Kyler's Graduation

This is really late but I have to post this big event. Kyler graduated from Preschool and it was such a great day! He was so excited to say his part and sing his songs for us. I was an emotional wreck and it was only preschool...but I am pregnant too. Kyler we are so proud of you and for all that you are learning and discovering each day! Preschool was a huge blessing in his life. His teachers Miss. Sadie and Miss. Michelle were amazing with Kyler. It truly was a great year!
For Graduation the kids wore caps and gowns and they even had tassles that has 09 on them that they got to keep. They walked in to the graduation march and sat on the stage. The program was wonderful and full of great laughs. Kyler said his part so well...he had practiced for a couple of weeks, and sang the songs great. As they received their diplomas the teacher read a little about each child. She talked about how much Kyler had grown this year from being this shy little boy into a talkative and helpful little boy. WHich is so true. He loved preschool and seeing his friends and teachers. After the diplomas they has a DVD of pictures from the year. Of course I was crying the whole time. It was wonderful. We even got a copy. Kyler's teachers even gave him a scrapbook they had made full of memories from the year. It was wonderful. Miss. Sadie gave him some hot wheels and a darling magnet board with magnets she made. Ky loves these gifts and tells everyone where they came from.
Kyler we are so proud of you! You are such a joy in our lives and we love you so much. Congrats!
Now onto Kindergarten!!

Kyler's Broken Foot

Kyler loves rough housing and playing around with his uncles. Well, this time,he was not being very rough and a weird landing on his foot put him into tears. He was playing with his uncle and landed funny on his foot, it swelled up and he didn't want to walk on it, but I wanted to wait and see what happened. THe next day he woke up and it was still very sore, but he started walking on it so I just let it be. We went swimming at grandma and grandpas, and by late afternoon, he was till in a lot of pain and walking on th einside of his foot. So I took him to the urgent care. I had him walk in and then when the nurse offered him a wheel chair he was so excited to not walk. I felt bad, that I had made him walk around, especially when the x-ray came back that it was broken. ( Mean Mom) Kyler was such a trooper though. He and I played a fun game with his hat while we waited for the doctor.


He has to wear this boot for 4-6 weeks. I am happy that that they didn't cast it, so that we can take it off to shower and I am sure to swim.

It's A ....

BOY!
Our New little guy is due November 17th.
Kyler and Maxwell are super excited about having a brother to play sports with. Quinn and I are still trying to figure out how we are going to handle 3 little kiddos! We are super excited though.

Wall Art

So I was sick one day and I had no energy left after a long day. I had the boys coloring with crayons and watching Mickey Mouse while I layed down for a little nap. Earlier that day I had labeled some things with a black sharpie and I had no idea that my boys had watched me put it away in a "hiding place". Well after a short rest I went downstairs and this is what I found. I couldn't believe my eyes, permanent marker all over my walls, I then followed the lines and found marker all over the couch, chairs, endtables, more walls, the floor and picture frames. All I could do was sit on the floor and cry. I had no idea where to start. Max went to his room and Kyler to his and they both felt bad...especially Kyler. I called my mom and she and my sister came to my rescue. I don't know how they did it but there is not a mark left on anything. Now we do not have any markers in the house right now and the boys are only allowed crayons. THanks mom and kimmy for your much needed help.



I knew this was Maxwell because he had just started drawing people, the cirlce with eyes, a mouth and arms and legs coming out of the circle. I was glad that i took a picture of thier art work before we washed it away.

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.
