5 months old!

Jade is 5 months old today!

This little girl makes me so happy! I love her so much! She brings so much joy to our little family. I thank God every day for blessing me with this little girl.

I am just loving being a mom. Yes, of course there are times when it can be a bit challenging (getting up every 2 hours at night is a bit rough at times), but seriously, motherhood is the best thing in the world!

Jade is now 15 lbs and is wearing 6 month and 9 month outfits. We started putting her in her high chair and she loves it! I am guessing she likes the view from a different height. She is a great cooking buddy now.

She thinks packets of tissues and little boxes of Dots candy are the best toys ever. She rolls from her back to belly all the time-changing her diaper and outfit is very challenging because she rolls and wiggles so much. She does a funny "inchworm" move. While on her belly, she'll get on her toes, poke her bum way up in the air, and push her face into the floor. Then she flattens and does it again, causing her to "inchworm" her way forward. It is so funny to watch. :)

When Jade gets excited, she'll start kicking her legs and waving her arms. And right before she falls asleep, she'll start to "talk". We call it her sleepy talk. It is hilarious because when we hear it, we know she is about to zonk out.

We love this girl!

She loves it when daddy puts her in the blanket and swings her around.

The Mayan...

One year ago yesterday, the Mayan Adventure Restaurant closed!

It was really sad because Lance, Tyce, Mary, Mccall and I were all working there together as performers. Lance, Tyce and Mary had been working there for years! It was such a fun job and it provided so many opportunities. . . . the Mayan was the reason Lance was recruited to dive in the circus in China and the reason I ended up learning how to do trapeze, silks and lyra!

When the restaurant closed, we were able to get in to get our equipment, costumes, and to play on the cliffs one last time.

our last day at the Mayan

Teeterboard show for Adobe

On Tuesday, Lance had a chance to perform in a teeterboard show for Adobe's Halloween Party. He was a ninja!


Halloween

Tuesday night we went to a little Halloween party with some of our cousins. Lance's dad did a magic show for the little kids and they loved it! He also made lots of balloon animals, which were a hit. :)

For Halloween, Lance dressed up as a super hero (he's his own super hero), I wore his pirate costume from when he was in the circus, and Jade was an elephant. 
Jade was so fun to squeeze in that costume and I loved it that she had a tail!
