More Colorado trip fun

Going to Colorado was a blast for Jason and I! We were able to see people I had not seen in over a year! I was able to show off Jason!

I am waiting on photo's ( I was the worst at picture taking! others are sending me photo's!)

Mimi Jason and I were able to see Kimberly and her son Austin along with Sally her mother at California Pizza Kitchen. A long lunch was so much fun, to tell you how old I felt I realized that I had not seem Kimberly since BEFORE she married her husband! Well she has a 20 year old now......................... I was in elementary school! It was great to catch up with her and her son was wonderful with Jason. Holding him and loving on him!

Sally was so much fun to see as well! I thank them all for the gift that they brought Jason, he loves the CD's and the fire truck.

On Tuesday we had the Moreland house bible study! That was so special I was able to hand Jason to Jim Singleton who prayed with him. I have waited for the for a long long time! I am looking forward to Jim being able to baptize Jason in December!

Durring the bible study Jackie held on to Jason and loved him until Bev turned around and said

when is my turn??

So mid bible study we played pass the baby!

After the bible study Bonnie got to hold he baby since she was not able to make the shower! It was so much fun to see Jason get all the love!

The rest of the week was mainly about family! We had wonderful weather and a great time playing with Jason and taking him to all the old "haunts" I love to go to! We had French Onion Soup ( 2 times!) it is the best french onion soup! I was able to gobble up Chick-fil-a since we do not have that up here in Washington YUMMY!!!

Wednesday night Jason and I took Papa O put to BBQ and some bonding time! Yummy!!
Poor Jason was dressed up in a cute sweat suit that was a gift that made us so happy! I fear he was oblivious to the fact how much we loved the Bronco's, he even slept in Mimi's arm durring the Bronco football game!

While we were there Mommy and Jason looked at new cars! We are LOOKING at a mini van! Long and short of it! I am in love with the van so we will see if it is in the budget BUT...................... upon returning home Mommy broke out in a MAJOR rash and it turns out per the Dermatologist that I may be alergic to the product that car dealerships put on seats to protect them! I will spare you with a photo but just know that I broke out in a blister like rash head to toe in red blisters and a rash! Ummmm really want a mini van???? ( YES! seats can be cleaned!)

Here are some pictures of our time just hanging out at home with Mimi and Papa O while waiting on word from our family in Houston and all our friends with the invasion of Ike the terrible!

Jason's first trip to Colorado

Hi all, we are so sorry that it has been so long since the last post! Jason and I did not take our computer to Colorado to Mimi and Papa O's house. So I am catching up on the posting!

WHEW can you say whirl wind trip? It was 8 days and it felt like 2-3!

Let me start with the flight and Southwest Airlines! I love them! There were empty seats on the flight so they invited me to bring on Jason's car seat! I loved it! It is the ONLY way to fly!! Jason was great on the plane!

When we got to Denver Mimi was there when we got off the plane and through security! The tears started then! We rushed to Colorado Springs to see Papa O and it was like being home again, only we really missed Daddy as he could not make the trip!

Papa O and his "rootin' scoot"! In the back yard having some swing time!

On the day after we got to Colorado, Jason and were able to attend our Baby shower! It was a joy a long time in coming! I can not say enough thanks to Jackie and Mother! It was a dream come true to have a baby shower!

I was excited to see the cake that Jackie had done! Anything with my little boys picture on it is beautiful, but then again I am bias!

I have lots of the pictures coming of the shower and I will have them uploaded when I get the CD! I can tell you that the devotional that was done by Lauri was a tear jerker for me and Lauri and I am sure others there too! I want to thank Lauri from the very bottom of my heart! Your words were perfect and touched my heart!


First off the Hostess with the Mostess! Jackie and Jason! What a apecial person in our son's life!!! Jason could not be more blessed by love then the ladies of Village 7 Pres. Church! They have prayed and loved a baby they have not met until now!

There were so many ladies there, almost all grand-mothers and a good time was had by all!!!

This is Marjorie Long and Jason

This is Margaret Hunt and the cuddely little guy, the only man at the party!

As I said I am missing some picture so more to come later! But a special thanks to EVERYONE that was able to join in our special time! And a wonderful loving thanks to Mimi for the use of her house and to Jackie and her daughter Stephanie for the long hours of cutting out animals for the invitation! I will cherish it!!!

Jason Sacha and I are very blessed with love and support from so many people. Some we do not even know! I can tell you that the power of prayer is amazing!!! I believe in it............. do you?

Houston or bust????

Well the first trip with Jason is over and a glowing success with him flying!!! Here is a picture of Jason in FIRST CLASS on the way home!
We got off the plane to HUMIDITY!!! We had forgotten how bad it can be!

We checked into the Hilton and Jason slept the first time since the hospital somewhere other then home in his own crib!

We had a family dinner on Friday night and celebrated Tim's birthday ( my cousin's cousin). Uncle U-U also known as my brother Jon and my Uncle Howard were among those of us at dinner at Pappasito's. YUMMY!!!

Saturday we had a meet and greet with friends and family and that was fun! Here is the cake we had!

We had lots of people there! My good friend Erin and her son had a great time holding Jason!

It was wonderful to see her, she was so great the whole pregnancy for me, giving advice, love and support!!!

We also got to introduce Jason to my cousin Eric and his wife Gina!

Eric is in his final year of Med school and lucky me, in Pediatrics, lots of help! I am sure I may call him a time or two but I asked him first and he said that is ok with him!!!

We also had Uncle Howard and "Aunt Tish" there and Howard Mother in Law Mary, good thing they were there as the party was at Uncle Howard's house! Thanks Howard!!!

Other friends ( ok so I fell down on picture taking!) were there Stephanie and her son Aidan, her mother Pam and her sister Sara. Also Erin's husband Tim and long time friends Stacy and Chris with their girls Payton and Paige! It was amazing to see how much they have grown, Stacy was pregnant with Payton when she was in our wedding!!! Paige was about 1 month old the last time I saw her! She is 3 now! Growing up so fast! Such pretty girls and so cute in pink! Sacha's good friend Arnaud and his wife Marie Clair were there as well as their kids Camilla and Sabastian. Here is a picture of Marie Clair holding Jason!

While in Houston we went to my brother's new office! Decorated so wonderful!! Go JON! Here he is in his new office! This is the fish tank on the wall in his office! So cool!!!

Saturday night we met up with some great friends Tommy and Liz, our old neighbors We had more mexican food and some good times catching up and playing with Jason! We ran into Stephanie and her group of friends at the resturant too! Then we went back to our old street, it was so sad to see my old house and know that I do not live there anymore! But we had a great time with Sacha and Tommy " having solders ( beers) and Lizzy and I chatting and playign with Jason. Their son Ryan came home after work and saw the baby then bolted out ( 17 year old has nothing in common with a baby!)

On Sunday we had been watching the storm in the Gulf of Mexico and decided that with all the weather reporters saying it would hit Lousianna then turn west and good chance Houston would get lots of rain and wind, we decided it was time to get out as soon as we could!

So we ran around that day as much as we could, went to see a old friend of mine Christy and her husband Mike and their 2 year old son Brandon. They could not make the party as Brandon had a fever and she did not want Jason to get sick! THANK YOU! We also saw Maggie at Chico's who I used to work with and showed off Jason!

We were also able to see Damon, a very good friend and have him meet Jason. Damon was a great support in our past losses in not giving up! He was thrilled to meet Jason over coffee and some munchies!

On Sunday with Dinner with a friend Dillon and my brother Jon. We had to have a early dinner and it had to be BBQ! Man it was great!

Now we are home! Sacha took the rest of the vacation he had already and we had family time! We went to Starbucks at Greenlake and Jason napped! All in all it was a great 4 days, a little shorter then we wanted and we did not get to see our "special friends" Stuart and Leslie as they got home Monday afternoon from a trip of their own, so close yet so far! But we are planning on going back to Houston as soon as we can!!!

I have to do laundry and re-pack, Jason and I go to Colorado this weekend with out daddy! I am having a baby shower and showing off our miricle to the many people who prayed for Jason and Sacha and I the whole time! I am excited! Seeing my mother and dad too is wonderful!
