My Life – Unscripted

We will always live a busy life so feel it is not necessary to post that we had a busy month!!! Jake and I have been in full blown wedding season and have loved every second of it! Check out our blog to see some of our weddings from this past season. We are so thankful to have had my Mom and Bill help us out and watch Pierce while we went to the weddings. We have traveled to Austin, Oklahoma, Waco, and some local weddings! We are loving our “side business”

The older boys have been away at their Mom’s for the summer so we have been enjoying some one-on-one time with Pierce and have loved watching him grow. He will be 5 months old on the 4th!! Can you believe it! He has 2 big teeth on the bottom and all signs are pointing to the top teeth coming soon! Pierce rolls over and love to grab his feet. He makes lots of funny noises and loves to laugh. We have also started eating rice cereal from a spoon and have been doing great! We are gearing up for next month when we can start eating baby food.

We are going out of town next weekend to the lake house to kick back and relax before we gear back up for school. We are looking forward to spending time with some great friends and family. When we come back we have TONS of appointments before the boys start school. They are both getting their wisdom teeth pulled on the same day! YIKES!

So here are a few of my favorite pics from the month!

The new summer hair-do…

Look Mommy I can eat cereal off a spoon…

Pierce LOVES the water. He will be swimming before you know it!

Pierce had his first Texas de Brazil experience and he was ready for his meat!

Well it happened, I am officially part of the 3-o club!!! I really have taken it well though! I kept thinking it would be a big deal, but as I see all my friends turn 30 also, it doesn’t seem that bad because we are all doing it together! I think the scarier part is I am 30 with a 15, 14, and 4 month old!!!! YIKES! I am so blessed though and have accomplished many things in the last 30 years. I thought I would pick 30 of my most memorable moments from June 22, 1980 until today. (In no particular order!!!)

1. June 22, 1980 – Although I don’t remember I am glad that I was brought into this world to be able to experience these next 29 things.

2. Grapevine High School with all my favorite girls! I am so blessed to have met some great people in my life and made memories that I will NEVER forget! Thanks Alison, Carrie, Kirsten and Jennifer! Pool parties, Hard Rock Cafe, South Padre Island, belly button piercing, Sonic, Esparza’s, softball, the list could go on and on!!!!

3. Zeta Tau Alpha – made some life-long friends and great memories! Kelli and Katie thanks for the many years of friendship! River raft race, mixers, the Quad, 6th street, Voo-Doo room, Mexico, the ZTA house, the outlet mall……

4. Spain- Studying abroad for 6 weeks was amazing! I can not wait to go back to Europe with my family.

4. Graduating college – University of North Texas. This is where I met one of my best friends – Ashley! You are like the sister I never had!

5. Cancun, Mexico – Senior year and college trip!

6. Moving next door to The Jaggears – I was in the 6th grade!

7. Summers in upstate New York with my family and always spending a day in the city. Of course I always looked forward to what we were going to eat on our trip! My Mom took my brother and I every single year.

8. Summer with my Grandma and Grandpa Ferreri. I was spoiled BEYOND belief. We would go to Bingo, shopping, bowling, play cards, golfing and swimming in the senior citizen pool. My Mom would take me every year and then I would stay and extra 3-4 weeks, and hang out. Even though neither one of them are here with me today I carry them both in my hearts every single day!

9. Patches. The only animal I have ever really had. She was not only my pet but truly a part o our family. Patches lived to be 19 years old.

10. Growing up with my cousin Jeffrey and Jodi! We have had the best times together and now hope to pass that on to our children.

11. Douglas – although brothers are supposed to be annoying – and mine was the past few years he became a Dad and I became and Aunt! I have enjoyed watching him grow as a person and a father.

12. Dating Jake – I had so much fun staying up until 6 am chatting and dreaming of what our lives would be like if we were married.

13. April 25, 2006 – Getting engaged. Jake had the most amazing proposal planned for me which led me to the place we first met – outside our parents houses. I love you Jacob and am so glad you asked me to marry you!!!

14. November 10, 2006 of course our wedding! This is the day that I married my best friend and became a mother of 2!!! We were no longer a Group! Marrying the boy-next-door!

15. IVF – I will never forget how scared I was of the needles but reminded myself that it was all going to be worth it!

16. TRIPLETS – finding out I was going to be a mother of not ust twins – but triplets!

17. Bed rest for 6 weeks at Baylor Hospital – It was the hardest of times, but yet I made memories there that will never be forgotten. I made a whole addition to my family and LOVE each and every nurse and doctor that took care of me. They treated me like I was a family member, not just a patient. I had many tears and many laughs within the 43 days I laid in bed.

18. October 15, 2008 My first born son was called home. Angel A. Jaggears. I loved him before he was ever born and have not stopped loving him or thinking about him.

19. November 7, 2008 – My 2nd and 3rd son were born and called home. Angel B. and Angel C. Jaggears. I have the greatest pictures with them and am so blessed that we had a little bit of time to spend with them.

I loved getting to by them clothes, plan birthday parties, go to soccer games and cheer them on, taking care of them when they were sick, helping out with school projects, taking them to the Boo – at- the – zoo, Fellowship Church. Even thought I still am a mother to these boys and do all of the above and then some, I loved the first few years of watching them grow up and I am able to be apart of their everyday lives..

30. My 30th birthday to reflect on the past 30 years and realize how blessed I truly am. I have a wonderful husband, a loving family and 3 sons to love on each and every day. We are all healthy and have a roof over our heads. I am looking forward to seeign what the next 30 will bring our family.

Here are some pics from my 3oth birthday party. We had it at Chill in Grapevine and it was perfect. It was a great night to spend with old friends, new friends and family. I am a lucky girl and I am blessed to have it all! Thank you Ashley for making my party so perfect, and Thank you Jacob for being the wonderful husband you are.

2 of my closest friends for almost 15 years. I have so many great memories with these girls and now I can add this to the list..

My best friend and party planner….

I had to have 1 shot to ring in my 30’s…

My birthday present.. Love my Louis!!!!

Love you babe! Glad I have you to share all these wonderful memories with!

WOW! I almost forgot I had a blog. Life with a 14 year old, 13 year old, 2 month old and 2 jobs might keep anyone pretty busy. Life is good tough! I have been back to work about 6 weeks and it feel like I never left. I joined the gym and WW and have now lost 10 lbs! I still have a long ways to go, but you have to start somewhere.

Pierce is amazing and we love every second of him. He is spoiled rotten already and LOVES to be held. At his 2 month check up he weighed 14 lbs 10 oz, and next week he will be 3 months! We have been trying to get the boys together to get a new photo but the weather has not allowed us to.

We have a busy summer ahead of us, including my 30th birthday!! Where did the time go? I am looking forward to spending it with my family and friends. I will try to get back on the ball with s.

March of Dimes

Thank you to EVERYONE that participated, walked, donated and supported Team Angel Jaggears. We raised $2,065.00 and had about 25 people battle out the rain with us to walk. It was so nice to have Pierce there to walk for his 3 brothers. We are looking forward to next years walk!!!

Jacob celebrated his 35th Birthday this year! Yup that’s right!! We went to Esparza’s for dinner ant then Chill in Grapevine for some drinks! We had a drunk girl take our picture so that is why it is not so clear!

The boys got haircuts the other day, and Zach had LOTS of them cut..

So handsome, and he looks so much older…

Had to leave you with a  few pics of Pierce. He went on his first of many trips to Starbucks with Daddy. Gotta start them young!

This is what he was doing BEFORE Starbucks!!!
