Christmas Scrapbook 2011

Joyful Christmas Wishes!

Halloween Scrapbook

Halloween 2011 was full of celebration. Brody loved every minute of Captain Hook time. We loved seeing all of our favorite kids in their adorable costumes. Now can someone please come over and take all this candy out of the house?

Happy Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween from Captain Hook and all of the Jennings!!!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Happy Birthday to the best dad in the world.

Do you like the shirts I picked out for us?

I love you -- Brody

P.S. Sorry I let go of the balloons!

back in session

Brody is back to school today! This year brings even more curriculum, including Spanish on Mondays and chapel on Wednesdays. Brody was so excited to see his friends again after the summer break. We cannot wait to see how he grows as the year goes on.

Colorado Scrapbook

This year was one of our favorite visits to LoLo & Pop's cabin in Colorado. Brody was able to spend special time with his grandparents and cousins. We fished, threw rocks in the creek, rode a horse (named Cleo), went rafting, rode a ski lift, ate at some of our family's favorite restaurants and more! Whew! Believe it or not, it actually was relaxing. And a wonderful escape from a busy summer. We are already counting the days to our next trip.

Fourth of July in the Mountains

This year we spent Fourth of July weekend with a LOT of my family in Red River, New Mexico. It was a wonderful holiday filled with family celebration, cool(er) weather, sun and rain (the good kind)! Brody is a mountain man at heart. He could spend endless hours throwing rocks into the river and filling his pockets with all kinds of messy treasures.

Popsicles in the pool!

We are doing all we can to keep cool these days, and yesterday that meant ice-cold popsicles and pool time with some good friends.

when I grow up...(part 2)

Brody's list of potential future vocations is growing! These were taken in our driveway yesterday. Brody told me that when he grows up he would like to be a construction worker and build us a new driveway.




Here is a little more detail about his last career path!

School's out for the summer!

Yesterday Brody had his last day of preschool. His first year was so much fun for all of us. He LOVED going to school. We are going to miss his first teacher, Mrs. Miriam and all the wonderful friends he made this year. It was such a delight to hear him tell stories about what he and his friends did that day and he really learned so much.

Brody on his last day...and his first day this past September!

Welcome Graham!

Brody has a new cousin! Graham arrived safely and healthy on Thursday and we have loved seeing him. Brody has been very excited about his first "boy" cousin. He's ready to teach him all about dinosaurs, trains, rockets and robots.

Check out all the details on Hayley's blog!



Thanks so much, Dale, for taking these adorable pictures!

Easter 2011

Easter this year has been so fun. Since Brody is three, he is beginning to to try and understand what the holiday is really all about. He knows it is about Jesus, and his version goes something like this...some bad guys killed Jesus and then put him in a cave behind a big rock. Then God brought Jesus back to life because he loves Jesus and loves us.

Not bad, right?

This year we celebrated with LoLo & Pop, Aunt Hayley & Uncle Casey, Clare, Syd, and Jane. AND Graham is just about here! The cousins loved their Easter Egg hunt and continued to hide and find the eggs all morning.
















Oh, and Brody wants everyone to know that bunnies don't lay eggs.

Happy Easter everyone!

When I grow up...

Lately Brody has been talking about being a pilot when he grows up. I am trying to take comfort in that being the reason he has been wearing his "gobbles" non-stop for the past two days. He wore them shopping yesterday and told everyone they helped him see at night, underwater, and in caves.

a little party

This weekend Brody had a family birthday celebration. After weeks of being indoors, it was so fun to have a gorgeous day and lots of fun with grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Snow daze...

Remember when snow days were fun??? After our fourth straight day of ice and snow...no school...no playdates...no going outside or running off steam, THIS is how we all felt about yet another "snow day!"


At least Brody and Daddy were able to spend part of the afternoon making a snow friend! For a Texan, Daddy builds a GREAT snowman!

Yippee...Brody is THREE!!!

Brody is three today! He is such a happy, funny boy. He plays so hard, but loves so sweetly. Nathan and I love him SO MUCH!

Brody was going to going to get a bike for his special day, but our street looks like this. It's a sheet of ice. Actually reminds us of the day he was born!

Anyone care for a dip?

Since we couldn't make the bike work, I made a late-night trip to the toy store yesterday and got a more indoor appropriate gift!
