Shaun and the MTC

Oh how I miss this boy but I am so proud of him. Shaun went into the MTC on April 1st and all of us were able to go down to the MTC. I will miss him but he is loving it and is so pumped to go to Houston Texas! Good for him!

Brooklyn refusing to smile for the camera! GRRR!

Baylee and Papa!

The nieces and nephew minus Jaxsen. Too cold for him to pose for a pic!

Mom and Dad so proud of their missionary!

We are moving!

We have decided to put our house up for sale and move to my parents house until June. We are trying to get out of as much debt as possible and when June comes we will figure out what comes next. It is pretty tight having 3.5 kids and all of our stuff in two bedrooms but we are making it work. Another humbling experience. Don't you love those!

Jaxsen's Blessing

On Sunday we had Jaxsen's blessing along with my brother Shaun's Farwell. I really apprieciated Shaun being willing to share his day with our son. Jaxsen looked like quite a stud in his little tux complete with tails! Loved it! He had three generations of grandfathers in the circle with him which was very special.My parents

The Boys chillin! Sleepy boy!

I have been saying I was going to post pics of my little guy- so here is a few! Keep in mind I am not great at taking pics! He is growing like a weed! On March 2nd he had an appointment his weight was 9 lb 4 oz, on March 5th I had to take him in for PKU test and he was 9 lb 8 oz. Then on March 9th Baylee had an appointment and I had him weighed and he was 9lb 11 oz! He is a tank!

My Boy!

In recovery the first pics of mom and her boy! A proud sis!

Couple of pics of Jaxsen. I promise to take more and post them. The first pics with the hat made him look kinda girlish! I've done the girl thing he is all BOY! He has done great being home and loves to eat, as soon as those eyes are open he is searching for the food! He doesn't fit into any newborn clothes which has made it quite challenging to clothe him because I wasn't planning on this. We make do!

Gandma's 80th!

Grandma and Lucy!

The older girls! The Girls!

We celebrated Grandma's 80th b-day the day after Christmas even though she didn't actually turn 80 until January 9th. It was a great night with lots of family who love her. Shaun made a video for her to display her wonderful family.

Baby Jaxsen

These are a few pictures of my new son Jaxsen Paul Mortensen. He was born at 8:00 this morning and he weighs 9 pounds 3 ounces. He's a little tanker and he already loves to eat!
