Jacob's 1st Birthday Party- The Very Hungry Caterpillar

     Last weekend we had Jacob's 1st Birthday Party and celebrated with a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme. There are a million great ideas out there and since I love reading this book to Jacob (and he seems to love hearing it), I thought it would be the perfect theme for his 1st birthday! We are so grateful that so many friends and family were able to come celebrate with us! For those that were not able to be there, here are some pictures! there are a LOT more pictures on Facebook- if you were there, go look for pictures of you and/or your children! I tried to tag everyone if it was a really good shot of you or your child! :)

Two Year Update in Two Minutes...

      Ok, I know it has been FOREVER since I posted! I really am going to try to start updating this blog regularly!! I have not posted since I was 6 months pregnant for Mason! Since then, a LOT has happened!
     My sweet baby, Mason, was born on March 19, 2010 with renal failure. We spent 2 months in the NICU and then had 3 wonderful, if stressful, weeks at home with Mason before he became sick and had to go back to the hospital. Sadly, Mason passed away at 3 months and we survived what I never thought we could. Mason taught us just how much love our hearts could hold and how much heart break one can live through.

      In April 2011, Kyle finished his career with the Army and we moved back to Florida. We have loved being back home and around our family and friends!
     Then our second bundle of joy, Jacob, was born May 17, 2011. Jacob is an amazing, healthy, bundle of energy!! Weighing 9 pounds 2 ounces when he was born, he hasn't stopped growing in leaps and bounds! We just celebrated Jacob's 1st birthday and he is already 32 inches long and 24 pounds!
      Kyle is in school working on his RN and this is my first year as principal at a small charter school. We were fortunate enough to buy our first home in February of this year and we feel very grateful that things are going so well and that we have our little family.
