I love my sister!

We've been at home for almost two weeks now and Jamie is still doing great with Jordan. The first thing he does when he wakes up is come into our room to see her and in the evening before bed we all cuddle up in our bed for awhile. Jamie has to make sure he's next to her. He's very gentle and careful around her.

Jeremy has done a wonderful job of taking care of Jamie and housework the past few weeks. I don't know what I'm going to do when he has to go back to work! He's a great Mr. Mom! I must admit I knew it would be a lot of work having an almost 2 1/2 yr. old and a newborn but I didn't fully realize how much until she came. So to all of you mama's out there who have two or more children...bless you! ;) I'm sure once she sleeps more through the night I'll get more of a handle on things around the house....maybe. I did love Jeremy's comment the other day....he said staying at home all day all he feels like all he does is dishes and keeping the kitchen clean. (I know you mom's can appreciate that!)

Giving love to his sister.

Proud big brother!

When I am feeding Jordan he likes to put his hand on her head....so cute!

Jamie's new "big brother" toy. We gave this to him the same day we brought Jordan home.

He has a stool he brings over to her bassinett to check on her. He also brings the stool to her room when I'm changing her to check things out and help.

Jamie meet Jordan!

I'm trying to catch up the blog in between feedings and naps! :) Here are a few pictures of when we brought Jordan home. We didn't have Jamie meet her until we came home from the hospital. As soon as we got out of the car and he saw that I was carrying the carseat he came running outside saying, "baby Jordan (he pronounces her name as Jordy)." He was very excited and wanted to get a closer look at her. Once we set her down on the floor he ran and got his favorite matchbox toys and started showing them to her. It was so cute! I actually thought he would look at her and then go about his daily business but he's very into her. He likes to make sure she's okay and likes helping me out. He's going to be a great big brother!


Introducing Jamie to Jordan.

Getting his toys to show her.

Welcome to the World.....Baby Jordan

Last Sunday, Oct. 11th, we were able to finally meet our baby girl, Jordan! I was induced Sunday at around 11:30am and ended up having her that evening at 7:18pm. She was 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and 18 inches long. She has a lot of dark hair and you can definitely tell Jamie and her are sister and brother. Jeremy and I are absolutely thrilled to have her home and are so thankful to have two healthy and happy children!

Here she is.........


Getting dressed after her bath.

A little hard to see but she's in my arms.....two VERY proud parents!

Pumpkin Patch

Tonight we took our annual trip to Schneph Farms to visit the pumpkin patch and ride the train. I didn't know if I would last long since I'm 39 1/2 weeks pregnant but I did pretty good! I was hoping all of the walking would lead to labor but so far it hasn't. :( Jamie really enjoyed the large stacks of hay they had....he just wanted to keep climbing up and down them. He also liked going on the "spooky" train, eating kennel corn, and riding the tricycle around the track. We had a great evening!

He loved climbing up and down the hay stacks.


Jeremy was singing the Rocky Tune as he made his way to the top of the stack!

Daddy pushing Jamie around the trike track.

My cutie pie....he sure looks like a big boy in this picture!

*Pregnancy Update: She's still hanging out so if I don't have her by this Sunday they will induce me. We have an appt. at the hospital set for this Sunday afternoon but I'm still hanging on hope that I'll go into labor before then! We'll see.......

Two Peas in a Pod

Last night this is what I walked into.......

Father and son reading Golf Digest Magazine! :)

*Pregnancy Update: I'm at 37 weeks and 2 cm. dilated and she's head down at -1 so she's ready! Due to some minor health problems on my part if I don't have her by 39 weeks they will go ahead and induce me. I had to be induced with Jamie as well but I'm really hoping to go into labor on my own this time so we'll see. We'll keep everyone updated if anything should change but either way it looks like the first week of Oct. we'll have a new addition to our family!

I love my sister's hat!

We are still waiting for Jordan's arrival but Jamie is already very familiar with her room and clothes. He likes going into her room and taking out all of her clothes in her dresser and then putting them back in. Yesterday he found this hat and insisted on wearing it for much of the afternoon and evening. What a silly little boy!

Jamie explaining to his daddy why he's wearing a white and pink flowered hat.


I took this picture when he wasn't looking. He's reading a brochure about trains and trucks...such boy things while wearing his pretty little hat!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

This past weekend was the start of college football and next weekend is the start of the NFL season......Jeremy's favorite time of the year! Even though we have lived in AZ for six years now we still are loyal Huskies and Seahawks fans! Last week, Uncle Jason, sent a package for Jamie and inside was a new Huskies Jersey for the season! Jason has season tickets to the Huskies and hopefully when Jamie and Jordan are older they'll be able to go to a few games with him. Jamie enjoyed watching the Huskies game on Saturday but kept calling the football a soccer ball so we'll have to work on that with him! ;) Anyway, for the next several weekends this is what Jamie will wear on Saturday's.....GO HUSKIES!


Pre-game warm ups....playing catch with Daddy.


Nice grip!

He's all ready for the game!
