Lola turns 1

Lola Ruth has had a great year.  She finally made it to her first birthday - June 14th.  One year ago, my life changed for the best.  God gave me my little girl I had hoped for.  She is the most precious little thing I could have ever asked for.  She is a very happy baby.  She sleeps most of the nights, naps well and doesnt like to be cuddled.  She never crawled.  She still scoots around and stands on her own.  She took her first steps on June 26th at 9pm while only I was present...special moment for me! She has 6 teeth, weighs 21.3lbs and is 29.5 inches tall.  She eats like a horse...loves tomatoes, all fruit and b lines to the fridge when the door comes open.  Her hair continues to grow and lighten with a tinge of red....love it!  It also has a hint of curl...perfect!  She has a bit of a temper and knows what she wants.  She's thrown some good fits but also laughs at everything.  She's my little love bug and I can't imagine life without her. 
We threw her a little family birthday party at our house with plenty of pink.  I did a timeline of pictures from day 1 to month 12.  We had a great cake but she didnt want much to do wtih it until we got her finger in it...very lady like :)  She got some great girl gifts so she can stop playing with the boy toys.  Lola had a great party!  Enjoy the pics!

Lola's First Haircut

Today DeAnn and I took Lola up to my salon to get her first haircut.  She did pretty good.  She sat in the chair by herself and even let me put a cape on her.  She did great until I started messing with her bangs and that's when she decided she was done.  I just wanted to give her a little trim and her bangs were hanging in her face.  She looks much better now but not a huge change.  Good job Lola.  It was the first of many salon trips for mom and daughter :)

Jax's Preschool Graduation

Tonight we had Jax's mother's day out graduation.  He has gone to First Baptist Midlothian's mother's day out program since he was 2.  He just turned 5 this last weekend and now begins a new chapter in his little life.  I look forward to every bit of it. Honey, Grandma, Roger and Jana came to support Jax along with Jeremy and I.  It was a cute little program.  Jax was asked what he wanted to be when he grows up and he said "Spiderman".  He was also asked what his mom does while he's in school and he said "goes to the dentist"  LOL.  Funny kid.  Enjoy the pics.

Jax's 5th Birthday Party

Jax had a great birthday this year!  We had his party on May 25th at Honey and Papa's house.  We swam (Jax also discovered that he likes to go under water and hold his breath for a long time), did the bouncehouse, had a pinata, some bbq from dad and birthday cake.  Jax also got some great presents from all his friends and family that came.  It was a great afternoon despit a little rain.  The kids all slept till 8:45 the next morning...so you know we wore them out...Love it!  Enjoy a few pictures from the day

Boss Hogg's

My husband and I started up a new business adventure this year ~ Boss Hogg's bbq food trailer.  Its something Jeremy has wanted to do for a long time so here we go!  We found a trailer on craigslist that we liked and new we could improve as we go or add to it and bought it.  After a little advertising, shirts, buying more and more stuff we finally had our first event this weekend.  It was something small but a good profitable start non the less.  Mt Lebanon held a disc golf tournament and Jeremy and some guys served up some bbq.  I went out and took a few pictures for it so here ya go.  It can only go up from here!

Grandma's House

The boys love going to Grandma Jackson's house to play.  Today was a great day for it and I decided to take Lola to have some pictures made so off they went.  She has such a great backyard.  I love going over there myself!  After Lola and I got back from the arboretum with my mom, we picked up the boys from Grandma's.  I took some great pictures of the boys playing in her awesome trees.  Jax climbed all the way to the top by himself.  Jake almost did but needed a little push...it won't be long!  Great day with Grandma!
