Wow...

If you can't tell, I'm really bad at this. I originally started a blog so that it would be like a journal. Then, with everything that has gone on I just forget! I have a new goal...I am going to try to update every month...hopefully I can do that! I'll post some pictures as soon as I can (hopefully next week)
Just a few things that have gone on over the last 9 months (it sounds so long when you put it that way!):
Jaylee is growing so big! She is probably around 15 lbs now (k...so she might be small, but she has about 5 rolls from her knees to her hips!)
A few months ago we had a little scare. She just wasn't acting normal so I took her to the doctor. The doctor felt her soft spot (that was bulging out) and in less than 3 hours we had been to the hospital, she'd gotten a spinal tap, blood drawn and a urine sample taken and were admitted to the hospital. They were worried that she had meningitis. After 3 nights of hospital, Jaylee broke out in a rash (which meant no meningitis, just roseola - baby measles) and a kidney infection! That meant that we had to do more tests to find out why. After all was said and done, she has an enlarged right kidney, but nothing else is wrong. She hasn't had any more infections and she isn't acting like she is in pain, so we don't need to worry about anything!
She says "momomomomom" and every once and awhile she'll say "dadadadadad". Dada was her first word, but then she learned mom and dada is a rare occasion now. :) She gets to spend Monday's and Wednesday's with her daddy while I am at work. She loves her dad! They play all the time! Tuesday's she gets to hang out with her cousins (Konley (4) & Kru (1)). She loves to watch them and Kru is a good helper...he always tries to feed her cheerios. She has just figured out how to pull herself up on things, and she LOVES to stand up! I'm sure she will be a little gymnast: She always has her feet in her mouth. Her favorite food is bananas, or whatever is on mom or dad's plate. :) Basically, she is a perfect little almost 9 month old!
Jordan got put in the bishopric in our ward...yeah, he's a little busy...enough said.
After I had Jaylee I decided that I wanted to run the Ogden half marathon in May (that is this month...ah!) So, I signed up, paid the money, then slacked off on running. I decided that I didn't want to waste $50, so I started to train about 3 months ago. About a month and a half ago some people in our ward asked if we knew anyone who needed a pass for the marathon, they had comp passes. Well, Jordan decided that if he didn't have to pay, he wanted to run! So, we have been having lots of family running outings the last couple months. The half marathon is on Saturday...good luck us! I also was called to be the stake choreography director for the 2010 Youth Spectacular (ariseandshineforth.com). It takes up alot of my time, but they youth in our stake (Rockcliff) are awesome! I really feel so blessed to see how Heavenly Father loves all of them and is giving them an opportunity to feel that love and to see the power that the gospel has on this earth.
I am so lucky. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful baby girl and so many blessings in my life. What else could I ask for?!
