October

Jada enjoyed celebrating her 2nd birthday. She got a ton of great gifts, thank you all!

Her love of horses went beyond waving at them from the car and feeding them treats to actually riding one!

Jada dressed up as Belle. She is talking so much it is neat to hear her refer to herself as a Princess :)

Moo! Happy Halloween! Jada wasn't sure about her costume until she saw others dressed up. (my mom helped over my shoulder but I made her costume) She loved Halloween this

year, we trick or treated for almost 2 hours.

We started tumbling at the YMCA. Sarah went with us to help, it was so much fun! I can only imagine the stunts she gonna try at home:)

With about 4 weeks until sis/bro is here we are busy getting ready. Al and his mom painted the nursery grey and turquoise (I am planning on adding pink or orange once we know the sex). My mom and I are sewing black and white bedding. When I ask Jada if she wants a brother or a sister she says "no", but if I ask if she wants a baby she says "yes 2!" I guess we will see how she feels once the baby is here.

Summer

From riding in Grandma's convertible to making mud pies we had a great summer!

Jada took Red Cross swimming lessons at Harmon Park the first week of August. Although she was one of the youngest in the group the teacher was very impressed with how comfortable she was in the water. She didn't want to go under water but was more than willing to go down the Hurricane slide with her dad (this scared mom a bit)!

We took Dubs to the Centennial Puppy Plunge mid August. He loves the water as much as Jada!

Jada had her first haircut at the end of August. I had been putting this off not wanting to cut her "baby hair" but it had to be done. Since then she has told everyone she got a haircut. She was out in the rain the other day and was disturbed that her haircut was getting rained on :) It was very cute.

Sarah decided to run cross country for school this year, as much as Jada likes to be outside this is a good sport to watch. She loved the sandpits at the Centura Golf Course!

With Fall approaching we were glad to get a chance to run thru the sprinkler one more time.

To keep busy this Fall Jada is taking a Kindermusik class at Yandas and starting November a Tumbling class at the YMCA.

Friends and Family :)

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Here's a short summary of whats been going on the past couple of months...

In April we found out we are expecting, so the first week of December lil' baby Byrn number 2 will arrive. We have decided to have the sex be a surprise! Although Jada doesn't fully understand we believe she will be a great big sister.

At the end of June we took our first big family vacation! We spent 9 days in Charlotte NC visiting Tiff, Preston and Roy (1yr. old Basset Hound). It was Jada's first plane ride. She had her face pressed against the window checking out the scenery, then settled into her seat and watched movies, it was great! We went to Carowinds park, where we played in the water park then rode the carousel. We ate a ton of great food, painted pottery, shopped, checked out downtown and just hung out. It was a great trip!

We spent some time at Johnsons Lake for the 4th of July and enjoyed the neighborhood fireworks.

Last week we took Jada to the Lincoln Children's Zoo.




Lots of Love

The Byrns
