Jake had so much fun on his birthday! john and i decided that we would do something small with just immediate family on a weekend, but Jake was going to get a big surprise :) after he blew out all of his candles he got to the monster jeep that john and I have been saving for forever! then that night we took him to chuck e cheese where he got to play games and enjoy a perfect day. i still cant believe that my little man is 3 years old it only seems like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital.

We love you Jake!!!

Easter Sunday

I know this should of been posted a while ago, but ive been really really busy believe it or not!

This easter john and i decided we kind of wanted to take it easy, so we read eachother our favorite bible verses and had some lunch jake of course didnt get up until the late afternoon and by that time he was ready to dig into this easter basket. we decided that an egg hunt was the best way to go and jake really got into this year and of course he was shaking all of the eggs asking if there was money or candy in them. so here are some of our family easter pics!

Baby landrys quilt!

So as most of you know my sister in law Amy is having another baby girl landry. well if you know anything about me im like an old lady and love to be crafty. This time i decided that i wanted to make her a baby quilt my aunt made me one when i was little and i still have it. I knew that Amy was going with the colors red and yellow, I cant show the finished product until Amy+Landry see it but i do have a sneak peak. also this was all done by hand, i hate sewing machines, i could never work one if i tried and trust me i try all of the time hopefully they like it :)

This was what it looked like after i first started

And this is all that i can show you i will show the final product once landry gets it lol!!

The Gift We Could Not Give Each Other

I was looking online at some stuff and i have been thinking about my sister and brother in law lately as you all know and i came across this and i just had to share it with you guys, its a tear jerker so get ready

The Gift We Could Not Give Each Other Words and Music by Michael Mclean

When she was a little girl she held her dolls like children.
Dreaming of the day when she'd have babies of her own.
Now those dolls lie on a shelf as lifeless as the dreams she dreamed.
It's become the deepest ache her heart has ever known.
There's a man who's trying his best to comfort her with roses.
Telling her he'll find a way to make their dreams come true.
He's been saying this for years,but now his tears reveal the truth.
In his heart he fears there's nothing else that they can do.
Then a gift is given,a phone call straight from heaven.
There's a child that's nearly due that a young girl's giving you.
She gave more than just one life
when she makes of this man and wife a father and a mother.
She gives the gift they could not give each other.
More than we could ever know this couple thanks the heavens.
Every time they hold their child,
they feel they hold the world.
Words will never be enough to share the way the family feels.
From deep inside their hearts they want to tell that girl:
Not a day is ever through till we've thanked the Lord for you.
Your sweetness lingers nearin our hearts and thoughts and prayers.
You gave more than just one life
when you made of this man and wife,
a Father and a Mother.
When you gave the gift we could not give each other.
You have changed our lives forever.
Only you and God above could give this gift of love
we could not give each other.

A Grandmas Love

Jake loves his Nana to death the other night he wanted to wait up for nana to get home so we camped out in his favorite place nanas bed if he has to take a nap its the only place he will take it. On the weekends when john and i work jake and nana have breakfast and watch the incredibles every saturday morning together and if we do have the weekend of he still demands nanas time! iI have no idea what he is going to do when we dont live with nana anymore, but it sure will be a new adventure for him, this is for you mom.

I love you nana, Love Jake
