Our Love Day

We had a lovely Valentine's Day! The three of us celebrated Friday night with dinner at Olive Garden. When we came home Cory had some suprises for Jordyn and I. He got me some shampoo and conditioner that I have been wanting, a yoga DVD (it is SO hard!), some flowers, and he got Jordyn a cute little onesie.
Grandma and Grandpa Olsen sent Jordyn this darling Valentine's outfit, some books, suckers, and a rattle. We dressed Jordyn up and had a photo shoot. She looks SO cute!





On Valentine's morning Jordyn and I got up and made Cory some muffins and cut up some fresh fruit. Later that day my little sister and her fiance came to spend the weekend with us! We went to PF Chang's at 4:30 and they said the wait was an hour and forty five minutes; we didn't believe them so we decided we would wait. We waited too long and we were going to miss our movie, so we ended up eating a romantic dinner at Wendy's! Then we went to see He's Just Not that Into You; the movie wasn't anything spectacular.


Here is our yummy breakfast!

Throughout the weekend we hung out, ate lots, played games, and had a lot of fun! We are so glad that Ali and Gary came to visit. We can't wait to see you again! We are so excited for you guys to get married... especially because we get to go to Hawaii ;)


Ali and Gary read Jordyn her bedtime stories one night.

The Monday before Valentine's we had an FHE on families. We learned that love is what holds a family together and with love we can get through anything. Our activity for the week was a Wall of Love. Every day we would write something that we loved about someone in our family on the back of a heart and put it on the wall. It was really fun!

Albuquerque Thunderbirds

Cory has started two new internships this semester. One is at the University of New Mexico working with the NCAA Compliance Office. He is the FIRST intern they have ever had. He is meeting some great people and gaining awesome experience. His second internship is for the Albuquerque Thunderbirds. They are the D-League team for the NBA. The best part about this intern is that Jordyn and I get to go to the games and hang out with him! He had his first games last weekend so we got to see Daddy in ACTION!
For the first half of the game he video tapes the game!
Here is the stadium!

This is what Jordyn did to entertain herself at the game! She loves to play with her rattle and she loves to drool! She also wore her Addias track suit and shoes just to feel a little sporty at the game.

Mad Jordyn

Jordyn and I were laying on a blanket today playing with her toys and she started screaming. It was SO funny because every time I asked "are you mad?" she would scream. She also rolled over three time while we were playing. It is so fun watching her grow and learn new things. We love our little Jordyn Bug!

For the Grandparents

Here are some cute pictures and videos of Jordyn. She looks so big today! She is wearing her first outfit that isn't just a onesie and pants... it is a real big kid t-shirt. Jordyn is getting to such a fun stage where she can play with toys and interact with us! We are having a blast with our little girl. Hope the grandparents enjoy these, they will have to be enough until we come to visit, which will be very soon (we hope)! We miss you like CRAZY!
We took Jordyn to her two month appoinment on Tuesday (yes she is three months, but we were in Utah). Here are her stats:
Weight 13.2 lbs
Height 23 inches

She loves to hear our tongues click!

BEWARE: Spit up!

You will have to turn your head for this one!

I am Three Months Old!

Today I turned three months old. I am getting so big and learning a lot of new things. Here are some things that I like to do:

  • I love to suck on my hands, blow bubbles, stick out my tongue, and drool.
  • I can play with my animals on my bouncer; my favorite is the green elephant.
  • My mom and dad have noticed that I always reach for things with my left hand.
  • I now like to swing in my swing because it doesn't give me hiccups anymore.
  • I can take naps in my crib and even talk myself to sleep.
  • I spend the night in my pack 'n' play by mommy's bed and ever now and then she sneaks me in her bed to cuddle in the mornings.
  • I love bath time!
  • I like to listen to all of the books that mommy has.
  • I love playing with daddy and being silly.
  • I laughed for the first time the other day and mommy and daddy have been trying to get me to do it ever since; they look pretty silly!
  • I love to tell stories and usually wake up at 6:00 AM and tell a story then go back to sleep.
  • I love to smile and really like it when mommy or daddy clicks their tongue, I think it is funny
  • I don't really like laying down but would rather sit or stand... with some help of course!


Jordyn,

Mommy cannot believe that you are already three months old. You are getting SO big! I love seeing your cute personality come out. It melts my heart to see your big smile complete with your cute dimple. You make me so happy and I am so glad that Heavenly Father gave you to me. Keep growing strong and a having fun! I love you.

Winter Walks

I have come to love the weather in New Mexico! Since we have returned from the holidays it has been 60-70 degrees; so Jordyn and I have been taking walks around the park that is down the street. Jordyn loves the ride in her stroller and it give me some good exercises!

Here she is all bundled up and ready to go!
