Jocelyn's First Camping Trip!



We recently went camping at Scales Lake with my sister's family. We got rained out the first night so we had a late start and the gnats were pretty annoying during the day, but otherwise, it was a good time! Jocelyn always enjoys being with her cousins. Her and Grace had fun crawling around in their huge tent. Jocelyn and Daddy slept pretty well in our little tent, but I barely slept at all. We had a rat hanging out with us at our camp site- a pet rat someone must have lost or let loose. Of course, Brooke had to name it (Templeton) and Levon kept feeding it!



Mimi came to visit with Sunny the horse to take the kids on little rides. This was Jocelyn's first time around a horse and she was very interested! She kept reaching for him and pointing. I'm really hoping that she doesn't take to horses as much as Grace did because I don't want her riding any time soon! I don't trust those unpredictable animals with my baby!


Here is Anteneh holding the fish that Daryn caught.

Luke and Anteneh were big helpers to Levon by carrying firewood.


Everyone is ready with their floaties on to get in the boat for a ride!



Helping Daddy finish an apple!

This is such a funny shot. Brooke is about to try to put Grace on the horse. The angle makes it look like Grace and Brooke are dwarfs standing on a table next to my mom and the horse who look like giants! Brooke almost peed her pants she was laughing so hard when she saw it!
Poor Luke is being subject to Jocelyn's hair pulling addiction!

Exciting news.....Jocelyn took her first steps this week! We were staying at my Dad's house in Vincennes for a couple days when she did it. I will post pictures from that visit next week!

Mommy's funny little mohawk girl!



So sweet no matter happy or sad!





What Jocelyn has been up to these days...
  • standing up alone..longer & longer each time!

  • licking air conditioning vents

  • giving hugs

  • pulling hair

  • playing chase down the hallway

  • pointing to everthing and saying "da"

  • climbing stairs like a big kid

  • grinding her 4 teeth together (2 top, 2 bottom)

  • spitting water out and laughing

  • enjoying the many pictures around the house

  • developing a sweet tooth (I caught Levon offering her a bite of a chocolate bar...are you kidding me!?)

  • rolling balls around like a soccer player

  • squeeling with delight when spotting kids in stores

  • becoming more interested in books...chewed through a couple board books!

  • experiencing separation anxiety when Mommy is away...or even in the next room!



    Enjoying some yummy corn on the cob!

Just Me and My Girlfriends!



Hanging out at the park with Sarah Grace who is about 6 weeks younger than Jocelyn. Their mommies were pregnant together at La Petite Academy.


Checking each other out from the safety of their strollers!


Trying out the swings with Grace.


We got to see Katie over the weekend who is carrying Jocelyn's soon to be BFF, whose name shall remain a secret until her birth in early September! Come on, just tell us!!


Ella was in town! We love to see her and her momma. Her are the girls right before swimming in Ella's Grandma's pool. It was Jocelyn's first time in a real big pool. Of course, she loved it.


Two girls who look just like their Daddies! Ella turns 1 on June 13th! She is 3 months older than Jocelyn. Time has flown by.


I love how they are examining each other in this picture!


What a great week we had hanging out with our friends!
