Family Photo Shoot

Last weekend was the big Jenkins family photo shoot. We went to Central Park. It was so hot and muggy I felt like I was being steamed like a vegetable! We were there for 2 hours! With 1 grandpa, 2 parents, 6 sons, 5 DILs, and 9 grandchildren, it takes a while. Here's a few of my favorites.

Good Morning Mama

This is how I started my day; she was so smiley! Must be the 10 hours she slept last night! What in the world?! She must be growing because she wasn't up long before she went back down and slept for another 4 hours and woke up smiley again! What a great girl!

Angels Game

Last week was $5 ticket night at Angels stadium. Our seats were the next to the highest row in the stadium. It was really far up there!

It was Kelsey's first time at an Angels game outside the belly. She slept all the way to the end of the game.

We took our friend Jon with us and they won so that was exciting! Everybody got a 40% off coupon for Angels merchandise that night. It was so fun! We got a receiving blanket for Kelsey and Jeremy got a rally monkey. Now we're real Angels fans.

In the parking lot before the game, Jeremy found the sunblock and accidentally sprayed it in his eyes. I was freaking out but Daddy calmly got a water bottle and flushed his eyes out. He's much better in crisis situations than me. Poor Jeremy was alright but his eyes were red for the whole game.

Baby Shower

So my friend Kathy threw me a baby shower! I wasn't sure about it, but we hd 25 people there and I felt so much love for Kelsey and I and our family. She got so many cute little clothes to wear! A lot of the guests told me how much fun they had shopping for little girl clothes. I have to agree, it is fun! A few people were recruited to bring their favorite salads and Kathy got yummy sandwiches and fruit and an oh-so-good chocolate cake from Costco. Costco makes the best cake! My friend Debbie made the cutest little white chocolate suckers. I planned it on the weekend that my 2 out-of-town SILs would be here so they could come too. I so loved having them here! Thanks for coming sister friends!

Highlights

Okay so three weeks later. What in the world, where does the time go. I have been busy with friends and family, holding my beautiful baby a lot as she thinks that's the way she should sleep, giving Jeremy as much love and attention as I can to make sure he feels how loved he is, and trying to get out of the house as much as possible so I don't go crazy with cabin fever! Here's a few of the things we've been up to.
