Music video

Jada still watches and dances to vacation Bible school music videos from years past. She will pick up on the movements and words every once in a while. She is goofy, too.

A little bit of this and that

Jada on the chair which is under the table. I had to pull her out, she was making me nervous, but she was having so much fun.

Notice the sticker on her hand. She thinks she needs a sticker on her hand at all times.

Pushing the shopping cart box....go figure.

Sharing a strawberrry milk shake.

She is a natural. I don't think she even saw us playing but she picked up the drum sticks and knew what to do. Have to keep the drum sticks out of reach, though, she likes to play drums on the tv screen, too!

more summer travel

Chillin with dad at the hotel in Springdale, AR.

Jada likes grandma sue's "puppies." She would say Sadie (pictured here) and Huey and get so excited to see them both and want to pet and roll her head in their fur. Huey is Jada's favorite, though, he stays outside and she would kiss the glass door when he was on the other side of it. He is only like 160 lbs, so there is a lot of him to love.

Jada sitting in the suit case as mom packs for OH and MO.

Jada knows where her milk cup is, and she tries her hardest to get that door open.

Trip to the St. Louis Zoo with mom and grandma Betsy. We had a ball! Jada really liked the hippo (she kept calling him a puppy), butterflies, a duck (she waddled like the duck), the prairie dogs, and the chicken strips for lunch. She is an animal lover.

Cody has preached at 3 different camps this summer and we attended the FWB National Convention and the AR state meetings....so, as a family we have been in AR, TN, MS, KY, OH, IN, and MO in a span of 2 months. Jada has loved it! She likes to be busy, be on the go, and hang out with people, so all this travel and making new friends has been right up her alley. And let me tell you, she has made many friends everywhere we have been. Even in Wal-Mart jada will say "hi" all sweet to complete strangers. She is a doll. Also, she is saying new words every day...apple, flower, please, thank you, etc...and gives kisses all day long to mom and dad and her little friends at church.

Vacation Bible School

Jada LOVED vacation Bible school this year. She really liked the music and doing the motions along with mom and all the other kids. She did it all by herself...she is so smart!

If You're Happy and You Know it...Ba Ba

So I, cody, was laying Jada down for a nap today and she was playing with one of her toys that plays music. One of the songs was If you are happy and you know it...Everytime it would come to the "clap clap" part she would go "ba ba" and sometimes "ba." I thought at first this is just coinidence. However, after the 5th time the song was played and her doing it I was convienced she was doing it on purpose.

So I told Rebecca about and she just looked at me funny. So I went and got it and showed her and sure enough right on cue. So Rebecca put her to the test and sung it and she was right on cue. So we did our best to get it on video...any time the camera is out she gets distracted...listen closely and you will hear her.

More party stuff

Thank you to all the party goers and party helpers! For Jada's party we focused more on giving back than receiving, so

Jada collected donations for LoveBasket (adoption agency) and Shoahannah's Hope (adoption grant program). I am so happy to announce that $200 was raised, so half will go to each organization in Jada's honor. Thank you guys ! If you would like to donate contact me, or donate online - http://www.lovebasket.org/ http://www.showhope.org/ (both are non-profit).
