Branson 2013

We got to go to Branson with some friends who have a little plane! It was so much fun- we didn't do a whole lot so it was just relaxing.. We ate, drank and shopped a little! Lol they have a daughter who is a week older than Jett! However Jett is larger... And kind of a bully. He liked hitting her... :( we are still working on this situation. BUT it was her first time flying and Jett's first time in a little plane... SO we experienced a lot in a short amount of time. It all worked out (thankfully) the babies were great. Since Jett's birthday is so soon... we decided that in honor of it we should take him and build his first build-a-bear! He didn't fully understand it obviously but he picked the heart, stood on the stuffer button. Helped pick out the bear and even picked out a football for it! Not to mention both Matthew and I were there so it's even more special! It's the little things that make life fun... :)

Getting ready to take off, way to much to look at to smile for the camera.

Wow.. Words don't describe how I feel right now. My baby is about to be a year old. There is no way this is true... I SERIOUSLY need this to all slow down. While I am LOVING all of Jett's new tricks.. I can't help but be a little sad he's becoming more independent and "grown up". Now on to the fun things!!

Snow 2012

I mentioned in the last post about the snow we got on Christmas so now it's time for the snow pictures! Jett actually liked it! It was a blast but we didn't play in it to much for fear Jett would get to cold!! But we made snow cream and Jett LOVED it!!

Getting to use his new Camo Outfit for the snow!

Just taking it all in..

Christmas 2012

To say this past Christmas was the best one I have ever had is an understatement. Watching Jett take in everything was so amazing. I just loved watching him. It was priceless. We had numerous celebrations. It started with a celebration the Sunday night before Christmas Eve with Skylar and Sarai Beth at Diana and Phil's! We ate a lot and played a fun game and opened presents. Jett got a little over whelmed and fussy but in the end loved his presents. We then went to my mom on Christmas Eve day. We all go together and ate and opened presents (which no entails putting things together). We hung out for a while then went our separate ways to our churches. We went to Jessie and treys and let Jett open his present from them and loaded up and went to Fellowship Bible. We love it there!! :):) not only was it Jett's first candle light service it was also Matthews! Something I alway did growing up and now I get to share with the two main men in my life! :) Jett of course passed out and slept through pretty much everything but it's the experience that counts... Right?? So after church we stopped and ate dinner with my dads family. We did matching Christmas pj pictures like we use to always do. Only this time instead of me and my cousins it was Jett and his cousin Olivia. (Melted my heart) my sister has those pictures so I am working on getting them. We then loaded up and went to spend the night out at Olas! Matthews grandmother! His whole family gets together out there! It was a blast. Jett opened some of his presents from me and Matthew and played the. We all went to bed. Woke up to Santa presents and stockings. His entire family came out and we did the big breakfast and presents. Christmas afternoon we went over to do my dads family Christmas (his two sisters and all my cousins come in on Christmas Day) well... It started sleeting... Then snow. Lots and lots of snow. It was crazy. It took my aunt and uncle from Fayetteville over 4 hours to get here and in the mean time my dads house lost power. :O we hung out and the power came on for maybe 30 minutes and back off... So no Christmas dinner and not to mention it was cold and dark at this point. We decided to take Jett home and we would do Christmas the day after with my dads family.... We get home and get in bed all comfy and warm only for our power to go out. WHAT?? The next morning we got up... No electricity. AND we couldn't get our car up the driveway from all of the SNOW! My dad came and picked us up in the jeep and we hung out ALL day at his house with the entire family and celebrated Christmas and ate an amazing meal by my nana. The power came back on later that day so all was well and we have a beautiful snow. Jett's first Christmas was also the first white Christmas Arkansas has seen in a long time! It made it that much more special! While Jett wasn't just super into opening presents this year he was into actually playing and looking at all of the "balls" on the tree! Haha I absolutely can not wait for next Christmas and all that will happen!!
