Amy's Graduation & Party

Jason, Amy & Alexis

Sisters...Lesa, Amy & Stacie
Amy graduated from Nursing School this past weekend. A friend, Kim who is like a mom to Amy threw her a party which was on an acre with views of three mountains (off of Bald Peak Rd) ...absolutly beautiful and such a fun party.

This could be your NURSE!

Celebrating Chris's 27th Birthday

Chris was in town from Bend to celebrate his sister's graduation from Nursing School. While he was here, we celebrated his birthday.
Chris was really excited about getting a MP3 player & new duds to wear. I made Chris' favorite dish ..."my lasagna" and made chocolate mousse for dessert. I didn't have a candle, so we improvised with a tea-light candle.

Jackson really enjoyed the mousse!

Happy Birthday Chris! Love ya Punkin

Jackson & Keeli

Jackson was so cute just chillin' on Keeli's bed, but this didn't last long. As you can see, Keeli decided to join him and Jackson had other things on his mind...just not sure what he was thinking.

Stacie's Dance Team 2000-2002

I have been busy this weekend transfering VHS tapes to DVD format. I have been transfering all of Stacie's dance videos since 1993, our wedding, my sister, Linda's wedding (Chris & Stacie, along with me were part of this, they were 6 & 8.), and a 1986 video of Stacie & Chris celebrating Christmas with my parents (they were 3 & 5 at the time). I couldn't believe how long it took me to complete all this.I put together this SMILEBOX presentation: The video is of Stacie competing in the March 2002 OSAA State Dance Championships held @ the Rose Quarter. This performance is "Smooth Criminals" -Michael Jackson medley. She was in her senior year of highschool @ Century with the dance team "JAGS". She had been on this team for 3 years. (If you are trying to figure out which one is Stacie...the best way is on the 2nd medley song, she is in front, the 1st line, 1st position & she is the last one exiting on the right at the end of the video.) It's over 5 minutes long...but well worth it. Hope you enjoy it!

Visiting Nana & Papa

WorldMark Resort Vacation May 17-24, 2008

I just love this little one

I just love the expression on his face :)

This is the wagon that Jackson received from his G & G Ludlow and the Winnie the Pooh he got from his Great G & G Chevalier. Doesn't he look so grown-up in this outfit we got for his birthday?

Our Cove Palisades Trip

Check-out this hair doo
Stacie is 12 wks. pregnant.


We made a trip to the Cove on Sat. April 12th.
The weather was gorgious and 80 degrees.
Jackson had a blast including eating sand &
trying to taste a rock.
On the way back, Jackson surprised us when
he exploded thru his diaper and into his carseat!

The Scrapbook

I made this 8x8 scrapbook for Jackson's 1st year. I started working on this in January and just need to add the pictures from his birthday celebration. Here are a few of the pages in the book.

JACKSON'S 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY

Great Aunt Cindy & Uncle Steve had to leave early so they were not part of
the group photo. Stacie's grandparents are in their 80's-don't they look great!


We celebrated Jackson's 1st birthday at our home on Saturday. He really enjoyed his cake, although near the end he looked like he was "drunk with cake"!
