Jayden update!!

So I thought I'd just post some funny pictures of Jayden. Some of them are from a few months ago, but I just never got around to posting them.

Every morning we wave to Chris as he drives away, and tell him bye and blow kisses. One day Jayden got this idea that he was going to work and he picked up this little bucket and said bye and walked to the door. LOL! He does it all the time..
He got this cute milk mustache after drinking some melted ice cream.
One of Jayden's favorite things to do is to go in the pantry and grab the cereal. I have since moved the cereal boxed up on the shelf, but he'll either just carry around the sack or dump the whole thing on the kitchen floor!!One day Jayden found a pen and I guess his nose itched or something.. LOL :)
He found Camilla's guitar and decided to use it as a horse!
Like father like son, what can I say? He's gonna be a genius just like his dad!
On a not so happy note. Here is Jayden's first bloody nose. I wasn't home, but Chris did excellent and took a picture!
Jayden fell off a stool on our tile floor and landed right on his forehead. Check out that goose egg!

Thank You


Camilla has been teaching Jayden to say Please and Thank you in sign language! So we've been working on it when she's not here as well. He gets the signs mixed up sometimes, but he's been doing pretty good. He likes thank you so much though, he sometimes forgets to say please! Yesterday after I gave him something I said what do you say? And he came over right next to me and reached up to my chin and tapped it and said Thank You! I guess as long as you touch someones chin it works right?

The Lights!!

So this is the bed Jennilyn has been living on for the past week. The lights are underneath, so we don't have to cover her eyes like they do at the hospital. So that is nice, but it has this little Jacket thing that Velcros on top and then there are little sleeves to put their arms in. Jennilyn doesn't like to use it as the have made it. Here are some of her favorite ways to use it...

She somehow kicked her foot through the velcro and it was just hanging out in the air

If you look closely, you can see that it's her leg that is actually in the arm hole.. LOL! She is a character!!!
And this is the lights at the hospital... That is the IV in her head.. So sad!! And everything else was just to monitor her pulse, and oxygen levels and all that stuff they monitor.. And of course the eye covers, because the lights are overhead at the hospital!!

New Arrival

Announcing her appearance a little early is our sweet little Jennilyn Hess! She was born January 3, 2009 at 3:42pm. She came in weighing 7lbs 3 oz and is 19 inches long. She does have a bit of dark hair with frosted ends as you can see. They did use the vacuum and the forceps, so she had a rough ride into life, but is doing very well. We are so excited for this sweet new addition into our family. And glad she chose to come a little early.

Wedding Bells!

A friend of ours got married a few weeks ago and we went to the reception in Tabiona! Jayden had a blast. They had these candles on the tables that were battery powered and he just kept trying to blow them out. Sadly he didn't succeed.
He also found his way underneath the gift table. We caught him on his way out!
Here's the beautiful bride, Celeste and me. We have a picture just like this from when we were in high school, although I do look slightly different!
Congrats Celeste & Ben. We are so happy for you!

Christmas Trees!

We went to go Christmas Tree hunting. There were just a few of us, but it was still lots of fun! Here is our traditional family photo, as long as we can find the tree!!
So I did decide to go out with Chris to see what we could find. We took the 4-wheeler up a bit, because I knew I wouldn't last very long walking up hill. We walked around for a bit and then Chris went to look over this hill and I didn't want to so I found a nice log and waited, and waited and waited. I don't know how long it was, maybe 10 minutes, but I decided to follow his footprints in the snow. So I did for probably 10 minutes and decided that I had the keys to the 4-wheeler and I was going back to where we came from. I didn't want to get lost in the woods being 7 months pregnant.. So on my way back I ran into Chris. He ended up down at the 4-wheeler and had to come back up to where he left me. He did decide that it wasn't the best idea to leave me in the woods and promises he won't do it again! LOL So we decided not to go back down the way we came up, which was a major mistake. It was like ice the whole way and I decided it would be better for me to sit down, but with my slick snowpants, I just took off. Luckily Chris caught me, but it was quite exciting. Good thing we didn't have Jayden with us! But we did find us a tree!! :) Camilla insisted on taking this photo! My snowpants obviously don't quite fit me the same when I'm 7 months pregnant!! Good thing my belly doesn't get too cold these days!
Jayden was so not a fan of his coat/boots/hat/mittens!! It took him a little while to warm up to the whole idea of keeping them all on.
He kept falling down! The ground was just so uneven that he couldn't get very far before he would crash again and again and again!!
Uncle Spencer was so nice to share his music. Jayden loves headphones and most of the time he gets it in the ear instead of the mouth!!
The kids all love the 4-wheelers. It's so cute!
Alesha even took Jason & Jayden for a ride on her sled. They had a blast. Thanks for entertaining them Alesha! They sure do love you!!
Mom took off to find her tree and ended up hurting her leg. Hope you feel better! And thanks for all the yummy food and taking care of all the kids while we went to hunt down our tree!
I was getting in the truck and Jayden apparently decided we were playing peek-a-boo. So he was hiding on the other side of the door waiting for me to come find him. Silly boy! But he does love that game. In fact, now he even keeps quiet and won't come out. It makes the game a little more difficult for me, but when I do find him he's just grinning from ear to ear!!
Katie Jo even came out to experience a little of her first Christmas tree hunt. She is just over a month old, and super cute with tons of dark hair!!
And here is the whole gang. Jennifer & Kire weren't able to make it down, Anne was home with sick little Ashton, and dad was at a funeral! We missed you all and hope to see you next time!!

Jayden with his wonderful photographer, Camilla! Thanks for all the pictures mel!
