Halle's 3 Month

Here is sweet little Halle!
She is the daughter of Kyle and Jodi Hudson, fellow Broncho's of Ray and I. We photographed these at Centennial Park in downtown Tulsa on a bright and hot Saturday morning. Jodi's sister and her daughter (who is only a couple weeks younger than Halle) also came out for the shoot. This is one beautiful family! enjoy-

Another Birthday, Another Surprise..

Happy 27th Birthday to my hubby!
Ray celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, and I am happy to announce that I surprised him yet again :c) I don't know why or when it all started, but in my relationship with Ray I have always liked to throw him surprise birthday parties. Even when we were dating I started this. And I guess I can say that I'm blessed to be married to a clueless man who doesn't pay much attention to what's going on around him, 'cause each year I've managed to surprise him. This year was different in that I didn't plan a party for everyone, just a date night for ourselves (I figure those will soon be harder to come by, so might as well take advantage..).
The spoof came into play when I told Ray that I wanted to take maternity pictures this Tuesday so that I can have them for my baby shower this Saturday. Even though it he does not like having his pictures taking, hates maternity shots, and it was his birthday, he obliged to go (isn't he a sweet sweet man?). So I was able to get him out of the house dressed up a bit (slacks even!) and had a good excuse to be spiffed up myself. Somehow I managed my way into the drivers seat (he always drives) and told him we were going to 'Deshawna's mother-in-laws', which he has no idea where that's at. It wasn't until I exited 10th street that he started to get suspicious (he knew the house was in the country). At first he guessed a party and wanted to make sure I didn't make the Tulsa people drive down like they did last year (because they'll be coming for his baby shower on). I denied that and told him we were going to Red Prime to enjoy a night together. Even though for some crazy reason that makes the 4th time to have steak in the past week, he was more then pleased (except when he found out that he has another week to forward to this maternity shoot... it's scheduled for next Tuesday). We enjoyed our night and I think he had a very happy birthday :c)

My First Baby Shower

Last Saturday was my first baby shower!

It was beautiful and lovely and I really enjoyed being around all my lifegroup girls!

My friends Contessa and Jules were the hostesses (this is Jules stunning home)

I certainly feel like the 'big' sister here!

A good friend Melonie, who only 6 months ago was were I am at :c)

We were not short on babies at this party! So many of my Lifechruch friends have welcomed new little ones into their homes, this is Addalynne Grace. It took me a minute before I realized that 3 of the babies at the shower were babies that I specifically prayed for (each couple was trying to get pregnant) and to see them all in one place at the same time.. it just made me heart happy to see God's answered prayers! What sweet little blessings :c)

Nathan and Willow holding hands :c)

Here's my photolife girls.

My friends Jennifer and Hannah

I still call her Taco, even though that was from our highschool vball days..
