Happy Little Gal!

I just couldn't help but share these pictures that Katie took the other day while I was at work. I think sometimes getting a picture that really shares the truth isn't always easy. But these pictures show my little girl how I see her everyday. It is hard to be in a bad mood when you have this happy little face staring back at you.



There is one thing that isn't conveyed in this photo and that is here constantly kicking feet. I don't think that she can smile without her legs going at 20 miles per hour.

MMM, Rice Cereal!!!

Our little girl has started rice cereal and she LOVES it. We have been feeding her while she sits in her Bumbo. The only problem with that is now whenever we put her in her Bumbo she thinks that we are going to feed her. Here she is enjoying her meal. For more recent pictures of Loryn click here.

14 things we love about our little Loryn

9:06 AM | 2 Comments

In honor of St. Valentine, we have drafted a list stating the top 14 things we love about our little girl (7 things by Katie & 7 by Jordan). Sometimes I think we should rename our blog "A Shrine to Loryn" or something like that. I guess I am learning that it is true, your kids become the center of your life. Our little Loryn has anyhow. So with that being said here is the list...



  1. Her hair that stands on end no matter what (Katie)
  2. Her petite girly features (Katie)
  3. The way she smiles when we see her for the first time in the mornings (Katie)
  4. Her happy, high pitch opera scream (Katie)
  5. The way she jumps when you scare her, but smiles afterward (Katie)
  6. Her BIG beautiful eyes (Katie)
  7. Very little spit-up (Katie)
  8. Her sweet laugh (Jordan)
  9. How playful she is. She LOVES to play (Jordan)
  10. Her angry yell through her binkie when she is tired (Jordan)
  11. Between 7:00 - 8:00 PM for the opportunity to listen to her jibber-jabber and play in the bath (Jordan)
  12. Her curiousity, you can always tell she is thinking about something going on around her (Jordan)
  13. Her love for EVERYBODY, she doesn't seem to care if she is being held by a complete stranger (Jordan)
  14. The rare but wonderful opportunity to cuddle with her (Jordan)

Happy New Year, Indeed!

Well I can't believe that we are almost half way through the first month of the new year.  We had a busy but good Christmas and New Year.  We headed back to Northern Utah for Christmas and were able to bless Loryn with all of our families there.  It was wonderful.  But as fate would have it the batteries to our camera died and so we don't have any pictures to post. Luckily, members of our family have pictures for us.  While we were up there it snowed a ton, so of course I was able to get up and going skiing.  

Loryn is growing so fast.  It seems like I go to work and when I get home she has grown a little more.  She is starting to laugh and goes into fits of jibber jabbering (so cute).  These are the most recent pictures of her. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hello Everyone! We just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. We are excited to see all of our family, and to allow them all the chance meet our wonderful little daughter. Oh and while I am at it I may as well share some more adorable pictures with you all. As you will see she is smiling lots. Our favorite is when she is tired and wants to frown but then smiles. It is like we have our own little Dr. Jackal & Mrs. Hyde. She is so much fun. To see her beautiful smile click here.
