You never know what you'll see with a toddler around









Okay so sunday night at our house I find Emma and see this! She has taken a balloon left over from daddy's bday party Friday and stuck it under her shirt. I ask her what she is doing and she grins that sweet little girl grin and says "I got a baby in my belly" And keeps rubbing the sides and patting it. I asked her what it is and she says " I got a brudder in my belly" I had to take a picture. Chad says "the things you see in arkansas---meaning pregnant toddler" (and notice she is barefoot) What little girl doesn't dream of this some day or at least stick something under her shirt and say it. I just didn't figure on my 3 year old doing it. And she is dreaming of a brother or sister not baby of her own. And oh yes, I get the hint!! I am just waiting for daddy to catch on to the idea more so! Who knows maybe not too much longer and she can say she is getting a "brudder or sisser". Well I just had to share!

Just Getting Started

Well I decided to try to start a family blog. I had a blog I just started for me but I want to do one for family and friends. So we will start with a little background on "The Jarrett Family".
I am Jennifer and I grew up in Bay, Arkansas. I met Chad in 1999 and we married in 2002. We had our daughter Emma Alene Jarrett Sept. 15, 2005.
Chad and I both attended ASU, here in Jonesboro. I went back and got my master's in nursing, graduating in 2007. I work as an APN at NEA Clinic in the Cardiology department. And Chad works for an oil company.
I love my daughter more than anything in the world. She is my world and my pride and joy. I love to try to do special things with her. I love to do crafts that are centered around her, I guess that is where she gets it she loves art/craft projects too. I mainly scrapbooking, decorations for her room and small sewing projects. I love crafts and hope to work more time in my life for that.
We attend Valley View Church of Christ. I love it there, we have a large membership but you still get that small church feeling in the classes and through other church activities. We have a great youth group it seems and we are constantly having events for the little ones and the teens too. The love of God is so great at this church I feel blessed to be a member there and every time I go it makes me want to be a better/stronger christian.
Well I am not sure what all I will put on here but I guess this is a start. Feel free to leave me comments, questions, whatever. More to come!
