Put the Pedal to the Metal and DRIVE

zzooooommm.....eeeerrrrrtttttt......vvvvvvmmm.........wwwahhhhh...
wwwwweeeee.....OH. Hi...guess I better keep my eyes on the road. See ya..eeeeeeerrrrrrttttt...vvvrrrrmmm...

Gotta Ride!

We are off to see the farm on the John Deere. I have to be familiar with these rigs to stay in good with my G'pa. So far so good.

Hey Glory...

Let's check out the neighbors. Don't get us caught. Stay cool kid, stay cool.

Goin' a Marketing...

I have taken to driving our cart around. This way I can control where we go in the store and get my mom to buy me what I want. Funny how when we get home all we have is fruit, veggies and other things that are "good" for me.

A Day at the Beauty Salon

Here I am in my stylist's chair getting my hair done. I went from what I heard my Auntie Bubbles call a "mullet" to a very posh "bob". I had a very pleasant afternoon and will be booking my next appointment for six weeks from now.

The Finished Product

So..what do you think? I like the bounce it added to the back.

Um...Did Someone Say...

COOKIES?! I don't ask for much. Just a cookie now and then. I'll be your best friend. :) Anyone?

Check Out the Huge Waves

Don't worry peeps, I won't let my Daddy get swept out to sea. It may look peaceful from where you are sitting, but those waves were vicious. Plum near knocked me off my feet.

She Sells Seashells...

I went to a very fun place the other day. Mommy called it the "shoreline", while Daddy insists it's a "beach". Guess I will have to get back to San Diego one day soon to make the comparison for myself (I have a feeling my Mom is right) Whatever it is...I dig it.

An Action Packed Day

We spent a great day at Griffith Park with my family. I love my Jay-Jay and Jan-Jan! They are the bees knees. We took a few minutes out of our busy day to relax in the cool grass.

Me and My Jay-Jay

I was pooped after having so much fun. My Jay-Jay knew just the right thing to do for a bit of a pick me up. I like the view from up here.

When Sass Meets Brass

I got to ride on the very same Merry-Go-Round my mommy, aunties and Jan-Jan rode on when they were little. I am holding on super tight so the faster we can get this thing movin' the better.

Making Memories

We all crammed into one train car and took a very pleasent ride around the park. Mommy was suprised she had a hard time fitting in the seat. We all decided my little sister is taking up most of the room, but we will let it slide.

Hey....

Mommy and Daddy that is a "sweet" picture and all, but aren't you two forgetting someone? Pan to the left of the tree for the very important answer.

Choo-Choo!

I ran like the wind everytime the train went by. I don't think anyone has seen me move that fast for anything, not even cookies. I even got to take a ride on it. Jealous? Well, you should be.

Hi....

It's me.....Jorja Jaye on location here in La La land. That is Los Angeles to my Oregon and Texas peeps. I am here to celebrate my cousin Glory's very first birthday. Don't tell her, but I got her a cool stool so she can climb up to the sink by herself much like I do a thousand times a day. I think she will like it. :)

Happy 1st Birthday Glory!

We are both one now! It is fun being one. I think two will allow for us to take total charge of everything, but just enjoy being one and I will fill you in on how it is being two in a few months. I love you. ~Jorja

Do I Need a Pedicure?

Not sure. Won't be seeing my feet for a while.

CAUTION:

THIS IS A TOY. DO NOT PUT CHILD IN STROLLER. Um...duh......like we know that. Or do we...? Well, we had to test it out anyway. We had a good run of about 5 minutes then some repairs had to be made. To the stroller, not the CHILD. Warnings Schwarnings. It was totally worth it. :)

Food of the Gods

Just enjoying my evening treat on my temporary table. Whatever gets you through, right? I am 22 weeks and counting. "Little Miss Sis" is a BIG fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Guess she takes after me that way.

Trouble is A Brewin'

A tip of my hat to "Little Miss Sis." Can't wait to cause some major trouble with you. See you in June. Get ready to cowgirl up and xoxo, your big sis Jorja Jaye.

Time to Educate Me-Self

I hope this handbook gives me an upper hand around here, because so far the 'rents seem to have it. We will certainly see about that. Let's see....Oooo these articles look good... "Bedtime? No, I Don't Think So, Thanks Anyway" or "How to Ignore the Word No and Get Away Scott Free". Perfect place to start.

Cozy Cozy Robie

My favorite part of my bath time is getting to put on my cozy cozy robie right after. It even has my initials on it, so don't even think about taking a turn. JJG=M-I-N-E!

Cowgirl UP!

Even though I was born in Seattle, I am actually really a Texan at heart. (I was made there afterall)

Oh Dear..What is in Here!?

I have been told that second pregnancies tend to express themselves a lot sooner than first,but this is ridiculous! I am in week 18 now and thankfully feeling much better. I was beginning to wonder if I was in for nine months of sickness. We find out if we are having a boy or girl on February 5th. I am thinking boy, Matt is hoping boy, and Jorja says "sister" so we shall see.

I've Seen Better Days

I'm mad, sad, and just plain sick! The Christmas drive home from Oregon was one of the hardest I've done. I made it even harder on my mommy and daddy. Sorry folks, I am just not one to hide my feelings.

My Feet

Lake Arrowhead, Ca

My family took a fun winter trip to Lake Arrowhead. My mommy used to come here when she was a little girl. Next to mommy is my Jan-Jan, Jay-Jay, Auntie Birdie (et moi), Uncle Adam, Auntie Bubbles, Uncle Trevor and my pal (and cousin) Glory.

America's Next Top Model 2020

Work...turn to the left...work!...turn to the right and do your thing on the runway!

Cheesy Grin

This is my cheesy grin. It seems to happen whenever there is a camera near by. Cccchhhheeesseee!!

Heeeee!!!! Hhhhooooo!!!!

Hummuna...hummuna...What is this?....What are the rules...Are there any?...God I hope not.....Is this a new toy just for me? Ohhhhh........wowwwww....ummm.....Ok stay calm self, just stay calm. I'm sure this will all be explained to me in due time.

Merry Christmas Times!

Me and the big cheese, the boss-man, the head honcho, the BMOC, the top dog, the all knowing, the commander in chief, the S-to the A-to the N-T-A. Festive outfit courtesy of my terrific great aunt Jen-Jen! I can finally fit into it yay!

Daddy's Girl to the MAX!

I love this daddy of mine. Enough said!

Gymboree Days

Since I was a mere babe of six weeks, I have been going to play at Gymboree. I have moved up the ranks and am in Level FOUR now. I am getting pretty good at climbing, sliding and just playing. Just have a look for yourself. See you in Level FIVE!

Sliding

Bubbles

Welcome Winter!

So winter has arrived and brought with her some beautiful snow. We were all just glad we were home and not on the road fighting the Sunday traffic.

Seattle Snow!!!!

So after record rainfall, we get some snow too!!! Daddy and I built this little snowman in our front yard. Looks like he is going to stay around a while.

When Life Gives You Rain...

it also gives you some great puddles to jump in. Some major puddle jumpin' is in me and Zach's future and we are all ready to go. Stay back if you don't want to get soaked. SPLASH!

I am Thankful for....

cookie dough and chocolate chips. Mommy and I baked some cookies for Thanksgiving. I think I did a right fine job and deserve this stuff as payment for my time and efforts.

Time to Hit the Books

G'pa and I are really getting into these books. As you can see we have a lot to go through here.

I Keepa Me Pizza a Closea!!

And me milka..... Oh...... Lorda help you if you try to takea me milka. Ciao!

Baby You Can Drive My Car...

(bum bum bum bum bum)....Yes I'm gonna be a star (bum bum bum bum bum)....Baby you can drive my car...and baby WE love you!!!!!!

Guess What Y'all...

My mommy is going to look like this again real soon 'cept this time I'm taking none of the blame. I've already done my damage. My brother or sister will be here in June. I am OK with the idea as of now, but reserve the right to change me mind.

Here I Come

Look out! I am wearing my boots and on the run. Somehow cowboy boots feel totally natural to me. My mom says she will get me a RED pair to match hers when I can fit into them.

An Open Letter to My Daddy

Dear Daddy, I am sorry. My Aunties Kristi and Nessa just told me to hold this sign and look happy. I really didn't mean to. I will never let it happen again. I love USC. They are second only to my precious Longhorns. I love you. I am sorry USC lost. Luv, your Jorja Jaye. P.S. Hook 'em Horns!

Happy Halloween 2006!

How did I go from being a Tootsie Roll last year, to an angel this year!!? I wonder, what will those crazy parents of mine think of next. (Click on October 2005 in the archives to see just what I mean.)

Congratulations Adam and Jia!

We had such a great time at your ABFAB wedding. Welcome to the family Adam! We love you!

All Dressed Up...With Somewhere Great to Go!

Happy Wedding Day Jia and Adam! We had a blast (even though I had my fill by 8:00). Glory and I felt very pretty in our dresses. Love you!

Us with Our Goils

Here is Mommy with my Auntie Bubbles and cousin Glory. Are we not smashing in our wedding finery?
