a sweet party

Have you ever thought to yourself, "How can I get a whole bunch of people to bring me cupcakes?" well... if you have, I have the answer! I recently invited some of my favorite people over for the first annual Jackson Women Cupcake Party.

We all brought 12 to share and left with a variety dozen and it was so fun to get together, eat cupcakes, and enjoy a full afternoon together. Some of us have always been Jacksons. some married into this lovely family. but all of us

love these two things: each other and cupcakes... which made it one sweet party.

love you ladies, and can't wait until next year!

squishy, handsome & charming

Thank the heavens above for squishy babies. I know my life is about to get a lot harder because mobility is just around the corner for this little one. But thanks to an abundance of rolls... she won't be going anywhere fast just yet. I gave her a bath at my moms in the sink a few weeks ago and we we laughing so hard... I just love these pictures.

 Derek had a change in his work schedule that gave him three days off in a row just to be here with us... which we haven't had since he started working. It was so great and the best timing ever since I really needed moral support. He is just such a great husband and just the best man I know. And so handsome when he sweetly kisses his baby girl with his scruff...

And Miss Bekah.. now she's just charming. Truly. Thanks for letting me boss you around... and I am sure you pretty much gave up your entire weekend to makeover my blog. you are the best. thanks for always laughing at my lame jokes, helping me when I am in crisis, and letting me leech off you creatively. I miss living by you every. single. day.
