A Day of Sorrow

Early this morning three of my co-workers were killed in a plane crash over the Colorado mountains west of Alamosa. My heart and prayers go out to their families and friends. I know that there are going to be hard times ahead for everyone involved. I am proud to work with such a good group of people who have dedicated their lives to helping others, and in this case have payed the ultimate price to do so. I just want to say to those who lost their loved ones today, that even though our world is filled with so much uncertainty, I know that if we put our faith in Jesus Christ that he is a loving and merciful God, and will help us through even the most difficult of times.

"Got My New Shoes On"

Ofcourse we have to put another post about Jaiden on our blog just because he's so cute. Here is Jaiden trying out his first pair of shoes. He loves wearing them so he can go walking around outside (with his mom or dad's help).




He had to step away from the camera for a while so he could go chase some bugs.

here is Jaiden showing off his new clothes(thanks Aunt Shelly and Uncle Jeremy) and cheesin' it for the camera.

Jaidens 1st Birthday

Jaiden's first birthday was a blast! We had a lot of fun spoiling the little guy. Thanks to everyone who sent presents, Jaiden loved them all.

Here is the cake Marie made, isn't it awsome!


The party!


Jaiden enjoyed his cake a little too much.


Jaiden opening his presents, he is an expert now.

Fun at the fair!

On the 22nd we went to the Cochise County Fair with our favorite neighbors
Josh and Jenny, and there friends Chris and Jen.

Here are Josh and Jenny, what a cute couple!


Jaiden Liked the goats.

Jaiden posing for the Camera

On Saturday, we headed over to Sierra Vista to get some professional pictures of Jaiden for his upcoming first birthday. We had them done at Sears and I thought they turned out pretty good. I thought the photographer was a little inexperienced but she did okay. Here are some of my favorite shots that were taken, (Don't tell, but I stole them off the sears website)



We thought this one was so funny because it shows exactly what his personality is like.




Jaiden's big birthday bash is going to be on Saturday. I'm probably making a bigger deal out of than is really necessary considering he probably won't even know what's going on. I guess that's just my job as his mom though. So I will post all the fun of the party next week after we get some good pictures of the extravaganza.

My favorite thing about Douglas is it's beautiful sunsets.
