Well we went to Billings yesterday to buy an Easter dress for Jenna, and I came home with about 5. Little girl clothes are way too cute; so I tend to splurge a little. My boys even like picking out clothes for their sister. They don't care about their clothes, but they love the cute things for Jenna. So how can you say no when a little boy is begging, "Please Mom, she'll look so cute in this!" What's a Mom to say?
Other than that, I am looking forward to some warmer weather. Jenna can't wear her cute spring clothes until it is warmer. Let's hope this is the last of winter. (yeah right)
Natalie will be coming in one week with her twin girls that are 3 weeks younger than Jenna. It will be fun to see them. Cherelle and Heather are also coming for Easter. So the entire Hessenthaler family will be gathering. It will be a lot of fun and many late nights I am sure. They can sit up and talk all night long. I get very sleepy.... I'm a wimp I guess. How did I handle staying up late when I was a teenager? Oh yeah, I could sleep in until I felt like waking up. Well that's all for now. Until next time.........

4 months
Happy Spring to All! I hope you find this season as refreshing as I do. It is time again for a baby update. Jenna is 4 months old! Yikes, time does fly. Here is the latest news:
Jenna loves to swim. She kicks and kicks and loves the lights!
She loves to be on her tummy. She can roll onto her back, but can't get back on her belly. If there are toys in front of her she tries and tries to get them. She will be crawling before too long. That is scary. My house is not baby-proof anymore. I better get on that.
Jenna will be four months this week. She is about 12 1/2 pounds. She is still in 0-3 month clothing, and I am ready for her to wear her 3-6 month clothes. I bought some really cute ones, but she is too small. She is awake a lot more often, taking only two long naps a day. She is very happy and sweet, but a little too attached to Momma. If anyone else holds her she cries before too long, then when I hold her she stops almost immediately. She smiles at anyone who will talk to her and always thinks I am talking to her. I know the next months will be getting busier and busier with the Queen Bee, but we are exciting for the adventures that lie ahead!Until next time.......................

Taylor is 6!
Taylor had his sixth birthday last Saturday. Grandma Ann came to visit so it was extra special for Taylor. We went to Cody to go birthday shopping, and had a family party for him that night. He got a new leapster, (he wore his old one out) a T-ball mit, a bat, and a many other little presents. He had a great day. On Monday, he took fudgesicles to school. His teacher let him eat their treat outside and enjoy the beautiful day. Here are a few things about Taylor:
- Taylor is our little ray of sunshine. He is always happy, it is nearly impossible to be grouchy when he is around.
- He is our "prayer helper" always reminding us to say our prayers.
- "Bad word Cop" is another title Taylor has earned. He tells us not to say bad words because if little kids hear them, they forget they are bad and may say them.
- He loves his sister and brother.
- He wants to be a partner (cowboy) when he grows up and plans to work with his Dad.
- He is a cuddler. He still sneaks in our bed once in a while for some cuddles.
- He likes to be the "hair gentleman" and play with Mom's hair.
- He is extremely girl crazy (scary huh!) He is always telling me who he "loves" and who he is going to marry.
- He loves to play with Chance and go to Serena's or Grandma's
We are so lucky to have Taylor for a son. He is sweet, kind, and loves life. We love you Taylor!

All about Ethan
Written by Ethan:
This is Ethan I'm 8 years.
I like to draw airplanes, aircrafts, spacecraft, and cars. I like fart jokes. I like hunting. I like sledding. I have a e-mail address. I like MY sisy.

Written by Mom:
Ethan has been begging to blog ever since I started my blog. Ethan is quite a boy. He wakes up every morning and hits the ground running. He has an overwhelming amount of energy. (I have no idea where he gets it!) He looks and acts like David. Ethan has a great sense of humor and keeps us all laughing. He loves to read, play video games, and the computer. He takes really good care of Jenna, and I appreciated his help.
From the time Ethan was two, you could talk to him like an adult. His vocabulary never ceases to amaze me. Sometimes I feel like I am being outsmarted by an eight year old. He has a love for learning, and is pretty much a walking encyclopedia. From nine months on, his favorite toys where books. He loves to read nonfiction- even the dictionary.
I am so proud of the boy Ethan is. He loves to go to church, and read his scriptures. He loves to farm with his Dad; especially during beet harvest. Whenever you're around Ethan, I guarantee he will talk your leg off. He is not shy and will strike up a conversation with any adult around. He loves politics and can fill you in on what's going on in the world. During the election, he came to my classroom and said "Well, Mom see ya, I got to go talk to Mrs. Hinckley about the primaries and the caucases." He loves to watch the history channel and is very interested in past presidents.
Ethan is in second grade and is looking forward to third so he can play basketball and flag football. We love Ethan and the joy he brings to our family.

3 months!
Our baby is three months old. I cannot believe it. Before long she will be talking back and messing like my boys. We have had a very busy last couple weeks.
Jenna finally started sucking on a binky. This has helped for Marie to put her to sleep. I used to nurse her to sleep, but that made it harder for Marie, so I switched to a binky.
Ethan has taken a liking to photography so Jenna and I posed for our photos. He was really cute when taking the pictures and I was surprised at his creativity. In the photo above, you can see I cut my hair off. Spring fever!
Airplane!
Jenna is smiling and talking a lot. She grabs a hold of everything and definitely recognizes her family.
She was sleeping through the night, but she has had a cough for the last 2 weeks and an ear infection the last week. So we have had some sleepless nights. We are so happy to have our baby girl. She has definitely brought our family closer. The boys love to play and spend time with her. I am loving life. My class is so fun. They make me laugh everyday and make my time away from home rewarding. Each day is something new, and I come to work to see the smiles of my 14 other kids.
