Daddy Graduates!!!

Waiting patiently for the festivities to begin!

Jonathan and his Dad. Nola's Big Dad
Our Little Family

Yay Daddy!

We are so proud of Jonathan! He graduated from the University of Memphis on Saturday! It has been a long, hard road, but he stuck with it and finished! Good Job Daddy!!

Jump Jump Party

Yes, I know I am blogging alittle erratically! I finally got to sit down and catch up! Here is part 2 of Nola's birthday festivities! She loved the Pump-It-Up party! Everytime we say we are going to a party she automatically thinks it is a Jump-Jump party! I need to think of an excuse to have her another party- too bad they are so expensive! Maybe we can for her 1 year activation anniversary.... We'll have to convince Daddy first! :)

The Wedding

Our good friends, Andy and Deanna, got married on December 4. We were honored that they asked us to be a part of their special day! These two are special to us because they are Nola's Godparents. We chose them to be Nola's Godparents because they are two more people Nola can look to for role models. Nola was the most beautiful flower girl I have ever seen! We were concerned she would not walk down the aisle, but on the big day she did great! She walked down swinging her arm and then at the end she dumped all of her rose petals in a pile! It was priceless!!

Summer 2010

This summer, we went to the River with Honey & Pop-Pop. Nola loved it!!
We rode in the boat, played in the sand,roasted marshmallows and hotdogs, and slept in the RV!


Nola being silly.


This one is my favorite!

Prayers....

A sweet family, The Harrisons, lost one of their twin daughters, Evie Grace, last Thursday. Please pray for them during this difficult time in their lives. No one knows their pain and I pray that the Lord wraps his arms tightly around them.
We don't ever know what the future holds and though we have faced the possibility of death or impairment with Nola, you are never ready to say goodbye to your baby.

Holidays recaps are coming!

I have been TERRIBLE at keeping up with the blog lately! I'm sorry! There is so much going on around the Bawcum household- I promise to sit down sometime next week and get all the happenings caught up!!

Party Time! Nola's Family Party

Nola had a blast at her family party at the house. Nola and her cousins played in the yard while Daddy cooked the hamburgers and hotdogs. Honey, Pop-Pop, Aunt Julia, Addison, and Nola also enjoyed the fresh pecans off the pecan tree! Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, and Cousins were all in attendance.

Opening cards with money!

We will be in trouble when Nola is older! She is loves clothes!! Oh, and shoes too!

A Baby!

Nola enjoyed the blue cupcakes!

Our pretty little girl turns 3! Mommy & Daddy cannot believe it!

Nola blew out the candle!

Happy Birthday to our little miracle!!

All smiles and surrounded by family!

Birthday Party #1

Today will be such a great day for Nola! Nola's Pump-It-Up party is today! We are so excited for her! We have been talking about the party the last week or so and Nola just lights up when we tell her all her friends are coming to a party just for her! Pictures will follow soon!

Let the Festivities Begin!

Nola's first "friends" party will be Sunday and I cannot wait! I know I'm crazy for paying the price, but Nola loves Pump-It-Up! Yes, she has to take off her implants, but she doesn't care! She will climb up the slide and slide down thousands of times! I cannot wait to take pictures of her and all her friends. They are mostly her school mates at Memphis Oral School with a few cousins and others thrown into the mix. This will be a time of celebrating- Nola is turning 3 and we only see a great things coming for our little miracle!
