My Children....

I was looking over some quotes the other day and this one just really hit home.

"To Be In Your Children's Memories Tomorrow, You Have To Be In Their Lives TODAY!"

WOW, that is pretty powerful. I think most of you can agree with me but I find myself getting wrapped up in the day to day grind. I honestly have to stop and remind myself that its ok to leave the dishes in the sink and the laundry can wait another day. Its our children that need us the most and they should not have to wait.

Hair Cut

I did it again! I can't seem to make up my mind when it comes to my HAIR... Is there a point when we can just shave our heads. I cut my hair last week and I am loving it. I was having several bad hair days last week and I finally threw my hands up and said heck with the long hair. I was a little concerned because I wasn't sure how the short cut would look with my looooong face but I think it turned out pretty cute. I owe it all to Brenda. It takes just about the same amount of time to style everyday, but at least I finally have some body. If any one has any hair tips, I'm always open for suggestions. Tell me what you think of the new do.

WE ARE EXPECTING......

Last week Kent and I found out we are expecting another baby. We are just so excited and of course nervous at the same time. Kennedi will be turning one next month so that means the two little ones will be twenty months apart, yikes! Last month we started talking pretty seriously about trying for another baby and what do you know we are pregnant. We are certain this will be our last. We have a full house as it is but four will even the score. Of course we are just wanting a healthy baby but I would love to have another boy. Kaden wants a brother and I think two boys and two girls would be nice. On the other hand I already have everything for a little girl, so I guess no matter what its a win win situation. I feel wonderful, but I will keep everyone posted. I want to thank all my family and friends for all your love and support.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter Kaiah Ryan Mortenson. Kaiah is spending her 5th birthday in California with her dad. I called her and sang "happy birthday." Kaiah is very excited to be five, she says "mom I can go to Kindergarten now." We will be celebrating of course this June when we can have her 5 1/2 birthday party. I know it sounds crazy but it has worked out so well for us. I encourage all you moms who have had babies this December to celebrate the half birthdays, its GREAT!

Merry Christmas 2007

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas. We were fortunate to have Christmas in California and Nevada. The kids were loaded with presents from both sides of our families and of course Santa Claus. Looking back on 2007 we have lots to be thankful for and we are looking forward to a wonderful 2008!

Love always,
Jacqueline

We want to wish each and everyone of you a happy and safe holiday!

We are so excited for Christmas. The kids are counting the days until they can open their presents.

Poor Kennedi has her first cold. She has a runny nose and last night she developed a fever. She has been very clingy but she still has a smile on her cute little face.

The rest of us are still healthy and I hope to keep it that way. Can't wait to hear from the rest of you and see what Santa brought you this year!

Love,

Jacquie
