extra crispy

Hello everyone, Do you like your shoulders "extra crispy"?. Yeah so we went to the lake yesterday and we are a little red to say the least. We were smart enough to lather Jayda in sunscreen and Steve and I, well not so smart. We had a really awesome day though!. We went with some friends of ours that have two little boys. Steve and Tom fished while Caroline and I sat and "baked" for the day. You know it sure is nice to have friends. I mean REAL friends. Ones that don't want anything other than to hang out. It's something I'm still getting used to and I'm really starting to enjoy it!! Anyhow, I figured I'd post a pic of Jayda since she's just so Gosh Darn Beautiful!! Hope everyone is staying cool,
Luv Katy

waiting patiently

So Mom calls early yesterday morning to say Carmen is in labor - it is now the next day and still no baby. So we wait patiently for the call. I guess I shouldn't talk, Carmen is the one who is having to put up with the pain and stuff. I sympathize with her. Monday Steve, Jayda and I will be going to Calgary to meet the newest little family memeber. I can't wait!!
YEAH for me for finally figuring out the picture thing!! Isn't she beautiful! All is going really good, hope everyone else is good too!
luv Katy

My first attempt at posting a picture - I hope it's the right one.........

night out

Steve and I get a night out tonight!! Nana and Papa are comming in so they are going to watch Jayda and we we will go out to the show. It's funny how much has changed in the past year. I never would have imagined that I would be excited to go to the movies on a friday night. I like this life much, much more - as does the rest of the family I 'd assume:) So Jayda continues to grow and grow. We had to change the setting on her car seat a couple days ago 'cause she was getting to squished the way it was. We also have to think about moving her from the bassinet to her crib. She is almost too long to fit!! She has had a couple naps during the day in her crib and so far so good. I think the transition will be harder on Steve and I than Jayda:) We went and bought a baby monitor so that we are ready for "the big night". This is actually sorta funny due to the fact that we have a small house and Jayda's bedroom is right across the hall from ours. I bet there is maybe only 4 meters from our bed to hers. It makes us feel better though. Anyhow, mom and dad just showed up so I gotta go,
Luv Katy

Growing so fast

Jayda is 28 days old already!! She has grown 3 inches and has outgrown a couple of her sleepers. I'm excited that she is doing so well and growing but at the same time I wish she'd stay tiny forever. So we've had a busy week. Saturday and Sunday Nana, Jayda and I went to Calgary to see Dan, Carmen and Hannah. The trip went really good. Hannah is sooooooo pretty and was EXCELLENT with Jayda. A real care-taker! Then Monday and Tuesday Steve, Jayda and I went to Edson. That also went well. Jayda travels really good so far. We came home Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday Steve's parents came up from B.C.. They are leaving tomorrow morning. It was great seeing them. Jayda gets along very well with grandma and grandpa Winjet - The two little girls living in our basement suite really took a liking to them also. Needless to say I'm EXHAUSTED and though I'm sad to see our company leave, I can't wait for a little down time. Some more on Jayda - She has begun to imitate our mouth movements to try and make sounds. She smiles lots with a beautiful big smile and cute little dimples. She has one special little toy cat and every time it plays music she smiles. It's so cute:) It was boiling hot out today so right now Jayda is sprawled out on our ottoman in her diaper. I will attempt to post pictures with this post. Well that's about it. Hope everyone is doing well.

Baby makes three

baby makes three

She has finally arrived! Jayda Rain Winjet graced this world with her presence May 6th at 1:48pm weighing in at 7pounds and 7ounces - just like mommy!! I took awhile to start posting but now that I've started hopefully I'll keep it up. Considering Jayda is only 13 days old she has done a lot already. We have been out and about almost every day. To start with it kinda sucked going in the truck cause we had Jaydas car seat in wrong and her head kept flopping forward. It was probably more traumatizing for me than her but it's all fixed now.
On the 15th Jayda rolled from her tummy onto her back. We thought that was pretty cool because she was only 9 days old. Of course we called nana right away to tell her and she was equally excited. Yesterday was also exciting. Papa came in and he, Steve and I took Jada to her first BALL GAME!!! The Cracker Cats won 4-2 and Jayda slept through the whole thing (except when I took her out of her seat to take pictures) Again it's probably a bigger deal to me than her but one day she'll realize the excitement of it!! She's the youngest cracker cats fan ever, it can't get any better than that!! Oh I should also mention how exciting the game was for Steve. He got to have his FIRST(and second) ball park hot dog. His exact words were I've waited 30 years for this!! In short, he really enjoyed himself. As did Dad and I.

Anyhow, I think that's enough for now. Jayda has her first pediatritian appt. today. I'll keep ya posted,
xoxo Katy
