Grandma's 55th Birthday Surprise Party!!!

For my mom's 55th birthday, we threw a surprise party at her house with all of her friends and family. Here is a picture before she got there of Erin and Jaclyn with Mac, who at the time, was not even two weeks old.

Auntie Erin had a great idea for a present for my mom; a trampoline!!! My mom and her family are all gymnasts, so we were certain this gift would be a hit at the party!

Jaclyn had a BLAST testing out the trampoline with her Aunties, Erin and Janell!

Jaclyn had a lot of fun being pulled around in her wagon too!

Great Grandma and Julea
It was so great to see Erin's Godfather, Alan too!

What a great day! We hope everyone enjoyed themeselves, especially Grandma!

Finally, here's a pic of Grandma on her trampoline a couple of days after the party! I wonder how many senior citizens could pull that off! ;)

Cousins from Australia

Daddy's cousin's from Australia came to visit, and we got a couple of cute shots with Cousin Alice and Uncle Chris in Alice's tiger hat...enjoy!

Cute Pics from Bella's Birthday

In an attempt to try to catch our blog up to date before we leave for Monterey, I'll try to keep the comments brief. Here are some cute pics of Jaclyn from her friend Bella's 3rd birthday party last April. This one is my favorite!!!

Daddy's 29th Birthday at the Zoo!!!

This year for Daddy's birthday we went to the San Francisco Zoo with Luke, Casey, and Charlee to celebrate Luke's birthday too! Jaclyn and Charlee had a great time together!
Here's Jaclyn and Charlee playing in one of the tunnels by the prairie dogs.
Getting ready to ride, "Little Puffer!"
Jaclyn and Charlee were so cute together! Jaclyn wanted to be the "Big Girl" and show Charlee how to feed the goats at the petting zoo; it was absolutely adorable!!!
What a GREAT Day!!!

2 Year Old Professional Portraits

Almost three months after the fact, I'm finally putting up Jaclyn's two year old portraits! Although we did get some cute shots, it was very obvious that she had turned two during this sitting; she spent most of the time telling us she was not happy and didn't want to smile! Fortunately, however, we've hardly seen any signs of the terrible twos since that day! Enjoy!
