Baby Shower-January 2008

I did not really want a big overdone shower... and My Mom and Lynne couldn't have planned a more appropriate shower. It was small with all my friends and family. Moms house looked very elegant. The cake was the only detail that I asked for. Although it is a bit silly, I saw a cake like this at a shower once and I just wanted one for mine. My wonderful friend Leslie Littlepage had the cake made for me! The cake topper was also a beautiful teething ring for baby Jackson that was a special gift from Gramma Lynne and Granny Terri.

TRUNK OR TREAT!

We started a wonderful Halloween tradition with Jonathans Mom. Bartlesville has a trunk or treat at a local church. It's an amazing event that is very well put together and best of all.... is within walking distance of Lynne and Pauls home. Bella had a blast and it was fun watching Lynne get to share a trick or treat experience with her. Then we we got back, we all enjoyed Lynne's yummy potato soup.

FUN IN TROY-August 2007

Bella went through a sunglasses stage----it lasted a little over a year. These particular sunglasses she calls her stunner shades (I wonder who taught her that)

We got to meet baby Cohen. He is aboslutely adorable.

Bella was so excited to watch the skydivers. She got a little worried as they were coming towards us. She thought they were going to land on us.

JESSICA'S BRIDAL SHOWER 2007

Mom & Laura hosted a bridal shower for Jessica Parker Jackson at moms house. We had a lot of fun planning and decorating. Jess just wanted a low key shower, but I think that it was still an enjoyable time for all.

Easter 2007

It's Easter and we decided to have a Easter-Eve celebration at my house and decorate cookies. Bella and Dawson were very energetic and fun! The next day we celebrated at my moms and enjoyed a yummy meal and easter egg hunt.
