Gramma and Jacob





These are some of my favorite pictures of my mom and my first born baby, Jacob.  My mom came up to stay with me when it seemed as if Jacob was going to arrive early--and of course, he didn't.  She was leaving the very next day, and that morning at about 530 my water broke, and by 312 pm, on June 3, 1991.

The writing on the page says... "Our beautiful boy! Grandma's second grandson...How excited she was for you to arrive  And you did!! Just in the nick of time.  Gramma was leaving the very next day.  How grateful I was to have her calm reassurance during labor. How grateful, for a mom who loves and adores her grand baby!

Jacob and His Poppa





Jacob and my dad!!  He drew a picture for his Poppa, while at the Grandkids Day Care Center.
I loved having my kids there (Pendleton, Oregon), because my friend, Tracy Gower ran it, and hired the most caring, beautiful people to care for our kids.  I loved all the activities that they did with the kids, and honestly...I have MOST of them saved.  Now that Jacob is almost 22, I thought it was time to do something with them!!  :)

Sorry I've been missing in action...I had/have that bug that is going around, and it won.  I plead mercy!!

Jordan's Graduation





Jordan Davis Rawls....What can I say about this beautiful young man?  His sense of humor always would catch me off guard, his brilliance---this boy can do ANYTHING he wants to do in life.  The writing on the bottom of the page says:  Senior Pictures - Salem, Oregon -Jordan Davis Rawls - 17 years old.  How much I love this boy.

I used the February Kit of the month from Studio Calico, there are a few My Minds Eyes treasures added it, but for the most part, it is from the main kit.
