Babies and Birthdays



Jackson is excited about meeting his new baby cousin, Judah. He was born April the 18th. Joselyn is such a good big sister, she does an excellent job of holding her baby brother. Jackson celebrated Kailey's 2nd Birthday. He thought she had some cool toys and he loved her birthday cake.

Jackson's First Pets





Meet Bevis and Budhead, our Nubian Dwarf goats. Don't ask why we have baby goats, I'm not sure why, but they're here and we'll see how long we can keep them. Besides throwing rocks at them and dumping out their water, Jackson seems to really like them. Jackson made his first home made pizza with Joselyn. His favorite utensil was the rolling pin, which he used to beat the dough and spread the sauce. Chick to see photos of Jackson.

Jenn Bailey

Jenn Bailey

We lost a near and dear friend. Putting a smile on your face, is just one of many things Jenn Bailey did for our family. She personified generousity and kindness that touched our hearts. She loved chocolate chip pancakes and the Dave Matthew's Band. She had more friends than I could count and was always making new ones, she never had trouble finding a date. She had the best laugh and smile, she was always telling crazy jokes or quoting movie lines, that I really never got. She was super creative, she had the prettiest hand writing and loved to doodle during class, as you can see I've included some in my slide show. She was adventerous and loved road trips. She and I went sky diving, and I think we both knew we'd never try it again, although it was a lot of fun. We drove down to Flordia and we were told not to go under the Main Street Bridge, and somehow we did and everything turned out ok, except my car came home looking like as my dad put it, I'd parked under a construction site that was painting a building, and that had nothing to do with the Main Street Bridge. She got Melissa and I a job at Haband, which was just the silliest job I've ever had. She was there for my wedding, she wished me luck when I moved to New England and she celebrated my wonderful news of becoming pregnant. Jenn suffered from Crohn's Disease and had a liver transplant 5 years ago. She recently became sick and passed away from kidney failure. She was truely the funniet, cutest, most creative, bubbly personaility, sweetest person ever and we will all miss greatly.
