Jemma's Baptism

We had Jemma's Baptism on October 30th in the Satanta United Methodist Church. This little girl sure is loved here is who came: (my side) Grandma, Grandpa, Granny, Papa, & Uncle D; (Blake's side) Mamaw, Papaw, and Grandpa Ploger.

We got some pics beforehand. I got a few pics with my camera but my mom was there taking pics so hers will be much better but I wanted a few to post. She's really busy these days with photo shoots so it takes her awhile to get to our photos sometimes. But that's ok because we get really awesome photos at a great price *free*.

I asked my mom awhile ago if she still had my baptism outfit. We dug around and found it! I knew that we wouldn't do it until school started and I was baptized at a young age so I was a little concerned it would fit but it worked out great! I decided to update it a bit by picking out a cute headband off of Etsy. (Love that site!) I wore a bonnet with mine. I planned on getting some pics of Jemma in the bonnet but that didn't happen in all the hoopla but we'll get them soon.

Jaxon all dressed up for the big day. He loves fashion. He should be a designer or stylist and get his mom some great discounts!

We didn't get any good photos from the actual baptism. My brother was taking pics with my camera and the setting was off I guess. My mom will have good ones though.


The girl on her big day!


Jemma is a diva already. This is her second dress she wore for the day. I didn't want her being in the baptism outfit all day because I want to keep it nice so maybe her daughter could wear it at her baptism. I found this adorable dress at Target.


With Daddy.




We went out too eat in Garden at Samy's afterward. Very yummy and since I called ahead for a reservation we had a nice room to ourselves. Perfect!


Jaxon with some Halloween loot he got from Mamaw and Papaw.






















Afterwards I guess it was Jaxon's big day. We went to Crazy House (cowboy store) and he got spoiled by grandparents. I don't know where he got it from but he decided awhile ago he wanted a belt buckle. So he got a new belt, belt buckle, cowboy shirt with snaps and new boots. Yeah spoiled!

Trying on boots.






I forgot to get a pic of the buckle and boots but here is one with the shirt. He wanted the snaps because that is the kind Papa has.

Granny's Birthday and Pumpkin Carving.

The weekend before Halloween my parents came on Friday to watch the kids while we went to a Halloween party then on that Saturday my grandparents and brother came out because we were having Jemma's baptism that Sunday. (Busy weekend!) We also celebrated Granny's 76th birthday that was actually on Friday. I didn't get any pictures of that for some reason. We went down to Liberal and ate at Ruffino's - Italian food Yum!

Here are some random pics of the day. We played games and carved pumpkins.

Granny and Jaxon playing Connect Four.




Carving pumpkins outside. Jaxon wanted to do it at the beginning but of course got tired of it after awhile.




The guys were watching football when we started carving.
















Uncle D with Jemma.




Already getting sidetracked.
















Finished monster ghost. (We modified the carving a bit.)




Cupcakes and presents for Granny.










After cupcakes we played Wii bowling in the basement. Jaxon had it all planned out at the restaurant of who was playing and when. He said only Granny and him were going to play the whole time. I have no idea where this planning and bossing around gene comes from?
