How Should I know?

Daddy does good hair...er somethin'

May we all find comfort in the fact that at least some day she'll have a say in the matter...

Ain't she cute...

April Showers bring May Flowers

Well, Jake says my turn is overdue to add to this, and I guess I agree. Things are going well for all of us, and we're hopefully getting into somewhat of a routine with little Jentri Ann. Let's just say we've got this parenting thing down, so if ya'll are interested we'll be offering courses in Parenting 101:).

Jentri is growing fast and eating lots. People keep saying she's so tiny, but she seems big to me! She was wearing preemie and "just born" clothes until she was a month old, but she is growing I promise! She's starting to smile at us (instead of in her sleep), and her little cooing giggle is just too dang cute. Just seeing her cute smile makes the early mornings and late nights more bearable. I'm told from 8-10 weeks is where babies start sleeping through the night...does from 1am to 8am count? If so, she's done it! We'll see how tonight goes...I'll let ya know...

Life is good! Our house is coming together, and yes I finally broke down and let Jake get his 37" flatscreen HD LCD TV. I think that's the right terminology. To be honest, I was sick of hearing about it! Of course it's like feeding a stray cat, he always wants more! Not that Jake is just some guy I picked up off the street, but you get the idea :) We'll see if he likes watching TV more than eating, because we may not be doing much of that for awhile. :)

Hope all is well with all of you. Thanks for looking at this and checking in on us every once in awhile. Until next time!

Our Adventure

So for those of you who don't know, we have had a pretty eventful couple of weeks...

Three weeks ago today, with the help of several family members and Trevor with his ginormous trailer, Kate and I moved into our new house in Spanish Fork. It was a stressful day but we are lucky to have so many people that were willing to help.

That night, Carlos and Stacey invited us over for dinner so that we wouldn't have to cook for ourselves. It was some good eatin'! They recently had a baby (Natalia), and after Kate held Natalia - she got very anxious for Jentri to come (she was just two weeks away from her due date).

It was after midnight before we first laid down to go to bed in our new house when Kate tells me she thinks her water broke. I was pretty sure she was faking it because she just wanted Jentri to come, so I told her to let me know if she started having contractions - until then I was going to go to sleep. Then every five minutes she would tell me she was having a contraction.... so I got out of bed and took her to the hospital.

We got to the hospital sometime after 2:00 AM and Jentri Ann was born around 6:30 AM. Apparently Kate's pretty good at the whole giving birth thing...the nurses were all surprised at how fast it went, especially with her first kid. What I want to know is what Kate thinks is so funny!?!

Anyways...we are now mostly settled in - Jentri's almost three weeks old (20 days and 9 hours), and most of the boxes are unpacked (thanks to Jentri's wonderful grandmas and aunts). All we need now is our big screen TV!

Cousin Hayden's first reaction to Jentri...."She don't do nothin'!"

Dad's first time giving Jentri a bath. Apparently he is alot better at it than Mom, because she didn't use him as a diaper!
