New Name Ideas?

People keep asking me what I am going to change the blog to when I have Dylan. I honestly don't have an answer, so I was hoping you could help me. I guess the web address will have to stay the same but I need help with a new blog header/title. Should it be The Joy of Jenna and Dylan? Or should I come up with something totally different and new? Ideas?


Since I can't do a blog post without a picture of miss Jenna. Here is Jenna wishing you a Happy 4th of Thanksgiving? Most kids dressed up like pilgrims or Indians but Jenna decided to dress up like Uncle Sam. Gotta love her.

Hmmmm.....

I copied this picture from my friend Amy's blog. Amy is Evan's mom and if you remember, I did a blog post about Evan recently. Jenna LOVES Evan. She talks about him all the time, prays for him at night and lights up when she sees him. We went to Evan's birthday party this Friday and Amy took a picture of some of the kiddos.
DO YOU SEE MY DAUGHTER? WHAT IS SHE DOING!?


1) This is NOT even Evan.
2) That is Noah, a boy that she just met that day!
3) I think I was standing right there when the picture was taken and did not notice any hanky panky going on.
4) Isn't a 2 year old party a little young for kissing games!?

OK- Just had to share this pic because it made me laugh out loud. Thanks Amy! Jenna might be able to hang out at your house when she's like 30.

Wildlife Ranch

Yesterday, Jeb had off for Veteran's Day so we headed to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch with Grandma, Pop Pop, Uncle Sam, and Derek. We all had a great time. We drove around the park and fed the animals. I think Jenna's favorite part was that she got to ride in the car, not in her car seat.


Checking out the animals. Sadly, I didn't know what half of them were!




The zebras were quite "friendly" and SO beautiful close up.



Jenna of course had no fear.


Mom was a different story. This guy came right in and sneezed all over me. And my sweet husband thought it would be so funny to lock the window so I couldn't roll it up! True Love.


Lots of ostriches, who are also not shy.
Come on in!


Next, we hit the petting zoo, which was just goats. Jenna had the need to pet EVERY single goat. And she managed to do it.

This was the best shot I could get of Jenna and her cousin Derek. They are about 5 months apart and always have a fun time together.
My favorite part were the beautiful giraffes. I could have stared at them all day.

We had a picnic lunch and then headed home. Jenna fell asleep in about 2 minutes. What a perfect day!

Randomness

I love Jenna for many reasons but one reason is because she is so random. You just never know what she's going to say or do. Last week, Jenna entertained herself for about an hour by coloring the top of her sandbox with chalk. She laughed, sang and danced the whole time and was yelling random things like, "This is my fire truck!","This is my kite!" Her whole body was covered in chalk but she couldn't be happier.






She just cracks herself up.



The other day, I was washing dishes and Jenna was coloring in the next room. I kept hearing her say, "This funny?" over and over again to herself. Then, she walked into the kitchen and asked me, "Mommy, is this funny?" She held up her hand to show me her marker- tipped fingers. I told her she was funny and then she kept telling me how silly she is.


"This funny?"

It's hard work and quite tiring to be so random and funny.
