On Saturday March 24th there was a Barn Dance at our church. Jemma "danced" in Daddy's arms almost all night. She even joined in with all the hootin' n' hollerin'........what a blast :-)

BIRTHDAY CAKE

At first Jemma wasn't too sure about eating her birthday cake..............but once she had a taste of it.................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......gooooooood cake!!

Jemma's First Birthday

We can't believe that a year has already passed. A year filled with our precious daughter's laughter and smiles....a youthful joy which we are very thankful for especially on this special day (Feb.4). We praise God every day for blessing us with this wonderful gift.

The stair challenge

Never having been on stairs before, Jemma was quite the pro climbing them for the first time!! (maybe she just wanted to get away from Momma)

this is easy :-).....bet you can't get me!!

I made it...yaaaayyyyyy!!!!

someone woke up too soon from their nap!! (maybe she's distressed over the way her hair looks :-))

say cheese.......Jemma & Kayla hamming it up for the camera.

*~*~WELCOME~*~*

Jemma's newest cousin :-)

"Hello....?" Jemma loves "talking" on the phone (hopefully this is NOT an indication of things to come) :-)

Jemma loves to share:-)

and a Happy New Year!!!!

Jemma....where are you?

"are you looking for me Momma?"

Jemma all snuggled up with her little lamb.....zzzzzz
