(picture taken at 2 months)

2 1/2 month stats
Weight: 12 lbs 15 ozs.
Height: 23 1/2 inches
Head Circumference: 39 cm.

I couldn't figure out our scanner, so I just took a picture of the picture from JCPenney's! Jenna is our smallest baby so far. Maybe my wish of having a petite baby has come true!! HaHa!! I had Jenna's appt. scheduled later because of Jason's surgery. Then I was going to reschedule it when that got canceled but since she had a cold I thought I'd just leave it with the later date.

Jenna is getting to be a much better baby. For some reason it takes about 2 months for my kids! She is really smiling, especially in the morning when she wakes up. David is just smitten by her. He said he now knows why the youngest in the family is always spoiled! She is already wrapped around his finger!! She loves to cuddle. She likes to fall asleep with her face nuzzled into my neck and only falls asleep that way. I love it too.

Remember This?? This is what it looked like when David and my Dad made the toy box over Christmas Break.
And this is the finished toy box...finally!!
David used his finished carpentry skills and added the trim and routered a lip under the lid. Then he offered to take it to the mill and have it spray painted. Great idea, it just took 3 months!! HaHa. Obviously it wasn't the priority there with all the other work going on! Melanie kept asking Dad when it was ready. Tuesday night he forgot to bring it home and promised her he would bring it home Wednesday. Well, Wednesday was an all nighter for David. After working at Granite Mill he went to Heber to work with his partner for another company he is starting. He crawled into bed at 5:30 am. I asked him if he brought the toy box home. He said he was an hour later because he had to stop at the mill to get it. He did it all for Melanie. She would have been devastated to wake up and the toy box not at our house. So today we re-arranged her room and now the boys and girls have their own toys in their own rooms. David got 2 hours of sleep last night. Crazy guy!!

Wow. We love the toy box. And those cute girls? Precious. Tell Alyssa I want to be just like her when I grow up. She is hilarious. (Kind of reminds me of Alvin's chipmunk friend, Theodore, just the female variety).

Love,
Mom

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

Image
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 ...
