As I'm sure most of you know, Jacee is now 1 year old. I am so very proud of our little girl. She has been a very busy girl these last couple of weeks. She went from barely crawling to walking all over the place in what seems like just a matter of days. This first picture is of our Mother's Day trip. Shawn and Jacee took me on a trip around northwest Oklahoma. There was a museum, a river, a lake, and salt flats. This particular pic was Jacee being Jacee. Anytime the camera comes out, she becomes a little ham. She must get that from her Daddy. LOL.
When I was little, Mom and Dad used to give us the roll from paper towels, gift wrap, anything that would make a good noise maker. These were called "Doopty-Doos". (That being the noise we would make with them.) This is Jacee's first Doopty-Doo. She, of course, thought of it as more of a sword than a noise maker, but still had a blast with it.
Here is a picture if the cake that Aunt Landra made for Jacee to play in at her party. I always thought the pictures of cake stained faces and smiles because the baby was not in trouble for "playing with their food" were priceless. I wanted that for my little girl. That is not what I got. Jacee was NOT THRILLED about Mommy putting her hands in the cake. She was even less thrilled when instead of cleaning it off her hands, I allowed everyone to take pictures. I will try to post those pics later. My camera ran out of batteries (shouldn't that be high on the supply list for a birthday party?) during the gifts. I am waiting on a disc of the rest of the party from my sister and Mother. (hint, hint) LOL.
Here is Mommy and Jacee opening Jacee's gifts. At this point, Jacee was so tired, she refused to sit in her chair or any ones lap to open gifts. Nope, my little girl was only happy with the ribbon on one of the gifts. She had a wonderful time though and we are so very thankful for all of you who braved the rain to join us on such an awesome occasion. Not my top choice of weather, but hey at least the park wasn't busy. LOL.
I hope you have all enjoyed this little look into our busy week. I now have to go prepare for a cookout that the guys Shawn works with wanted to have in Celebration of Jacee's big day. After this one, I am done for a while. At least until Memorial Day!

Hi everyone. I know its been a long long long time since I updated you on Miss Jacee. As I'm sure you can imagine we have been mega busy. Jacee is less than one week from 1 year old. I sit here now and wonder where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday when we found out she was coming, and at the same time, I can't remember life without her. She is the most wonderfully amazing gift God has ever given me. I cherish every moment we have had and every one to come.
Jacee has decided she loves the outdoors. She will bring me my shoes, try to put them on my feet, and go to the door and cry until I take her outside. She doesn't care if its night or day. When she gets it in her head that we need to go outside, she is determined to do just that. I wonder where she gets that from? (LOL) Anyway, we took a trip to Canton lake earlier this week and these pictures are from that trip. Jacee had a ball.
Shawn's dream come true was when she grabbed his fishing pole and tried to take off with it. That's Daddy's little girl for you. (or should I say Daddy's little fisherman) Any of you who know Shawn, know that fishing is his favorite pastime. To have a daughter to join him in this love is even better. Tell me that didn't wrap Daddy a little tighter on that little finger of hers.
Jacee is just beginning to walk now. She took her first steps to her Daddy when he surprised with a trip home last weekend. She was so excited to see him that she took 3 steps towards him. The only drawback to that story is that everyone was a little loud with their congrats and Jacee is now a little scared to try it again. Her face went from huge smiles at her accomplishment to huge tears from the applause and such.
