Eva Annette Toronto

This is Eva (pronounced with a long A, like shave) after 10 hours. She was born yesterday, Thursday, Dec. 27, 2007, at 9:22 p.m. Mountain time, weighing 7 lbs, 14 oz. and measuring 19 inches flat.

12 weeks and Counting!!!!!

Holy Cow 12 weeks until we bring our beautiful baby girl home. We are so excited to have our Eva here on earth with us and finally with us in person. Morgan is getting more and more used to the idea of not being the center of attention. Several weeks ago he started kissing my stomach when we said Eva's name, and now he has started to say 'Baby'. Which for those of you who have children you know just how exciting it is for a new word in your kids vocabulary. The thought of another baby is slightly nerve racking but the excitement of having another spirit here on earth and sealed to us is the greatest feeling and blessing of all.
We just got back from Vegas where Jake was helping to run a conference. Now Jake is preparing to go to Ottawa in 2 weeks where he will be gone for a whole week, while Morgan and I go to Arizona for the week to visit both Grandparents and Great-Grandparents. Morgan is beyond thrilled to visit his Grandpa's.
It's always so nice to see and visit with family. I forget how much I miss living near my parents until I see them. I hope someday Jake and I will have left the same impression upon our kids.

IT'S A GIRL!

Well we found out we are having a girl and Jake and I are just beyond excitement. We are so happy to have one of each now. And I just can't stop buying pink! No princess stuff yet though, but I don't want to get that going to soon either. Morgan still doesn't quite get why my stomach fights back, but soon he discover he is not the center of attention anymore and when that happens watch out.
Jake was recently put in cahrge of two different conferences in the past month and just had one finish without a glitch. Very Very exciting.
We are very excited about this weekends game and just as excited to see the Laniers. I can't wait to go to the Gelato shop together.

18 Weeks and counting....

Well last night the funniest thing happened last night with Jake and Morgan, they went outside to play on the patio and Jake comes running in. Magen, Magen come here what does this smell like? Someone was smoking pot below us and Jake wanted me to confirm that it indeed smelt like pot. Anyway I guess you had to be there but it was absolutely hilarious.

Morgan is bigger than ever now. In fact when he runs his cheeks jiggle. Oh and does he talk, some days I think will he ever run out of stuff to babble about, but it's yet to happen. I haven't exactly had the best month myself. Earlier this month I had to go to the Emergency Room in the middle of the night for an asthma attack and this weekend I had to go because I had a migraine for like 3 days straight. No fun, no fun at all.

My little sister will be moving to Idaho in the next month to go to school. Which is exciting! I can't believe she's old enough to go to school now. Holy Cow I am getting old. Well I guess bye for now.

So it's been forever since we posted. So we have a lot to catch up on. I can't remember if we already told you but were pregnant again! Christmas is the expected date of arrival and we are absolutely excited about the whole thing. Two kids really makes you a family, established you know adult.

Jake got a job here in Utah. So we'll be here awhile. We moved this past weekend from WyView and are now living in a beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom Condo. We love being in a real home. Now all we need is furniture....we pretty much gave it all away. But that's ok it's time for an updated look in our home anyway.

My sister is coming to stay with us for awhile to help us get settled in, and help me with Morgan while I am on bed rest for the next several weeks. So I am excited about that. It's so fun to have my sister around even if we don't always get along.

Hopefully Jake and I will start to become better about writing more frequently. But until then hope all is well.

Well Morgan had a HUGE DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE cake for his birthday! There was cake everywhere, but he loved it. I stated to get a little sick this week. The Perks of being pregnant right. I only have to wait 7 more months to enjoy my misery.

Jake is still looking for a job and so far that's all we are doing. Soon I am sure the search will be over.

Last weekend we had a reunion with the 203rd Ward, and it was so much fun to be back with everyone that we had made friends with. Happy Mother's Day to all of you girls out there! We love and miss you. We can't wait for Jenna and Andrew to get back. Sorry about the Jazz last night.

Already One!

Well Morgan is going to have his first birthday on Wednesday! Can you believe that! A year already. Morgan is so big and ready to take the world for a ride. We just bought him these sweet Reebok 80's tennis shoes. He is so adorable.Jake Graduated from BYU last week, and now we are ready to start our new life. Vice President Cheney spoke at commencement along with President Samuelson. It was so wonderful to have all of our family in town to help us celebrate. We're excited to have our new blog that everyone can see and we really hope that we can do a good job.
