The Acree Boys Babysit

The boys spent some time hanging out over the weekend as well. Aaron on the couch, Jayden in the jumper, and Adam in the chair. Whatever works, right?

A Long Ride in the Car

Jayden and his new blankie from Nana's house. Looks like we will be buying some just like it very soon. How to survive a 3 hr car ride when you are 4 months old? A dvd and Mommy in the backseat the whole time.

Finally, after a very long weekend in the car and visiting, Jayden decides to fall asleep!

Jayden's 1st Thanksgiving

Jayden celebrated his first Thanksgiving in Mt. Carmel this year. We traveled to both sets of grandparents while we were there. Jayden was PERFECT on Thanksgiving. He put on a show with laughs, kicks, screams, and smiles. Everyone fell in love with him! It was also a nice weekend because I had no class, which meant I was able to spend a little more time with my baby without the distraction of housework and homework. We also were able to spend some time with Aaron! He did not have the distraction of construction work or deer hunting like he usually does on the weekends. We enjoyed our time as a family!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Eric really wanted to play with Jayden. As you can see, Jayden really didn't want to at that moment.

Jayden meets Lia and Alex

On Wednesday, before we left for the weekend, we had a chance to visit with Marcy's sister Suzy and her family. Suzy and Steve live in Canada and have two adorable little children, Lia and Alex. Lia will be 3 in December and Alex was born this October. We can't wait to visit with them again. Alex and Jayden visiting with each other!

Lia and Jayden. He is almost as big as her!

Laugh in the Bath

Jayden thought the splashing was funny. Listen carefully to hear his little laugh. The video was taken on my cell phone, so not the best quality.

LittleTurkey

Jayden showing me his feet. He actually did it when I told him to, pure accident, but it worked! Look at that chubby face!

This year for Thanksgiving, we will be heading down to Mt. Carmel. Jayden is all ready to go with his 1st Thanksgiving outfits and new jammies. He won't be eating turkey this year, but I bet he would love to! We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and safe holiday weekend!

Jayden is 4 months old!

Today is Jayden's 4 month birthday! He goes to the doctor in 2 weeks for his 4 month shots and check up. I am guessing he is going to weigh close to 15 lbs and be 25 inches long. I guess we will find out in a few weeks. Today when I took Jayden to my Dad's house, they had a Christmas blanket for him. He loved it and then decided to take a little nap with it this evening.

Fun time with Friends

This weekend we finally had a chance to catch up and hang out with our Tville friends. It seems that all of us have been busy with something every weekend. We enjoyed our night with Partick & Meredith, Sarah & Tyson, and Jason & Kristy. Cute little Jayden and cute little Henry got to hang out as well. Soon enough, another little man will be hanging out with us too! Can't wait for another date night with our friends! Tyson and Aaron wore Patrick's Illini Santa hats outside while they sat around the fire. The boys had a good time hanging out together while the girls sat inside talked and watched two cute little babies!

Jayden looks like a giant, but he was really happy! It was fun seeing them together. I am sure it is going to be even more fun as they grow and more little babies join their club!

J and Aunt May

On Tuesday, Madeline was out of school for Parent-Teacher conferences and it was Jayden's day out at Dad's house. Madeline was in heaven because Jayden was at her house all day. She just cannot get enough of him. She loves him so much! When he wouldn't go down for a nap, she decided that she would just hold him and he would fall asleep. Well-they both fell asleep! Good job Aunt May!

Happy Guy

Happy because Mommy was sitting in the backseat with her baby boy!!

Jayden's Highchair

We opened up Jayden's highchair last week and tested it out. He really doesn't mind it. I am able to get a lot more done in the kitchen because he will sit and watch. We also tried to see how he would like some bananas. He didn't, so we will just try when he is about 3 months older. It was pretty funny!

First time in the highchair.

Just watching mommy cook and clean.

Jayden's Walker

Jayden got a new toy a few weeks ago. He has now grown enough to reach the floor. He moves and little bit when we put him in the walker. It is a sight to see!

Adan and Livia turn 4

Adan and Livia turned 4 on November 5th. They had their party this past weekend. Aunt Lori went to the resuce and bought some "bad guys" at the store after Adan stormed off because he did not want clothes. He wanted "bad guys".

This is what Adan did when he found out that there were no "bad guys" in his Spiderman gift bag.

With big sister Reagan. She is the one who is "in charge" out of the 3.

The twins! Goofy Adan and a very happy Princess Livia!

Sarah's Getting Married!!

On October 31, my best friend Sarah got engaged to Nik! We are so excited for both Sarah and Nik. They have set a date of August 21, 2010! I am looking forward to the next 10 months hearing about Sarah's plans and giving her any help she needs. I can't wait to stand up with her at her wedding. Nik is one lucky guy!
