The other day I had Jaylee in her swing and I was talking to her and just happened to say no no no and shake my head and to my surprise she did it right back! I hurried and grabbed the camera and got it on film. (It's dang cute right now but it won't be later!)

Jaylee Update
So I can't believe our little girl is already 4 1/2 months old. Time has flown by and she is getting so big. She has had a lot of firsts in these last few weeks, like first time rolling over, first time laughing out loud, first time eating rice cereal, and she can now grab onto things (especially my hair!). She has now found her voice and loves to use it. Here is some cute pics of her
I also posted a couple of videos of her

Much needed Update
Sorry for not updating my blog. I spent almost all of August in Utah with my family. My brother Curtis is doing a lot better and is now in the physical therapy rehab center at the U of U. He spent about 4 weeks in the Intensive Care Unit where he under went at least 5 surgeries, it might have been more but I can't remember. When he first arrived at the hospital he had extensive internal bleeding and they had to remove his spleen because it had ruptured. He had a "brain drain" put in to control the pressure in his head and that has now been replaced with a brain shunt, he also had a tracheotomy done because he punctured his lung and broke 5 ribs and that has now been taken out. They figured that he must have had a stroke due to the trauma so his left side is weak but continually getting better and stronger everyday. He has been able to regain his ability to read, write and talk. Yesterday he was able to take a couple of steps using parallel bars and today he gets to eat his first real meal in weeks. We continually pray that these little miracles will continue each and every day. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support during this rough time for Curt and our family.

Sweet Tender Mercies
I first want to say how much I love my little girl! She is such a blessing in my life. This week has been hard to say the least, I got a call Monday morning from my mom saying that my brother Curtis had been in a serious car accident. He was driving home Sunday night and a truck broad-sided his car. His two kids were in the car with him and miraculously were ok (Abby does have a broken arm, and Max has some bumps and bruises), but my brother on the other hand is in critical condition. I struggled when I heard the news, knowing that I was away and couldn't help. It was hard, especially when Blake had to go to work. But there was my sweet little Jaylee, she was my sweet tender mercy during this hard time. She would look at me concerned and then give me a huge smile, it was like she was telling me things would be okay. And for the most part she was right. Curtis still has a long way to go before he is out of the woods, but they were able to stop the internal bleeding and his brain hemorrhage seems to be decreasing. The doctors say they are cautiously optimistic about his recovery. I want to thank all of those who have been such a good support to my family and Curt at this time. Please keep Curt and our family in your prayers.

Diamond Lake
This past weekend we were able to go to a cabin on Diamond Lake with some of our friends that are in law school with Blake. It felt so nice up there that even I got in the water! Jaylee even took a ride in the paddle boat, but I was too worried to go past the shallow part of the lake with no life jacket for her so we stayed close to the dock. I didn't dare putting her in the water because the week before we went to Coeur d'alene lake and I put her feet in and she screamed at me! Ha ha, she is like me when it comes to cold water. We had so much fun swimming, kayaking, and paddle boating. It was nice to have a weekend away.
