Ok, so I know it's been a really long time since I've posted anything... but I don't get much computer time these days. Monday in the car I hear Elizabeth in the back seat talking to herself... not unusual. But as I listened to what she was saying, I realized that she was reciting the Faith in God Declaration that she repeats every Sunday in Primary. So today I had her recite it to the camera. I love Primary!!!

Good News!
So I think that it is just our lot in life to have really fussy babies. We love our little Jorgan, but it has been rough on everyone for him to be so fussy all the time. Not to mention the fact that he is constantly hurting!
On Monday Josh called the pediatrician and it was decided that it is finally time to medicate the baby that never stops screaming. It has been an incredible blessing. We starting him on Zantac, an acid reducer, Monday night. On Thursday morning I got up and fed Jorgan, then laid him down on the floor so I could get some breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and whispered to Josh, "Listen.... no crying!"
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have such a sweet baby. He smiles constantly now! There's more smiling than crying... I love it!

Who needs a backyard...
...when you have a blow up pool, a slide, and a patio!
It got super hot all of the sudden... as it always does... and it's been more difficult to go outside and play. I took the kids to the park Friday morning, and it was just too hot for Jorgan. The girls were ok with running around in the heat, but Jorgan just cried. I can't keep everyone inside all summer... so we ran to Target and bought a blow up pool for the patio. Now Jorgan can watch from inside with the a/c and the girls can still play outside.
Elizabeth keeps saying, "Thanks mom for my whale pool!" Rachel says, "Mommy!! Watch me!!" Jorgan sleeps peacefully in the swing!
Now... if I only had a hose, I wouldn't have to fill up the pool one pot of water at a time!

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!

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!
