3. Kailee's visit with her cousins 4. Mommy's Birthday!

On Sunday after church, we drove to visit Jared's sister, Jamie, and her family. Kailee and Eden are the same age! We had dinner with them and Jamie made me a delicious carrot cake for my birthday! What a great sister-in-law I have! On Monday, we went to the pool while Ocean had her swim lessons, ate lunch, hung out, and then drove back home.
Kailee adored Ocean!

Awe!
Here are the sisters, Ocean and Eden! Aren't they cute! They are such happy girls and so much fun. We forgot to take pics. of their parents Jamie and Adam, sorry guys!
Jared with Ocean.
Here Kailee is still sleepy when I awoke her from her morning nap so that her afternoon nap wasn't too late. Normally she takes just 1 nap, but she was still adjusting from our long weekend away.
Jared asked me what kind of cake I wanted and I said an ice cream cake and then I said "no, I want you to make me a cake, I don't think you know how." (He's never baked since I've known him) His Mom always made my cake when we were in Utah, so now was my chance to put him to the test, lol. Not only did he make a cake, he made a DOUBLE layer cake and each layer had 2 layers. Isn't it amazing! I was so impressed! My birthday started out with Jared making me breakfast in bed (sausage, grits, eggs, cocoa pebbles, and strawberry milk! Then we went for a family swim, but only for 15 minutes because it suddenly got very cloudy and windy and there was a huge storm coming. Then my brother, Jacob, took us all out to my favorite restaurant, the Olive Garden, and treated us to a delicious lunch! Then we came home and had cake and ice cream! Jared and Jacob left for work and Kailee and I napped. Then my visiting teachers took me out for a snow cone that night. It was the greatest birthday ever! Jared got our marriage certificate custom framed for me, but it won't be ready for 2 weeks. It's going to be my anniversary present too... which is in 2 weeks! He also got me a sweet pair of shoes and paid for me to get my hair highlighted! Don't I have the best husband in the world?

Great Cake Jared!! What a very sweet thing to do. :-) Kailee, Ocean & Eden are little doll babies! How nice that she could visit her cousins and that you could visit with Jamie, Adam and Colby too! The photos are wonderful. I love seeing you both with Kailee. Kailee has a handsome daddy. Shannon, your tummy is so cute, you look beautiful as always. Maybe if I rub your tummy, Allie will decide to come early. Hang in there sweetie. I can't wait to see you!! Love, MOM (Nana)
