Happy 2nd Birthday Jordyn!!!

Yesterday was Jordyn's 2nd Birthday! We had a nice quiet day that was all about her. We were even awake at 6am (taking Eric to work) and remembering the event 2 years ago at that same time. I had been having Braxton-Hicks contractions all night and was on the couch watching TV. No matter what I did, those stupid contractions would not stop! Finally I decided to look at the clock, and SUPRISE, they were consistantly 5-6 min apart---hum---I could NOT be in labor!!!! I had 1 more month, we weren't ready!!.........Eric had finals that day and the rest of that week!!!!!! I was sure that if I could just relax they would go away!!!! - Yeah, right! Finally at about 5 am Eric convinced me to go to the hospital and when they checked - I was at 9.5cm!! 20 minutes and a few pushes later, we had our daughter! Eric and I were in shock, it happened so fast, we just stared at her and couldn't believe she was here. Thank goodness for the nurses who kept Spencer entertained with Jello and orange juice somewhere. Like I said, we really weren't ready to have her yet!


Spencer was so excited to have a baby sister! He wanted to hold her all the time! And would get that "cheesy" grin every time he did!

1st Birthday - 2008

1 year ago - She was so much different than this year. - In the last year she has moved from California to Utah, learned to walk, learned to talk, follows her big brother everywhere and does everything he does. She has become very independant and wants to do things for herself, until she gets frustrated and wants you to do it for her.

2nd Birthday - 2009
What could it be?????


A bike just for me!!!!


"kyou, daddy"
(Thank you, Daddy!) for putting my bike together!!
(I didn't intend to make a poem)

Could she be any more excited?
And then Grandpa and Grandma stopped by to celebrate.
After a little show from Jordyn....she got her present.
A chair just for her!!!
(Isaac, we will bring it when we come over so she will leave yours alone!!)
We ended the night with cupcakes and candles!!
