Happy Big 2nd Birthday Teni!!!!

CHEESE
A Cars Rug From Grandma and Papa Worthen

We celebrated Teni's 2 years old birthday tonight. It was really low key, seeing how we just got back from the hospital a few nights ago. Teni recieved "Cars" toys and clothes, which he was thrilled to have. Tom came over with Abbey and Austin to celebrate. It didn't last very long but was short and sweet. We will definitely have to make up for it next year. "Don't worry Teni your 3 year birthday party will be a great event."

Presenting Alyia Jayde Worthen

Alyia Jayde Worthen was born at 1:52 PM on February 21, 2007. She weighed 8lbs 4oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful! This delivery was nothing like my first. First of all, Troy totally fainted in the middle of me getting my epidural. Luckily, two nurses were behind him to catch his fall. I couldn't help but laugh, I guess seeing the epidural needle just did not sit well with him. I was kind of happy for the distraction Troy caused because it took my mind off the long needle being injected in my back. Alyia came fast and easy (the way I prefer it). She was perfectly healthy and strong. I held her as soon as I delivered her and I even got to nurse her right away (she's a natural). Teni spent the night with his cousins Abbey, Austin, and Taylor. Troy was with me all day long but would go home to rest (the couch in my room is not comfortable at all, we learned that with our first baby). I stayed at the hospital for 2 nights then made my way home with our new addition. We are so excited to have our little princess with us. Teni loves his little sister and watches every move she makes. He is so gentle and kind to her.

So Many Expressions

Teni is so hilarious, he just loves to pose for the camera. He definitely is a "Worthen" when it comes to being camera ready. When I took these pictures I just laughed and laughed because he was so animated and it truly captured his personality.

Merry Christmas 2006!!!!!

Good Morning!!! Santa Left Goodies Under The Christmas Tree

Trying Alittle Too Hard

Not Trying Hard Enough
Christmas was quite the whirlwind this year. We celebrated with Troy's family and had non-stop activities to accomplish. We did so much that I was happy to have it end... Don't get me wrong, I had a blast but all parties must come to an end and I was ready for this party to stop. Christmas dinner was delicious and I am sure I can live off the food I ate for a whole month. We rode snowmobiles (thanks Tom and Hayley), we played games at Matt and Monica's, we than donated gifts to a needy family in West Valley (best experience), and most importantly we spent alot of time together as a family.

I finally finished Alyia's room. I painted her crib white which was originally a light tan. I also painted her dresser and changing table white and replaced the knobs on the dresser. I painted the walls a bright green. We bought a very comfortable recliner that was absolutely necessary for a nursery. Hayley gave us Abbey's old crib set that came with a darling rug to match. It took alot of work and time to finish Alyia's room but was worth it.

Happy Halloween!!!

Today our ward put together a trunk or treat and guess who Teni went as? That's right....Superman. He was so excited to see all the different costumes everyone had. Even parents got into the action. Trunks of cars were decorated with ghouls, spiders, skulls, and everything scary you can think of. Our ward gathered at a large parking lot in a park. So many people showed up that we barely had enough candy to give out. It took awhile for Teni to come down from his sugar high but what's Halloween without all the SUGAR!
