Hello everyone! Jacy had her 6 month check up this week. It is so hard to believe that 6 months have gone by already!!! She is finaly on the charts at 13 lbs 10 oz . and 23 1/2 inches long !!! Yesterday was her first taste of real food-Sweet Potatos! I think she likes them. =) We have had another fun trip over the past couple of weeks. We went to St. Johns to attend the Court Of Honor for my youngest brother Jaylen, who earned his Eagle Scout award. As soon as we arrived in St. Johns we headed straight to the County Fair and got to see all kinds of animals, and the art and clothing entries that Aunt Janell and Grandma Linda had sumbitted in the fair. It was so much fun! Next on the agenda was Aunt Janell's soccer game-which she WON! Janell mostly plays the goalie position, and does a geat job! That evening was Jaylen's Court Of Honor. What a great excuse to be able to hang out with the whole Richardson clan!!! And, we are so proud of Jaylen for his hard work! On one...

Jacy is doing a great job with her physical therapy sessions. She enjoys "tummy time" a lot more now and is getting really good at sitting up in her special little seat.

When I was 18 I was a Nanny for Steve and Lisa Singer. I watched their little boy Ryan from age 8weeks to about 18 months. I recently caught up with the Singer family got to watch Ryan play in a baseball tournament on Saturday September 24th. It is hard to believe that Ryan is 11 years old now, and it has been about 7 years since I saw the Singer family last. They also have a younger son Cory, who Jacy LOVED hanging out with during Ryans baseball game. It was so much fun to get to see them all again!

On Sunday September 18th Jacy and I headed for Show Low to see Grandma Debby. We spend the morning at the Hook-N-Spur on the Ellsworth Ranch (the ranch where Jay and I were married) and got to visit with Pete and Betty Jo Ellsworth for a little while and hang out by the creek catching Tadpoles with my brother Justin and his family.

Hello!!! We wanted to take a minute to share with you all the exciting news that has been going on these past couple of weeks! This Simmer family has been very busy! As many of you know Jay has been in school and training to be a helicopter pilot over the past 2 years. After may obstacles Jay has reached a huge milestone.. He flew SOLO in the helicopter on Friday September 2ND!!! (The picture from his solo flight is posted below) His goal is to finish up his private license by October 31. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM!!! I am in my 3rd week of Fall Semester at Arizona State University. I was lucky enough to find enough needed classes that were available on-line so that I can do my homework during Jacy’s naps! =) I continue to work part-time from home as well as part-time in the office. We have come up with quite a system- Jacy and I meet Daddy in the parking lot at work when he gets off and we do the “parking lot baby swap”. I go into work while they get some Daddy-Daughter time for a...

Over Labor Day weekend we went to Spokane, WA and spent a couple of days with Jay's family. Good weather and great company... it was hard to come back home! Jacy already loves to fly!!! This was her 4th and 5th time on a plane, and she isn't even 6 months old yet! Jacy was keeping a close eye out the window to make sure they loaded her stroller and carseat onto the plane! =)

Jacy loved hanging out with Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Sally during our visit in Spokane.

We got to meet Tim (Jennine's fiance) for the first time. We really liked him! Especially Jacy! She fell asleep in his arms while Jay and I were out on a walk.

Here is Jacy riding on one of Santa's reindeer at a Christmas display in the store where her Grandma Sally works.
