Brynja's Blessing

We had a wonderful day it was a little cold but it all went well. It was nice to have Papa and Nana there to be with us on that special day. I also want to thank my mom for making this wonderfully dress, Brynja looked so nice in it. any way we are all doing good and looking forward to Addisons Baptism.

Ron's New Job

Finally - after many years of praying and looking Ron has found a new job. He will start on April 28 at McCann Erickson in SLC. We are really excited as it will mean a raise and better benefits for our family. He has loved working at Corsetti Design the last 8 YEARS!!! He loves his clients there and his boss but time for a change. He will be riding the new train from Layton down to Salt Lake so the commute will be faster than the "olden days" Ron's 4 girls are all very proud of him and grateful to have such an amazing Dad and husband who works so hard to take care of us.
We love you Ron and know you will do a great job where ever you go.

Family Photos

We had a fun day and went to Target to get our photos done. Here are just a few of the good ones that I liked. Looks like everyone did a good job, even Brynja.

Happy Easter

Every month on the 24th we take a photo of Brynja with this huge Tigger to compare her size.  

This is her at 2 months on March 24, 2008.

We went to see Sally & Jason's new house in Springville last Friday while we where there we had fun dying eggs with all the kids.  This is Ron helping Brynja dye her very first Easter egg.

Happy 1st Easter Brynja!  Love, Mommy

Here is Addison & Kylee with their favorite eggs

Here are the 5 who were doing the dying - sorry about the  table stains Sally!!

Here is Brynja with her first Easter egg and her darling bunny shirt - thanks Amy!

Brynja's first bastket - thanks to the bunny for my new toys that I am way too young for, I can't wait to grow and play with them.  She loves looking at the little farm toy laying by her as the animals make their sounds.

What A Smile

Well it is time for another update of our family. Brynja has now almost grown out of her preemie clothes and is showing us a smile or two. Addie and Kylee are starting to get use to being big sisters. Kylee is very fond of being an older sister and loves to hold Brynja and carry her around all the time. We have to remind them that she is not a toy, (and as for the last photo Brynja has to remind Dad). We are a doing good and excited for Easter with Ronda's sisters, it will be nice to have everyone around. Enjoy some of our most recant shots.

Brynja showing us her big cheezer smile.

Addison was given the piece builder award for the month of February, for efforts to help other kids and to be a friend to others in her class and school. This award is only given once a month to only one kid per class so it is pretty cool.

Addison went crazy and sold 275 boxes just by herself.

Addison and her troop sold over 700 boxes at their two day cookie booth,
people must love girl scout cookies

Here is Brynja in Kylee's baby doll height chair, she is striking a pose, and wondering why her dad put her there, because she is a big girl now, weighing over 8lbs. Maybe she justs thinking about how much her family loves her and want her to play. Or she is thinking why don't you give me a real bottle instead of the little plastic one.

Our New Cousin & Nephew

Well it happened. On the 29th of February Adam Jones was born. We are excited to have him join the clan. Addison & Kylee were very excited to have another cousin to play with. enjoy our latest photos, of the latest arrival of the Jones clan and congratulations to Dan And Leesa.

One Month Old

Well it has been a month since Brynja has arrived. She is doing great, eating good and as Kylee and Addison say she is a poop machine. Mom and Dad get some sleep but it is interrupted still. Ronda is still healing and is feeling good enough to run errands here and there as long as Dad can stay home with Brynja. She is not fully recovered yet, she still has an uncooperative spot on her incision that doesn't want to close up correctly, but it is looking better every day. We want to thank everyone who has helped us out, it has been a great blessing.
