Jason's blessing outfit!

8.22.06

Tomorrow marks three years from the day I married my best friend. It's been better then I ever would have imagined and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. I love you Jas and thanks for being more than I ever could have asked for!

Family: Part 2

Right after Jason's family left my Mom and sister came in and again cooked meals, did dishes and laundary, and Mom jumped at the chance to take a few "night shifts". I have to say thanks for just sitting around and lounging. I was sick most the time they were out so we did a lot of watching chick flicks and ate a lot of sugar cookies...and the dough. :) Doesn't sound too bad huh? We did manage some good BBQ, the Mississippi and of course cheescake!:

Thanks again for spoiling us and the little guy!

Family: Part 1

With our new addition we've been really blessed to have a lot of family come out and help. Jason's parents and his brother and his wife were able to be here right after Javen was born. Besides feeding, changing diapers, and tummy time, here's a little bit of what we've been up to:

Scott and Sue at the mississippi river walk

Kelsie about to devour an amazing cheescake. We are convinced this is one of the best parts about Memphis. The cheescake factory doesn't stand a chance against this place!

(sorry Kels, I liked your face the best)

And of course, as Jason would say..we tortured Javen with A LOT of picutres..but we got some really really cute ones :)

Thank you guys so much for all the meals, dishes and laundary done, and "night shifts" taken so we could sleep and everything else you did!
