Christmas

The whole family was at our house for Christmas. We went sledding on Christmas Eve and had a blast.

I spent the weekend helping with the boys. They are crazy!Even little Max had a chance to go sledding. As you can see we had TONS of snow at our house! Christmas Even night we performed our annual nativity. So Cute! The kids were so excited on Christmas morning.The day after Christmas we went to Sundance with the entire Jorgensen family. Everyone was there. We played games and went sledding again!

Deck the Halls

Christmas this year is at our houseand it is nuts! We had Devin and Lindsey come early yesterday to "claim their bed". Then at about 11 Dede and Eric showed up. On Christmas Eve Brett and Rhiannon walked in at 9 o'clock. We went sleding and had fun.

Ballet Utah 2

I, Kemarie, am now on a Ballet Company. These are my company pics. with just me and some of my class. These were taken at the begining of the year. We are touring schools preforming Nutcracker on December 5th. Then in Feburary the are preforming in Swan Lake as The Young Swans and in Firebird as Monsters. Also, in June, we will be Jesters in Cinderella.

Jeff

Jeff is in Arizona this week. He was there last week and will be there next week. Mom has been alone and sad.

Honor Roll

Kemarie made the high honor roll! Then on Friday the 14th she is going roller blading with her school. They are going during 3rd and 4th period. To bad for Kemarie that one of those is her favorite class. Oh well no work.

New Arrival

Maxon (Max) Jorgensen was born on Sept. 22 at 6:56 p.m.. He weighed 5lb.13oz. and was 19 in. long.

The happy new family!

A proud new daddy!

A cute new mom!

He's already melting hearts!

The Baseball Game

So this was a while ago but we had so much fun I wanted to share some of the pictures. Mom and Dad always make sure we are going somewhere fun and they love to see the kids happy, as you can tell by their giant treats! We had a great time.

Math Teacher

Kemarie has decided that her math teacher is mean. She comes home complaing luckly she only has her every other day. Her other classes are going ok just her math class is a problem.

New Bed

After being told that our bed would be brought to our house in 4-6 weeks and getting it in 8 we still got the wrong parts! It still can be used but the headboard is about 3 inches taller. We are working on getting those part but for the most part it is perfect. It is one of the prettiest bed I have ever seen.

First Day of School

Friday was Kemarie's first day of school in a big Jr. High. She was one of the lucky ones and found all the classes she needed to be in and got there on time! She has a dance class she is excited about because she loves dance, and surprisingly she thinks she will love her English class because the teacher lets music play most of the time and gives out candy on a regular basis.

Jeff in Alaska

Jeff was able to go to Alaska on another trip for work. He gets to go everywhere fun. Here is a couple pictures of him at the Anchorage, Alaska temple. Everyone at work was jealous and volunteered to go on this trip, even though he was up an back in less than 3 days. No one volunteered to go to Tucson this summer to do a job on an eleven story furnace!

Chicago

Jeff took a trip to Chicago for work and I was able to go with him. We did a little sight seeing. This is on top of the Sears Tower with our hotel behind us. We were also able to go to the Melenium Park and the Navy Pier along with a private dinner at Science Museum. My personal favorite was the Broadway musical Wicked.

Model Airplane Show

On Saturday we went to a model airplane show in Lehi at a special model airplane airport. It was fun to see all the different plane types and the tricks these planes could do. Gage loved trying to find the planes in the air and being able to be so close to the action. Devin and my dad loved discussing the different plane types. They both have a model plane of their own. My dad built his from scratch (it took several years) and I doubt we'll ever get him to put it in the air again. Devin's came a little more preassembled with the intent that they both could practice flying it and not be out the hard work. They have each only flown once and that was before my parents moved from Salina with the help of a friend who flies often, just to prove that their planes could fly. They are to chicken to try again. Apparently they aren't easy to land. The people flying at the show go out to this airport regularly to practice and invited them out to learn and practice. So maybe we will see their planes in the air again!

This would be Brett sitting under the tree all by himself. He wasn't as into it as the rest of us. (He didn't spend much time there, we just needed to make fun of him!)

The hit of the show was the flying lawnmower, and it flew pretty well. It was a bit odd to see that thing flying around though!

Happy Father's Day!

All of us were at my mom and dad's for father's day this year! We had fun just being together. We tried to take pictures with my dad and his grandkids but it didn't go as planned. None of them cooperated very well, but it was funny! We are so lucky to have a dad that has always supported us in everything we do and has always been there for us. We love you dad!!!!

Girls Camp

I went to girls camp this last week and had a blast. We went to bed at 10:30 (sometimes later when the other girls would stay up and talk making too much noise to fall asleep) and wake up at 6:00 and do things that used our brain from 6 to 6:30. On Wednesday it snowed while the fourth years were on their over night hike. That day was supposed to be our hike day but it was canceled. I went on the high coarse which was climbing up a huge pole, sliding on a thin wire, and then zip lining down ( I did it to prove to my family I Kemarie Jorgensen am not a chicken and to go down the awesome zip line)!

6 random things

5. I want to be a ballerina when I grow up.( can you tell i'm running out of ideas?)

6. Two months ago I was put on pointe in my dance class.( i love it too)

Local Performance

The family (Jerri, Kem, Dede, and Shy) all got together last night to put on a little show for a local group in South Jordan. We all sang, played the piano, and Shy gave a little dance number that stole the show. Everyone did a great job but we're glad to have it over and done!

(Pictures show Kem singing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow,' Shy dancing to 'Yankee Doodle,' and Dede singing and playing 'Someone Like You')
