Here are the most recent pictures of Chad's little boy "Walter". I haven't talked to Chad lately to hear the recent details on how he is doing, but the pictures are precious and he looks to be doing quite well!! Enjoy these!!!

His hair seems to be lightening up a little.

Sweet dreams...smiling in his sleep!!

He is so handsome!!!

New picture of baby "Walter"

This is our recent picture of our little Walter!!! He is getting even cuter by the day!! Wish I could just squeeze him right now! The post below this one gives all of his details...LOL!!

Welcome Baby "Walter"!!!

Hello family!

We welcomed a new little one to our family tonight (June 4th) !!! Chad and his wife Linh had their little boy. He was born at 6:07 pm our time (which was 6:07 a.m. June 5th in Vietnam). He weighed 7lbs 4 oz and is doing very well. It was a very tough delivery (Her Dr's are still talking about it being the worst labor they had ever seen and are blaming it on the foreigner! LOL!). Linh is not sure their will ever be another child! Linh is now resting comfortably. His name is Walter Vu Son Price! He is named after his Great Grandpa Walter (My mom's dad). Vu (pronounced Voo) is Linh's last name and means rain. "Son" means Mountains. He already has a nickname.....Chad is known as "Buffalo" by many friends in Vietnam because of his tall stature and Walter's nickname is now "Ngey" (pronounced Ney') meaning "Buffalo calf". He is a beautiful baby boy! He has dark Asian shaped eyes like his mom and also his mom's nose. But he has Daddy's forehead and has very long arms and legs! He has quite a bit of dark hair! We'll get some more pictures as soon as he sends them. Technology is pretty amazing to already have pictures, texts, and emails from Vietnam!! We wish he was here with us though!

Jazmyn's "graduation"...

What a fun Sunday we had! We went to church and had a wonderful time (daddy actually stayed home to cook us lunch because we had to go straight from church to eat a real quick lunch and then to graduation). Yes, I said...GRADUATION. Jazmyn actually has another year of preschool because her birthday is Aug 14th, 2 weeks after the cut off for Kindergarten. She loved preschool this year and really made some good friends. She had practiced so hard all week long with new songs so we left it up to her if she wanted to participate in the ceremony this year. Jazzy really wanted to sing with her friends and for her "Bubby and Sissies", so here we are.

Jazmyn will graduate again next year and then again in Kindergarten, I wonder what she's going to think in 1st grade when she doesn't get to officially "graduate" then too?!!! HMMMMM?

We had a great time with Jon, Anna, and Ellie this weekend. School is almost out for them and we are looking forward to getting to see them more this summer. We really miss them when they aren't around!
Below is Jazmyn's entire class on their last day of school. It was a fun day!

For some reason my pictures taken inside the church sanctuary are always so dark! She is in the back row and is second from the left in this photo. She did a fantastic job singing, and I even caught her doing a few of the hand motions this time....just once....to her favorite song of the year! It is always so much fun to watch them sing.

Playing with Friends...

We have made several trips to "play" with friends this past month. It is so much fun to visit everyone and stay connected. Here is Leslie and Marilyn. She is quite the Mama's girl as you can see . In the picture where Leslie is holding her, I had been holding Marilyn and she cried as soon as I got her. Then as soon as mommy got her she stopped immediately and just snuggled! She is such a sweetie!! Look at her giving "kisses"! Gotta love them baby kisses!!!





Jazmyn had a lot of fun playing with Marilyn. She stayed with them for the entire day so by the time I got there they were great friends. Marilyn would even go to Jazmyn with no crying. What a gorgeous smile she has!!! ...and she laughs at everything!!

This is Tacy's little one, Evan Wade! He is a sweet little boy. Jazmyn had so much fun getting to hold him and love on him.

She certainly loves her babies! Now that I am no longer babysitting she has to get her "baby fix" when we go to visit friends!! She sat and held Evan for a long time this day. Even when he started to fuss she would work with him and get him back to sleep.

A few weeks ago, Michelle was home from Florida with her two little ones. Jazmyn and Leila are only about 2 weeks apart in age and always have so much fun together. They played at the park one day for about 3 hours and then they also played at Michelle's mom's house together one day. They really seem to get along very well.

Lots of Hugs!!!

I love having our play dates now that I am not babysitting full time! I miss "my" babies but it is so great to be able to set my own hours and make sure that Jazzy gets to play with her friends on occasion!

Just a quick update: I am feeling wonderful. No headaches for the past 5 weeks. I can move my neck completely once again. I am continuing to lose weight which has continued to make me feel even better. My incision bothers me on occasion with the rainy weather, but its so minor compared to how I was feeling!

Jazmyn is doing wonderful. Her last day of Preschool is today. I am not sure what we will do all summer to keep her entertained. She is already missing school and the summer isn't even officially here quite yet. I keep telling her...in just 3 months you get to go back, but the whole "month" thing is somewhat of a non-existing time to her. It's just too long! We'll keep you posted on all the fun things we do this summer. Looking forward to spending more time with my step kids. Our summer's are always fun with them around!!

Memories...

I hope all of the mother's that read this had a FABULOUS Mother's Day!! I had a great day with Jeovany and Jazmyn and family.

We have really been enjoying the warmer weather lately, and have made many trips to the Park already this week! I had to put a quick snapshot of Jazzy on the Elephant slide. I can remember playing on this slide when I was a kid. I vividly remember one field trip (3rd or 4th grade?) to this particular park. I have several pictures of Leslie, Lezlie, Jodi, Mary, and I on this slide!!! What fun memories we have together!

We had a great time at the Park!!!
The slide was recently re-painted, so it looks so nice once again! Have a great rest of the week!

Collage of our Journey!!!

This was so much fun to create and even more fun to present to mom on her first day being a NEW DIRECTOR!! Click on the pictures and you can enlarge them and really see the shadow box well. It represents our journey over the past year with Beauticontrol!! It has been such a fun journey and to think it's only just beginning!!!! I can't wait to see what this year holds.

Annie pointing out all of the details of the box. It is filled with tons of little decor and wordings that were put together with lots of love!

Lots of pictures from our twice annual trips to Dallas for Leadership and Celebration! It also has items from mom's "DREAM BAG" towards the bottom.
