Dawson turns 3

I am now 3 years old!!!
I can ride my bike with out training wheels.
I can count to 10.
I can talk in full sentences(even if you can't understand me)
And I love to sing.

I got to go to Carl's Jr for my birthday dinner.

Happy Birthday Dawson!!!!!!!!!!!

2 months old

I made it to 2 months old.
I am 11lbs 13 oz and,
24 1\2 in long.
I'm so tall now, I'm off the charts.
I smile when I am played with, but I still just cry when you try to tickle me.
I also hold my head up very well.
That about covers it for now, see you next month.

Farewell/blessing

So on Sunday we killed 2 birds with 1 stone. We had baby Alison blessed, and also had my brother Tayler's mission farewell.

Jacob's mom made the dress. It was gorgeous!

This was one of the only pics he was normal for.
He looks so missionary like. It's weird.
He is going to Tucson, AZ. "See ya in 2 years Tay!"

My mom's side of the family.
And there's Tayler being weird again.
And yes, that is my BABY brother in the white shirt.
I refused to stand next to him because he is now taller than me.
I am quickly becoming the shortest member of my family.

My dad's side of the family.
NO!! I'm not that short, I chose to sit in that picture.


Dad and his baby girl.
All and all, it was a pretty good turnout.

Dawson rides bike

So a few days ago, I was fixing one of Dawson's training wheels. He had been riding so much that the rubber had finally given out. So as I was reattaching the wheel, Dawson runs over, grabs it, and yell, "NO!! OFF OFF!", So I said, "OK", thinking naively to myself, that after he crashes a few times, he will want them back on, and that will be the end of it.

Well the joke was on me..........
.....He took right off like he had been doing it for years!
I couldn't believe it! He is not even 3 years old!

He is soooooo proud of himself.

1 month old

One month old
9.6lbs
24in long
(from head to toe, not heel)
But best of all...
I sleep through the NIGHT!!!!

My brothers can't seem to get enough of me.

They fight over who gets to hold me all the time.
My fear of being dropped has definately gone through the roof, hence the
concerned look on my face.

I hope I live to see next month.

One week old already!

I can't believe it has already been a week.
And by the look on her face, it must have been a long one.

They are just so cute when they're sleeping.

Ok, and when they're awake.

Ahhhhhhh, done taking pictures at last.

Alison Caige Jeppsen

Alison is finally here.
7lbs 15oz
20in long
Things started out slow, but then quickly turned into a race to the finish line. I hadn't had my "drugs" in for more than 15 min when out she came. Needless to say, the drugs didn't kick in until after she was born. Not yet one minuet old, and already trouble.

She wasn't anymore cooperative after she was born either. It took them forever to get her to cry. All she wanted to do was sleep.

But her peaceful slumber was short lived. Enter.......her brothers!

They couldn't decide who got to hold her first, so they shared.



When the time came to go home..........well............ this pic should tell you exactly how she felt.

But once we got home, she turned into a perfect angel.
