Coleby's Blessing

What a special day! I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present than to have all my family and friends together celebrating our sweet Coleby's blessing. Quinn gave Coleby a beautiful blessing and Coleby was just an angel all day. It has been so much fun watching Coleby's personality come out. He is definately more calm and mellow than his older brothers and he puts up very well with Maxwell wanting to hold hom and "maul" him all the time. Kyler has been such a good helper and he loves to hold Coleby and sing to him. We are really enjoying Coleby.
This is Coleby's great grandma and grandpa Newton. Granddpa's first name is Joseph and is who Coleby Joseph is named after. We hope that Coleby will grow up to be as charitable and loving as grandpa is.

Coleby laying on his special blanket crocheted just for him by his great grandma Jorgensen. It is beautiful!
THis is the blanket before Coleby was born. I just didn't get a picture of great grandma & grandpa Jorgensen with Coleby and the blanket.

My friend Viv did these darling announcements for us. WE just love them. She took pictures of my 3 boys too and I can't wait to get them on my wall. After being so sick for several weeks after Colebys' birth and then Christams was here I feel like I m finally getting around to picking the pictures we want. SO I just wanted to post Colebys birth announcement. Hopefully there will be more blog updates to come soon.

Happy Holidays

Coleby Joseph Sperry

Our little bundle of joy arrived Tuesday, November 10th at 11:16 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz and 19in long. We were all in complete shock that he was not 9 lbs. A very pleasent surprise...especailly for mom. He is perfect and so far a very good sleeper. We hope that he keeps that up. We are so thrilled to have Coleby here and his brothers could not be happier. Max can not stop asking to hold his baby brother and Kyler just gives him loves and loves and more loves. Now we are home and real life with three kids begins. We feel so blessed to have Coleby in our home he is a true miracle.
Thanks to all our family and friends who have been and continue to be so supportive and helpful.

Here are some pictures and hopefully there will be more to come.





Kyler and Maxwell were so excited for baby Coleby to come home. It was the most precious moment to have our little family all together for the first time. The boys could not stop holding baby brother and they couldn't stop giving him loves. It was so wonderful. THey are already such big helpers and they are so happy to have a little brother.

Preschool Halloween Fieldtrip

For Maxwell's preschool we went to Engh gardens. They had so many fun things for the kids to explore and do. The pictures will tell all. Since Kyler was out of school, he was able to come along with us. That made Max really excited! They had a pirate ship that the kids could play on and pirate music playing it was "spooky". They had a hay stack maze that the kids could go through and so many fun skeletons and pirates around to find. Pumpkins were everywhere and it just felt like fall...except for the freezing cold temp. But we had a blast! It was fun to see Max so excited to be with his school friends and to have his big brother there to be apart of it. I just can't believe how old Maxwell is looking these days. I guess he is going to be a big brother soon enough. Thanks Joyschool friends for such a fun fieldtrip!

Kindergarten Halloween

This year I was able to help in Kyler's class for the Halloween party. It was so much fun. His teacher is so great. She was dressed up as a bumblebee. While the kids were waiting for the parade to begin she had them sing this cute halloween song and each child got to stand up and say what they were dressed as. It was so cute and so much fun for the kids. Max came with me and he had a great time too. Grandma J. came to watch the parade with us. It is so fun that the school is so close to grandma and grandpa's house.




This was a fun game we played called pass the pumpkin. When the music stopped the kids with the pumpkins were out, but they got a prize when they got out. It was fun and guess who won the game...Kyler was the last one standing! Way to go KY!

Jorgensen "Spooky" Halloween Party

My grandparents are the best at getting the family together for hollidays abd birthdays. Every year you can bet there will be a halloween party. This year it was so fun to watch all the kiddos running around in thier cosstumes trying to stay away from grandpa Jorgensen who was dressed like an alien. Max was a little concerned about that. Grnadma was dressed and the bad wolf and had the older grandsons parade around in scary monster costumes. I thought for sure Kyler & Max would have nightmares,but they seemed ok. Dinner was pizza with spiders, and salad with eyeballs, and pumpkin pie. It was delicious!
The kids got to decorate pumpkins and had a blast playing together. No one wanted to go home, but it was a school night. THanks grnadma & grandpa for such a fun night!

37 weeks

As it is only obvious I am about ready to pop. This picure is four of us Jorgensen girls that are expecting. My cousin next to me is due in January. My sister is due the beginning of march and my other cousin in due the end of march. It is fun to experience these exciting moments with family. Although the pictures are not my favorite right about now. How could I possibly get any bigger??

3 Weeks and Counting

I can not believe that we are down to 3 weeks. TIme seems to be going way too fast yet, at the same time, way too slow. I wish that I could be one of those women who don't have to experience the last few weeks of pregnancy but once again I am sure I will have to be induced to get this little guy here. I have been having so many contractions and pain, that you would think something was going on, but no. Just the end of the journey pains i guess. But at least I know he will be here on the 10th of November at the latest.
We are getting so excited. Kyler can't wait to help me with his baby brother, max says that he will help, but we will see about that. I think he is going to be a little shocked at how much time mom has to spend with the baby and not with him. I hope that I can do this. 3 kiddos sounds overwhelming!

Friend Halloween Party

We always have such a good time when we get together with this group of friends! We had dinner, carved pumpkins, the kiddos made darling finger puppets, and we played beatles rockband...or the kids played it most of the time. It wsa such a fun night. Thanks Randy and Viv for getting us together. Thanks Viv for the pictures...I hope your ok that I got them. She is an awesome photographer!! We had a great night catching up and laughing like always.
If you can't read what our signs say on our costumes they say: on mine: I'm Hefty on Quinns: I'm Glad. I got that idea from an aunt and uncle many years ago.

BUNKBEDS!

In preparation for "baby cupcake" (as he is refered to right now) to join our family, we moved Max into Ky's room and put their beds into bunkbeds. The boys seem pretty excited about it. I hope that it continues to be that way. My hope is that Max will sleep better, he keeps saying that Kyler will keep him safe. It is so cute. I remember being in these bunkbeds with my brother Jeff all those years ago. We had some fun times together. I hope that Ky and Max will too.

Joyschool for Maxwell!

Yeah, it is finally Max's turn to go to school. He has been so patient, but very eager for his turn to go to school. He was ready to go when Kyler left for school today. HE is such a bundle of energy and so much fun to be around. I am happy to see him so excited to learn and be a big boy. I just can't believe how fast he is growing up! THere are 5 kids in his little Joyschool, which means I only teach every 5 weeks, which is great. I will have 2 days a week to myself until November. I think I will take a nap during that time!

Kindergarten Here We Come

Kyler was so excited to go to school, but even more he was excited to ride the bus to school. There were no tears shed until the bus came and then he got a little nervous, but thanks to a couple of friends he got on. Quinn and I followed the bus and met up with him at school, where he told us how cool the bus ride was. I did shed a few tears myself, but I had to stay strong for my tender hearted Kyler!





Kyler and his friend Wyatt. They are in the same class and so excited to be together.



This is what he did his first day of school. He was so excited to tell me all about it. I am happy and surprised to say that I did not fall apart while he was at school. I just can't believe that he is in Kindergarten. He is growing up so fast and I am trying to enjoy each moment.
