Bowling!

We had such a blast bowling with the family. Andrew & Megan came into town and for Kimmy's birthday we went to Red Robin...the one place that Kyler will actually sit at the table and eat French Fries...And then we went Bowling at Karen Pullmans. Kyler and Maxwell Loved it. They both tied at the end with a score of 76. Of course they did have bumpers. Thanks Mom for such a fun night. We missed Dad he was out of town.

Frogs and Nauvoo

I saw this blog layout and it reminded me of a Newton Family trip to Nauvoo when I was a little girl. We were staying at a hotel ( I can't quite remember where in the mid west) and my cousins Cub, Chris, and Jake along with my brother Jeff found a ton of frogs oustide in the pool. They cought a few of them and as a present to the cleaning crew, they left them in the toilets, tubs, and I think even in the beds. Oh,boy the things we do as kids. I remember sneaking in after the parents had left the room and placing these frogs in the rooms. I did not touch a frog, but I do remember watching my cousins put them in toilets and other places. What a fun memory!

MIA

Sorry that I have been Missing In Action for so long. We are finally starting to feel better. I am finally feeling like I have some energy back. We all got sick right after New Years.(I'm sure due to all the late nights and family gatherings nightly.) Well we all ended up with pneumonia, nasty coughs, and major fatigue. Maxwell even got an ear infection. He was not sleeping very well at all, and then Thursday (9th) he told me that his ear hurt. I took him in and sure enough Ear infection. So we have been out of commission for a long time. Kyler got better pretty quickly, but still gets tired really fast. Anyhow- we are finally feeling better. I Hope that all of you are healthy, being sick id horrible.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Last Night Aunt Tara called to see if the boys would like to go to the Dinosaurs Live show at the ESA. Kyler & Maxwell were so excited. We got on the computer and went to the website so that they could be a little more prepared for the adventure they were going on. It just hyped them up even more. I don't think they stopped roaring like dinosaurs all night. Maxwell got a little nervous as it was time to go and mommy wasn't going with him, but he did ok once he saw Katelyn and her grandma Chrissy (whom my boys just love too) in the car. They left about 6:20 and I didn't know what to do. My house was quiet for the first time in who knows how long. I just layed on the couch and soaked in the silence. Later I went to Quinn's church ball game and actually had a good time since I wasn't chasing kiddos around. When we got home the boys pulled up right behind us. Great timing. They were so excited and so worn out. They both came in the house went upstairs put pjs on brushed teeth and went to bed. I was a little worried about some bad dreams, but neither of them had any. Unfortunately Maxwell still woke up coughing a few times, but hey I did have a little break.

Thanks Tara and Chris. The boys had such a good time. All they could talk about was the big T-REX. "It was so cool, mom!" ( I stole your picture too tara. thanks)

Snow Storm!

I was opening some snowman dishes that I recieved for my birthday from Tara, Jeff & Katelyn, and as I was placing them in my hutch I turned around and found the boys doing this with the styrofoam. I had to sit back and laugh as I let my kids have fun with this stuff. It made such a mess! But hey it was fun, even though Max decided to see if it tasted good.

New Years Eve

We started off the night saying goodbye to Andrew & megan. We sure had a blast having them home for the holidays. Kyler had a really hard time saying goodbye, it was so sweet.


Then we were off to the Gilberts for an evening of Rockband, soccer, treats, and a lot of fun. It was fun to be with the California group again. We missed the Aveys and their girls. When they are not around there are no girls. Crazy that we all have boys.




After the party at Gilberts we went to the Sperry's for Games and ringing in the new year. It was fun to have almost the whole family together. Vance and Shauna were in town with their kids. It has been a long time since we have seen them. It was a fun and crazy new years eve. Kyler and Max even made it to midnight.

Wii fun

The Wii has become a favorite game for Kyler and Maxwell. I had no idea that they would be coordinated enough to do it but they are. This is now one of our favorite things to do. Going to grandma and grandpa's house to play mario cart and mario party is what the boys ask to do everyday. They had fun playing with Andrew & May May while they were here for Christmas.

Max Loves that he has a wheel too

A Tree Adventure

We took our friends the Quick Girls to see my Grandparents Christmas tree. The girls were spending the night at our house and we thought that going there would be a fun adventure for them. And it was. My grandparents christmas tree is no ordinary tree. It is huge. and not only is the tree decorated to the hilt, there is an ivory snow village underneath that is amazing. There is nothing like it. The kids had a great time. And it was fun to visit with grandma and grandpa while were there.

Wilkey Family Party

Every year the first Saturday in December is the Wilkey Family Christmas Party. It is fun to have it right at the beginning of the month to get in the Holiday Spirit. We have dinner and we play a great white elephant game and then a special visitor comes with gifts for the younger kids. It is down in Nephi where Quinn's mom grew up, so we have to plan for a drive to get there, but we always have a good time. This year we missed dinner thanks to an accident on the freeway so we picked up wendys and got there just in time for the white elephant gift game. Ky and Max had a great time rolling the die and running around getting more and more presents. The Highlight however was of course Santa. Kyler couldn't wait to tell him what he wanted...a hot wheels crusher. And Max even sat on his lap and told Santa he wanted SPEED RACERS! No surprise there. They each got to open a gift too. They got Speed Racer cars. Ky was a little disappointed at first because it wasn't the crusher but he eventually was thrilled with his cars for the race track.

The Tree Hunt

Yes, the day has come, the anual Jorgensen family tree hunt. We go and cut our Christmas Trees down every year. This year we had to travel 30 miles west of Wendover but we still did it. It actually is a fun tradition and the kids have a great time roaming the mountain to find the perfect tree. Here are some pictures of the days events.

Turkey Day

Thanksgiving this year was crazy just like every other year. The boys and I watched the Macy's Parade and had a blast running around the house together while dad was out playing football. We then began our trek to the Sperry's, the Jorgensen Grandparents, and the Newton Grandparents. By the end of the night we were tired and still had to get ready for the "Tree Hunt" the next morning. I also had to make a stop at Michaels arts and crafts to pick up a couple of cricut cartridges that were on sale!
We had a great time sharing the day with family and eating a ton of food. I love to spend time with family and I love seeing my boys play around with their cousins it is great to have so much family around to spend time with. I was not good with pictures this year so here are just a few of the boys playing in grandpa Jorgensens chair.

The Move

We were able to go to St. George to help Uncle Andrew and Aunt May May move into their new place. The boys were so excited that they were going to be sleeping at their house, they could hardly wait. They did pretty well on the drive and they were even big helpers during the move. We had a great time together. Andrew and Megs new place is so awesome. We even got all the pictures and decor up over the weekend. Thanks for letting us drive you guys crazy for a few days. We definitely come with lots of noise these days! I know we will be visiting you guys again.
I didn't get many still pictures. Kyler took some, I had the video camera. So I am waiting to get pictures from Kimmy and then I will post some more!

Real Soccer Game

We were able to get tickets to the real playoff game for Saturday November 15. We decided to just take Kyler since it would be so cold and Max would not really enjoy that part of things. So we left Max with grandma and took Ky. This was the first time we had been in the new Stadium and it was a playoff game so it was exciting. Even though it was cold we had a great time. Ky loved being with his dad and talking soccer lingo with him. It has been a real treat to watch their relationship grow. We had great seats by the north goal and every time people would stand up Kyler would say "Dad pick me up so I can see" it was really cute!
Anyway we had a great time with our Kyler. I am so proud of him and so pleased with all the progress he is making right now. He loves school and he loves to learn. I only wish he loved to eat! Oh well that will come eventually. You are a great joy in our lives Kyler and we had a great time with you tonight! Lots of Love.

From Leaves to Snow

On Saturday we spent most of the day outside enjoying the beautiful weather. It was Kyler's last soccer game of the fall season and he did great! He scored a goal! The Dragons had a great season and I am so proud of Quinn for all he did for these kiddos. I am especially proud of him for his patience with Kyler. They both love soccer and I think this experience has brought them closer together.







After the game we came home and raked A Lot of leaves. We have such a fun yard with big trees and that means lots of leaves. Quinn made forts for the boys to play in and we all had a leaf war. It was so much fun and it was so beautiful outside. Then comes Wednesday morning...SNOW!! So much snow that we could not stay inside we had to go out and build snowmen, have snowball fights and make snow angels. Poor Maxwell started to freeze but he didn't want to go inside. Kyler loved getting me with his snowballs. He thought it was so funny that he could hit me, but I always missed him. hahaha. So it was a quick change from fall to winter. But we enjoyed them both.
