The Kids

Jordyn is our little "palagi" girl. She has a pretty fair complexion compared to our other kids and her hair is alot lighter too. Of course she has my infamous nose that our kids can't escape and we think she looks identical to Teni. I love her curly hair and boy..oh..boy she can grub with the best of them (like her big sis Alyia). She is the perfect fit for our family and I can't wait to see her grow everyday.

Alyia, Teni, and their lil sis Jordyn

I had to put this picture up of Teni and Alyia. I think it captures the best of them when they are not screaming at each other or wrestling over toys. This is a rare moment so enjoy it while it last.

Making Her Debut....Jordyn Tutaga Worthen!!!!!

After a long 24 hour labor Jordyn finally made it to the real world. At exactly 8:11 pm on 08/02/08 Jordyn made her grand debut! She weighs 9 Lbs. 2 oz. and is 20 inches long. My doctor decided to induce me 1 1/2 weeks early to prevent me from having a large baby but of course like all my babies, they seem to have the mind set of "go big or go home." It was such a long process but well worth the wait. To make the time fly by I asked Troy if he could run to Walmart (at midnight) and buy "Breaking Dawn" for me and of course he was up to it because it was better then sitting in our hospital room waiting for hours. While Troy was waiting in line (150 people deep) my friend and hero Tiffany came to the rescue and got a copy for me at the Bloomington Walmart and brought it over to the hospital. She saved us alot of time and gave me something to do to keep my mind off the long wait (thanks Tiff), Troy was also happy that he was able to leave Walmart. When it was finally time for me to push, I only pushed twice and Jordyn came right out. I had some complications after the birth but recovered quickly (blood loss and vomiting), I even felt good enough to leave the very next day. Troy did great during the labor and delivery. He didn't faint this time around, but instead encouraged me the entire 2 pushes. Troy even cut the umbilical cord. Teni gets so excited every time he is around his little sister, while Alyia still has no clue who she is. We are so happy that Jordyn is a healthy baby but most happy because she is "our" baby!!!!

We Love You Jordyn!!!!!!!

It's Finally Here!!!!!

I am so sad that I will be in the hospital when "Breaking Dawn" comes out. I was invited to attend a "Breaking Dawn" party and I was so excited to go but I am scheduled for an inducement the day before. I was alittle worried that I would not be able to get the book because I did not preorder it so, I called Barnes n Noble and they assured me that I wouldn't have a problem purchasing one anyways. They are well prepared for St. George's big crowd and will have many copies instore. I can't wait to see what happens to Bella!!!!! Reading this book will give me something to do in the hospital and hopefully make the time fly by.

Fable Haven by Brandon Mull

About a week ago I finished reading all 3 books of the FableHaven series. I guess you can compare these books to Harry Potter or the Spiderwick Chronicles. I really enjoyed them and recommend these books to everyone that likes fantasy.

Celebrating Utah!!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun at the Washington City Parade. It got really hot towards the end of the parade but it was all worth it. We then headed to Jake and Dedy's house for a BBQ and swimming. We finally ended the day at Andrea's parents house for another BBQ and more swimming.

Our ward built their own handcarts to pull and push in the parade.

As candy was being thrown on the streets, Teni jumped right in and grabbed all that he could.

RAIN = FUN

For the past few days we've enjoyed cooling off in the rain. St. George has been extremely hot and we've been lucky to have some moisture. There's nothing better than 90 degree weather and rain, all at the same time.

Alyia had a great time (for about 10 min.) but than wanted to come inside where it was dry.

Alyia drying off and happy again

*BTW*

Congratulations to my friend Pam who just had a baby boy, Nathan Scott Dana. He weighed 8 lbs 7 0z and was 21 inches long!!!
