Jaxon and Hayden's Medical Story

Our new addition to the family

When we got Sophie 2 months ago, we had no clue or even thought about her being pregnant. I was starting to wonder what was going on a few weeks ago, because she just kept getting bigger and bigger. I just thought she was eating too much, but then I started to wonder if she could have come to us pregnant. Last Thursday, while I was cleaning her cage, Jeremy was holding her, and he felt something move around. We watched her closely the next few days, and her tummy would just go crazy! On Tuesday morning, we got to watch her give birth. Jeremy heard something when he came into the room, and looked in to see her with 2 already, and called us in. We watched the 3rd come out in the sac, and Sophie bite it so the baby could breath. It was pretty incredible! She then started cleaning them right away, and soon they were walking around making noises! We think that they are all 3 girls, and will keep checking these next few weeks, just to make sure. If they are, we will probably keep all 3, get another cage, so 2 can share. We had been talking about getting the other 2 one anyways, so this works out great! They say that they should not be alone, so they will have plenty of company!
The three little ones minutes after they were born!

Here is Sophie feeding them. They somehow all get under her and are able to eat. They are 4 days old now and are eating regular food, and drinking water. They still have their mom, but they can eat regular food already too!

Here they are at 1 day old. All clean and so cute!

Baby #1~ Jaxon's Asoka (from has favorite cartoon Star Wars the Clone wars) We think she was born first, and has different hair than Minnie and Sophie.

Baby #2~ Hayden's Minnie. She was the last one born, we actually got to watch her come out. It was pretty amazing! She has the same hair as her mommy, Sophie. Hayden wanted her right away, he called her the "down hair one"!

Baby #3~ Jonah's little Lola. We think she was the 2nd one born, she has the same hair as Asoka, and is the loudest out of all 3 of them!

Morghan's Baptism

There were a lot of boys, right around Jaxon and Jonah's age, they had fun getting to know each other!
We drove down to Eau Claire for the weekend, for Morghan's baptism. We had a great trip, and it was so much fun to see Jon, Angi and the kids! I haven't seen where they live yet, so it was great to be there. Jeremy and I had the honor of being Godparents to Morghan, Jeremy was in Indiana visiting Jesse, so he wasn't able to be there. We had the little service at Bethasda Church, in one of their Sunday school rooms. First we started out with the baptism, then had something to eat!
Here is the whole Rogness family, even though the kids aren't looking.

Family and friends!

Jonah's Nursery Rhyme Concert


Jonah and his class did a nursery rhyme concert a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been able to get the pictures up yet, but he has been asking me a ton, if I would, so here they are! They learned a ton of songs, and dressed up as character's of the nursery rhymes. Jonah was the "clock" of Hickory Dickory Dock. He did a great job, and looked super cute!

Jeremy and Jesse

Jesse and Jeremy as babies
These are pictures of Jeremy and his best friend Jesse growing up. For those of you who don't know, Jesse died after a hard battle with cancer, on Wednesday, March 31st. Jeremy was blessed to have gone to visit Jesse the week before, in Indiana, where he was having treatment. He was able to help care for him, and give Jesse's mom a break! He was also able to go to the memorial service in Colorado, the weekend after he died. I know he misses Jesse everyday, and will continue to do so! Pray especially for his wife, parents, sisters, and friends as they work through this hard time!
