4 months

I can't believe how fast time goes, I feel like yesterday I had Jayden. She is getting so big now. She talks all the time is starting to roll over. It is so fun to see her do new things!
She loves her little play mat, I find her sucking on the side thing all the time.
She was trying to get that binki so hard, it was cute.
Matt was giving her zerberts. ( i don't know if everyone calls them that or just Matt!)
She was so cute in this little hat

I am so lucky to be able to stay home with her. She is so cute and so much fun!

I love her!

She is so freaking cute!, She always has her hands like that, so proper already!
I love her little boots, thanks Mandi they are pretty much the best. She is so in style!
Her hands, Love it!
Jayden loves TV, it is quite nice, if she is fussy I can usually prop her in front of the TV and she will watch it for a while. She loves to watch it with daddy too.


What are these?

Jayden has started to discover her hands. She usually sticks her fist up in the air and then will bring it to her mouth and put pretty much her whole fist in her mouth. It is really funny.
She is starting to grab things, and put everything she can into her mouth. She still hasn't quite gotten the hang of it but she is trying so hard.



I miss Arizona!!

It snowed for 2 days straight and there is probably more then a foot of snow on the ground.
I HATE IT! Not to mention that not having a car and being stuck inside SUCKS! We disconnected the cable so I now either have the choice of local channels blah or nothing. I guess I better pull out my housewife skills to keep me busy! Stupid cable charging to much to watch crap on TV!
I am so glad that my taxes go to pay people to plow the roads in the winter time and they some how miss my street. Thank you Utah!
Another thing that I love is some idiot parks their car right at the end of the side walk (he didn't park there this time) so to get anywhere on that side of the apt you either have to walk under the tree, fun! or you have to walk through the foot of snow. I am really tempted to have his car towed next time, or egg it I haven't decided.

Happy New Year

As most people my new years goal is to loose weight and get back into my pre-pregnancy clothes. We have started eating healthier but I have one weakness and that is sweets. I love them and it is really hard to give those up, so instead I am making my sweets more healthy. My latest discovery is black bean brownies. They sound like they are going to be gross, but they are so good...here is the recipe for those that want to venture.

Black Bean Brownies

1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
1 cup canned or home-cooked black beans
4 eggs
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Drain black beans, reserving 2 TBS liquid. Puree beans and bean liquid in blender until a thick paste is formed.
mix cocoa, butter, sugar, black beans puree and eggs together in a bowl until well blended.
mix flour, salt, and baking powder together in a small bowl and stir into wet mixture. Grease 9x13-inch pan, pour batter into pan.
Bake 40 min at 350 degrees or until brownies test done with a toothpick.

If your not weirded out by the idea of beans in your Brownies You should try this. they are seriously so good!

Christmas in Arizona

Jayden was so good for the car ride, she pretty much slept the whole time! It was great!
Ha Ha oh man, some of you know that my grandma gives some very interesting presents, this is one of the things I got this year, a sleeper for adults. And yes those are booties that go with it. SICK that is all I can say!
Christmas morning I put Jade in this Santa outfit, it was so cute. I was going to get a picture with Santa and her wearing this but the pictures at the mall were $15.00 for one 4-6 picture. Obviously I didn't get one. There are also little tights that have shoes on them. It is so cute
Ann and the triplets, my mom made that shirt for her. I love it!
Masons is so cute, but a terror it must be the age.
Jade went for a shoulder ride. She also drooled all over Matt's head. It was soaking, pretty funny!
She loves when I play the piano, when she is fussy I go to my keyboard and play and she calms down. I have also taught her how to play a little:)
We took the boys to a train park in Scottsdale. Jade and I watched the boys on the Merry-go-round.
Then we rode the train! It goes around this little track and they have bison and little things set up that you can look at. It is cute!

She loves the train!


I love bows!

The boys loved Jayden, Parker was so cute with her. He held her hand and kissed her and put her Binky in when she was crying, it was so cute!


Mason loved her to, he hasn't quite figured out the male and female thing so he always called her a he, it was funny.

More Pictures

Can I first say that I am sorry that it has taken me so long to update this. I was in Arizona for three weeks helping my sister who is pregnant with triplets. Plus it doesn't help that the Internet at my apt sucks.

These pictures are from when she was 11 weeks old. She is just so precious, I love her to pieces!



She definitely has Matt's nose
