Happy Birthday Jane!



Ten years ago today our little Jane was born! What a surprise she was all around! The first surprise was that I was pregnant, AGAIN! What a shocker! For those of you who were around us then probably remember the look on my face.......sheer terror! The thought of having 3 under 3 1/2....Yikes! Guess it was time to move out of our 1 bedroom apartment, and purchase a mini van! Nate and I decided that this time we were going to find out the sex of the baby, you know so we could be PREPARED! Well, we were told we were going to have a little BOY! The months went on and we anticipated the arrival of our little boy. Two weeks before the estimated day of arrival and in the wee hours of the morning our little baby decided to come. That wasn't the only unexpected surprise! A girl?? What do you mean it is a girl? Instead of little Brock we had our little Jane. From day one she has been such a joy, she is our peacemaker, our sweet baby Jane. Her and Aubrey are 19 months apart, what a blessing. I do not know what they would do without each other. She loves to play soccer and is VERY active! She has this LONG time obsession with Strawberry Shortcake. She even looks like her, minus the red hair. We love her to pieces and cannot imagine life without her. She forms special bonds with everyone around her. She is kind and respectful of others. She can do a backbend walkover like no other. She is amazing on her pogo stick and loves to jump on her mini trampoline! She would, if we let her spend hours in Claire's or Office Max, (she just loves school supplies)! She reads her scriptures and says her prayers every night. She is an example to all. We love you Jane!! Have a Happy, Happy Birthday!

What a cutie inside and out...we were both apparently insane having 3 kids less than 3 years apart! But isn't it the best now? Jane & my McKenzie sound a lot alike at the same age, only I think your Jane may be a little more obedient:)

I love it! Sweet baby Jane...Josie was supposed to be either Grace (even at birth that one would have been a stretch) or Jane (I only survived that hellish pregnancy through reading all of Jane Austen's works) but we took one look at her and she was Josie and that was that! I know what you mean about siblings close in age. Calvin, who turns 10 next month, is just 2 1/2 years older than the twins and the three of them are a playdate all on their own. Happy birthday Jane!

Thanks Carrie! I went in yesterday and had a cortisone injection in my spinal cord. If that doesn't work then they will do back surgery....there s no disc or cushion in my lower vertebrae. i have had back issues on and off for the past 10 years.This time was just by far the worst! So I will inevitably will have to have surgery, they are just trying to see if they can prolong it for a bit.... It has been painfully boring laying in bed, but I am starting to feel better now. I am hoping to be able to get back to the gym with in a week or two! Take care!!! And yes we would have a blast together. We need to set something up soon.
