Jacob's Blessing Day
"Jacob Jeremy Terrell, you will be strong and healthy throughout your life and be able to withstand the elements to remain healthy and live a long life. As you grow, you will strive to seek the Holy Ghost and opportunities to do right and be drawn to the spirit. You are blessed with the ability to discern between right and wrong and to gravitate toward those who will lift you up. You will grow strong and receive the priesthood and be a good priesthood holder. You will be able to serve a mission and be sealed in the temple for time and all eternity. You are blessed with the ability to listen to your parents, siblings, and your church family for guidance throughout your life. You will find an eternal companion, and you will be an example to those around you and a beacon of light."

Jenna's Preschool Graduation
Jenna had a great year in "Mrs. Dana's" preschool. Her field day was a blast. The tug of war is a favorite for sure.
The sponge game is a lot of fun too!
Here is the class.
Eating yummy Popsicles.
Dana is such an amazing women! ALL children flock to her. She will no longer be teaching preschool because her youngest will be starting school....so sad. She is such a wonderful, caring and loving person. She does such a great job preparing them for kindergarten.

Introducing Jacob Jeremy
6:30 a.m. on 4/13/09. Getting ready to deliver. I'm scared to death...even after 5!
Jake was born at 10:30 a.m. weighing in at a whopping 8lbs. 2oz.
I could not ask for a better father for our children. He has so much patience and is crazy in love with his kids. Some of my favorite (mind) snapshots are of him sleeping all snuggled up with one of the girls. I love watching him "gently" wrestle on the floor, and the shrills of laughter he can get from them during a tickle fight are priceless! He always has the best advice to give, when needed. He is so Christlike it astounds me! With every baby he takes over in the hospital he does everything (except feed) and loves to sleep throughout the night with the baby on his chest. 
Taking a quick nap before ALL of the big sisters arrive!
Looking into the nursery.

I think she likes him!

One BIG happy family.
All went well until that night when Jeremy got a case of food poisoning! I felt so bad for him because he had to go home. It broke my heart that he could not be with his son during his first night.
So it was up to me. I have to say that it was such an awesome experience. He was ALL mine. I woke up at 3:20 a.m. to feed him. The lights were off but the computer had a soft glow that lit up the room perfectly to see his face. We just stared at each other for the longest time. I wondered if he knew how much I wanted him. Tears started to form as I remembered my visit to the temple at around 10 weeks pregnant. After a session and sitting quietly thanking Heavenly Father for helping me with so much, and for the first time not getting really bad morning sickness. After my heartfelt prayer of thanks a voice plain as day said "You are having a son" I have never, up until then, received such a powerful experience. I have always envied those that have. What a special blessing that was for me. So as I sat there breathing in his newborn scent and enjoying watching him stare at me, I wished for time to stand still. 
All dressed in Blue! Going home......
Grandma Smith came from Utah to see him.
So did Grandma Jackson.
And aunt Ashley.
Nana and Papa were thrilled.
Nanny (Jeremy's grandma) came to town to meet him as well.
