Jolley Girls & Boy: December 2011

October fun

Sammi LOVES to take pictures. Here is a picture she took of Braden on his 1 month birthday. At his 1 month check up he had already gained 3 lbs!- 11 lbs 2 oz and 22 inches.

Here he is at about 1 1/2 months-

Pumpkin Patch field trips:
Sammi's field trip was first. Here are 3 of the 7 in her class-

Alexis' field trip came next. There was a giant corn pit to play in-

In October, we tried something that we had never done before...bowling! We went with our friends Gavin and Gunner. It was so fun. Good things for the bumpers, though!

Carving pumpkins with Michelle and Uncle Jeff. Jeff grew these pumpkins!

An attempt at a family picture with the pumpkins-

Happy (early) Birthday, Alexis!

Alexis had her 5th birthday party at the end of October. A princess tea party.

And finally, Halloween!!

We went trick-or-treating with Siah and Kaitlynn again. Some new friends from Siah's school came as well.

The Jolleys- A pirate princess, pea pod and Princess Jasmine

At the end of September, we were on a walk to the "candy" store, when Alexis stepped on an underground bee hive. The bees swarmed and she was stung about 20 times. Sammi was stung about 6 times (once on the lip, making it look like she was in a fight). Thankfully, the bees left Braden alone, who was asleep in the stroller. Everyone was OK...no health problems but just very scared of bees.

A few days after the attack, Alexis had a field trip to an old pioneer farm. There a were tons of bees there. After many, many tears from Alexis and Sammi and a lot of convincing, we were able to enjoy the field trip.

More from September

Just a few days after Braden was born, school started.
Since Sammi has a summer birthday, she is in the young 3 year old class. There are only 7 kids in her class. She is loving it.
