One Month

Jenna is one month old today. She is changing and growing everyday! She is just about the sweetest thing ever! We love her so much and the kids just adore her!

Melanie is my biggest help ever! Cameron will hold Jenna when I ask him and he does great, but Melanie definitely has the motherly instincts. The kids let me take a nap late in the afternoon yesterday with Jenna (much needed). I didn't wake up until 6, dinner time. Before I started dinner I took the last load of clothes out of the dryer and Melanie offered to fold them while I made dinner. She is such a big help. She has folded a lot of clothes while being off track. It really is so nice for me! David made the comment last night that when Melanie holds Jenna she looks like a teenager. She just takes it in stride and is a natural with her!

This is Jenna's sad face. She still likes to be held when she is awake! She is getting a little better and hopefully in a couple of weeks will be able to be more happy and enjoyable when she is awake.
Cameron and Melanie go back on track today. They have been out of school since the 23rd of December. They are excited! I think it will be nice. Force me back in to normalcy. I won't be able to stay in bed after 8 am anymore though! I will miss my helpers while they are away.

It is so nice when the older kids can help out. She looks like your side of the family, I think

Jenna looks soo adorable! I can't believe she is already 1 month old!!! I have a gift for her and I better get it in the mail soon before she out grows it. It's been a crazy last few weeks and I'm trying to get into a normal habit again as well. That's so great that you have kids old enough to help-wow. One day :)

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
