Update on Jenna.....

For those of you who are wondering Jenna is doing very well. The Dr. was very pleased with how the skin grafts took. We go back to him on Monday. The area on her groins seems to be doing fine also. The grafting sites look worse to me than her hands. I was not expecting those scars to be as big as they are. All in all we are all doing well! Continue to pray for us. For those who are wondering what her hands look like I am posting a picture. This is what they look like now. We didn't take any pictures before, but trust me they look a million times better!!!!


You can see on both hands where they got caught. Her right hand was worse. They look great!

Jenna's first accident

I think most everyone knows by now about Jenna's big accident with the treadmill. I just wanted to post a few pics so everyone could see her boo boos. She had about 6 total if you include two IV's and her two skin graft sites on her groin. She is doing well we think and hopefully will recover 100 %. We go back to see Dr. Gupta on Thursday. Please keep us all in your prayers as this is a very hard time for us.

I think here she was dancing. You can not stop her!

Just resting for a few minutes........

Sister was very glad for all of us to be home.



What a trooper she is............!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all. We did not really get a great picture of the girls in their dress. It is really no big deal to me anyway, since we dress up every Sunday, but we still of course make a big deal out of it. Like getting to eat candy for breakfast! So here they are..........




Jenna loves to pose for the camera..........


Here they are eating candy.....first thing in the morning......Nothing that their Momma hasn't done before!

Coloring Easter Eggs.......

The girls and I colored Easter eggs on Friday. Needless to say it was a little messy. They sure did have fun. What a mess..................




Silly faces......

Here is the finished product. Most of the eggs got cracked.

The bitty baby............

Jenna loves to climb into this baby doll pack & play. Aren't these some of the sweetest pics!

Rock & Roll

I know I have indicated in the past that Lindsey loves to have fun..........This shows a little more of her fun personality. Not that Jenna doesn't like to have fun, but Lindsey is all about it at all times! She will love to ride roller coasters! Mike is just sure of it.

Fun in the sun....or not!

We went to Panama City Beach a few weeks ago. The weather this time of year there is not always the greatest, and of course for us it was too cold! We were able to take the girls down to the beach for about 3 hours total. We took Mike's Sister with us to help with the girls. We left Louisville at about 7:00 pm and drove until Lindsey started crying out in her sleep " I stuck, don't like it!" Well Momma got the point and told Daddy real quick to find a hotel! We made it most of the way that night. Of course during the transfer to the room the girls woke up. That had fun jumping on the beds in the hotel. All in all it was nice to get away, but once again we said we will never go to the beach this time of year again! Here's a few pics from the trip.......

Jenna had been eating cookies! Can you tell?

Jumping on the bed!

The 4 of us really did pile into 1 bed! Momma got NO sleep.........Keep in mind the girls NEVER sleep with us!

Lindsey loved the tissue holder in the vanity!

We were on the 14th floor of our condo. The girls loved it!


Aunt Kara paints the girls toenails........

What a pretty sunset


Not the best picture but it's all I got!

Big Girl Beds.............

Okay, so I am really far behind. This is an attempt to catch up. Hopefully the girls will stay asleep and I will get done!

Lots of cool stuff has happened since our last post. One major thing was getting big girl beds! The girls were climbing in and out of their cribs, so we decided that it would be best if we took them down! They are doing really well in the new beds. At nap time I have to put up pack-&-plays because they climb in and out if they are in the same room. So nap time the girls get separated. One in our room, and the other in their room. This seems to be working well! At night the girls go climb into their own bed and we don't hear another peep until the next morning. It is so much fun having two little babies the same exact age. In the morning when one wakes up they will usually wake the other up. Sometimes we will hear them open the bedroom door and then they come climb into our bed. But 9 times out of 10 they just lay in there together and talk to each other until I go in to get them. The very first thing that they always say is "I want something to eat". They are both talking very well. They are putting sentences together like crazy. One thing is for sure they grow up WAY TOO FAST!

So all you guys out there who have to put stuff together should be thankful that you only have to put together one of everything. Poor Mike has to do 2 of everything!

Here we are our first night in our new beds.....

So far this has only happened 2 times.........Jenna fell out of the bed and was sleeping like this! This was in the middle of the night (well their night, they go to bed at 7:30). No we did not turn the light on, that was just the flash!

Sisterly Love...........

These pictures say it all. We are so blessed with these two very precious little girls!!!!

Ketchup bath.............

Last night at dinner the girls decided to take a bath in ketchup! What a big mess we had on our hands!


Jenna was taking her hands and just rubbing it in like lotion!






Lindsey is not as messy when eating. She wants to make sure that it all goes into her mouth!

Our sweet little girls.......

So, the girls are growing up way too fast...........I just wanted to let all know some of the sweet things they have learned to do:

Jenna Rae: Loves to dip all of her food. It does not matter what it is, she has to dip.......and if you don't give her dip she continues to let you know that she still needs her DIP!

She loves the Wiggles, Elmo and Bambi.........if she wants to watch something she will say: Watch Wiggles........and so on with all of her favorites.

When watching the Wiggles they have a song called Rolling down the sand hills. Both of the girls get down on the floor and begin to roll on the ground. Then when the part comes to run back up the sand hills Lindsey gets up and runs very quickly in place. It is so funny. I think that we are going to send it in to America's Funniest Home Video's................

If Jenna needs to go potty she will take all of her clothes off. This is not the way I envisioned potty training. But you learn to do whatever works.

Lindsey Ann: Also loves to dip everything that goes into her mouth as well. She also lets you know if you forgot dip. Tonight they dipped mac & cheese in ketchup! Yuck!!

She also loves to watch the Wiggles, Elmo and Bambi. We have dvd's in the car and this is the first thing that Lindsey says when we get in "Watch Wiggles"........It drives me crazy. I don't understand why we have to watch TV in the car. We didn't have a tv in our car when we were kids and we all made it.

She also loves to WRITE. This is her most favorite thing to do. From first thing in the morning until bedtime she constantly is asking to write. We are sure she is the next GREAT novelist.

Lindsey has a tendency to get things (words) on the brain, and doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. One of her most classic is when she calls for Mammy & Pop and Auntie & Uncle. I think that she is currently IN LOVE with Uncle Perry. She will repeat his name 30 times or more before stopping!

Both of the girls love to be hugged and kissed. They will run up to me during the day and say Hug or Kiss and then we have to Hug and Kiss. It is so.....so......so......sweet!

Lindsey loves the Bible story books that Aunt Claudia & family gave us at our baby shower. She loves the story about Zaccheus. Lindsey cannot say Z's yet. So therefore she goes around the house singing the Zaccheus song. She holds her hands up doing the motions. It is so cute. It makes me think that they really do learn what we teach them.

These are just a few things...........I'm sure there are many other things that they do that I am forgetting, but this Momma's mind forgets lots these days!

The Wiggles......again.....

The girls LOVE The Wiggles.........The Wiggles came to Freedom Hall, so of course we had to go! Mammy and Pop went with us. The girls haven't stopped talking about it yet. They love it!


Momma's favorite Wiggle.....Anthony!


Pop has been sick and he wasn't feeling the greatest.....


Thank goodness Mammy and Pop went because I don't know where the girls would have sat!


We took roses to give to Dorothy.

The Circus.....

I am really far behind...........So get ready! Mike took the girls to the circus about a month ago! They had a good time. Daddy lets them do the fun stuff.......(ride on elephants!) Here's a few pics from the Circus........




Jenna didn't really like the clown.....


Wow that is a big elephant....


Daddy and his two little girls

Snowy Days......

We got a little bit of snow this week. Just enough for school to be out and our roads to get bad. Mike came home early and we all headed outside to play. The girls had so much fun. They did not want to go inside after an hour out in the cold! Jenna is not a thrill seeker like her Sister! Lindsey is all about having fun!












Who is having fun here!?

























Cousin Maggie.....













Jenna Rae poses for the camera














They are trying to beg Jenna to go down. She didn't!

And here we have..........The Thrill Seeker!!!!
