Jorgan's Blessing

Today was a beautiful day! I guess there is always a special peace about having your baby blessed. Jorgan had such a sweet spirit about him today! This morning when I went to get him out of bed to go to church I caught him smiling in his sleep. Then he smiled at me while I changed his clothes and got him ready. I kept telling him that today was a special day and he seemed to know it.
He received a sweet blessing from our Heavenly Father and I felt the truth of His words so strongly. The thing that I remember most strongly about his blessing was that he was blessed to be patient with his sisters and that he would always be respectful to his sisters and to his mother. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I received a testimony of the tenderness of his spirit. I guess he'll grow up to be a lot like his daddy!
Ok, enough with the mushy-stuff... here's some pictures!



This is our super cute baby boy! Thanks to Grandma Patti for the sweet blessing outfit.



This is Jorgan with his Great Grandma Junia. Aren't they a beautiful pair!



Uncle Kevin, Aunt Mechel, Jacob, Jared, and Cameron all made the trek from Spanish Fork to be with us on our special day. It was so fun to have family here!



Here's Grandpa Davin, Josh , Grandpa Dwayne, and Jorgan. What a group of handsome men!



And, of course, Jorgan and Daddy. What a perfect day!

Our Easter Hunt

Jorgan is Smiling!

So for the last few weeks Jorgan has been giving me occassional smiles. The last few weeks of practice has paid off because he is now smiling at lost of things and, when he is in a good mood, lots of people. He loves faces and yesterday I even got a little giggle. He is growing up fast! Tomorrow he will be blessed by his daddy, so we want to invite everyone to be there if they can. Our meeting starts at 9am at the building behind Cimarron Memorial High School on Smoke Ranch and Buffalo. Hope to see you all there!

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Yesterday Rachel turned 2!! Yah!! Elizabeth keeps telling her, "Rachel, You're 2 now." Rachel has no idea what that means... but she'll figure it out eventually ;o)

A couple of weeks ago I took Rachel to a friend's birthday party. She sat on my lap sucking her thumb the entire time and refused to talk to anyone or play any games. So we decided that for our shy little Rachel no big birthday party was wanted. So we had Grandma, Grandpa, Jacob, Uncle Ben, Aunt Celeste, and Madelynn over. I think it was perfect. Rachel was perfectly comfortable and had a great time getting lots of love and attention.
We had been telling her that she was going to have a Birthday for several days and all she wanted to know was if there was going to be a birthday cake. ("Happy to you cake" is what she calls it) So Josh made her a big 3 level cake. She loved it and loved that we sang Happy Birthday to her. She is such a sweet little girl.
She also had to get all of her most favorite things. Uncle Ben and Aunt Celeste brought her minnie mouse. Grandma and Grandpa brought her an art desk... She loves having her own little place to sit! And Josh and I got her a little sleep and feed baby doll. So much fun for one little girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!!!

3 Weeks... We're Making It!

Three kids is quite a trip. Luckily one still sleeps a lot and the other two are just glad that daddy has been around a lot. We are all feeling good and are happy to have a new person to play with at home. Just thought that I'd update with a few photos. He's growing fast and already is looking so different to me. We've been working on the double chin and it seems to be coming along well. Pretty soon you'll no longer be able to see any neck!

We are now officially "The Scott Family Five"

This is Jorgan on Feb. 21, 2009. I guess at this point Janine is still attached.This is Jorgan about 20 secs. old. Isn't he good-looking. Janine did most excellent. She rocked it. That smile on Janine's face means, "I am soooo glad that I am not pregnant anymore!" And because she carried him for nine months, I guess she gets to hold him first, at least I got to cut the cord. In case anyone noticed, that ring on top of his head is where they attached the suction cup to him because the little stinker was face up and having a hard time getting around all those bones in mommy. I guess being a boy wasn't different enough for him, he had to come out differently than his sisters too! We still love him anyways.As always, we need to see how big this kid is. He was 7 lbs and 4 oz. He was 19 and 3/4 in long. That makes him the tallest at birth but the second heaviest. (Liz still holds that title weighing in at 7 lbs and 10 oz.)I guess being out of mommy isn't so bad after all. I can at least stretch out!It's about time I got to hold him. He was already 3 minutes old. (3 excruciating minutes mind you :) He definitely looks cool. Welcome to our family. We Love Jorgan.

A Tribute to Daddy

Well, It's been a while since I've posted anything on our blog... how boring am I? So today I decided that I would find something to write about. As I looked through the camera at pictures, what did I find? All pictures of Josh loving his girls.

I've truly been realizing over the past few weeks what a wonderful husband I have. The last month of pregnancy is hard on everyone. I've noticed the girls are acting out more and are a little more grumpy than usual. I, of course, am just plain uncomfortable and grouchy with lack of sleep. Josh is stressed out but trying his hardest to keep our spirits high. His is doing double duty and taking care of so many more things than he should have too. Yet, he never complains.

As I was looking through pictures of the last couple of weeks I found these:




I took these pictures after getting out of the shower one morning and finding daddy teaching Elizabeth how to read. She's so excited now that she is learning how to sound out words.



Josh took this picture one day when I was not home. They were just playing outside having a wonderful time together. Josh is always the one to remember to take candid photos.



I took this picture after Josh flopped himself on the couch exhausted one day. He was only there a few seconds before both girls had to be right there with him. So much for resting... too bad he enjoyed every moment of their snuggles.



Elizabeth and I left to run a few errands, and while I was gone Rachel and daddy were playing in the bath tub. I think that Rachel is trying to squeeze the bath soap into a milk carton. Josh said she had a great time jumping around and splashing in the little bit of water left from his shower.

In conclusion, I just needed to remember to be grateful for the wonderful husband that I have and the wonderful father that my girls have. He always brings the most joy and happiness into our home. How lucky we are to have him!!!
