So Big!

Last week we went to Disneyland. While Tyler and Taylor went on Star Tours, Andy demanded that he too wanted to go on Star Tours. Being the smart mom that I am I told him he wasn't big enough yet. Oops! He wasn't happy with that and said, "I am bigger. I am not Yittle (A and A pronounce theirs L's as Y's...cutest thing ever!)" I told him to go stand by the measuring stick to see if in fact he wasn't Yittle. Well, sure enough he was just barely tall enough at 40 inches. Totally surprised me and made him one happy boy. (FYI camera still broken, relying solely on IPhone pictures.)Expected mothers are not advised to ride Star Tours so I hung out with Ash but I am sad I missed his reaction to the ride. Tyler said he screamed and just kept looking around wondering what on earth was going on. When it was over he declared, "That was fun!"

Next was his first time on the Toon Town Roller Coaster. Apparently we have deprived him of this fun for awhile because you only have to be 35 inches tall. He had his hands up the entire time and loved every second of being such a big boy!

Baby ticker!

Just looked at my baby ticker on my blog,
we are in the double digits now until we become a family of 6. Wow!

Holiday Showcase.

Before Christmas, the dance studio had a mini Christmas recital. Taylor performed a ballet number and her jazz dance that she will compete in this season.
It is always so fun to watch Taylor dance and each time see a little more confidence and spunk.
We brought a little friend with us.
The 3 dancing girls. Can't wait to see them on stage in a month at their 1st competition.

25 weeks!

I am 25 weeks pregnant. I honestly can't believe it! Thankfully this pregnancy seems to be going by fast. I went to the doctor yesterday and whined about how I felt like I was huge for only 25 weeks. He assured me I am not and have not gained too much weight. I am actually right on track SO....if my brain could just accept that information maybe I wouldn't feel so fat. Maybe I should take a stroll down memory lane and look at my twin pregnancy pictures for a little perspective.

Things are going well. Last weekend, I was forced to rest for 2 days after activity overload. Those 2 days proved beneficial and this week has been better. Everyday I am more excited for this little man to join our family. We can't wait to love on him!

3 year tradition.

The last 3 years, we have spent New Year's Day at Balboa. It always proves to be a beautiful fun day. This year started with a broken camera and being pooped on twice by birds. I was almost ready to leave. Super glad we didn't and that we had our IPhones handy for pictures.

We tried something new this year and rented one of these.

And biked ourselves down to the wedge. We believe this little excursion might have caused some preterm labor issues. Maybe not such a great idea...24 weeks!
The tradition is only complete when we meet up with the Blume family. Next year there will be 2 8 month old boys added to this group. The girls are quickly being outnumbered. Luckily they are full of personality and will have no problem making their presence known.We celebrated Paige's birthday at Wilma's Patio.
Have Sara and I not trained these girls well on how to smile for pictures?!A little sugar overload before heading home.Once again another fabulous day on the So Cal Coast.We are looking forward to a great 2010:
Baby boy will arrive.
Tyler turns 30!
Jorgenson Properties soaring to new heights.
Tyler attends Graduate school. USC hopefully! Go Trojans!
And just a less stressful year than the one before! It is looking good from here!
Today I am grateful!

Santa Came.

And brought lots of Christmas joy.
This year we kept the gift giving pretty simple and every night leading up to Christmas we talked about the true meaning of the holiday. It was perfect!
All Taylor wanted was a bike and Littlest Pet Shop....so granted!
Christmas morning was spent at our house with Grandma and Grandpa J.
Tyler and Andy mastering the Wii which is now a nightly occurrence for my men. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa J. It's a hit at our house!
Taylor got a Madame Alexander doll with a matching outfit from G and G. She loved being able to match her doll.
Off to Grandma and Grandpa P's house for dinner and more presents. Taylor had been eyeing this cupcake maker for months.
Ashlyn loves her baby dolls.
And Andy got all things CARS.
Thanks Mom and Reid for a fun night!
