Playing Catch-up with Jacob

Believe it or not, my winter has been pretty crazy with weddings so I'm just now posting some much needed cute photos of Jacob. Lucky for me, he's patient about having his time in the spotlight! It's a bit of a hodge-podge but here's some photos from the last couple of months...I'll explain the photos as they are posted. Here's our cutie!

Here's Jacob's Perfect Attendance Award pic...congrats!

Jacob with his new cousin, Beck...Beck finally fell asleep after crying...Jake was a natural with him (in practice for his baby sister!)




Here are some cute photos of Jacob that his daddy took...some of my favorites!




Jacob enjoying some hot chocolate after playing in the snow with me...look at those cute little red cheeks and nose!




Jacob recently competed in his first Kempo Karate Tournament and won a trophy, two 4th place finishes and one 2nd place finish! Great job Jake!

Here he is letting us know he placed 2nd in the Karate Combo segment...yay!


Jacob didn't fare so well in this battle...

Jamé and Eoin's Wedding Day

I have waited way too long to post this event...by far, this was the most beautiful wedding I've planned (in my opinion) and absolutely the most fun I've had in 5 short months of planning! The bride, Jamé and her fiance, Eoin (pronounced like Owen) were in Ireland during almost the entire process of planning, so I had the privilege of planning with Jamé's mother, Jennifer, who has extremely wonderful taste! Mother's of the bride get a bad wrap in my opinion...I had a blast with Jennifer and her family made me (and my family!) feel like a part of theirs from the beginning. To top it all off, we hired some of my favorite vendors: Greg at The Millennium Center for the reception site (love this place!!), Wayne at Floral Visions Design Studio for the GORGEOUS flowers, Liz at Grayhall Designs designed our beautiful stationary items, including Jamé and Eoin's logo that was used almost everywhere, Updo's for hair/makeup, Babs and Scott at Poetic Reality Productions and of course, Logan Jarrard for his fantastic , "put tears in your eyes" photos that he is famous for! Logan let me "borrow" some of his shots from his blog here to post for your enjoyment. This wedding was a lot of work with a lot of details to take care of, and I really never knew I could have so much fun working so hard!! Thanks to the Tierneys and the O'Sullivans for a very, very memorable experience and for loving on my family as you did...we love you guys!







What a ring!

Gorgeous!!
My favorite shot so far...




I love it when the bride and groom get to see each other before...it creates such an intimate moment and this way, the groom can truly "see" the bride for the first time and the bride can see his reaction clearly....and Logan sets this up so well!














Details, Details!! An example of Jennifer's great taste!

Eoin's brother made a great toast!

Yes, this party was hoppin'!
