I threw a surprise party for Garrett at Ruby River. It was a success, he was surprised! Thanks to everyone who came and/or helped!! I think my sister got pics of the actual surprise but I don't have them yet so here's some pics of the day!
We had quite a crowd there, thanks everyone!
Happy Birthday babe! I love you! Thanks for being such an amazing hubby and daddy!We had a great Christmas! We had a Halligan extended family party on Christmas Eve, we leave that early to go late to my fams Christmas Eve party. Then we went home and read a christmas story and open our pjs. Carson didn't wake up til 9 Christmas morning, Garrett was dying, he had been waking up every couple hours (he's such a little kid, I love it!), he was trying to convince me that we should go start opening presents before Carson woke up when we heard Carson awake! Garrett got him super fast and was ready to go ha. We had fun opening all our presents with Carson, I think he did too and got excited about some of his new toys, although he didnt really know what was going on of course. We had a lazy Christmas day at home, it was great! My parents came by to visit for a little bit but other than that we hung out watching movies, eating junk and played with our new stuff ha. Garrett got a float tube and ice fishing rod, fishing movie, fishing rod and reel cover, fishing rod holder, transformers (finally something not fishing related ;) ). He got me a pink fishing caboodle ;), which I had to decorate and now it is fabulous! Along with many other goodies, snuggie (ha i cant believe I have a snuggie), hot chocolate maker, shoes, Cary Grant movie, digital photo key chain, nail polisher... Carson got some toys, books, clothes... It was a great Christmas! The day after was spent sledding/snowboarding at Halligans farm with their 4wheeler and then onto a movie and dinner with my family.
All the Jacobson cousins
Christmas morning:
My sister found him this awesome Rocky shirt, I love it!
This is from my phone and its really blurry but I thought it was so cute, he looks like such a big boy here!
This is the wreath I made this year.
Carson with Gabby, she's the daughter of my old roommate from Logan, Becka. This is her version of a kiss and his... She's 22 months and only weighs 20 lbs! Carson is so dang heavy... I'm sure he's over 25 lbs now. We just had to upgrade him to size 5 diapers, I thought the size 4 would fit him for a while, doesn't seem long ago that they were roomie on him!
What a sweetie!
The kitchen cake I made for my almost sister in laws shower. The last shower I threw was a baby shower so I was trying to get back into bridal shower mode and was thinking of what I could do since I couldn't do a diaper cake and then did a kitchen cake, it was fun!
Paige and Caleb's Halligan family shower
Thanks to everyone who helped!!!
Ha yes, he has cleavage...
My 2 favorite boys!
static hair!
Love him!
Waiting in the theatre for New Moon with Paige and Caleb! Loved it!
So excited!.jpg)
He LOVES bath time!Yikes, my baby is getting closer and closer to a little boy, in another 6 months he won't be much baby anymore...:( We had his 6 month check up yesterday and he is the size of the average 10 or 11 month old! He's a big boy (in case anybody didn't realize that already)! He is weighing in at 22 1/2 lbs and almost 30"! Still in the 100 percentile range. So there ya have it, no time for a big post but thought I'd just throw this out there.
My friend Julie, from college, is trying to adopt. I am so happy for them that they are so close now to being able to adopt and can't wait to see them start their family soon. I believe in adoption strongly. I think a woman going through her pregnancy and pain only to give her baby to someone else to raise is one of the most selfless things a person can do. On the other hand, I believe a woman ending her pregnancy for her own selfish reasons is one of the most selfish things you can do. I also believe that being told you can't have children and moving on and deciding to adopt would be extremely hard but also shows how loving and selfless you are. Adoption has a very hearbreaking side to it and on the receiving end, a very happy beginning. This time, I am excited to be the audience for a happy beginning!
Lance and Julie are having an awesome giveaway to promote their adoption cause! (I didn't do this post for the giveaway by the way) Please take a minute to look at their adoption blog (http://lanceandjulieadopt.blogspot.com). Then, make sure to enter their giveaway at http://lanceandjulie.blogspot.com. The most successful way to adopt is word of mouth so please help them spread the word! Thanks!
Sadie, Lexi and Brody just love the lil babies, it's so cute!
Proof I was there.
Carson and Hunter. So far Hunter is the only baby (I guess lil boy almost) that Carson looks really little next to and he's almost a year older. Hunter is a big boy too!
All the cousins that were there.
Hunter is so fascinated with Carson sometimes, its adorable.
