Baby Girl Coming Our Way in December

We are excited to be bringing another beautiful little girl to our family in December. We can't wait to meet her!

Dance! And Finally Some Warmer Weather!

Dance is well underway and the girls are doing great! This is Leah and Lily's little class in their ballet ending pose. Leah, Madison Hess, Molly Hatton, April Ricks, Lily, Hailee Stegelmeier, and Bella Polk. Such cute little girls!

 

This is the oldest class in their gymnastics routine ending pose. They enjoy doing fun pyramids.

 

The weather has been improving enough that we are spending a lot of time outside, the grass is growing greener and it's nice to be able to wear shorts.

Fun Trip to See Lizzy in Castle Dale

Before we went to Utah we were having a family home evening and I realized at the end that it had been abnormally quiet, low and behold our little Russell Ray was asleep on the girls toy box and snuggling with Leah's pillow. He is so angelic when he sleeps wish it lasted when he was awake!!

 

Mom (Grandma) and I decided to track down Grandpa and see what he was doing out in the fields, we found him just in time to jump in the water truck and shuttle it to another field for spraying. Funnily everyone was dressed in the same color of blue. Wish it was a better picture but it was just on my phone.

 

Russell's hair sure gets bleached out in the sun!

 

We went to Castle Dale Utah to see Aunt Lizzy, she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and had just finished her last chemo therapy. We wanted to come down and see her and lift her spirits by bringing the kids, we had a good time visiting her and Dennis and the Fauvers. While we were there we decided to go to the dinosaur museum right there in CD. The kids loved it!

We also did a little Slip n sliding, of course that was a hit! Lizzy has the perfect hill too!

 

The day before my birthday we realized Lizzy had a ton of pie cherries ripe and ready on her tree so we picked a bunch and decided to make my favorite pies. Delish, Leah even did her own little pie, quite the little pastry chef.

Fortunately Miranda had some time off to come visit us while we were there, she and little Atlas were fun company that's for sure. That little Atlas sure is cute and looks so much like Miranda with Aldo's hair and skin. So cute!

 

For my birthday I knew I wanted to take the kids up to the fun water park on the hill, the Fauvers came and we had such a good time sliding, swimming and just plain getting wet. Cute little Russell has turned into quite the little fish, I love it! For my birthday we had a delicious dinner and mom made me one of my new favorite cakes, a hummingbird cake. I need to find the recipe for sure.

Of course we can't go to Lizzy's without having a tea party so that ended our wonderful trip to CD. Wish it was closer so we could see our extended family more often, we love them all so much and can't wait till we get to see them again!

Field Day!

The elementary puts on a field day every spring and I was really excited to see Leah compete in her very first track and field experience. She has it in her blood I always say! She did not disappoint, she got several ribbons, one in long jump, 100 meter dash, and she ran a mile at the end of it! I loved every minute of it and could see a bit of competitive spirit come out in her, though it was against her best little friend Robbie Lenz. Lily was there too and she participated in the Relay, kind of funny since she was tiny tiny tiny but what fun!

Easter 2014 in SLC

I love Easter in Utah, Ashton gets a little muddy and isn't as green as I always hope it is, so getting to Utah lifts our spirits for Easter. While out we decided to take a little picnic to Wheeler farm to have some sandwiches and see the animals on the farm. It was so fun and a perfect adventure for the kids.

Back at the Jorgensen's house Sara had suggested doing a photoshop with the kids because she had bought them each their own Easter outfit. Pretty colors! It was so fun taking pictures of these pretty girls and fun that they each had a sister to pose with. Russell wasn't too thrilled about the idea of sitting still let alone getting his picture taken but I was able to catch a few.

 

Later that evening Sara, Jonas and Hannah put together a fun little Easter egg hunt in her backyard. Of course this is a highlight of Easter since I was a little girl.
