Merry Christmas

Just a little taste of Christmas...I love having Jett's photos taken...she always seems like she is having so much fun. This last set was done about 2 weeks ago when we went to see Santa...I love the fact that the moment comes and goes but the memory will last a lifetime! Merry Christmas!

Jett's 1st Birthday

I can hardly believe that one year has passes. Jett has gotten so big and she has made our lives happier than we could have ever imagined. There is nothing in this world that her smile could not cure! We celebrated with family and friends on Saturday and it was nothing short of a party fit to spoil a princess! I must mention too that I searched high and low and could not find a bakery to make me a cake in the shape of a one so thanks to Papa who called in a favor...we got one!! The children that were here got to enjoy a visit with JJ's music instructor from Music Together. I love to watch them sing and dance! My grandfather used to always say "Don't cry sing!" He truly believed that music made people happy!

JJ and Tori

There are somethings in this world that are too cute for words...this is one of them. About a week ago my cousin Tammy surprised us and came by with her daughter Victoria. Jett was so happy you could not believe it. She hugged Victoria 100 times as though she was a long lost friend. Tammy says that these photos look like something that might be taken in years from now when they are out partying together!!! You never know!!! The world has a strange way of working things out...Babies are a great one!

What life is really about...

One day you just wake up and realize that the most important things are right in front of you. I am so lucky to have a GREAT husband and a WONDERFUL daughter who both happen to be extremely happy people! That in turn makes me happy. Just when I think that I am at the end of my rope, I look at Jett and she smiles or giggles. It is then that I forget that life is not always what we planned but it certainly has a plan for us! I have decided to stop making plans and just go with it...that last time I did that I was given a family...I am okay with that!

Our big debut

We recently had Jett's Christening catered from a local pizzeria who took the liberty to take some photos after all the food was set up. Eric and i stopped in yesterday for some lunch and much to our surprise there it was a photo of our kitchen on the front of the take out menu! I laughed and said "oh, mt kitchen" and the pizza man said "ha, everyone says that! I replied "no, really...that is my kitchen" Not the best photo for those of you who are awaiting the kitchen photos but I thought it was a start! Obviously my kitchen is the smaller photo on the right!

Boys will be Boys!

I am not sure that I will even know what makes a man tick. However, I do know that for some strange reason hunting and killing an 8 point deer makes them proud of themselves and also makes them the envy of other men! Shoes, I like shoes. Shoes that are purchased at a mall or quaint little boutique! Men they like the hunt. Anyhow, Eric shot this deer in out back yard Monday, opening day. I feel badly about it but so many people hunt the property someone was bound to get him...why not Eric!

JJ and Santa

Our child has NO FEAR~! She also had no interest in Santa. She was looking around at the animated snowmen and all the people in the mall. When I asked Jett what Santa says and HE replied "Ho Ho Ho" She looked at him like 'How does he know that?' I thought you would all enjoy this photo...Happy Holidays!
