My Pretty Little Girl
Jamie is growing up so fast. Where did my little baby girl go? She is getting so big and so beautiful. I just wish time would slow down a little. I was looking at her the other day thinking how amazing God is to have created such a perfect little face. Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her skin, all perfectly made and perfectly beautiful. Jamie talks all day now. She does almost everything her brother does. She is 18 months old now and wearing 2T clothes. She makes me so happy and I can't imagine life without her.
How big does she look here? Wow. She is truly the sweetest little Sugar Ball you have ever seen.

Oranges
Jamie loves oranges. She has all of 5 teeth all in the front but she eats oranges like they are nothing. P. planted two Tangelo trees today. For himself, but for Jamie girl who will share her love of oranges with her dad. Until our trees produce we get our oranges from Uncle Bob and Aunt Edna. The kids love to pick them off their trees and Jamie can't always wait until they are peeled to have a taste.

Pete likes them too. But not quite as much as Jamie.
I posted this pic because it is funny but also because his mouth looks a lot like Juluis' mouth on his shirt.

Date
It has been a long, long time since P. and I have been on a date. And it had been a month since I had eaten a meal without a kid around. So, last Saturday was THE BEST NIGHT EVER! No, not really, but it was pretty great. Since the in-laws are here they stayed home with the kids and we took off about 5pm for dinner at PF Changs. We had such a fun, relaxing, enjoyable, yummy dinner together. The food was so delicious and the evening weather was perfect. We sat outside and took our time having an appetizer, 2 entrees and 3 desserts. Yes, 3 desserts. It's a long story but let's just say they were all wonderful and we had no problems eating them all. After dinner we went shopping. Now, that doesn't seem very exciting to the normal person but when you NEVER go shopping without a child, or two, with you, shopping by yourself or with just your husband is quite enjoyable. We had a good time browsing and taking our time so we were not home before they went to bed. It was a great night and we really appreciated the time away my in-laws gave us. It made me realize how badly we need to find a babysitter!

Work
P. has used his dad's visit and assistance to do a couple things around the house. We bought a shed for the backyard and they, with the help of the kids of course, put it together last weekend. It's great and will provide lot's of storage for our outdoor things.
Pete drilling the floor of the shed and Jamie drilling her big belly. :) She does that because that's what I do with her when we play with Pete's tools. I drill her belly and she laughs and laughs.
Three generations of Selinski's.
We also bought play sand at Lowe's for the kids old ladybug "pool" which is now a sandbox. The sandbox is a blessing and a curse. The kids love it but every day I need to sweep both outside and inside.
We also got a few fruit trees. Here are the boys planting an apple tree that has 5 different kids of apples on it. Can't wait to try them in the next couple of years! They are planting two tangelo trees tomorrow. Yum.

It's in! Our first new tree in our new house.
And my sweet little boy ready for a nap after a long morning of helping dad and Opa.

In-Laws
So, my in-laws have been here from MI for a week now. They came last Friday and are staying until Sunday morning. I haven't posted on my blog much lately since we have been busy and have had company so I have quite a few updates to make for you all to see. The in-laws are at a casino today and the kids are sleeping so here goes.....
The visit with Omi and Opa has been wonderful. They fit right in. The kids love having them here and I love the company and extra help. I am hoping they plan on spending their winters here in AZ with us sooner than later.
We took them to IN-N-Out for the their first time the day they got here. They could see why it's one of my favorites.
Jamie loves ketchup. Or maybe she just likes to dip her food in sauces because it is fun, and messy. She holds her little ketchup cup right up to her chest and dips. She mostly just uses the fries as spoons to eat the ketchup but in the end ketchup and all her fries are gone.
Picture Pete took of himself in In-N-Out. Sometimes when I upload pictures from my camera I find cute surprises of pictures Pete took of things, himself and accidental videos he recorded. Funny.

We Bought A House
We are official homeowners of the house we have been living in since the beginning of Jan. We signed all the papers yesterday and closed on our beautiful home. We are so excited. Here are some pics of the event. Yay us. And thanks to the Lord for blessings us, taking care of us and providing for us. But more than anything, thank you God for our family and these two beautiful kids we have to raise in our new home.
