"I hear your mouth moving but all I hear is Blah, Blah, Blah"

Last night, I was going through some of James' things (I've been trying to clean my house so it doesn't look so cluttered, being a tiny house and all). Well, in one of the boxes, there was a pair of earmuffs, headphones, whatever you want to call them, to protect your ears when you shoot guns. James, being the weirdo that he is :) decided it would be cute to put them on Jenna. Well, at first I thought he was just being mean, because those things were huge on her and probably tight, not to mention she couldn't hear anything. But since she was so darn cute, I wanted everyone to see it.

To Grandmother's house we go!!!!!

I haven't written at all this last week because Jenna and I decided to go to Grandma Forsberg's house for Spring Break. I know, lame excuse for not writing because she does have a computer. We just didn't really feel like it. We just chilled and had a whole lot of fun. So this post is all about how much fun we had.


It was fun to see the family again. They couldn't believe how much Jenna has grown. She really has too. We had a fun time with all the girls last week. We did all sorts of things. We played games, such as Monopoly (only at Megan's request because Niki hates losing all the time) and PayDay. Scattergories really had our brains going good and Mom (or Grandma Forsberg, to Jenna) beat us all good. Jenna had lots of fun playing with all the new toys that Grandma had accumulated. Some of them are still a little advanced for her, but she had fun anyways. Her favorite toy was the star tower with the smiley face on top. The best part about it was that it sung!!!!

Now we know why they always put faces on baby toys. They absolutely love it!!!


What was funny about all the toys? Well, I brought a ton of toys and with those AND all the ones that Grandma had, what she played with the most was..................

.....................THE DIAPER BAG!!!!!

That's right. She loves playing with that thing. Why? I have absolutely no idea.

Little miss Jenna had a ton of fun playing with her aunts. Sondra, Megan, and Kaylee all loved the fact that we stayed the entire week!!!!

It's nice to spend time with everyone as much as we can because Jenna grows so fast in such a short time!!!!

One day during the week, Aunt Megan decided that she needed to play with Niki's hair. At first, it was great for both of us. I love the feeling of someone running their fingers through my hair. Not long after, I ended up with a ponytail full of hair right on the top of my head.

Not too attractive if you ask me. Now, if you think this is bad, just wait. Later, things just got a little out of control..........................

I know, crazy huh? Who would have thought that Megan would do that to ME!!!!!!!!!!





Well, if you think it looks funny, you are not the only one.................

You should have seen Jenna's reaction to it!!!! She was pretty tired right then, I could tell, but she saw that thing sticking straight out of my head and all she wanted was to play with it. She even decided to try and taste it. She slobbered all over my hair, but realized she didn't really like how it tasted.

Sunday homecoming

Since Anne has come home, and Jill came home for this last weekend, we decided it was a good time to get a picture of the Leon Baker family all together for the first time.....

This picture was taken at Jacob Jones' wedding open house on the 14th.

On Sunday, Anne gave her homecoming talk in ML 5th ward which we attended that week. Following the meeting, we went over to Leon and Lorraine's house for dinner. It was amazing. We had roast and mashed potatoes at Anne's request since Italy doesn't have much of either.......

The hat Jenna is wearing is one that Anne sent last year. It is a french hat, but I thought this Sunday was the perfect time to wear it.

Here are also some beautiful pictures from the open house. I don't have anything to say to go with them, but I wanted them to be here so everyone could see them.

James, Anne, and Jill

Mommy really loves her baby girl

The Baker girls!!!!!

ANNE'S HOME!!!!!!!

It's been a week already, but ANNE IS HOME!!! For those of you who don't know, Anne is Anne Baker. She is James' sister and my sister-in-law!!! She got home from her mission in Milan, Italy on Friday the 13th (of March). My mother and father-in-law, Jill (my other sister-in-law), James, Jenna and I all went to the airport to pick her up in Spokane at......... 11:00PM!!!!!!!!

It may have been late, but it sure was worth it. We had a blast. We went to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse and watched our food get cooked right in front of us.

Then we went to get milkshakes and off to the airport. It's a good thing we went when we did because Anne's plane arrived about 15 minutes ahead of schedule!!! We got there just in time to change Jenna. When we saw Anne come down the escalator, she looked so excited. She came right over to Leon and Lorraine and gave them huge hugs and all started to cry!!!! They were tears of joy most definitely! She then hugged Jill and James. Next, she went for.....nope not me......Jenna!!! She was so excited to see her neice for the first time in real life. (yes, Anne and I had met only a few times before she left on her mission, but James and I hadn't even started thinking about dating by that time. Jill and I were just good friends.) Jenna loved seeing her semi-new aunt too.

The trip home was definitely late, but with all the talking and catching up that was going on, it didn't seem long at all. When we arrived, Anne got to see her beautiful Welcome Home sign.......

It will be so nice to get to know my other sister-in-law. There is so much to get to know about each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy Naked BABY!!!!

I know these aren't pictures you all want to see, but I thought they were adorable. Jenna, like most babies (I think) loves crawling around without her clothes on. The other day, I was getting ready to give her a bath. I laid down up against the couch and took some pictures of her naked on the floor. The first is from a distance, but as I took more and more pictures, she noticed the camera I was holding and started coming towards me. Pretty soon, she was so close to me I couldn't get her whole face in the picture, so I stopped. It was so cute. She loves my camera or anything else with batteries, lights, or that are black.

New 2 Me!!!!

Hey everyone!!!! I am so excited to be telling you that after over a year of marriage, paying for hospital bills, James' stolen truck and borrowing my sister-in-law's car............

I finally have a new car. It is a white 2005 Chrysler Pacifica!!!! It is amazing. It looks very new inside and out. Getting it has been quite the adventure. James and I have argued over which kind of car to get. He didn't want a caravan because he just didn't want to be a "van man." I know weird huh? Well, he didn't want a car because he says he's too big for them. He is pretty big, but I think he just wanted to frustrate me. (No one else's husband does that right?) It's perfect for us because it gets good gas mileage for when we visit family. It has one less seat than a caravan, but I can fit 4 carseats/boosters in it. We can grow a while before we'll need something bigger. (Hopefully it takes us a while to grow out of it.) Well anyways, we test-drove this Pacifica a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have the money for it at the time. Now that James has been paid for his potatoes from last year, we could finally go to the dealership and pay cold hard cash for it!!! It's amazing that not only do a have a new car, but my budget is not screwed up over it. We owe absolutely nothing!!! I love it. It's been a long wait, but it certainly is worth it!!!!!

Rambo baby!!!!

In case you haven't noticed, I love putting headbands on Jenna's head. Sometimes they are flowers, sometimes plain, and sometimes bows. Today she had on a brown polka-dotted headband with a bow on it. With all of her rolling around and playing with the couch, the headband ended up on her head backwards. James took on look at her and said, "She looks like Rambo!!" I was stunned, but she really did with that headband across her forehead and the bow in the back!!!

All Caught Up !!!!

It was so funny today, after she woke up from her nap, Jenna was playing around with the corner of the blanket. Then she rolled over and got caught up in it.

Then she rolled again ......

....And again!!!

We love her so much, but she is so soooooo silly!!!!

Our little munchkin

Our little girl is getting so big and changing so much. I am so sorry for those of you who haven't gotten to see her for a while or haven't seen her at all. She is so cute and loveable. We love her huge smile and giggly laugh. She definitely has a set of pipes!! Here she is today nice and tired. (She had just woken up from her afternoon nap.)

YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!!!!!

Now that Jenna's over five months old, I thought it was past time to feed her solid food (cereal). She kinda liked it, but wasn't exactly sure how much she liked it. She wouldn't eat very much, but she has since eaten more and I think she's getting used to it.

She likes to move it, move it!!!!

Like I've been saying, Jenna is moving a whole bunch. In this video, I am moving our TV remote forward just as she gets close to it. She gets a little frustrated, but I think it's hilarious that she wants it so bad that she scoots her way towards it and finally reaches it. Yes, I did eventually leave it on the ground and let her get to it and play with it!! I'm not that mean.

She just keeps growing and surprising us!!!!

I still can't believe how much Jenna is growing and how fast she is doing it. She has so many fat rolls, but she might be slowing down a little bit. She is moving more and more everyday. A couple of days ago, she really started sitting up all by herself. She is still a little bit wobbly here and there, but for the most part, she can keep herself from falling over. And if she does fall over, she doesn't fall too hard because she using her hands to brace herself. Besides, she's pretty padded all over :)
