Introducing, Maverick William Jay Bratton

Maverick is HERE! 

Isn't that the sweetest little face EVER?  This is our 1st grandson, Maverick.  He was born on his due date, September 20, 2012.  Our family is over the moon in love with him!  

Jalen had a C-Section delivery and everything went very smoothly!  She is feeling great and is recovering well.  

Ready to become parents!

Courtney was such a great support to Jalen

Nana and TuTu are so excited to meet Maverick!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!  Mommy and Maverick!

TuTu is going to spoil you rotten!

TuTu and Papa love you!

Jalen and Nathan's Baby Shower

Baby Shower Time!

We had such a wonderful baby shower for Jalen and Nathan last weekend.    There were about 30 guests that came to shower them with love!  We started off with drinks and appetizers at our house, then headed next door to our sweet neighbors house for lunch.  It was so sweet of her to let us use her deck for the shower.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day!

We were so blessed to have my parents fly up from Pasadena to attend the shower.  Thanks Dad and Linda for helping with the shower.  Because of you, the shower was a complete success.  

Overall, it was a beautiful day!  We had a wonderful time with friends and family.  Maverick is going to set up for quite awhile!  

Warning:  PICTURE OVERLOAD!  :-)

This was a fun activity for the guests.  It's something that Jalen and Nathan can keep them forever!

Nathan's shirts matched one of the presents!

The tables turned out so cute!  I love the centerpieces too!

Bill and I made some fabric flags for the backs of each chair.  They turned out so great!

I love this picture!  Everyone was enjoying watching Jalen and Nathan open their presents.

And on a side note....What a good husband Nathan is to shave Jalen's legs for her.  Especially since she can no longer reach them.  :-)

Our Grandbaby is growing!!

Our Grandbaby is doing great!  The baby is 18 weeks now, and is growing and growing!  We get to find out if Jalen and Nathan are having a boy or a girl next month!  They have the cutest names picked out already!  I promise to reveal the names after we find out what they're having.
