So... today I was showering. I felt a few cold drops on my head and someone giggling outside the shower. Yeah, it was Nicholas. He's funny like that sometimes you know? Well, then the little drops became handfuls of cold water. Then they became cups of COLD water. And I'm screaming at him from inside the shower. Ha.. you can only imagine.
Well I thought it was funny, that's why I'm writing about it. I might not think it's funny WHILE it's happening, but I always laugh afterward. He's just so darn cute and he's got this cute little smirk on his face after like a little kid acting all innocent, when in reality he knows EXACTLY what he's doing.
Anyways, this went on for about 10 minutes. Back and forth, back and forth. Nicholas would go get cold cups of water to dump on me in the shower. And I'm quickly trying to wash my hair and get out of that shower! Finally he let me enjoy the last.. oh.. minute of my shower. I quickly went to grab my towel when... yup the games weren't over. He asked, "Do you want your towel?" all sweet and innocent.
I thought he was going to run away with it, but he didn't... he so very nicely handed it to me. :)
To quickly sum things up he had also drenched my towel in cold water. Then when I asked for a new one, he brought me a tiny little hand towel. ha. Then he realized he was in trouble when he saw we didn't have any clean shower towels... so I ended up having to use his to dry off, which was still somewhat wet from the NICE, WARM, RELAXING, shower he had just taken.
Oh Nicholas. He sure does make me laugh. I just have to think of a way to get him back...

Katelyn's not the only baby in the family..
Ok, I know they have to give my baby shots, but I never knew it would be so hard for me to watch. Geesh i'm about to cry just writing about it.
Anyways, I'm sensitive. I'm a baby. And I cried a little today when they gave Katelyn her shots at her 2 month appointment. But how can you not?
She was so happy. She was laughing and smiling with the doctor. The doctor was listening to all her stories she had to tell (that's what the doctor said she was doing- telling stories haha) and then... the nurse came in. Held her legs down while Nicholas and I held her little hands. And.. they poked her. Three times. :( She screamed, but not for long. She's a fighter. Nicholas cuddled her and told her to be strong and she stopped crying.. it was adorable. I still feel bad for her. She's been a bit more fussy after the appointment and I think it might be because her little legs hurt.
I love my little girl so much and I just hate seeing it happen.
Anyways, on the bright side... she's gained exactly 3 pounds since her one week visit! She now weighs 10 lbs 1 oz.! Good little girl. And she's around the 50th percentile for all of her measurements- head, height, and weight. I think her weight is a little under 50, her head a little above.. I can't remember. I would go get the sheet, but she is sleeping in my arm and I don't want to wake her. Oh, you know one thing I realized after having a baby? It's a lot slower and harder to type with one hand. OH wow.. so Nicholas just came over and took her from me.. how sweet of him! :)
Some other milestones that Katelyn has reached now are:
walking... just kidding.
-laughing
-smiling
-holding her head up really well
-coo's and caa's quite a bit more
-and today.. so close to rolling!
-does well on her tummy
-sleeps 6-7 hours a night
-better at falling asleep on her own
She is wonderful. We love her. I'll hopefully post some 2 month pictures soon! But really.. she doesn't get a 2 month birthday cause there aren't 30 days in February :( So.... we'll count it once this month is over! :) Bye.

I should have known...
considering the fact that I am an elementary ed teacher, but those boy scouts are crazy!
We had our first meeting with the cub scouts last night at the leader's home. By the end... no about 5 minutes into it, the boys were jumping over couches, wrestling each other, etc.
I was holding on to Katelyn for dear life. Haha. No just kidding... ok, yeah.. I'm not going to lie, it was a mad house, I was scared someone was going to trample over her so i held her most of the time.
Not to mention, she was fussing at first and one boy jumps up out of his seat runs over to her and starts touching her face, grabbing her hands, and has his face about an inch away from hers. I don't know how other moms feel about this, but she still is small. She can get sick. The kids were outside right before and definitely didn't wash their hands. And now they're being rubbed all over my baby. How do you other moms feel about this? I was a bit overwhelmed after...
but I am a teacher and thank goodness I know how to set rules and establish the consequences, trust me I've dealt with kids like this before now. Nicholas will surely help me keep them under control and save our little Katelyn. :)
p.s. she gets shots tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. Luckily Nick is kind enough to come with me so he can help. What would I do with out him? LOVE You Nicholas!

The baby is out...
Alright, so I really can only blog once Katelyn is asleep and she is falling asleep right now. She is such a good baby. She let mommy take a nap today :) Anyways,
So I started writing a post, and you know when you're like half way through and you think, "Wow, this is really long, I don't think people will want to read this. In fact, I wouldn't even want to read this!" Well.. I'm starting that post over because I thought that in the middle of it, so I am going to condense it and make it short and sweet. :)
WE had a WONDERFUL weekend!
Friday: Date night with some friends, went out to eat, got ice cream after, Nick and I rented a chick flick (Love Happens), we played with Katelyn through out the movie, and then put her and ourselves to bed. A good night! :)
Saturday: I finally went shopping and bought some clothes. Something I haven't done for.. who knows how long. At least over a year. Anyways the awesome part is 1st- Nicholas came with me. What guy can handle going shopping with his wife for a couple hours watching her browse and try on clothes? He was so great. I wanted him to come to tell me what he likes.. he has good taste! I remember when we first started dating he wanted to take me shopping to buy a new outfit, it was so fun! He helped me choose out everything and bought it all for me. But that's beside the fact... see how distracted I get? OK. 2nd- I got some new clothes! Man it feels great to be wearing regular clothes again with out a huge belly out front. 3rd- I got the best deal on some SUPER cute heels. 90 dollars, and guess what I got them for? 20 Bucks! I love finding good sales like that!
Sunday: I would have to say, and I'm sure Nicholas would agree, that Sunday was by far the best day of our weekend. And I'm not just saying that. Church was wonderful. I loved the topic in RS and Nicholas taught the same topic in Elder's Quorum (which went very well) so afterward we really had a lot to talk about and we enjoyed discussing it together. It was on agency.
That night we had a fireside with Elder Bednar. We woke up at 6:15... or should I say Katelyn woke us up at 6:15? Haha. Anyways, she was hungry so I had to feed her. We weren't dressed in our church clothes. The church is 20 minutes away and the fireside started at 7. We definitely had the excuse that we couldn't make it. We both thought however, how often do we get to listen to an apostle of the Lord? So we went... and we made it in time! :) This fireside was by far one of the best I've been to so I'm glad we went. And I have to say I have never seen an apostle be so casual as was Elder Bednar. He was asking us questions and having us all respond. For example, he said, "You think we can do this?" a couple people said yes. Then he encouraged us even more.. something along the lines of, "Oh come on that was so dead, you think we can do this??" YES! Everyone shouted.
Well the neatest thing was that he had us ask him questions through out the fireside and he would answer. Various people were able to ask and it was so neat to hear the answers to their questions. In the end though, he asked how many of us had thought of a question, weren't able to ask it, but somehow received an answer to our question through out the meeting. Many raised their hand, including myself. He basically ended by saying we don't need him to answer our questions, we all know what we should be doing so do it.
It was a great fireside. We really enjoyed it. Oh and another thing he said he was flying from Dallas Texas and was waiting for the plane 10 minutes to six, the fireside started at 7!! And he still made it in time!
Our weekend was great. I love spending each weekend with Nicholas, and now with baby Katelyn also. They make me so happy and I hope I do the same for them!
I caught some more pictures of Katelyn smiling, so enjoy! Ok one more thing.. you can see this post is still somewhat long, so you can imagine what my other post was like! haha alright bye!

I love this little girl so much. She is the sweetest little angel.

This is what I wake up to every morning....
I can't believe how adorable this little girl is. Seeing her happy brings so many emotions to me. I love her so much and she makes me such a proud mommy!
And here are a few others... you can see it's not just one quick snap shot I happen to catch on camera.. she really is so smiley and gives me plenty of opportunities to catch her on camera! She is so cute!
and I have no idea why these 2 pictures won't rotate upright... sorry.

They finally got me...
I haven't had a calling in our ward since I've moved in. I figured it was because I was pregnant. YUP. My first week back at church and they snagged me as quick as they could! Haha. They actually asked both Nick and I to do a calling together :) One that I am quite excited about to see how it all works. I've never really been involved with what this calling involves and I know a little bit about how it all works. Anyways, Nicholas was called as Assistant Cub Scout Master, and I was called as a Den Mother! :) Thank goodness Nicholas will only be assisting the Cub Scout Master because I'm sure if he were in charge of it all it would be more work than he needs on top of school.. and not to mention the teaching he also has to do in Elder's quorum. I told him he has 2 callings.. isn't he lucky! hah.
I love working with Nicholas in different callings. We've really only been together in Primary and other than that I was a Relief Society newsletter deliverer (can you even call that a calling?) So I'm excited to be back with him. I think it will be fun and a wonderful new experience. I really enjoy working with kids.. we'll see how we do with all boys. Maybe that's why we had a girl.. cause the Lord new we'd be dealing with a lot of boys soon. Haha.
Ok, well.. a little about Katelyn... she grunted at church today and made her little sucking noise on her pacifier. It was so funny because everyone was looking over at us in Relief Society and the girls next to me were just laughing. I always loved hearing the babies while it was quiet in class and I can't believe now it's actually me that everyone looks at because my baby is making noises. She is such a cutie. She looks so cute in her little Sunday dress. I love her so much! We went for a walk yesterday and it was so nice. She is growing up so fast and by the way.. she sleeps GREAT! She falls asleep around ten and sleeps until about 5.. I can't complain at all. She is a wonderful baby! She continues to smile at us more and more. In the mornings is when she is happiest, she'll just sit there sometimes and give us these big grins. It's adorable.
Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

Hi
I asked Nick the other day what I could write about... what have we done recently? Anything exciting we've done? Anything new? Well... All I could think of was Katelyn :) Yup, she has officially taken over our blog. Sorry, but we really don't have much else to write about. Our lives revolve around her. This tiny little person get's so much attention. That's alright though cause I love taking pictures of her so I hope you all love to see them. And once Nick and I get involved in the world again I'll post... as for now.. the spotlight is on this little gal!
Which by the way.. she is now sitting up on her own.... haha just kidding, but that IS her sitting on Nick's hand without any support. She can only hold her self up for about ten seconds though.

2009 Recap
Well I was going to do this awhile ago.. somewhere closer to the beginning of the new year, however if you would only understand, my beautiful baby occupies quite a bit of my time or I get distracted while in the process of doing things.
She is sleeping now though and I might have a few minutes to reminisce this past year of 2009.
It sure was a wonderful year full of many adventures. I was reminded of this post because today Nicholas reminded me to call my old work place to see about my w-2 tax forms. I couldn't believe it had been so long since I last worked there- almost a year.
Well starting out the year:
-Nicholas and I started our last semester of classes at BYU
-I quite my job at Abella Bridal
-In April we both graduated from BYU
-Nicholas turned 24
-We found out we were expecting in April
-We decided that Nicholas would attend school in Oklahoma.
-I started my student teaching
-We bought our 1st home in Oklahoma
-Nicholas moved to Oklahoma in June while I stayed July & August to finish student teaching
-In August I finished my student teaching
-I turned 20 in August
-Nick finished his first semester of dental school
-September we found out we were having a sweet baby girl
-We celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary in September
-I started substitute teaching in Oklahoma (also received my official state of Utah teaching license)
-November we took a road trip to Colorado for Thanksgiving
-We had our first Christmas together just as a couple
And the absolute best thing of the year was the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Katelyn Marie Jensen.
this past year sure was full of changes! I can't wait to see what this year brings us. :)
