playtime...and more!

So, JJ has discovered her belly button! She "checks" it several times a day to see if its still there - and if we ask her where it is, she will point to it....its pretty funny and sooo cute!!!

She has one of the extra rooms in our house as her playroom, so here are some fun shots of us just playing around!






AND, of course - BATH TIME! JJ loves bath time!
and I am sure she will someday LOVE that I shared these! ha!

Happy St Patty's day!

Hope everyone got to drink some GREEN beer on st patty's day!

Easter Egg Hunt

The George Bush library hosts an easter egg hunt every year, so we took Jerra - we weren't sure what to expect, but she did GREAT! she held onto her basket - which was almost as tall as she! - and with daddy's encouragement - went around and picked up the eggs and put them in her basket all BY HERSELF! we were sooo proud!

She was not happy with the Bombers Baseball guy!

Outside Fun

so, since we moved to our new neigborhood Jerra has discovered the love of playing outside - we have great neighbors and everyone plays outside every afternoon - J loves running around (yes, she is running now!) and playing with the big kids. her fave things are her car, riding her new friends hot wheels and playing basketball with her daddy! we are so lucky that we moved to this great street where all the neighbors know each other, watch out for each other and the kids all play together. these days these types of streets seem few and far between - it reminds me a lot of the street I grew up on in Minnesota - even the weekend poker games are the same!

I LOVE my car!!!

daddy is such a good teacher!

my car again - how FUN is this!

Mr Scott and neighbor kiddos!

yep - my car and me! I could do this all day!

here I go!

Softball game

The spring season of softball has started and Geoff is of course on a team. He really enjoys the games - especially when they win! Most of the games are after Jerra's bedtime, but one week he had a 6:15 game, so I took JJ to watch her daddy play! she was more interested in walking around and pointing out all the puppies that were there, but she got excited when seeing her daddy in the dugout...

Here I come daddy!!!

I love puffs!

Aunt and Uncle visit!

Kristin and Tim visited us from Detriot this past weekend. It was sooo good to spend time with them and as usual, the visit went by too fast. We made the trip down to San Antonio with them to stay with Geoff and Kristin's grandma. Family time is so special and I wish we got to see them more often.

Jerra's 1st birthday party

We had Jerra's birthday party at my parents house in Grapevine. We were so lucky to have good friends there to celebrate our baby turning 1 with us. Jeff flew in from Miami, Bill and Becky came in from Houston, her god-father Case was there and lots of our D/FW friends were there...My good friends and J's god-mother Jessica, and her husband Marc, tried to make the trip, but their son DJ got sick at the last minute, so they will be traveling to Texas this summer...

One thing we were not expecting was for Jerra to not like her Birthday Cake! she really wanted no part of it! Guess thats what we get for not giving her any sugar until then!




a good friend of ours made this adorable dress for her! i love love love it! Her bedroom is done in a pink flamingo theme, so we figured her birthday party should carry the theme as well! its just toooo cute!!!
