Precious Angel

So when Jersey was about 3-4 weeks old we got some pics of her...Lara Ellingson took them and they turned out F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! In about 90% of them, good ol' Jersey has her tongue stickin out but what else is new. There are some of THE sweetest pictures of her and I know I am totally "picture happy" but I just can't help it....grin, I had to share.

What A Tonguerful World

JERSEY LOVES STICKIN OUT HER TONGUE! As you can see this girl has had many a photo shoots and I must say that the tongue is a big part of the shoot. My bro says she has it out all the time cuz it's too big for her mouth...grin. I think it's her way of lettin people know that she is open for kisses...grin. Either or, I think it's pretty dang stinkin funny. Good ol' Jersey, she's always good for a laugh.

Hailed From Utah

So Dane and his wife Mallory came down from Utah to visit and to come for Jersey's blessing. This was the first time Dane got to see my lil' one and I must say that it was love at first sight. I think they make THE cutest couple. It was super fun to have Dane back in town...I miss him soooo much, and Mallory too...grin.

Jersey Lynette Leavitt had her Baby Blessing Sunday, the 3rd of June. It was such an amazing experience. Jersey looked so beautiful if I do say so myself. I was a little stressed out the day before cuz I wanted everything to go smoothly and wouldn't you know it that as soon as sacrament got started she started to cry her little squeaky cry, it was so adorable and a little sad. She eventually got over it and only cried a bit during the blessing. I have realized that with the babes, you gotta roll with watever...grin. Nathan gave her the sweetest blessing, he is such an amazing father. All my family was there (except Jaime...we missed you) and Nathans fam and some friends too. My brother Dane and His wife Mallory came down from Utah for the blessing...Jersey felt to special...grin. It was the first time he had seen Jersey and their first meeting was super cute. Anyway, after her blessing, we had a get together at our place and it was way fun to have all of our fam and friends together for a afternoon of fun...it did get a little crazy at the end, but what Leavitt party doesn't end that way. All in all, Jersey dod great and by the end of the day, she was exhausted.

BIG SISTER

Baylee is THE BEST big sister. She is always telling Jersey that she is "just too cute for her own good" and is the best helper to me. Bay wants to be involved in bathing her and changing her diaper (can you imagine...grin) and will get me whatever I ask her. If I drew up the perfect daughter, it would be Baylee. I got too lucky with this one.

Vamping

Ok... if you've seen the T. V. show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then you will know what "vamping" is...grin. This is Jersey's first vamp. Isn't she too cute. I was soooo proud of her, i mean i was a little nervous. It was her VERY first vamp, but, in the end, she succeeded. Okay...I know, a little obsessed but i LUVED the show...I own all the seasons on DVD.:). Anywho, all of you with cute buddles of joy must try vamping with your kids, it's fun and silly and it will make you die laughing. Heck, anything Jersey does makes me laugh. Let me know how it goes...grin.

Ugly Smiles

One of the things that I just luv about Nathan, is his "willingness" to be silly with me. He is so easy going and chill that it cracks me up when he does silly faces like this with me. Man, this boy has come along way...grin. We seriuosly just laugh all the time and heck, if you can't laugh at yourself, then what the heck can ya do?

Wacky-Crazy Bjorklunds...and Jazz:)

So, I freakin love my family. As you can see, our sillines literally comes from the parents, without them, we, the kids, would be nothing...grin.
And Jazz-man Durney...well, she is like an honorary Bjorklund because of all the family trips she has been on lately. Plus she is one of THE funniest people i know. You really must meet her, she will make you fall off the floor, roll round and cry with laughter. Funny girl.

This is all the Leavitt ladies....we took family pictures in December. My amazing mother-in-law, Melanie is the gorgeous one in the middle. Kirsten is my sister-in-law and those two cute lil' gals are her wee ones, Indy and Iris (adorable names huh) . You can't tell, but it was so flippin cold out, we were all freezin our booties off!

Mother Like That

Now that I am a new mommy, I have had several deep thoughts about what kind of a mother I want to be. Of course I immediately thought of my mom because I have always thought that if I was half the woman and mother she is, I would be in great shape. Seriously though, I have always had a fabulous relationship with my ma, she is one of my bestest friends. I like to think that we have the type of relationship that Rory and Loreli have on the Gilmore Girls, he, he. She is my mom first, but always a friend I can count on. I new what a great mom she was, knew that I was lucky. However now that I'm a mom myself, I have realized what a truly amazing woman she is. As I was looking at Jersey, the thought came across my mind that my mom looked at me like this when I was Jersey's age. Then I thought about my sisters and cousins and friends and how they all must have felt when looking at their sweet little babies and I just have to say that you are all completely amazing women. It's the circle of life baby...and I am totally in it.

The Loves of my Life...Funny pic i know...but you gotta love em'.

Okay...I just have to go off on how much I love my family. Nathan is so amazing. He makes me smile and laugh all the time...I love to be with him. We just fit so perfectly together. I always wanted to have my husband be my best friend and he is....and it also helps that he is dang hot, I just can't get enough of him (grin). Baylee is too cute for words, I honestly couldn't ask for a better daughter. She is super sweet with Jersey, loves her a ton and is always wanting to give her hugs and smooches. She is so good about washing her hands and sanitizing them before she touches her though...it's adorable. Last, but certainly not least, my Jersey girl. She and I are tied to the hip...she is such a snuggle bug and because she is only 4 and half weeks old I give into her every command. I think she knows it too. It's incredible that their personalities are so apparent this early on. Jersey is definitely ALL girl, she has the wardrobe to prove it. I can already tell that she will take after her mommy and be a little high maintenance princess. This, of course, will be the only time I will admit she and I are high maintenance...grin...and that is my sweet fam. Gotta love em'.
