Ladybug Shower

The Crazy Girls hosted my first shower. The weather wasn't very cooperative, but it was a nice, laid-back, snowy day. I wnjoyed being able to spend time with some of my oldest and dearest friends. I also got some very nice things for Baby Jake. Check out the pictures to see all of our goodies. When we got home, Jason unloaded all of our presents like Santa had come.



Becky and Holly made Jake his first birthday cake out of diapers and other necessities.


Aunt Allyson gave Jake his first stroller. Doesn't Bonnie Kay look cute in it? She thought she'd try it out for Jake since her parents would never buy her a UGA stroller. :-)


2 1/2 generations. I love wearing black because it hides the huge belly!

Racing to Jake's Second Birthday!

Rev your Engines and Shift into Gear... Jake's Second Birthday is almost here! We celebrated Jake's birthday a few weeks early this year because of Jason's work schedule. His official birthday isn't until March 29, but extra partying never hurts anyone! We also combined his party with a special surprise for Nanna Nette's big 6-0 party. Jake had a blast celebrating with all of his favorite people. Jake found his gifts before the party even started. He was riding his new tricycle from Nana and Papa before all of the party guests arrived. Nanna Nette was surprised to find out that she had helped plan her own party! Cousin Alex helping Jake open his presents Jake loves his laptop. He feels like such a big boy! Claire is on the move! She loved all of the attention she got during Jake's party.

Babyland General

On a recent trip to visit the some of the grandmothers, we took the kids to Babyland General. While they aren't mature enough to adopt their own babies yet, they enjoyed all of the babies at the nursery. I expect that we will be going back to adopt when they get a little older. They had a blast! Claire really liked the ones with big hair. I think the school bus was Jake's favorite part. He wanted to get on and ride!

Jake and Nanny Shewbert

Image
Nanny Shewbert , my great-grandmother, is 98 or 99 years old. (She says she is 98, but the family Bible says 99.) She lived with us some when I was a child to take care of Allyson and me so that Mom could work. Because of this, she and I have always been very close. In fact, I like to joke with my cousins that I'm her favorite. So when Jake came along, I wanted him to be around Nanny Shewbert as often as possible. She lives in Helen, so we don't see her (or the rest of our mountain family) often enough. Jake is incredibly blessed to have 1 great-great- grandmother, 3 great-grandmothers, and a great-grandfather to all welcome him in to the world. For Labor Day weekend, Nanny Nette and I decided to take advantage of the long weekend and get up to see the family. The Nannies felt like getting out so the 5 of us piled in the car to go visit family that we never get to see, do a little tourist watching in Helen, and made quick stop at Dairy Queen. During our 3 h...
