Jake's 26th Birthday




For Jake's birthday he requested a kahlua coffee cheesecake. I made it and decorated it with blue cool whip and a lego man fishing with floss for a fruit snack. I thought that was quite appropriate. For his birthday he received a tree saddle for hunting from his parents. An air compressor from my parents. Clothes from me and Jessica and a season of 'The Office' from my sister and her fiance. He seemed to really enjoy his day and I'm sure he will kill me for posting things about his birthday on the blog. Thanks everyone!!!

These are a few of her favorite things...

Look out world here I come. I'm glad the coffee table is good for something.


Thank you Grandpa Ash for packing all this wonderful paper in Jake's gift. I had so much fun!

Giddy-up mom. Yee-ha!!!

Jessica enjoys many things but some of her favorites are tearing paper, playing horse, and climbing on the coffee table. In other news, I started track practice this week and have an incredibly guilty conscience about leaving Jessica everyday for hours. It's not that I don't love coaching I do. I know many mothers have to leave their children to work and I'm very fortunate that I get to stay home with my daughter. Since volleyball season ended I've gotten used to spending long days with Jessica. Sometimes we even take an afternoon nap together. I know I will never get that opportunity again so I'm trying to absorb it all but I'm feeling pretty selfish about being away from her during the track season not to mention long track meets. It seems everyday I wake up and Jessica is a little bit bigger. I'm trying to keep her a baby but she's not cooperating. It's not that I don't love the great personality or all the fun we are having now but I miss rocking her and snuggling her. I don't know what I will do when I have to give up nursing too! I now know why it is such a struggle to give up nursing. I hope that we are fortunate enough to have another child. Jessica would love someone to play with!!!

Jake has been busy travelling Nebraska. He recently returned from Sydney. He designed something in a town nearby and got to present with the Vice President of the Company. He works long hours and travels a lot but we are blessed in the fact that he's never had to spend the night anywhere. He seems to enjoy his job and travelling in the Malibu. He also enjoys all the hunting buddies he's meeting. I think that's all for updates. More to come.

Our growing girl or should I say monster?







Jessica is really great at emptying drawers. She empties any drawer that is left open and enjoys watching mom pick it up. She is growing so fast but we love every moment of it!

This is just the beginning...

I thought it was important to update those of you who don't have facebook. I know I'm not very good about emailing many of you so I thought this would be a great way for you to see our growing family. So here it is the Holdrege Deaver's meet blogspot. For those of you who are English grammar critics I'm just a kindergarten teacher so go easy on me. I'm not sure we will ever see a post from Jake but I've been surprised before. Enjoy!!!
