Tinkerbell & Daddy

For all you seeing this: this little girl is a love machine. She carries some kind of doll...tinkerbell...baby...something wrapped in a blanket....hugging and kissing it constantly.
And not to mention she LOVES her Daddy too....watching TV.
And just loving him to love him





And here's my new favorite picture ever!!!!!!!

My two angels!!!!!!! I am so blessed!!!!!!

Sledding is "snow" much fun!!!!!

Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago when we actually had snow left...Jill gave Jenna this inflatable sled for Christmas and she loves being pulled around in it...snow or no snow.



Our little girl is so cute....but we are definitely a little biased....her big smile just melts our hearts.


Here's some Daddy-daughter time out in the snow!!!!!! Daddy sure does love that Jenna loves being outside so much....his little tom-boy...whatever... :)


And these are just me messing around with my new Christmas present....yep a camera....
Nikon D5000....definitely not a professional yet....but it sure is nice to have a nice piece of equipment to help me feel good :)
Daddy's and Jenna's feet are such different sizes I just had to take a picture!!!!!

A Quick Update!!!

So, everyone!!! It's been a while since I posted anything, but here's a short update for what happened in our family in 2010!!!!
First, James and I went to Twin Falls for Derek & Molly Bedke's wedding on December 16th, following which we flew to Las Vegas for Quinn & Brittany's on the 18th. We had a blast....left the 2 year old with Grandma Forsberg and enjoyed some time with just the two of us!!!
One more place to check off my "Been There" list:

Once we got back, it was all Christmas preparations...so much to do....so
little time before the big holiday!!!
I guess it's a good thing that Santa had his little helper!!!! It was awesome that Jenna didn't cry this year, considering her close relationship with the man in the red suit!!! :)
Christmas morning was a ton of fun. Jenna loved all her presents.....but she did get tired of opening so many and not getting to play with everything!!!! Santa brought her a new cradle for her baby dolls and a new big girl bed with Tinkerbell bedding!!!!!
(Do notice her Tinkerbell PJ pants that Mommy made....and made some for mommy too!!!!!)
Once the Christmas celebrations were done, James and I started packing for our 3rd Anniversary getaway!!! That's right, 3 years already!!!! We just can't believe it....sometimes it feels like it's been forever, but mostly it's just flown by!!!!
The two of us took some snowmobiles, some sleeping bags, extra clothes and food and made our way to Reecer Creek (in the mountains above Ellensburg) to stay in a cabin that we rented up there. Isn't it just beautiful with all that snow????
And then.......our anniversary getaway turned into an 11-year old scout outing!!!!!! That's right, Leon and 12 other scouts and adult leaders came up to the cabin and stayed the night with us there....I was the only girl with all these boys!!!!!!



After all the excitement of the snowmobile trip, we had one day to
get back to things before the party began again!!!!!!!!!!
New Year's Eve was pretty fun too!!!!!!! We went over to Anne and Kalvin's house for Chico's pizza and playing games. Jenna especially loved the PS2 Just Dance part of the night!!!!! We were all entertained just watching her move in ways that none of us thought she'd ever be able to....due to the fact that neither one of her parents have any rhythm or dance abilites at all.... (Lori, Mckenzie, and Danielle: maybe there is some hope for her to have dancing talents!!!)





After all the dancing, James blew up some fireworks outside as we rang in the New Year with a BANG!!!!!!! At least there was no fire involved with these fireworks :)

New Baby news!!!!!!

Oh yeah everyone!!!!! I forgot......for anyone who might not know yet....I'm pregnant.....20 weeks...due March 24th.....and today......we found out that we're having a............








BOY!!!!!!!!
Yep, that's right....another James is on his way to this world.....I know....some of you are going.....oh great!!!! I'm actually pretty excited!!!!! It's going to be fun....and I love that there's going to be another one of my lovely men in this world!!!!!!

A Very Baker Halloween!!

Here's Jenna actually working on carving her own pumpkin.....or at least taking all the nasty stuff out of the middle....she actually really liked that part....kind of funny watching her take it out and put it in the bucket



and the finished products!!!!!! (Jenna, Mommy & Daddy top to bottom)




Halloween Night!!!! (well the night before actually....because of the whole halloween on Sunday thing!!!!)




Halloween was so much fun for all of us this year!!!! I was a little nervous about taking Jenna outside in the cold due to the fact that she just had pneumonia for the 2nd time in six months...but we didn't stay out too long...just went to the 5th ward Halloween party "witch" was absolutely awesome!!!!! We had a lot of fun...we decorated a table of our own....and thanks to Lorraine for manning it for us!!!!! :) We came home for waaaaaaaayyyy too much candy for just Jenna so I guess it worked out that she has a pregnant mommy and candy-loving daddy who could help her out with that!!! :)

A short update!!!!

Lots of things have happened since the last time I blogged.....I know...i'm really bad...but you all knew that already :) Anways....since i last wrote...Jenna turned 2 years old!!!!!!! I know, crazy huh??? Well here's a few pictures from her TinkerBell party....more will come soon...as soon as I get them from a friend :) She got lots of clothes.....three shopping carts with food to go along with the play kitchen that James and I got for her....thanks for the presents everyone!!!!









Me and Jenna with Baby Iris Downs....Jenna is getting much better with babies...not quite as crazy when she gets around them....still loves them, but doesn't hurt them in all her excitement

Below are a couple of pictrues of Jenna helping her Mommy can tomato sauce....actually we both had tons of fun (pretty pathetic when a 2 year old keeps you company) She's such a good little helper!!!!

Finally an update for everyone!!!

I know, I know, it's about time, right. I hope that you all haven't given up on me and are actually going to check this!!!!

Anyways, a whole lot has happened in the six months that I haven't posted anything. Jenna is growing like crazy every day. But, no, she's not talking very much yet. She says a few words every now and then, but mostly it's squealing and nodding her head in answer to our questions.

In May, we went to Utah for Reese Baker's wedding. Then, Jenna and I went down again in the middle of May to watch my two sisters play in and win the State Tournament for Idaho High School Softball. The next day, we also witnessed Sondra's graduation from High School. June was completely full of stuff all the time. We had volleyball camp, scout day camp, ward activities, baby showers, and all sorts of other things. We celebrated Father's day and then my 22nd birthday. Then there was the 4th of July (keep looking for pictures about that!!!)

And here are some pictures of our wonderful camping vacation in Silver Creek, Idaho for the Forsberg Family Reunion!!!!!

Everyone spent tons of time playing card games, stupid and funny as they were.


The tiny little witch of the west!!!! (under the tent sides)

Jenna loves budding into everyone's business!!!

And here's the funniest coolest woman in camp!!! We love you Grandma!!!





It's not camping with the Forsberg family without the entertainment of the hammocks!!!!







So intrigued by Aunt Kaylee brushing her teeth.

Jenna playing with my cousin Ella....her best friend/enemy all week at camp:









Ella and Jenna on the front steps to Grandma and Grandpa's trailer.





The men and their fun playing horseshoes!!!! Silly Daddy!!!!!

Our way crazy new game this year at Silver Creek was brought by the Orchard boys.

It was called "Mountain Cricket." It is a combination of baseball, golf, cricket, and bowling. And it's pretty much impossible to explain in words, so here's some pictures to help:









James was definitely out!!!!!!










It wouldn't be Silver Creek without the unbelievably cold CREEK!!!!!! This year, it was crazy colder than before and pretty high too!!!!

Jenna and Great-grandpa Forsberg


Just because we're camping doesn't mean we can't go to bed all clean and fresh!!!!!



Grandpa Forsberg and Jayce are way out of their league!!! Call in the back up!!!! It doesn't matter how many times you get hit with the creek water, it is still freezing every time.









This year, James remembered that he really likes fishing. So, no bored time this year, just fishing. At first they were only 6 inches long, then they increased to 7 and then on to 9!!!!!

Our little girl was a wonderful little camper!!!!
