Jacelyn turns 4!!!

Jacelyn turned 4! I can't believe my baby is already 4 years old! We had a carnival party for her in our backyard. We had hot dogs, chips, snow cones, lemonade, popcorn, bean bag toss, face painting a tattoo booth, a photo booth, tent cake, and a clown! We even had the kids "pay" for their stuff and games with real tickets!

Here's my big girl in one of her new dresses!

Some of the adults taking a break from the 95 degree temps outside!

Mothers Day and Baseball Season!!!

For Mother's Day this year, I decided that I wanted everyone to go to the Arkansas Travelers baseball game. We had SO much fun and I can't wait to go again. Even though it's usually in the 90's in May around here, it was unseasonably cold. We ended up having to search in our vehicles for blankets and sweaters. The ones who couldn't find anything to keep them warm (me!) ended up buying a Travelers hoodie! All of the players wore pink jersey's to be auctioned off and the proceeds went to breast cancer awareness.

Here's Carlie running the bases at the end of the game.

Jacelyn running the bases.

The game! Seats were pretty empty but what do you expect on Mother's Day.

Jacelyn, Aunt B, and Carlie at the game!

This wasn't on Mother's Day but it's a picture of my adorable 5yo nephew, Trae, at one of his T-ball games! Isn't he the cutest ever?

Carlie turns 7!

Carlie got to have a swim party in JANUARY for her birthday! We rented out a local indoor pool. Everyone had a great time and it felt like summer for a day, even though it was 17 degrees outside!

The cake!

These were taken on her actual birthday. We always have a little party on the kids actual birthdays if their party is held on another day with just the 4 of us and that's when we give them their presents from us.

This is the note she wrote me with some of her new stationary! So sweet!

Finally! Christmas 2009

I have finally updated my blog!!! Woo Hoo!!! I have So many things to blog about. I still had up a Halloween background! I'm just going to put them all in different blogs so it'll be easier to get to! First I'll tell you about our Christmas. It was great. Probably the least stressful Christmas' we've had in several years. We also had a record snow fall! Here are some pictures of Christmas and the snow!

Please Vote for Carlie

I'm copying this from BBC because I've already written it a few times and it keeps getting eaten! lol!

Let me start by saying that I've never entered my kids into any kind of contest like this and I've never tried to solicit votes, this is just really important to me!

My daughter Carlie was recently diagnosed with ADHD. She has been having some problems with self esteem and thinking that no one likes her. This awesome local photographer is doing a photo contest so I decided to enter Carlie into it in hopes that if she won, it would maybe boost her self esteem a little to know that she won her family a photo shoot. She has no idea that I entered her in case she doesn't win. This photographer is amazing. She did my sister family pictures. I'm not sure exactly what the prize is but I think it's a $500 photo package of some sort. All you have to do is become a fan of Meagan Jackson Photography on Facebook, then go to "Sweet Little Faces Entries", and then under her picture, write "vote" in a comment. She is the 3rd picture. She has blonde hair and is wearing a red dress with her chin in her hands. Her name is in the caption. It seriously only takes 30 seconds to become a fan and vote. You can only vote once per person. She is in 3rd place right now. The first place cutie has about 35 more votes than she does. Voting doesn't end until Dec. 6th. Thank you so much and I appreciate and votes that she can get!!!
