Jaycee's 2 month stats

This is mostly just so I'll have this written down some where since I didn't do it with Morgan.

11lbs. 2oz 84%
22 1/4 in 68%
34 cm (I think) 81%

Morgan was never over 50% in anything and usually like 10% in weight. I love my little chubby baby.

Morgan's 3rd birthday party

This was Morgan's first friend party. She had four other little girls come all dressed up as princess and we had a great time. They decorated hats with tulle tassels, had tulle wands, had a "juice party" with a princess tea set and cupcakes, played pin the lips on the frog, freeze dance to princess songs, blew bubbles, and played with bouncy balloons. I think a great time was had by all.





After the party was over, Morgan was not happy. She had put on her new sleeping beauty dress that a friend had given her so I tried to take a picture with her hat and wand. She was not really cooperating, as you can tell, but you get the idea.

Morgan's Pre-Birthday Party

Morgan turned 3 on Sunday. I can't believe it. Brent had 24 hour duty on her birthday of course, so we had a family party Saturday night. We just opened presents and had cake but she loved every minute. She is very into the Disney princesses and Dora the Explorer so of course she got hooked up.
She loves her Cinderella jewelry,

And her princess music pop-up book,

And of course her new princess barbies.

She also had to have a blue castle cake because blue is her new favorite color. It matches her eyes and daddy's eyes.

A little about our three year old princess:
She is very strong willed but also very sweet. She is quick to say, "Thank you for making this dinner mom," or "Thank you for saying that good prayer", or "Good driving mom!" She loves to sing but mostly just talk about anything and everything. She doesn't really eat anything consistently. I feel like I have to bribe her to eat anything except strawberries and gogurt. She hasn't napped for almost a year and usually gets up much earlier than I would like but she does way better on little sleep than I do. She is mostly a scaredy cat. She will only go down a slide after much coaxing and often only if you're holding her hand but she loves to swing. She says the wind makes her happy. She makes us very happy and we are so grateful to have her in our family, stubbornness and all. We love you Morgan, Happy Birthday!

I think it's pretty clear which one of my children take after me.

Jaycee's Baby Blessing

This past weekend, Brent's brother Dave got married in Yuba City. We took the opportunity to head up to Nor Cal and bless Jaycee with most of our family present.

Here is Judy with the girls at the wedding reception.


We did the blessing and Brent's sister's house since between our two families, they attend 6 different wards and it's hard to get everyone to the same ward. We had 62 people in attendance and only 5 weren't family. Brent said a beautiful blessing and it was so great to be able to share this with our family and have so many men stand in on the blessing.

I made Jaycee's dress. I would have had her wear Morgan's but it was too big for Jaycee since she was 4months old when we blessed her. I enjoyed making it and am happy with how it turned out. You can't see much of the detail, but there wasn't much detail so it's okay. I think she looked beautiful in it. I'm glad I did it even if it set a precedence that I will have to make all my children their own blessing outfit.
The next day Brent went hiking with his dad and nephew. They went to "our" waterfall (where he proposed,) and up the canyon a little to enjoy some nature.
I stayed a couple extra days and enjoyed spending time with my mom and sister. We shopped and took the kids to a couple different parks. A great time was had by all.


Thank you to our families for making our time in Nor Cal wonderful and memorable.
