Single Digits!!


Tomorrow starts the 8th week till we get to see Kenley! I know Steve and I are getting very anxious just to see what she looks like. She loves kicking her daddy when he rubs my stomach or when its bedtime. Its the cutest thing! I haven't had any swelling in my hands or feet, just really severe back pain and the fact that she stays under my ribs. I usually sleep on a heating pad for a while and we bought this little hand held massager to use also. We have her crib up so as soon as my shower gets here we are going to get her room fixed up. I look like I'm carrying a basketball under my shirt...I get teased a lot for that thanks to my dad. Its getting closer so I'm definitely showing more and yes I have a picture of my belly.

Jonna & Michael (Root) are now parents of a beautiful baby girl!! Baby Laken was born on Sunday, February 24. She is so adorable and looks like her daddy. Mom is doing great and baby Laken has been home for a week now. Everyone is doing good and loving having her here. Here are some pics of Baby Laken and the proud parents! Also, Baby Laken is named after Big Laken...and here are some pics of the both of them!!

Congrats Laken & Derek!


Laken & Derek are going to the STATE TOURNAMENT! I'm so happy for both of them and can't wait for it to begin. The Lady Blue Devils won the District Tournament, Region Tournament, and Sub State to get to the State Tournament in Murfreesboro. The girls won the first round yesterday and play Fri, and if they win play in the championship game on Saturday. Laken won MVP of the District and All Region in the Region Tournament! GO LAKEN!!! The Blue Devils advance to the State Tournament starting next week. The boys and girls were both able to host the SUB STATE at JCHS. This is the first time since the 70's that they have both been to STATE together! Blue Devils placed 3rd in the District and won the Region. Derek made both the District team and All Region Team! GO DEREK!! I know everyone is very proud of both of them and hopes they do well!! Laken is a Sophomore and up for MISS BASKETBALL and will find out Saturday night what the results are. Derek is a Senior and what a way to go out! I'm so proud of you and love you so much!!!
