6 weeks

Well it's been a long time since I've written but I'm going to attempt to catch up on the last month or so.  We are here in Logan... actually Smithfield, on the outskirts of Logan... and we are loving it.  We aren't quite settled in yet but we are getting there.  I absolutely love the people in our neighborhood.  I couldn't ask to be around friendlier people!  Jenna is getting so big.  She is 6 weeks old already and I can't believe it.  She is a happy baby for the most-part.  She smiles more and more and it just melts our hearts.  She is starting to coo, which I love to listen to.  The kids are absolutely loving her and I have to constantly remind Kayla to be gentle.  Mom came out for a visit and it went by way too fast. Two days just isn't enough.  It was so nice to have her here...  I miss her like crazy.  I don't really know what else.  I'm constantly busy.  Two little ones and an infant is a lot of work, but I love it.

Jenna's feet next to Kayla's... I love it.

This is a typical moment at my house... everyone fighting for Daddy's attention.

This picture is a classic for me.

My Mom and Jenna... Jenna was in the middle of trying to eat Mom's face.

Jenna is so comfy in her Grandma's arms

These little purple booties are a gift from my Aunt Kathy.  Kathy made these and they will be perfect for the colder weather.  I love them.

This little hat came in a gift basket that my Mom got at an auction.  It doesn't really fit Jenna very well, but I had to take a picture of her in it, because it's such a cute little hat.

Introducing Jenna Marie Scorsone

After much anticipation, Jenna is finally here!  I can't even describe how much I love this little girl!

We found a house!

Well, our move to Logan is becoming more and more official, and I can't be more excited!  Mitch started commuting up there for work on July 2nd, and it has been exhausting for him.  We would spend his days off going up to Logan as a family so that we could look at houses.  I never realized how stressful house-hunting would be.  Thank goodness we are just renting and not actually buying.  I couldn't imagine how much more stressful it would be if we were going to purchase.  There is so much more to take into consideration when you know that a growing family is going to be living in this house as opposed to just yourself.
Yesterday was our lucky day.  We found a house that we both agreed we loved in an area that seems to be something we will love as well.  It's in Smithfield just north of North Logan.  Where we will be is not completely built up yet, but that is just fine with both of us.  We have a nice big fenced in backyard and plenty of room inside the house for us to live and the kids to play, without always feel like we're stepping on each other's feet.  The landlords seem very on top of it and are such nice people.  The surrounding neighborhood seems to have lots of growing families as well, and everything looks so nice and clean.  The current renters of the house were actually home when we went to look at the house, and I found out that they are moving just right down the street.  They were so nice and gave us the lowdown of the area and community.  As of right now, I couldn't be more happy!
So now, it's just a matter of getting moved.  We are able to get the keys and start moving our stuff as of July 15th.  The movers need 2-3 weeks notice in order to have us moved, so I think that Mitch will probably start staying in the house in Smithfield as soon as he's able.  As soon as everything is completely moved, the kids and I will stay there as well.  Until then, I'm going to be here in Salt Lake with the kids.  He'll probably just come home on his days off so that the commute won't be nearly as bad.  The amount of gas it takes in his truck is killing us right now.  So that's that for now.  At this point, I just can't wait until we have the baby and are settled.  It's nice to finally know that we have a place to go.

Kayla's first manicure

Whenever Mitch goes out of town he always makes sure that he comes back with a little something for each of us.  He's been out of town 3 different times in the last month and so the kids have gotten super excited about so many surprises!  Just this last time, he went to L.A. for his GM testing and came back with fun different candies for Jaxton and I.  Kayla got her first set of nail polishes and 2 tubes of lip gloss.  She was in heaven!  I love that she is such a girl!  A little later on, Mitch and Jaxton got on the roof to get the air up and running and Kayla was devastated that she couldn't be with them.  I quickly sidetracked her with her new nailpolish, and all of her devastation was immediately forgotten.  We had so much fun painting our nails and putting on lip gloss.

Love those cute chubby hands
