Cochran's Spring Program and our little Piglet





We feel so blessed to be able to send Jalin to such a wonderful school and somewhere that she LOVES to go! everyday she wants to go to school and when we had a two week break after the program she really missed it. Here are some pictures of our adorable little Piglet!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!


Baby Christopher decided that he really liked being in Mommys tummy, so I had to be induced two days after my due date on April 20th. The whole day was absolutely wonderful and I feel so very blessed to be surrounded by such special people. I woke up at 5:00 in the morning to make sure that I looked my very best to meet my little man. :) Our little princess also had a very big day at school, so I wanted to make sure that I was able to get her ready in her adorable outfit that her Nana got her. We got to the hospital at 6:30, filled out our paperwork, and headed upstairs to get the process started. Our nurse was absolutely wonderful! She started my IV and got the pitocin started. Shortly after Dr. Anderson came in and broke my water and from then on it was the waiting game. Nana Bobbi came to get Jalin from the hospital to take her to school for all of her fun Easter activities. I was on the edge about getting an epidural or not, but after a couple of hours with the pitocin I decided that it was time. Many of my friends and family were in the room through out the day to cheer me on and keep me company. At 5:40 we finally had our special little boy! He weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 19 1/4 inches long. My wonderful husband, Mommy, Robin, Sus, and Taylor were all in the room with me and Many other family members and friends were in the waiting room. Aunt Katheryn said that they played a lullaby every time a baby was born, so she kept waiting to hear the lullaby played for Christopher. Taylor got some beautiful pictures of the day and here is a sneak peek of the ones that she took. (She is very talented by the way and I highly recommend you to hire her for your next photo session www.taylorstittphotograpy.com)

Baby Shower #2!


My dear friends Lindsay and Taylor hosted our second baby shower. Taylor and I have been friends for forever! When we were in high school we would always find stray dogs, or people giving away dogs and bring them home. Because of our love for dogs, Taylor knew that a "dog" themed shower was perfect...and it was. Every detail was ADORABLE! Here are some of the pictures. Thank you both so much! We had a blast!

Happy Birthday to our Sissy Girl!!

Jalin is in LOVE with Mickey Mouse right now, so we decided to make that the theme for her 3rd Birthday! We can not believe how big she is getting and she really is turning into a sweet beautiful young lady.


This was taken at the end of the party and we have a very sleepy little girl!


Jalin and her best friend Layken!

So thankful for my mom, who helped me finish these about 30 min before the party started.

Christmas Time


My Mom's house is finally almost done, but that was not the case at Christmastime. We hosted Christmas at our house this year and I told my mom that she gets the torch back next year. It was a lot of work, and my mom still did most of it even though it was at our house. My Mom has the most creative knack and has the amazing ability to do things once and they look PERFECT!
Cheese! Our last christmas as a family of 3!



When we got married we collected a ton of jars for our "candy bar", so now any party we throw the "candy bar" is a staple.



This was my contribution to the table, although my mom added the cute little gingerbread man to make it extra cute!
