*~* BABY JACKS *~*

I have been horrible at updating this thing, but I am going to try and be better! I know pretty much everyone already knows, but Terry and I are expecting our first child. It is so exciting! It's crazy to me that there is a little baby actually living inside of me! I think I have actually felt the baby move a few times, but I can't wait until I can feel him/her more. I am currently 16 weeks and on Monday I go for another doctor's appointment. We will hopefully find out the sex when I am 20 weeks! The baby is currently the size of a turnip (5in and 5 oz) or the size of your opened hand. The baby can hear me now and the sounds around me. I am sure Sophie scares the baby all the time with all her barking!! The baby is starting to get body fat and his/her eyes are starting to move. He/she can actually perceive some light, although the eyelids are still sealed. The baby is also starting to suck and swallow. I can't believe the baby is already doing so much. God is so amazing and I truly believe that all babies are a gift from Him! I cannot wait until September 15, 2010!!!! Here's some pics!

The baby at 6 weeks!

(we had another one at 8 weeks, but the pictures aren't very good!)

8 weeks pregnant!

12 weeks pregnant!

16 weeks pregnant! I have a feeling this is going to be a BIG baby!!

Felecia and Robert's Wedding!

Felecia and Robert's wedding was last Saturday, February 27th. I helped come up with a lot of the flower decorations and some of the ceremony decorations. It was cool to see everything come together. The wedding went perfectly and was beautiful. Here are some pictures of all the details!

THE END!!

Robert and Felecia's Wedding Shower!

So, I am horrible at updating this thing, but I have been so busy that I just haven't had the time. Anyway, February 13th I helped throw a Wedding Shower for my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law before their wedding on the 27th. It was a lot of fun planning a shower. I had actually never really thrown one before, so I had 14 women help me with the food. I really think I would love being a wedding/party planner. I love being creative and organizing things. The shower turned out perfectly. Here are some pictures!

The centerpiece I made for the food table.

All the yummy food!

~HUNTER!!~

I know its been awhile since I have updated, but there hasn't been much going on until this weekend! At the end of January my sister, brother-in-law, niece and dad went to China to get Hunter, the little boy that my sister and brother-in-law adopted. They came home Saturday and my mom and I went to pick them up at the airport. He is soooo cute! He was kind of scared of us at first, but he is starting to get used to us now. He is absolutely TERRIFIED of dogs though! Anyways, I am so glad that my family is back home and that Hunter has finally joined our family! I know he is going to be so much fun and I love him already! Here are a few pics!

This is when he was still at the orphanage in China.

Right after we picked them up at the airport.

Hunter and I!!

I stole this picture from my sister...he's playing on her computer chair.

ChRiStMaS dAy!!!!!!!

Christmas was really GREAT this year. On Christmas morning Terry and I woke up and opened gifts from each other and Terry gave Sophie her gift. It was nice to just enjoy Christmas with our little family. After we got ready we went to my parents' house again and had a BIG lunch. My Mom's parents and one of her sister's came over and we opened more gifts. Everyone was in such good moods and joking and playing around with each other. We had a lot of really good laughs! After that we rested for a few hours and then went to Terry's Mom's house and ate dinner with her and Robert and Felecia. After dinner was finished we exchanged stockings and gifts and then played Catch Phrase. It was a lot of fun! We had a wonderful day and we can't wait until next year to do it again!!
