Green Eggs and Ham

We've been blessed with getting to have Jullian with us all summer!! I guess Ashley asked him if he wanted breakfast before coming over to our house and his reply was No way Gram makes breakfast for us! And when he gets here he asks what's on the menu. So I made Green Eggs and Ham. His fav is the Sunny D.

Covey loves to wear his food, but he does like eggs and hashbrowns.

Eden however almost refused to eat it because it was green. I had to coax her to try one bite. And then she ate a ton after that. How funny. It's the same food, but because it's green it's a little repulsive. Just goes to show you Sam I am was right.

Happy 3rd Birthday Pookie!

My little princess almost didn't make it. They couldn't get her to breath and she wouldn't pink up. I called Dean who was on the road with Adam moving my mothers things here from Utah to Pray! I stood watch at the nursery window while Travis stayed with Ashley. When we didn't come back for an hour Ashley started panicking. I finally was able to get over there once they gave the thumbs up and tell my baby that her baby girl was going to be alright and that she would be in as soon as they got her wrapped up. Our little Eden Rae is truly a blessing from God.

Her first day home. What an angel. I hope I never miss a day in the life of this angel. She is my blonde haired, blue eyed sweetie pie. And she is my biggest cheerleader.

Papa and his Pookie Pie. You know...."Papa Loves Pookie Pies!" That's what he's told her since she was born and she counts on him to tell her that. They have a very special relationship that I know Dean cherishes.

Eden's 1st birthday. She had a Balloon that was bigger than her and she kept telling Dora to stay down. I think that was the highlight of the day.

I'm this many Gram!! My 2 year old princess's birthday. What a sweetie she was at 2....

And today, I'm 3 Gram. Yesterday I put her in a dress. And about 10 minutes later she came running into the kitchen to tell me " Look Gram, my dress has pockets." I told her it was because she was 3 and big girls get pockets on their dresses. So she wanted to run in and tell Oma (My Mom) , " Oma, my dress has 3 yr old pockets. Isn't it wonderful!"

Yes Eden it's wonderful and the great things that you do are wonderful too. Papa and I just laugh at some of the wonderful things that come out of your mouth. You love to have dance parties. You love to read books with us. You love to draw pictures and yesterday you used your very first pair of scissors. You love to play with Papa on the swingset. You LOVE dinosaurs. You are a very picky eater these days. And you fill your Grandma and Papa's hearts with tons of love and joy everyday. We miss you when you're gone over the weekends. Grandpa hurries home so that he can have Pookie time. You are a pure joy and we're blessed that God gave you to us. Keep growing princess, we love you.

Family Pics

We've gotten really blessed this summer. Jullians mom is letting him spend all summer with Travis and Ashley. So I get to have my boy with me all week. He is growing up to be such a special young man. He helps with Cove and Eden, he offers to help make breakfast or lunch. This morning he even told me to sit down and he'd make Uma's breakfast. (That's my mom). He wanted a snuggle pic with Cove so I hurried and grabbed the camera.

Happy Father's day daddy!! Dean and his princess Doodle. Ashley tried to tell Eden that Dean was her daddy but Eden yelled and got defensive saying " no he's not! He's MY PAPA!"

We bought a new teeter totter for Eden's birthday. It has 3 places to sit and she and Cove loved it.

Evan however wasn't quite as sure.

Evan loves to splash and get wet. He's almost 1 .

Ahhhh... the cousins and best buds together.

Here's a new pic of Papa and his boys. Can't believe how quick they're growing!

Dean and his mini me Layton!

Brother Chuck and Adam during Grad Sunday. Adam was such a good sport with Chuck razzin' him.

Ok, seriously this was a piece of corn we husked the other day. Just added this in for the heck of it.

Here's the Graduate!

Adam, John and Chris his roommates and best friends the last 4 years.

See.... I finally got a degree! Yes, college is done.

Dude, can you belive we finally graduated? This is my favorite pic because they didn't know I took it and it's just a natural pic of the boys.

Mom, Adam and dad. It was a freezing cold day and the ceremonies were held outside starting at 10:30 am. So needless to say we were all freezing, but it was well worth the cold to watch Adam cross that stage and get his degree.

Chris and Adam getting ready to put on their cap and gowns. They were just horsin' around as usual. Gonna miss those guys.

Happy Birthday Layton Cove!!

On May 8th, 2009 we welcomed Layton Cove Jennings into our world. Such a precious little boy.

Grandma and mom were very proud of our new little man. He was so long and skinny. He had vertually no meat on his little bones. We looked and looked at him trying to decide who he looked like and then it dawned on us.... He looks like his Papa Dean.

This little man is full of life. He smiles at everything and is so good natured. His eyes dance with mischief. And what beautiful blue eyes he has. He has grown up so fast over this past year. He scared us in January with having to go to the hospital and stay for a week. We're so glad that God decided to spare his little life because we wouldn't know what to do without this little man. He sleeps through the night. We lay him down and he just goes to sleep by himself. When he wakes up he just lays there and plays until someone comes to get him. He loves to rock on the horse. He loves to read books. He's learning to growl like a lion. He loves to be wherever Eden is which sometimes isn't a good thing. He loves to give kisses and he loves to be hugged. I call him bub and I sing a song about " Bub a dub dub" and he sings Bub. He loves any kind of music and when he hears it he starts to bounce and dance. It's so sweet. But by far his favorite thing to do is go riding in the wagon. As soon as we open the patio he's at the wagon. If I stop to water flowers while he's in the wagon, he pushes the handle into you so that you will go. He refuses to sit down while we walk. (The little stinky man!) We thank God for our little Layton Cove or better know as Covey.

So happy first birthday Bub!! Grandma loves you!

My Baby is Graduating College

Yep, that's Adam in the middle with the glasses. He was in Kindergarten. My blonde haired baby boy has gone and grown up on me. On Saturday he'll be graduating from Earlham College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business and Non-Profit administration. Don't know what he'll do after Saturday, but I know he has a heart for sharing the gospel, he has a Canadian Football League Combine in Atlanta on June 6th and he's got resumes out and he's got an appointment with a man from Campus Crusade for Christ, Atheletes In Action. I know God has big plans for him. I just can't believe it's gone by so quickly. We are very proud of you ADAM!!
