Happy 3rd Birthday Aston and Clay

.







Aston is such a sweet boy and is just happy with anything, that sometimes he doesn't seem to get a lot of attention because he doesn't demand it. We decided that Aston needed to have a birthday party with friends and games and food and fun for the first time. He had a ball. His friend Clay just happens to have a birthday just days apart from Aston, so we combined and had a party for two birthday boys. It was such a fun day. Happy Birthday buddy!

Jaidyn's favorite thing to do

Jaidyn has always loved to look at books, but what better thing to do is there than read them to a doll that is the same size as you? Who needs friends?

One of my favorite things about babies

I find it so adorable when babies fall asleep where ever they are if they're tired. It's also very convenient. All you have to do is move them to their crib. But how cute is he???

Roan

He is so cute, I thought I'd show off his photo shoot.

About our family: We have been blessed to have 3 adorable kids. Jaidyn is our oldest and she will be 5 in November. She is full of energy and life. She always seems to be smiling (except when she's not) and keeps me on my toes. Aston is three and he is all boy (except that he likes to dress up in his sisters dress up clothes). He is easy going and usually just does his own thing. He jumps, climbs, and falls often. Roan is 9 months now (newborn in the picture). He is so sweet. He definitely has his own opinions already. But mostly, he just loves to sit and watch his brother and sister and sometimes he tries to join in. We moved back from San Diego last year to our hometown of Mesa. We miss San Diego (especially our friends), but it's been a good change for our family. We also love our friends here. As for me, I'm just enjoying not being pregnant!!

Christmas morning

Christmas is more exciting to me now than it ever was. It is so fun to watch the kids light up when they get their gifts. It is such a simple and pure happiness. If only life stayed that simple :)

Christmas Eve '07

Christmas jammys

All of the cousins in their Christmas jammies

We brought Roan home

He is such a beautiful baby. We got to bring him home just in time for Christmas. What more could we ask for for Christmas?

To top it off

Both of the kids decided to cut their own hair within a couple of days of each other and in perfect timing, with having a new baby.

Roan Daniel Jorgensen is born

This sweet baby came into our lives at such a special time in our lives, and I know that he was a very special blessing to our family. He brought a love and hope and faith into our home like nothing else could have. He has such a tiny body, but I know he has a giant spirit in him. He has reminded us of what life is all about. I am so grateful for him.

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch

I am really having fun with catching up my blog, but lets be honest, this is the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes and while it may not be pretty or something to brag about, it is quite comical. Oh, and don't mind the mound of laundry in the background.
