Jessica's Senior Prom, Saturday, April 18, 2009

Easter Sunday 2009!

Photography by Ethan!

Ethan loves art! Photography and Sketching are his favorite catagories. I think he does pretty good. (Just imagine when he is his Aunt Kassie and Priscilla's age, hmmm). Today I was his "subject", here are a few of the shots.........

"Princess" Jessica Lauren

We had a nice birthday dinner for Jessica. She requested Red Lobster and then go back home for cake, ice cream and gifts. Her favorite cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting (and it can't be from the bakery) so I made her one, hmmm, she always seems to get what she wants, lol! John tried to embarrass her by having her wear the Princess streamer and the crown....she is such a good sport, she proudly wore them. I came across this little Kewpie doll and just HAD to get it for her since she looked like this doll when she was a year old!

Here is a few pics from the evening.

HAPPY 18th, JESSICA!!!

(about 10 minutes old)

You were the prettiest baby and still are!!!! I remember you looking like the Kewpie Doll when you were a year old. You also reminded me of Tweety Bird with those huge blue eyes!

(One Year Old)

Also, everytime I see that photo by Anne Geddes, I think of you showing us your "belwy-butt". You will always be my baby no matter how old you are!

It is just really hard to believe that it has been 18 years since you arrived here in my life! I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments! You are such a BEAUTIFUL young lady!

I love you, Jessica Lauren!

Not sure how to title this.....

Only a woman from the Dutton family would carry her purse down to the beach.....

I just want to wish the sweetest man in the world a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY today, February 3rd! John, I love you so much and am so glad that we are getting to spend your special day together! I hope your 41st is your best!

Just looking back on the past nine months....WOW! What an exciting time!
