The Norman Family

Ugly Sweater Party

2009-12-13T16:06:00.002-07:00

My family had our annual Christmas party on Saturday night and this year it was an ugly sweater contest. It was hilarious!!! I can't believe how many UGLY things people were able to find. Bless the DI!! We had a judge come in and we all had to parade in front of them and then they decided who won. My cousing Megan won cash and I can't remember what her category was but her vest had Ragedy Ann and Andy on it-it was hideous!! Her friend Jess won best accessories-she had a huge tule bow in her hair and nasty socks. My cousin Josh won-I don't remember his category either- but he bought a maternity sweater at the DI in Preston. It had hearts and fringe!! It was really bad!!! Trevor won best overall (I think?) and his was a hot pink turtle neck with a handmade vest. They were women's. He won a nights stay at the Hampton Inn. It was so fun. The pics just don't do us justice!! I think we need to do it every year!!

I love cookies!!!

2009-12-07T22:22:00.002-07:00

On Sunday Kevin's cousins brought us a plate of homemade goodies. (I look forward to it every year!!) It had all kinds of yummy homemade candy on it and of course Jorie saw it and was dying to have some. So of all things on the plate Kevin gave her an Oreo cookie dipped in red chocolate. She absolutely loved it and was being so funny while she was eating it. She would take a bite and then show us what was in her mouth and then she would just get a huge cheesy grin on her face. It was hilarious. Then she would try to share it with Kevin. We have been working on sharing, maybe it's working! Funny girl!!

Kevin's Mountain Lion

2009-12-07T22:15:00.002-07:00

Oh how I love being married to a mighty hunter!! Kevin got a Mountain Lion again this year. It's a pretty good one.....I think. I don't know that much about it but it looks big to me. It looked like it had been fighting, it some pretty big scars on it's head. He was quite excited. I don't love when it's laying on the garage floor and I have to go out to feed the dogs. I don't like it looking at me, I keep waiting for it to get me!! :) They are huge!! Very pretty too!! Good job Kev, now will you stay home with me? Hahaha!!

Cute Cousin Coop

2009-12-05T13:06:00.002-07:00

Isn't he too cute? He is hilarious. Last sunday night at my mom's he wouldn't eat any dinner because he kept telling us that everything was HOT but wouldn't you know that he could lick the frosting off the spatula? Funny how that wasn't too hot!! He loved to play in the cupboard under my mom's stairs. It was pitch black in there and he just wanted to go sit in there. I was teasing Trevor and Megan that they must lock him in a closet at home and that's why he's so comfortable in one. Kevin fell asleep on the couch and Coop walked over and hit him and yelled "Hey!" and laughed and ran off when Kevin jumped! Too funny. We love him!!!

Last Sunday

2009-12-05T12:57:00.002-07:00

Last Sunday was my mom's birthday so we went over to her house for dinner and to put her Christmas decorations. Jorie and Cooper are so funny to watch. He is a ton bigger than her and they tell eachother "No" a lot. Kelli gave them both the books from Hallmark that you record yourself reading the story. It's "The night before Christmas." Jorie LOVES hers. She opens it and walks around while Kelli reads the story. When the page is done she changes it to the next one and walks around some more. She loves Kelli!!! Don't the boys look like they are having fun? They are all a big bunch of party poopers!!!! Happy Birthday Mom!!! You're the best!!! We love you!!

New favorite book

2009-12-05T12:52:00.002-07:00

So Jorie LOVES to read. She will go sit in the corner where her books are and she will read for a long time all by herself. It's really nice!! :) Well I had to run to family dollar the other day and they gave me a toy add. Jorie absolutely LOVES it. She looks at it seriously about 10 times a day. Dora is in there 3 times and she knows exactly where she is. She gets so excited. I don't know why I even bother buying things. Her favorite toys are laundry baskets and adds!! Too funny!

Dora with Dad

2009-12-05T12:47:00.001-07:00

Jorie's favorite thing right now is anything that has Dora the Explorer on it. She gets so excited when she sees her. I have recorded a few episodes so she can watch them and the other night Kevin was nice enough to watch it with her. Don't they look so comfy? It's really funny when he starts singing along with all the songs. He knows them all!! That's a dedicated dad!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

2009-11-02T17:19:00.002-07:00

We had such a great Halloween!! Mindi and I decided to take the kids to the mall for some trick-or-treating. It was packed with kids!! The kids were so good and I think they had fun. I think Mindi and I enjoyed it more but oh well! We saw Trevor and Megan and Cooper there and Kelli was working so it was so fun for us all to be together for a minute. Cooper was duck and he looked so dang cute!! Jorie was a "Pumpkin Fairy" and Hunter was a lizard/dragon. They were all so cute! Then Mindi and I took the kids to lunch and then it was nap time so we headed home. After nap time Jorie and I headed up to trunk-or-treat to see everyone. It was so much fun. Jorie made the haul, lucky for me she's young enough she doesn't mind sharing!! Then we went to Mike and Susan's for some yummy dinner and then we came home and went to bed. Jorie was exhausted!! It was such a fun day!! I love Halloween and I can't wait for next year!!!!

It's finally growing!!

2009-11-02T17:14:00.002-07:00

I'm so excited that Jorie's hair is finally growing so we can play with it!! It's so fun to try new things and I'm so glad that she cooperates....most of the time!! This makes her look so old, I'm not sure if I like that part!!

Buckle me up!!

2009-11-02T17:08:00.002-07:00

On Wednesdays when I have Hunter, Jess just sets his carseat in my entry way before he leaves. The other day Jorie and Hunter were in there and they were being really quiet which isn't always a good sign. I went in there to check on them and Jorie was sitting in the carseat and Hunter was trying to get her buckled in. It was so funny. Hunter loves to do up buckles so it was pretty cute. They play so well together. They are so fun to watch.

Do they go here?

2009-11-02T17:03:00.001-07:00

My mom gave Jorie these cute glow-in-the-dark jammies for Halloween and some cute Dora undies. She absolutely LOVES anything with Dora on it. We opened the package and she knew right where the undies were supposed to go. She put them on over her pants and then where did she put the other pair? Oh yes, on her head because that's where they go right? Oh boy! And I was hoping potty training (someday:)) would be easy!! Hahaha! She really wore them like that for about an hour and would get so mad when I would try to take them off. Too funny!

Giddy-Up!

2009-11-02T17:01:00.001-07:00

Jorie got this barn for her birthday and I'm not sure why but she really likes to ride it. It's so funny! She sits on it and bounces up and down. That silo in the butt can't feel too good!!!

I really do fix her hair!!

2009-11-02T16:56:00.001-07:00

So I got looking thru the other pics on here and Jorie looks like an orphan in most of them!!! So here is a little proof that I really do attempt to fix her hair every now and then!!! :)

Yellowstone 2009

2009-10-03T12:01:00.002-06:00

We went on our annual Yellowstone trip last weekend. It was quite an interesting trip this time! First of all we decided that we shouldn't take two 1 year olds in the car for that long. They didn't have too much fun!! Really they were pretty good but it was a tone of work for Mindi and I!! We decided that next year they might have to stay home with grandmas!!! The weather was awesome and the fall leaves were georgeous! When we got there we found out the west entrace was closed and we were staying in West Yellowstone on Sat. night so we had to detour down by Old Faithful. That is quite a detour! Then we also found out there was a big fire there too so they were closing another main road off and on. We got in but we weren't sure if we were going to be able to get out!! Not good with the babies!! If we would have got stuck in, the only way to West would have been to go to Bozeman, a 6 hour detour!!! Mindi and I were very nervous about that, but not the boys, they didn't care!! Of course they didn't, they were in the front without the screaming children!!!! Luckily after driving around all day we were able to get to West. What a circus!!! All in all it was a great time. I'm already looking forward to next year!!!! Maybe kid free? We'll see. The fire was so cool to see!!! That was probably the coolest thing we saw!!!! Thanks Gibbs family for another great trip!! It's a great tradition!!

Two tornadoes

2009-10-03T11:57:00.002-06:00

Mindi and I have been lucky to be able to switch babysitting days.
The other day when Hunter came over I locked all three of us in Jories room to play and I took this picture about ten minutes later. I can't believe how big of a mess two 1 year olds can make! Luckily they play really well together.... most of the time anyway!

Funny girl!!

2009-10-03T11:46:00.001-06:00

So Jorie got this crown for her birthday and she CONSTANTLY wears it as a necklace. She puts it on right when she wakes up and wears it all day!! The pics aren't great but since she is always on the go they are the best I could do. Oh ya, do you like the camo hat with the princess crown? Nice!!

Our harvest!

2009-10-03T11:37:00.001-06:00

A couple Sunday's ago we rode down to the corn maze and got to walk thru for a little while. It was pretty fun, Kevin says that was him going and not to ask for him to go again!! We'll see!! Then we came home and picked our pumkins. We had quite the pumpkin patch. We got over 20 pumpkins!!! Jorie was having a blast playing in the dirt! She seriously has the craziest hair!!! I don't quite know what to do with it!!

Peach Days

2009-09-20T15:52:00.002-06:00

Last weekend Kevin went to Southern Utah to go hunting so Jorie and I went to Peach Days. They have an awesome parade. Jorie LOVES parades as you can see from the huge smile. We went with some friends from work and we had a blast!! My friends husband took us to the firestation and the kids got to sit in the fire trucks and honk the horns. They loved it. It was such a fun day. Thanks all for the good times!!!

The not so new do.

2009-09-20T15:48:00.001-06:00

A couple of weeks ago I cut about 14 inches off of my hair. These pics aren't great but you get the idea. I LOVE it. It's so much easier to fix!!

Catching up

2009-09-03T11:34:00.002-06:00

Ok since I haven't updated since May I figured it was about time!! We have had a very busy summer. Since Kevin got home from taxidermy school he has been to three different scout camps and now that hunting season is upon us I'm not sure when Jorie and I will see him again!! He has been working very hard on our garden and we have had a TON of yummy veggies. Kevin found out in August that he had skin cancer on his head. He had a little surgery to remove it and it looks good. He has to be really careful in the sun and stay covered up from now on. He better or I might just have to kick his butt!!!
Jorie is crawling all over and has started to walk a little. She is finally sleeping thru the night and says a few words. She says dog, dad, deer, that, and this. I'm pretty sure she told me no yesterday and I'm not too excited about that one!!! She is hilarious and she always keeps us laughing and on our toes!! She's such a blessing in our life. I have no idea what I did with all of my time before we had her!! The other day she emptied the qtips, unrolled a roll of toilet paper, emptied my purse and wallet and threw her lunch on the floor all in about two hours time. When I took her for her year old appt. the doctor was watching her and said, "Well she's quite busy isn't she?" I wanted to say, "Ya think?" I just love her so much!!!
I haven't been up to much. Just working and trying to keep everything moving along. For my birthday Kevin took me to Jackson for the weekend. It was much needed and he knew that!! It was nice to get away for a day. I am so blessed and I love all of our family and friends. Thank you all so much for everything you do for us. Without you we wouldn't be able to do anything!!!

Mama Mia Party

2009-09-03T11:28:00.000-06:00

A couple of weeks ago Susan had a Mama Mia party. She made the girls costumes and there was a stage and pinatas and all kinds of fun stuff. It was a blast!! Everyone had so much fun and they all decided it needed to be a yearly event. Thanks Susan!! It was so much fun!!

Happy Birthday Jorie!!!

2009-09-03T11:17:00.002-06:00

I can't believe my baby's 1! Where does the time go? I really was a little sad! On Jories birthday we got up and grandma and I went to get her ears pierced. I was so proud of her she hardly even cried!! I think Kevin was more upset than she was. He wasn't with us and he wasn't too happy we were doing it but every little girl needs "pretties" in her ears!!! He was ok once he saw how cute they look. Then we went and got some ice cream with aunt Kelli. After Jorie had a much needed nap it was time for her party. Except she was getting a tooth and had a total meltdown right as people were starting to show up. Thank goodness Mindi had some teething gel!!! That did the trick and then she was good to go!! We had some burgers and then she opened gifts. Of course she was very spoiled and Aunt Sandra brought her a crown and a wand because every princess needs one according to her. Jorie loved them and loved playing with all of the other gifts she got. When it was time for her cake the wind started blowing so we came in the house. She doesn't really like things on her hands so she wasn't too sure about the cake. It took her a minute but she got the hang of it....kinda. She kept sticking her foot in the cake and then she would eat it off her foot. She's such a goof ball!!! We love her so much and she keeps us laughing!!! Happy Bday Jorie!!!

Fun at Bear Lake

2009-09-03T11:10:00.002-06:00

Around the 24th of July my family met at Bear Lake. My family from Wyoming and my grandparents from St. George and my dad all met for some fun at the lake. It was freezing when we got there and it rained a little and the wind was blowing but we got some waverunners anyway. We had so much fun. I love it over there!!! Jorie and Cooper were having a great time with my grandpa. It might have had something to do with the bag of cheetos and all the red vine licorice that he fed them!!! We had such a great time, even though I did get my butt kicked by the waverunners. I had no idea my cousins were such bad drivers!!!!!

Animal Lover!!!!

2009-09-03T11:02:00.002-06:00

One weekend in July Kevin was at scout camp so my mom and I decided to take Jorie to the park. First we went and walked around the sidewalk sales in Logan and then we got us a picnic and went to Willow Park. Jorie absolutely loved it!! While we ate she watched the kids on the playground and when we walked around she just looked and pointed at all the animals. She loves all animals. She loves the dogs and when we went to the fair she kept calling everything dogs. Cows, pigs, chickens, goats are all dogs according to her. She's too funny!!! By the time we were done she was absolutely exhausted!! We had a great day!!

4th of July

2009-09-03T10:54:00.002-06:00

Every year on the 4th of July we go to my aunts house and watch the parade and have lunch. It's my favorite holiday!!!! We also go watch the logan fireworks. I wasn't sure how Jorie would do but she loved them. She also loved the parade but as you can see the highlight of her holiday was the glowing jewlery!!! On the 4th we decided to head over to Brigham to watch their fireworks. The girls from work saved us a spot and us and the Gibbs family headed over. It was so fun. They have a great firework show! We had a great weekend!!!

Memorial Day

2009-05-27T08:51:00.002-06:00

Jorie looked so cute on Memorial Day. It was kind of hard to get a good picture though. The dogs kept distracting her. We had such a great day. We went to the Paradise town breakfast with Mike and Susan and then we went to the cemetery with my family and then to my aunts house for lunch. We had chicken and ribs and all kinds of other good things. The best part was when Kevin suprised us and came home early. One of our neighbors has a truck kind of like Kevins and when he drove by last week for a second I thought "Oh maybe Kevins home early to surprise us!" The mind plays cruel tricks!!! I was so sad even though I did that to myself. I was telling Kevin about it and he said, "Jen, when I come home I will be pulling the trailer." On Monday he called at 5:30 just like he always does and said that he had just got out of school and that he was going to the hotel to have a nap. About 20 minutes later I saw a truck and trailer drive by and all of the sudden my dogs quit barking. (That's unusual!) I didn't really think anything of it and then I thought.....Maybe......and sure enough he was in the driveway! I was so happy and Jorie was so excited to see her dad. We are so happy that he is home! I will post some pics of the animals that he did. They look great!!!

Bad hair days in Mesquite!!!

2009-05-27T08:47:00.001-06:00

Oh boy. We had some pretty bad hair on our trip. Kendra decided to take a trip back to 1987 while we played games and Wendi made Jorie look like a Who!!! Too funny!!

Mesquite

2009-05-27T08:42:00.000-06:00

Jorie and I went to Mesquite for Mother's Day with all the girls from work. We just played in the pool, played games, ate tons of food and had a great time. We go every year. Jorie was good to take other than she only wanted to sleep for about 4 hours each night. That's just not quite enough for me!!!! We had so much fun. Can't wait to go again next year!!!

Total Slacker!!!!

2009-05-27T08:39:00.001-06:00

Ok, so I'm a total slacker and I haven't updated for quite sometime!!! Things have been pretty boring. Jorie and I have just been patiently (ha ha) waiting for Kevin to come home from Montana. He surprised on Monday and came home early. We are so happy that he is finally home. We missed him so much!!

Happy Easter!!!

2009-04-14T16:57:00.002-06:00

Well Jorie was kindof naughty on Easter. We ended up leaving church early because she was just unbearable!! Then she fell asleep hunched over on her blanket. She was much happier after a little nap. She looked so cute in her Easter dress that Kevin's mom bought for her. After church we went over to Kevin's parents house for lunch and our Easter Egg Hunt. It was so fun!! We all got prizes. We got very spoiled!!! And of course, Jorie got spoiled the most. Then we went home and Jorie had another much needed nap. Then we went outside to help Kevin prune some trees. Then my mom came over and brought Jorie some cute jammies. She is so spoiled!!!! It was a great first Easter.

Our First Paradise Town Easter Egg Hunt!!!

2009-04-14T16:51:00.002-06:00

On Saturday we took Jorie to her first annual Paradise Town Easter Egg Hunt. She is still too little to care a whole lot but it was still fun to take her and help her get some eggs. It's never too early to start the tradition!!!

Baby Animal Days!!

2009-04-14T16:42:00.002-06:00

I had work off these last few days because of Spring Break so we have stayed really busy with some fun activities. On Friday we went to Baby Animal Days at American West Heritage Center. It is always so much fun. It was way better this year because I got to take my own baby!! Jorie was so happy when we got there. It was Mindi, Hunter, my Mom and Jorie and I. We got to see lots of fun things and Jorie really seemed to be having a great time. That is, until she got to pet a baby cow. We couldn't go in with the cows so the man working there took Jorie so she could pet one. She was great until she touched it and then she started screaming. It was VERY loud!! I got her calmed down but everytime she would look over at the cows she would yell at them. It was pretty funny. She was so exhaused by the time we got home!!! We such a great time. I can't wait to go again next year!!

Dad's dream come true!!

2009-04-14T16:36:00.002-06:00

Kevin is a really good snuggler and Jorie really isn't anymore. He always wants her to fall asleep on his chest but she just won't. She hasn't ever since she was born. The other night it got really quiet so I went to check out the situation. This is what I saw. Kevin was so excited!! They looked so comfortable. It was nice for all of us. They got to snuggle and I got to have a nice, hot, bubble bath. It was a win-win situation!!!

Great friends!!!

2009-04-09T20:59:00.001-06:00

Jorie has got to play so much this week!!! We had Cooper all day on Tuesday and then Hunter came over for a little while on Wednesday. It's nice when someone else comes over for a while because Jorie is so entertained!! She loves to watch other kids play. I think she gets a little frustrated that everyone else can move around and she can't quite crawl yet but she's getting the hang of it.

First 4 wheeler ride

2009-04-09T20:50:00.002-06:00

On Sunday we took Jorie for her first 4 wheeler ride. We got her all bundled up and put her in the backpack. Jorie loved it so much. She just smiled and kicked her legs the whole time. We only went to Kevin's mom and dads house so it wasn't a very long ride. Kevin thinks that Jorie can go hunting with him now because she likes the 4 wheeler. I'm not so sure about that but we'll see!!!! I can't wait until the summer so we can go on a little longer rides and it will be a little warmer.

Finally!!!

2009-04-08T14:49:00.002-06:00

For Christmas I got Jorie one of these ball poppers from Kohls. When we opened it, it didn't work and they couldn't get me one from another store because they were all out too. So we just got our money back and called it good. Then on Friday night we ran into Smiths for a minute and saw that they had one on sale so we just couldn't pass it up. I'm so glad we finally got one. Jorie loves it. She tries to get the balls out and bounces when the music plays. She's just so entertained by it all. The day after we got it I put her on the floor to play with it and what do you know, she just wanted to play with the cardboard box that it came in. Figures huh?

Giddy-up!!

2009-04-08T14:45:00.001-06:00

Kevin bought Jorie an early Easter present. Her very own pink rocking horse. She absolutely LOVES it!! It sings and makes noised when you push it's ears and when it sings she gets rocking and bouncing so much that she about bucks herself off. She just might have a career in rodeo!!!! That would make Grandpa so happy!!!

Yea Jazz!!!

2009-04-08T14:39:00.002-06:00

A couple of weeks ago Nick gave us tickets to the Jazz game. We have taken Jorie to lots of Aggie games and she liked them but not nearly as much as the Jazz game. She clapped and yelled thru the whole game!! The clapping picture is fuzzy and she was trying to grab the camera in the other one but you get the idea. She was so funny. It made Kevin so happy that she liked to watch the game, now maybe he will have someone to watch sports with.

Nice legs!!!!

2009-03-23T18:28:00.002-06:00

On thursday we went down to Salt Lake to my cousins wedding and we got to see most of my dad's family that we don't get to see very often. Jorie just loved my grandpa which is funny because sometimes she kinda weird with men. He was so happy!!! What a good great-grandpa!!! These boots are the funnies things I have ever seen. They are baby rain boots that Teri bought for Jorie while we were in Washington. Her legs are so chubby in them. When I tried them on her I couldn't stop laughing, I'm mean, I know!!!!

Biscuit

2009-03-23T18:23:00.001-06:00

Ellie and Andie have this interactive dog named biscuit. It's the funniest thing. It does what you tell it to do, sit, stay, etc. Well, it's supposed to but biscuit was a little low on batteries so he wasn't minding too well. Everytime Jorie would yell at him, he would bark at her. Then she would chew on his bone and try to feed him her binkie. I hope she doesn't do that to our dogs!!!!!! It was pretty entertaining!!!

We love cousins!!!!

2009-03-23T18:16:00.002-06:00

We had so much fun in Washington. Jorie absolutely loved playing with girls and they loved to play with her. They were such good helpers!!!! Ma (Susan) bought the girls the matching spring dresses and they looked so cute!!! Thanks Chris and Teri for everything!!!

Boise

2009-03-23T18:09:00.002-06:00

Well we went to Washington last week to see Kevin's sister and on our way there we stayed in Boise with Clint and Ainslee and Carlee. We had so much fun with them. Thanks again guys!!!!! Jorie and Carlee got to have their first "slumber party." It was all fun until Jorie grabbed Carlee's face and made her cry. Then after that they decided they were friends again. They are just so cute!!!!

So close...yet so far!!!

2009-03-23T18:04:00.002-06:00

Jorie is getting so close to crawling!!!! I just can't believe how big she keeps getting. She just keeps getting more and more fun!! She can get to her hands and knees and rock a little but she can't go forward yet. Sometimes she can go backwards but only a little before she falls down. She loves to try though!!!! I don't think it will be long!!

Maybe now I can have my husband back!!!

2009-03-11T08:26:00.002-06:00

YEA!!!! Kevin got his lion!!! He has been doing an awful lot of hunting trying to get one. Now maybe he will stay home a little more, the key word there is maybe!! He is going to take it to taxidermy school with him and he's going to make a rug out of it. He was very excited.

Go Aggies!!!!

2009-03-10T17:13:00.002-06:00

We went to the Aggie game on Saturday night and Jorie got to wear her cheerleading outfit. She looked so cute!!! She got lots of compliments!! You can't tell from the pics but her sock are even Aggie.

Just reading the mail!

2009-03-10T17:06:00.002-06:00

The other night I was doing something on the computer and I could hear Jorie talking to herself and when I turned around she had the mail and it looked like she was really reading out loud. It was so funny, she looked like a little adult!!!

Personal hygiene-what's that?

2009-03-04T21:15:00.002-07:00

Oh boy!!! Do you all remember once upon a time when Kevin was really clean cut? I think I do but I'm starting to forget!!! His hair is so long and believe it or not he just trimmed his beard. He grows it out in the winter because he works outside and he hunts a lot so it keeps him warm. I like it. It looks nice when it's wet because it's a little curly. It really does look good sometimes. I was really bored in these and it was about midnight. I was driving him crazy!!! Good thing he loves me!!!!

6 months old!!!

2009-02-17T21:49:00.002-07:00

We took Jorie to the doctor today for her 6 month check. I can not believe that she is already 6 months old. It's crazy!!! She weighs 17 lbs and 2 oz. What a little chunker!!! I love it. We started her on baby food tonight. She got some squash, yummy!!! She really wasn't too sure about it. She was pulling some pretty funny faces. She is seriously the best baby!!! I am so lucky! She has the funniest little personality. She keeps us laughing constantly!!! I love her so much!! She LOVES to talk. And I love to listen to her when she does. I could just listen to her for days. And she is so giggly!! She laughs at anything, it's the best sound in the world. I'm kinda proud, can ya tell?

Buddies!!!!!

2009-02-17T21:43:00.001-07:00

I know, more fuzzy pictures. That whole moving target thing!! This time there were two!! Sammi usually doesn't get too close to Jorie but the other night Jorie and I were sitting on the floor playing with her toys and Sammi came over and plopped right down by Jorie. Jorie loved it because she loves the dogs. Everytime Sammi would lay her head down or look the other direction Jorie would grab her collar like "Hello, pay attention to ME!!!" It was great. I am so glad that the dogs are so good with her, what a relief!!!

Winter Activities

2009-02-17T21:37:00.002-07:00

So we went up to Hardware Ranch a few weeks ago with my family. It was a lot of fun except we had to wake Jorie up from her nap so she wasn't too thrilled about the sleigh ride. My nephew, Cooper, kept growling at all of the elk. It was so funny. He is full of it!!! Then I went snow shoeing (is that spelled wrong?) Anyway, I went with Mindi, Carol, Gentry and a few other ladies. It was so much fun. I would love to go again. I am really out of shape, but oh well!!!! Thanks guys for taking me with you!!

Funny girl

2009-02-17T21:32:00.001-07:00

Sorry......the pics are a little fuzzy. It's not easy to take clear ones with a constantly moving target!!! Nice hat huh? Kevin was changing Jorie's clothes and her sweater got caught. It looked pretty funny so you know..... I just had to get a picture!!

We really need some more hair!!!!!

2009-02-04T12:44:00.002-07:00

Well Jorie doesn't have much hair!!! It really stands up so I tried to put a little clip in what she does have. It looked pretty funny but atleast it's something different!!!! I was trying to do her laundry and didn't have enough hand to carry her and the basket so I improvised!!! It worked pretty well and she was loving it in there!!! Maybe that can be her new "cage" since she is scooting and rolling all over the place!!!!!

Like father, like daughter!!!

2009-02-04T12:39:00.001-07:00

Jorie has some little Carhart overalls, as you can see!!! Kevin gets to tend on Wed. nights while I am at work so I usually dress her for the occasion!!! She looked pretty cute!!! Her new favorite toy is the remote control. She can spot it from across the room and folds in half trying to reach it!!!! It's pretty funny!!!

Funny mom!!!

2009-02-04T12:25:00.003-07:00

Jorie gets so funny in the evenings!! She gets really silly and laughs at everything!!! She had been laughing really hard but of course when I tried to video her she started to wind down!!! I will try to get a better one. And don't mind me being a dork!!!! Kevin says I take it a little to far but she likes it and I will do anything to make her laugh!!! I LOVE it!!!!!!!

Making Cookies!!

2009-02-04T12:19:00.002-07:00

Jorie is my little helper!!! I was trying to make cookies a while ago and she just wanted to help. She has really started reaching for stuff. I let her hold the spoons and she talked to me the whole time I was cooking. She is so funny!!!!!! Why do we even buy toys? Measuring spoons are much cheaper and she seemed to like them more!!!!!

We love hand-me-downs!!

2009-01-18T17:36:00.003-07:00

We just love those hand-me-downs!!! I love this little outfit that we got from Teri. She looked so cute in it but as you can see the hat's a little too big and as I was taking these pictures it kept getting lower and lower. She wasn't too excited once it finally covered her eyes.

Go Jazz!!!!!

2009-01-14T12:52:00.003-07:00

Yeah for a new background!!!! It's about time right? Thanks Mindi, I followed to link on yours!!!! So last Wednesday night when I got home from work Kevin had put Jorie in the Jazz outfit that he bought for her at a game he went to. It's so cute. You can't see very well but it has the jazz logo on the front and little stripes on the sides of the skirt. They were just hanging out watching the Jazz game so of course she had to dress for the occasion. He's such a good dad!!! Lets just hope that she doesn't make a habit of pulling her skirt up like in the picture!!! You gotta love those chubby legs!! Her hand is doing much better. I had to take her back to the doctor on Friday because it got really red. The doc was pretty concerned that it might have infection in the bone so we had to do more xrays. Thank goodness that it was just in the skin and not in the bone. She put her on antibiotics and it is looking much better!!!

background

2009-01-07T13:59:00.001-07:00

I know that my backgroung is Autumn. I can't get the site to work to change it and when I did I lost my Christmas one. Sorry. I will keep trying to fix it!!!!

No more cast!!! Only 2 thumbs!!!!

2009-01-07T13:38:00.002-07:00

Our before and after. We finally got to take Jorie's cast off today. Kevin came home at lunch and we had to put her in the tub and soak it for a while. The pink layer came off really easy but the layer under that was not easy. It was super sticky rubbery tape and it was stuck right to her skin. We pulled it off very carefully but she was very mad. By the time we got it all the way off her poor little arm was bright red. It looks really good though. There are still stitches in it and there is still some bruising but all in all it looks good. She has cried a lot today so I think it might hurt her to move it. That makes sense since they had to move the muscles and tendons around and she hasn't been able to bend her wrist for 3 weeks now so it can't feel too good. The poor little fart!!!!! She's doing so good though, I can't believe it. I was funny to look at her cast before we took it off. I was really starting to fray where she chewed on it all the time. Yummy!!!

Just plowing with dad!!!

2009-01-07T13:31:00.001-07:00

Well as you know we got a ton of snow on Christmas. It was awesome!!!! Kevin loves to plow and so the day after Christmas I got Jorie all bundled up and took her outside to help dad. She was loving it. I can't wait until she wants to build a snowman with me!!!!! It was pretty cold so I took her back in the house and she got really mad. After a while I took her back out and she was as happy as she could be!!! She is just like her dad!!!!!! My dad gave Jorie her very own little tiny sleigh for Christmas. I pulled her around in it for a while and she loved it. I will get some pics next time we do it. It's pretty funny.

Merry Christmas!!!!

2009-01-07T13:24:00.002-07:00

Hope all of you had a great holiday!!! We sure did. And Santa found us. Kevin got a gun, I got a KitchenAid mixer, a coat and some snow pants and Jorie got some toys and a dress and some books and jammies. She, of course, got spoiled from the grandparents. She got a new cabbage patch doll named Jorie Sue Norman and she was born on the same day. You can order them just for your kids so Susan got one for the girls, they are awesome. And she got lots more toys that she loves!!!! My mom gave her a little barn that sings and lights up and she has figured out how to make it sing all by herself. She is so funny and she always pulls the funniest faces. As you can see!!!!

I love to snuggle!!!!

2009-01-07T13:19:00.003-07:00

My mom gave Jorie this "Cheer Bear" before her surgery. As you can see, she loves it!!! She loves to snuggle with anything really. (I love it when it's me!!!) She just holds this bear right up by her head and usually falls asleep on it. So funny.

Day after!

2008-12-18T12:30:00.002-07:00

As you can all see Jorie's doing very well after her surgery. It doesn't seem to bother her a bit. I'm really glad I was able to get some clothes on her. It wasn't too easy but oh well. I was glad she could wear long sleeves too. Her other arm kept getting so cold, I felt bad for her!! She has just been hanging out and chewing on her cast. Yummy!!!!!!!

Recovery

2008-12-18T12:26:00.001-07:00

The pics in the carseat were in the recovery room right before we came home. Her little cheeks were so red from the tape that was holding her tubes. It looked just like red paint!!! Her hot pink cast is so cute!!!!

One last look!!!

2008-12-18T12:19:00.002-07:00

So Jorie had her surgery done yesterday. This was right before they came and got her. She did so good. I was a little sad because I just loved her little thumb but I wouldn't like it if she got made fun of because of it. We had to check in to Primary's at 6:30 am and then her surgery was at 8. She got done at 9:30 and we were on our way home by 10:30. We thought that we would be there a lot longer but she was doing so well that they let us go home. She is such a trooper!!!! It hasn't slowed her down at all. Now istead of chewing on her extra thumb she just chews on her cast!!!! That will be really gross in 3 weeks when we get to take it off!!!

What a mess!!!

2008-12-18T12:16:00.000-07:00

So I tried to take some plaster molds of Jorie's hand before her surgery and as you can see we made a huge mess. She was covered, I was covered and it was all over the counters and floors. It was quite an adventure!!!

HoHoHo!!

2008-12-18T12:09:00.001-07:00

We had our annual family Christmas party on Saturday and Jore got to meet Santa Clause for the first time. I was a little nervous that she would cry but as you can see, she did just fine!!

One stylin baby!!!!

2008-12-18T12:03:00.001-07:00

Well I really wish I had Jorie's wardrobe!!! Kevin's sister Teri came down from Washington this week and brought Jorie some new clothes. This sweater is so cute and Kevin's mom bought her the boots. She looked so cute and she was just being so funny!! I just love her!!!

The parties have started!!

2008-12-09T11:20:00.002-07:00

Tis the season to party right? On Sunday we went over to my aunt Sandra's house for our party. We always have one with her family and ours. It is so fun. It's probably my favorite party of the year. She bought Jorie and Cooper matching outfits that were so cute and she also got them these cute hats. They looked so cute in them. We had so much fun. We played some very fun games and had turkey dinner. I had a blast!! What a fun time of year!!!

BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!

2008-12-09T11:12:00.002-07:00

So Black Friday is my very favorite day of the year!!!! Every year me, Mindi and Gentry, (and usually Ginger) go shopping. We go at about 3:30 and hit the stores. The one picture is the line at Kohls. And yes we were in front of Kmart. I'm not sure what the great bargain was. I don't even go for anything specific, I just go for the fun of it all. One year I took Shelli and Susan and they didn't know that you had to hurry so they just stood in the back of Shopko and watched everyone throwing blankets around. (that was the hot item!) And that same year Kevin went and he was switching things in people carts so we don't take them anymore!!!! My sister won't go because one time she got pushed down. People are nuts and it is so entertaining!!!!!! After a wild morning of pushing and shoving you need some nourishment so we head on over to Angies. Nothing like a good breakfast and a big Diet Coke after all that excitement!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2008-12-09T11:09:00.002-07:00

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! We sure did!!! Dinner was wonderful. We went with Kevins family. We usually eat with his and go bowling with mine but my mom was in Las Vegas this year so we just hung out with the Normans. It was so much fun. I love Thanksgiving. It's just such a wonderful time of year and I am so thankful for so many things!!!!

Pre-Thanksgiving

2008-12-09T11:04:00.003-07:00

So neither Kevin or I have ever cooked a turkey. We had one in our freezer and we were getting a pig so I needed to make some room and we decided to cook our turkey. We have a smoker and we used that. I just had to take a picture of it because I was so proud of how well it turned out. Isn't she a beauty? It was so delicious!!! It was our pre-thanksgiving dinner!!!!!!

All 11!!

2008-12-09T10:57:00.002-07:00

I haven't updated in a while!!!! I painted Jorie's fingernails the otherday. I have painted her toes but
never her fingers. I had to do it, who

can say that they can paint 11 fingernails. She won't be able to say that for long. Her surgery is still on the 17th. I will be glad when it's over!! I can't believe how big she is getting. She is so funny. Her personality is really starting to show thru and I think she will keep us laughing!!!

Happy Halloween!!

2008-11-02T11:40:00.002-07:00

Happy Halloween y'all!! As you can see, Jorie was Tinkerbell, or as Kevin called her, Stinkerbell. I wasn't going to dress her up because she has these cute pjs but then Ginger said she had the Tinkerbell costume so she wore that. She looked so cute!!!! I had to work for a little while so she got to go play with Sandra and Megan. Then we went to Grandma Suzie's and then to Ma's. Hunter came to see us and the Whites. Everyone looked so cute. I LOVE Halloween. It's one of my favorites!! Jorie got more for Halloween than most kids get for Christmas!!! She got books, rattles, a dress, a shirt, candy (don't worry, I took care of that!!!), and a play mat with toys. SPOILED!!!! It was awesome, thanks so much grandparents!!! You guys are awesome!!!

Cool dude!!

2008-11-02T11:37:00.001-07:00

Jorie got these glasses from Grandma Marjean. Doesn't she look so cute? She wasn't too excited to wear them. She will be pretty stylin next year at the pool in her sunglasses and bikini!!

Fall photo shoot

2008-11-02T11:25:00.002-07:00

Our kids are going to hate us when they grow up!!! Mindi and I and all of our photo shoots!! Hunter and Jorie both have John Deere outfits that Kevin bought for them. Hunter has almost grown out of his and Jorie's drowns her but we had to get some pics of them!! Hunter is funny, he holds her hand a lot!! Jorie looks really happy huh? They are so funny!!

Hunters buddy

2008-11-02T11:18:00.001-07:00

I watched Hunter the other day and Jack was his buddy!! It's funny, Jack never pays any attention to Jorie but he LOVED Hunter. It was so funny!! Hunter kept putting his hand on Jacks face and Jack would just lay there and look at him. He never left his side. He's such a good dog. I think he needs more boys around here!!

Surgery date!!

2008-10-22T18:18:00.002-06:00

Well we went down to Primary Children's today to meet with Jorie's surgeon. He was nice so that made me feel a little better!!! We scheduled her surgery for Dec. 17. He said it should be pretty easy. They may have to move some tendons around, which is what we were expecting. He also said that if he thinks her good thumb is going to keep growing crooked then they will put a little pin in it. Hopefully they won't have to do that, he just said there was a chance that could happen. We were going to wait until she was a few months older but the doctor said once they were at least 3 months old it was ok to give them the anesthesia. Plus if we do it before the end of the year we don't have to start over with our deductible. Fun insurance stuff!!! I will be very glad when it's all over and I can quit stressing about it!!! They said she will be in a soft cast for about a month after the surgery so she will be in one for Christmas. Fun huh? I'm just glad she's young enough she won't really know the difference.

Jorie and Cooper

2008-10-18T15:39:00.003-06:00

This is my nephew Cooper, he's my brothers little boy. He is 6 weeks to the day older than Jorie. Almost to the minute, they are off by a half an hour!! They are the only 2 grandkids on my side so it's so fun to have them so close!! They had their pictures taken yesterday afternoon so we took these before we went. They weren't too happy. I am so excited to see the ones that we had taken!! This is my fam. My brother Trevor, my sister Kelli, Me, Cooper and Jorie.

Red underwear!!

2008-10-16T22:12:00.002-06:00

Ok so Mindi and I have some learning moments tonight!!!! She taught me so much about my blog!! Kevin messed it up a while ago so I couldn't add anything!!! Thanks Mindi for helping me!! Kevin went deer hunting this weekend so he thought Jorie needed her very own red underwear!! Cute huh? Trap door and all!!! What a funny dad!!

Funny girl!

2008-10-15T12:30:00.002-06:00

We painted Jorie's toes today. They don't look too good but what do you expect when you have a moving target!! I tried to do when she was asleep but she still didn't hold still. Hunter came over on Sunday and they were talking to each other. It was pretty cute. They had on their matching halloween slippers!! I took Jorie to the doctor yesterday for her 2 month check. She weighs 12 lbs 6 oz. She is in the 87th percentile for weight!!! She's just like her mom!!! She got her shots and she did pretty good with them. I had to get the flu shot too so I felt her pain!!!! She's such a good girl!!!!

Blessing Day

2008-10-15T12:23:00.003-06:00

We blessed Jorie on Sunday. It was such an awesome day. Kevin did such an awesome job!! Jorie wasn't too happy but that's ok. Kevin's mom made her dress. It is beautiful!! She made the hat for her to wear but Kevin says we aren't pioneers and she had to wear a headband instead. He's so funny!! She looked so pretty!!!! We only got about 3 hours of sleep the night before so that wasn't too fun but oh well. Such is life!!!

Happy Halloween!!

2008-10-15T12:18:00.001-06:00

Sorry. My computer won't let me rotate that pic!! This is our favorite Halloween outfit!! (She has 3 of them!!) The tights are my favorite!!!

Daddy's Girl!!!

2008-10-15T12:08:00.003-06:00

What a proud papa!!! He loves to hold her in his chair. Last night she was talking to him and I was laughing so hard! She never talks that much to me! She just kept going and going. He turned her around and stopped talking to her and she got so mad!!! So, he talked to her some more and then she was happy!! It went on for about a half and hour!!! It was so cute! The dog picture is kinda fuzzy but oh well. They usually don't show much interest in Jorie but this day they were into her and she just watched everything they did. It was pretty funny. It's funny how careful they around her. If she's on the floor they walk way out around her and they don't play hard around her either. They're pretty smart I quess.

Good Morning!!

2008-10-15T12:02:00.003-06:00

Jorie is so funny in the morning!!! She sleeps so good and when she wakes up she is all smiles!! She will be fussing and all I have to do is look at her and say good morning and she instantly starts smiling and talking to me. It's the best!!! She definately doesn't get that from her dad!!!!!

Home Sweet Home!

2008-09-29T10:59:00.002-06:00

Can you believe those cheeks? Too cute!!! We were finally on our way home from our trip. She was so good, she only got fussy one time on the trip. She was such a trooper, especially since we were in the car for about 12 hours on Saturday!!! What a good girl!!!!

Our look out crew!!

2008-09-29T10:50:00.002-06:00

Kevin and Craig were really on the look out for some big bull elk!! We saw a few but nothing too fantastic!! At least this year we didn't see any try to kill any humans!!!! I was grateful for that!! The waterfalls are so pretty. We saw quite a few. The leaves around the Tetons were so bright. It looked like a painting. My pic didn't do it justice, the sun was too bright but it was so incredible. When we stopped to take the last picture of the Tetons there were 5 moose in the river. A big bull and 4 cows. It was awesome, they are my favorite!!!

Jorie's first vacation!!!

2008-09-29T10:40:00.002-06:00

Well we went to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole this weekend. We usually go every year on the last weekend of September. We weren't planning on going this year because it would be hard with the baby and we always go with Jess and Mindi but he had surgery and couldn't go. Kevin called me on Friday afternoon and told me to get the bags packed and we were going. We went with Craig and Julie and we had so much fun!! We didn't see nearly as many animals as we usually do but everything is so pretty this time of year!! I love fall!!! I hope Kevin didn't wear Julie out!!! He can be a lot to take!! Julie hadn't been since she was little so we actually got to go to Old Faithful. I was glad because Kevin usually doesn't like to go there. It was awesome. Jorie was so good. I couldn't believe it!!! She is such a good baby!!!!!

Not so happy camper!!

2008-09-25T22:15:00.002-06:00

Well the poor little fart has been having some issues lately!! Last week she had some blood in her poop so we took her into the doctor. They thought that she had a virus so they did some stool samples and they came back negative for anything funny. So they were thinking that the dairy products that I was eating were bothering her tummy so no more dairy for me!!! I am dying without my glass of milk for breakfast and avoiding butter is NOT easy. Eating out is a joke but it's a small price to pay!!! Anyway, we went back on Monday and they did an x-ray of her tummy. They thought it looked good and so they still said no dairy. Well today, they called back and said the radiologist thought maybe it looked funny so they wanted to do another. They did another stool sample, more blood, and another xray. Then they wanted to draw blood. I kinda panicked because Kevin does better at that than I do but I was brave and Jorie was brave. They ended up poking her 4 times in 2 hours. Twice in the arms, once in the foot and then in her hand. We were both a little upset by the time we left but Jorie was so good!! Everything came back normal so still no dairy. I'm so glad that's all it is. That is pretty minor and the doctor says she should grow out of it so in a couple of months I can try dairy again and see how she does. What a week!!!! She is 6 weeks old today. I can't believe how the time flies!!!! I just want to freeze it so she can't get any older!!! She is so fun and such a good baby!!! We are so lucky to have her!!!!!!

Dad's favorite

2008-09-25T22:11:00.001-06:00

I can't believe how big she is getting!!! Last week at the doctor she weighed 11 pounds!!! She is such a funny girl. The white and pink outfit is Kevin's favorite. We had to take some pics of her in it because she is just about too big for it. He bought it for her in March. Before she was born he would to go in her room and hold it. He is so funny!!!

Sleeping Beauty!

2008-09-25T22:00:00.002-06:00

Well we have a really hard life if you can't tell!!! This was a few weeks ago. We were going to Salt Lake to pick up Kevin's latest toy-a 4-wheeler- and this is how excited she was!! She loves to sleep in dad's lazy boy recliner. He shares it with her, she's pretty lucky, he doesn't share with anyone!!!

Diaper fiasco!!

2008-09-08T18:44:00.000-06:00

The other night Kevin was in charge of the baby so I could finally get in the shower. I had just got undressed when he yelled for me to bring him a diaper. I put on my robe and went out to the family room. He had the baby laying on the couch and he took her diaper off. She apparently wasn't done pooping so he started to yell, "Quit puckering!!!". Of course she didn't and then she started peeing. It was all over the couch and all the way up his arm to his shoulder. It was so funny that I started laughing so hard that I started to pee too. I didn't make it to the bathroom quite in time and with only a bathrobe on, it wasn't so good. Poor Kevin, he just sat there and shook his head and said he couldn't take two women with bathroom issues!!! He was a pretty good sport about it but needless to say, he's a little gun shy with the diaper duty and he doesn't ask for me to bring him things anymore!!!!!! He's such a good sport!!! We love him so much. He always keeps us laughing!!!!

First real photo shoot!

2008-09-08T18:25:00.001-06:00

We had Jorie's pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. She didn't like it too much. Erin, the photographer did such and awesome job. Jorie was wide awake the whole time. I kind of wanted some of her sleeping but oh well, ya take what you can get. Erin got some really good ones of her hand. I was glad for that because I wanted some to show her when she gets older. My mom also got us a handprint kit so we will have that and some cool pictures to show her. After we were all done with pictures she put both hands over her eyes and fell asleep for almost 5 hours. It was traumatizing!!!! She has learned to suck her thumb, the one thumb, not the two. It's pretty cute but I don't really want to have to break that habbit!

2008-09-08T18:13:00.000-06:00

Here are just some more pics. She is changing so much I can't even believe it. The one of her and Hunter makes me laugh. She just looked so little next to him. When they get married we can put that in their wedding video!!!!! Proud grandpa with both grandkids. Cooper looks so big compared to her too. I don't ever thing she's that small until she is next to someone else. Her hair is growing a little. I think it's going to have some red in it!!!! I hope so! I can't really decide who she looks like. Some people say me and some people say Kevin so who knows!!! I just think she's dang cute so that's all that matters!!! I'm a little proud!!!!

Jorie

2008-09-08T17:56:00.000-06:00

Ok, I am finally trying to get caught up. Sorry, I suck!!! So when Jorie was born Kevin was the one who noticed the extra thumb first. He panicked a little but then once he realized everything was ok then he was ok. He was so good while I was in labor. He didn't pass out, I was so proud! And he even cut the cord. After we got over the shock of the thumb the doctors told us that she had an infection and jaundice so they would probably have to put her in the NICU. They did tons of tests and decided that she didn't have an infection after all but that she did have to go home with the lights for the jaundice. She had her very own tanning bed, lucky!!! She did so good. She was so good and never cried. It was so hard not to hold her though. She had to be on the lights all the time, she could only come out to eat. It killed me!! She had to be on them for 3 days. The worst part was taking her in everyday to have her heels poked, well really sliced, so they could test her levels. Kevin had to go in with her because I couldn't take it. I will do really well with the whole surgery thing! After that though everything was good and she is such a good baby. We are so lucky!!

She's here!!!!

2008-08-26T12:34:00.000-06:00

Well as I'm sure you all know, we had the baby! Jorie was born on Aug. 14 at 12:45 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. Everything went really well. It was awesome!!! She is such a good baby. We are so blessed to have her. I haven't been able to update my blog because my computer is broken. It should be up and running on Sept. 2 so I will update it when I can. We had pictures taken so you can check them out until I can post more. They are at erindavisphotography.blogspot.com. She did such an awesome job!! Oh ya, and I am sure you have all heard, Jorie was born with an extra thumb on her left hand. Shelli says she was giving it 110%!! I will try to update more!!!

No baby yet!!

Well I know that we are still a few days away from the actual due date but I am finally starting to think I'm ready to be done being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I have really loved it but it's just really getting too darn hot for me!!! I was really hoping that she would be born on 08/08/08 but she just wasn't going to budge!! Oh, well. The due date really isn't until the 15th so I will just keep being patient. She will just come when she's ready. I am hoping that if I haven't had her by my due date then I can talk the doctor into starting me on the 18th. I don't know if that will happen but we will see. I told Kevin that if she is like me, she will be a little early or at least on time. If she is like him, she won't show up until October or November. Stubborn little fart! I hope all is well with all of you. I will keep you all posted and get some pics on here as soon as I can!!

I went to the doctor yesterday and I am 50% effaced and dialated to a 1. It's not much but it's something!! Kevin is so ready he can't stand it! Easy for him to say, he doesn't have to deliver!! I would love to have her on 08/08/08 but whenever we get her, we get her!!! I am ok until the 15th, that's just a little more sleep for me!!!!

Here are some pics of the babies room. Kevin did an awesome job. The walls were already red so we added the beadboard and all the flowers. She is already spoiled rotten and she isn't even here yet!! I had to put the halt on Kevin's spending!! Teri, Kevin's sister, has sent us so much stuff. She has two little girls and she sent 6 garbage bags full of baby clothes, some of them with the tags still on them! I didn't even know where to put it all!! She now has 100 hangers in her closet with clothes on them, all ranging in sizes 0 mos to a year and a dresser with 6 full drawers! The rest are in a tote in the basement! I will have to change her clothes 4 times a day just so she can wear them all. How would it be, I wish I had that many clothes! Thanks Teri-you're the best!! We got lots of fun stuff at our showers too. People are so kind!! I can't wait for her to get here. I am so excited!! 2 and 1/2 weeks and counting!!
