Easter hunt

At least it's not her nose

She didn't care too much for the easter bunny

It was a windy morning

Last Picture

Now that Sadie is here, I cannot believe she fit in that belly!

Our family

I cannot believe how big Jane seems compared to Sadie

Jane was obsessed with the hand sanitizer in the hospital

I am waiting for the big C-section!!

Baby Girl

We are proud to say we have another healthy beautiful little girl. She was born at 4:23pm on Feb 29th. She weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and seemed like the tiniest thing I'd ever seen. The surgery went well with no complications. Her name is Sadie Jo Layton. What a blessing!!!!

Jane took a strong interest in giving Sadie her binky

She has hair!

Why bedrest isn't so bad!

The ultimate day of rest and relaxation. We went and got pedicures and then sat out and lounged in the sun by the pool for a couple of hours. You can't do that in many places during mid February ( I love this place). I can't believe you got another belly shot out of me. ONLY 10 days! Less by the time others read this. My appointment for a C-section is February 29th at 1:30.

What's cooking?

Today my mom went to use her microwave and found a suprise. Jane has a few pairs of princess dress up shoes, and she secretely hid them in the microwave without any of us knowing it. She is SO sneaky (I don't know where she gets it?!?!?)

Grandma "Omi" recently had knee surgery and Jane would always steel her crutches away

Every day Grandpa Bob takes Jane on a walk

They wipe her out and she falls asleep with Grandma

Naughty or Nice

Is this the face an angel turned demon. I mean that in the most loving way. I can't seem to get angry either, all I do is laugh so hard I am worried I'll go into labor.

Still running! This is her favorite activity... take or do something you are not supposed to do or have, and then run. Notice the crayon in hand.

Getting caught in the act

Jane colored all over a door at my parents house

I believe she knows that what she did is naughty!

So she ran away from me

What I was doing ten years ago-
1998, awhh... good ol' cedar city. I was in my second year of college in a small town in Southern Utah. I had just gotten my new car, a white Ford Mustang. (which I didn't sell until after I was married because Todd didn't fit in it very well). I lived with my cousin Lisa. The first two years of college I didn't do much, but the Spring of that year was different. I finally met some new people that I really looked forward to spending time with, and was loving being at SUU. So I ditched the plan of transferring to UCLA or CalPoly and I embraced my time in that small Utah town. I also thought I was going to be a physical therapist.



What I was doing five years ago-
2003- A newlywed in Temecula, Ca...I was happy to be back in California. I was waiting to hear from Dental Hygiene schools to see where we would be for the next few years (turned out to be Pasadena). I was working for a fun and wild female dentist who kept work very interesting. Do you have any idea how many ants there are in Temecula?



What I was doing one year ago-
We had been living in Moorpark for just a few months. Jane was starting to get past the "baby" stage, so we were happy to find out we were pregnant. If you are wondering how come this baby has a one year gestation, she doesn't. We suffered a couple of miscarriages. Though much happier news would be awaiting us a few months down the road. I was working maybe 1 or 2 days a week.



What I was doing yesterday-
This is actually pretty funny. Todd and I have a very small backyard. When we first moved in 1/3 of it was a concrete patio area and the rest was towering, overpowering, obnoxious plants (many with thorns on them). Jane never could go back there and play so I have had my heart set on putting grass where all those plants are. We finally started a few weeks ago. Don't worry I haven't done any of it, I am just a spectator. All the men in the family have been working hard, including Grandpa. Last week we hauled in a few yards of dirt/compost. Well Yesterday was the day to work on the sprinkler system. Apparently there was a leak that needed to be fixed. My dad had a plan, but somehow they ended up flooding the backyard. The only way to stop the water was turn off the source of the water at the public fire hydrant. After hours of work I think we are still where we started before the day began. My dad said "sometimed it takes 1 step backward before you can take 2 steps forward". I better tell you how grateful I am for all the hard work my family puts into our home improvements. Since everything else turns out wonderful I know this will too. I should post a picure of the swamp in my backyard!



I enjoy-
Cuddling! It is probably my favorite thing. Todd is an excellent writer, so I live for his little stories and love notes (rare as they may be). A bath and a good book. Eating out and having a really really good meal. An evening jog. Todd doing dishes. When my US weekly magazine comes in the mail. I LOVE finding Janes tiny little socks around the house.



Five TV shows I love-
#1 is the Bachelor. Lost, 24, the Hills (embarrasing), and I watch a lot of Fox news since the election process has started.



Five things I hate-
I hate it when someone tries to touch my knees. It sounds weird but it gives me the heebie jeebie's. I can't explain it but i hate it. I hate parsley in my food. I hate when a patient eats an onion burrito before getting their teeth cleaned. I hate when someone near me eats nacho's or a hot dog in a movie theater. While I am pregnant at least, I HATE Guitar Hero



5 biggest joys in my life-
Todd, my kids, The Church, my family, my health.



I tag- Emily, Andrea, Lisa, Nikki, and Sarah

Baby Shower

My good friends at church threw me a baby shower. Enjoy the belly shot, it might not happen again!

Daddy's girl

The pro's to living at mom and dad's

I have to admit that staying with my folks during my pregnancy has many benefits. One of the best parts is Jane getting to spend so much time with her grandparents and great grandparents. She has really taken a liking to spending her time with so many people who love her. With so many different grandparents, Jane has simplified it by calling her Greats "Bob" and "Omi". I have included some pictures of her favorite activities. Each morning when my mom gets Jane out of bed she goes through a list of all the names of people she knows and asks where they are. Lately I am down to 4th or 5th on the list, but Bob is usually one of the first. She follows him around everywhere, like a little shadow. When Grandma comes down to do her exercises Jane does them right along with her. It is my Grandparents 65th wedding anniversary and it reminds me how lucky we are to still share our lives with them. I love you Grandma Omi and Grandpa Bob!

Doing sit ups. Grandma doesn't want anyone to notice that she undoes her zipper while she works, so don't say anything.
