday. Y'all have a safe trip and we will see you soon.

Just a little note.....

...to say thank you to all who prayed for Jacee to start feeling better. She seems to be feeling more like her self and even laughed for about 30 minutes today. Those of you who know her well know that something is wrong if she doesn't have a smile on her face and a giggle for new people. We hope to be on the up side of the virus.
Here is Jacee in her new John Deere shirt she got for Christmas. She asked me to show it off on her blog tonight.
Here are Jacee and her Daddy goofing off. (one of Daddy's favorite pastimes)
We recently had a visit from a dear friend of mine and her two daughters. This is Jacee and Jenson, her new best friend. Believe it of not, Jenson is the older of the two by 4 months. Jacee taught Jenson to drink out of a straw, and Jenson taught Jacee how to take her clothed off after Mommy gets her dressed. Thank you Jenson and thank goodness for onsies.


Well, I think Jacee is just about ready for bed so I will end this now. Again, thank you for all the prayers.



Talk to you all soon,
Leslie

Here Goes

I know its been a while since my last post. Jacee has been very busy the past few weeks. She wants to walk so bad. We caught this picture of her standing completely by accident. She is convinced that she can balance, so she will just let go, then get mad when she falls to the ground. I know it won't be long now before she will be completely mobile. As excited as I am, I will cherish the non mobile time I have left.
This picture was taken the day Daddy taught Jacee to play cards. While she still needs help, she has the "distract your opponent" going great. With her help I actually won a few hands.
This is why we were playing cards. The guys were off work for about 3 days because of the wonderful, cold weather we had. I don't think it got out of the teens the whole time and we were around 0 or lower at nights. Let me assure you, pipes and tanks WILL freeze in a travel trailer. The best part was when the pipes finally gave way, we were 35 miles away and my husband left the faucet on full blast. The trailer was a bit soggy when we got back. I'm just so glad it wasn't me that forgot to shut it off.
Here is one last picture of Miss Jacee. I just really love the look on her face. She adores her Daddy so much and you can really tell it in this picture. There are so many more story's and pictures to share, but the program I use will only allow 4 per page. I will add more in a little while. Until then, enjoy these. I will also try to put lots more on facebook and myspace.

Talk to you all soon.
