Memorial-

I might add that I am almost 26 weeks in this pic. Pais is startin to get a little chair when I hold her.

The friday before memorial day I met my Grandma Knott, A. Margo, & A. Teresa down at the graves. I say graves because my mom, Grandpa Knott, and Uncle Steven are all buried there. We went down to clean up the graves even though I didn't do a thing cause I was to busy chasin Paisley around but they sure did make them look so nice. My grandma would even go around and clean other peoples grave.. She is hilarious! It was so fun to be up so close to here now and to be able to take part in this. I have never been able to visit them on Memorial day or ever put flowers on their grave so it was so nice to be able to now. I did good with holding it in until I got in the car then Jake called me and then I lost it. I loved the sweet pic of Pais with my moms grave and how she is slightly puttin her head on it. So precious! Wish I could have visited all my loved ones that day that have gone on before me. For Memorial weekend we went down to Jakes family cabin. It was so much fun as always  and to get to spend time with family and cousins is always a bonus!! Sadly I didn't take any pictures:(

My cutest little sis graduated last week and I cannot believe it! She is the last child and I cant believe its time for her to move on to big and better things. I cant wait to see what she does with her life and where life will take her. She let me take these pics of her. Isn't she so beautiful?! She is the sweetest thing you will ever meet! Love you sister!

 

So I also just have to jot down a few funny things about our 18 months old Miss Pais. She has been so so funny these days. Its crazy that she is 18 months old cause I have anticipated this age since she was born. Not that its a bad thing but thats how old I was when my mom passed away so I have always wanted to see how I was at that age and since my dad says that pais acts JUST LIKE ME when i was that age I can kinda get a glimpse of what I was like. Its sad to me that I dont remember her at all. To look at Pais and ask myself would she be able to remember me at all if I were to go? She relies on me so much for everything and I'm sure I did with my mother and it breaks my heart then I cant remember her when she did so much for me. Granted I was still very young but hopefully you get my drift. I am so thankful for the MANY home videos my dad took.. I could watch them for hours.

-Pais favorite movie right now is Little Rascals and she is so funny to watch it with. At the very beginning it shows 2 boys fishing and their hooks catch onto each other and they start tippin back and forth and so pais has to lean back and forth also and makes the whooaaaaa sound that they make. Also, when the boys meet at their clubhouse Spanky shakes everyones hands so Pais has to go around shakin everyones hands. Then when Darla and Alfalfa are on their little date in the boat and he sings to her, Darla does this cute little laugh and Pais does the laugh and then Alfalfas hair pops up and then Pais makes this other little laugh. She also makes little noises and does little actions all throughout the movie and it so so funny!

- Yesterday we were face timing with Jared and Shannon cause they found out what they were having:) So we were facetimin with them and Pais could see in the background their light switches and she is fascinated with light switches lately cause she loves to turn them on and off so she saw theirs and was tryin to turn them on on the screen. We got a pretty good laugh at it.

-I cant believe Pais isn't sayin full sentences now from all the blabbering she does. She doesn't say a whole lot but for some reason I can understand her and its so nice at this stage to be able to know what they want. 

-She makes the cutest little kiss noise and will kiss us on the lips all the time. My favorite it when Jake is holdin her she will grab his head and kiss his head, cheek, or neck. I'm not sure how long I should let her kiss his neck though hahaha. Its so dang cute though!

-Its so crazy to me that in just 3 short months our lives will be changing again. Sometimes at night when I rock Pais to sleep I think about how I probably wont be able to do that harldy anymore. And I have no idea how life is with 2 kids so who knows I still might be able to but just the realization that I wont be able to be able to just run to her every need and that she will need to learn patience fast when our little guy comes. I already know that she is not patient so I'm a little worried but we will all learn with time right. I cant wait to see how she will react to him. I am sure I will have a lot of days where I will cry tryin to get use to our new life with 2 kiddos but I sure am excited! I love to think about what he might be life and of course look like.

-I have been feelin really good and really have nothing to complain about except for I eat way to much sugar! Good thing its getting warmer and hotter cause all I want to do is eat fruit. I have gained 11 lbs so far and but I feel and look like I have gained 80!! I just remind myself that its all for a good cause.

-Jake and I have been so busy lately helpin with things for my sisters wedding comin up in just 5 short weeks. Jake designed the wedding announcement and man they are so cute!! He did such a good job! I would post them but I am goin to wait until their out in the public. I have been busy workin on her wedding book where people will write in for the reception and I just finished it last night and I cant wait to see it in person. We also will be makin her wedding video so we need to get started on that cause July is goin to be here soon! Cant believe June starts tomorrow!
