Girls Camp 2011

2011-07-14T16:38:00.000-07:00

Last week I spent Tuesday thru Friday with the greatest bunch of girls. I have been the camp director for the past 3 years in our ward and each year gets better. This year we left on Tuesday July 5 for the mountains it was nice cause we didn't have to be up there until 2:00 pm so we met at the church at 11:00 am and had brunch and packed up our stuff. I forget how much girls pack but we got it all packed up. We got up to the camp site and started to put up the tents. I must confess this was the first time I have ever put up a tent let alone 4. It took us about 4 hours but we did it. The stake feed us that night so we didn't have to worry about preparing dinner along with putting up the tents. The stake played minute to win it that night it was a lot of fun to see the girls and leaders playing the game.

We got done and headed to our tents when it started to down poor on us so we all turned in early. Wednesday morning came early the stake held a sun rise devotional so at 5:40 am a bag pipe woke us up. I was glad I didn't have to go and wake the girls up. It was so beautiful up there waiting for the sun to come up over the mountains. Right in the middle of the talk from the guest speaker a deer ran right in front of the stage it was so cool. After we got done we let the girls go back to sleep for a couple hours and then got up and got ready for our hikes. I went with the 4th year girls to the Lake I had 2 of my youth leaders with me so we got in a canoe and headed to back to where our picnic tables where.

We were the 2 boat out on the water and one of the last ones to make it there yeah we were slow. While we were paddling we smelt the worst smell ever and there was a dead fish floating by us we could not get away for it and we couldn't stop laughing. It was a lot of fun playing in the water. When we returned after about 5 hours we got to sit around and relax. I let the girls make magnet boards and magnet and then we all painted our nails and got ready for our skit.
Our girls decided to PLANK for there skit I had no idea what that was so they explained it to me. It turned out really cute. Then we went back and started a fire and I made scones for them. After I went with our first year girls snip hunting it is so fun watching them get scared over snipes. It did take me about 45 min to get all the toothpaste off my face. Then we stayed up talking and I think we finally went to bed around 1 or 2. We got up the next morning all sunburned but it was cloud cover most of the day. The girls did crafts with the stake and then we got ready for the bishopric to come. They no more got there when it started to down poor so we ate in our canape and waited for it to stop then headed down for the flag ceremony and a slip show that stake put together it was really nice. We came back and had our testimony meeting it was so great to hear all the girls bare their testimonies. I stayed up with them and talked until about 12 and then went to bed. We got up early and packed up and left to go home about 9 am. I hope all my girls had fun I know that I sure did.

Then we all got ready and went to the parade in Moroni then Brian Desmond and I headed to Mt Pleasant to watch the parade and have dinner at the Wheelers. It was a lot of fun. Then we went back to my parents house and had another dinner with my family and watched the fireworks.

He came out and was cold but he loved it non the less.

Arizona

2011-03-25T16:39:00.000-07:00

We took a family vacation last week to Arizona. Brian and I have been thinking about moving down there once he is done with school so we wanted to go down and see what it was like. We left Wednesday morning at 6:30 am for our 12 hour road trip. We let Desmond pick out a new toy on Saturday then hid it from him until we left on Wednesday so that he would have something new to play with on our road trip. He picked out Buzz and Woody of course he played with them the whole way down.

We finally made it down there, it was a long drive but it was nice to spend time with Brian and Desmond. We got to Karole and KC's house at about 6:00 pm then Kae Lynn and Rustin came and we went out to dinner. We stayed at Kae Lynn's and Rustins house for the week it was so nice. They left for a trip of their own so we had the place to our self. On Thursday we got up and dropped Desmond off at Karoles. Brian and I went golfing it was so nice and warm, it was great I got to use my new clubs and wear my new shoes. Brian was in heaven getting to golf for the first time this year!

We then went back to their house had a bar b q and went to bed. We didn't wake up on Friday until 12:30 pm we were tired. We got up got ready and went over to Karol and KC's and took the kids swimming.

After we got cleaned up and ate dinner and watched basketball. On Saturday we got up and went to Braxton and Isaac's flag football games.

We then went to the outside mall had lunch shopped around and let the kids play on the outside play ground. Desmond loved being outside all day. We then went back and all fell asleep watched basketball ate dinner and played games. Perfect ending to our vacation.

He opened one present and couldn't wait to open the next. The next present he opened was his Toy Story toys we should have saved that for last cause ounce it was opened he didn't want to open any more he just wanted to play with them. We all opened our presents and started making breakfast. My brother Jason and sister in law Mandy came and then my sister Heather and brother in law Cameron and nephew Colton came we ate and them my grandma came. We opened more presents it was so much fun. Then Brian's mom and Jan came to see us. We had so much fun doing nothing all day.

Catch Up

2010-12-29T01:31:00.000-08:00

I know it has been a while since I have posted. We have been going through lots of changes in our little family. First Brian started school so he leaves the house at 7:00 am and doesn't get home until after 9:00 pm. I started staying home during he day with Desmond and working at night so I go to work at 8:00 pm and get home at 4:30 am. So I have had no time to do anything. Here is some of what we have been up to.

Each year my family tries to go to Lagoon we went this year in September it was a lot of fun to go as a family and ride the rides. Desmond loved going on the Mary go round.

My littel sister Heather got married in October it was very pretty and she made a beautiful bride. It was so fun going with her to pick out her dress.

Halloween 2010 we dressed Desmond up as a Dragon the cutest one ever. My parents came up and took us to dinner and then we took Desmond out to a couple of our neighbors to go trick or treating. It was so much fun.

Thanksgiving this year we spent it at my parents house. Desmond loved his food so much he mixed it all together. Lets just say my mom made us put bags all around him so that food wouldn't get all over her floor. Its a good thing she did cause he got it all over the bags.

Desmond's Birthday

2010-08-16T20:52:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my baby is a year old. Where did the last 12 months go. He is so big and he just gets cuter by the day. We decided to throw him a BIG party for his 1st birthday with our family and friends it was so much fun. Desmond love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so we based his party on that. My amazing sister in law Mandy made him an amazing cakes they were so cute I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate her for doing it for us. We decided to have a BBQ and thanks to the Munson's they made it possible letting us use their back yard. Here our some pictures of the party and all of his presents it was Christmas in August at the Jorgensens house.

Desmond's 1st Birthday Pictures

2010-08-08T19:57:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we took Desmond to get his pictures taken at Sears they turned out so cute I just had to share them with everyone.

24th Weekend

2010-07-27T17:46:00.000-07:00

This was Desmond's first 24th we had so much fun. B and I had Friday off so we slept in late and then got ready and headed down to Sanpete. My dad was mowing the lawn and Desmond was fascinated with the riding lawn mower so we let him go on a ride with grandpa and he loved every minute of it.

Then Brian, Tyler and I got up super early on Saturday like 5:00 am to go golfing the way I played I should have stayed in bed. Then we came home got ready and headed to the Fairview parade there was so many people there. We then headed up to the Jorgensen's cabin up Fairview canyon it was so fun to see everyone and to be up the in beautiful mountains with family and friends. We then headed back to Betty and Jan's and let Desmond and Whitney swim it was so fun to watch them. Looking at the pictures you would think that they are the same age but no Desmond it 5 month younger.

Then we hung out and relaxed until Brian and I had to go get Nicole from Fairview. Well on our way there we were about a mile outside of Fairview and we hit a deer are whole front of our car is wrecked and we told Nicole that it was all her fault. It was so scary and funny at the same time cause the weekend before on our way down to my parents house we about hit a deer. Brian swerved to miss it so we said it was our final destination we cheated hitting that one so that's why we hit this one. We then slept in and headed back up home on Sunday.

It was a great weekend. Thanks Tyler, Jessica and Whitney for the fun weekend.

Bryce Marathon

2010-07-22T17:51:00.000-07:00

For the past 2 1/2 months Brian and I have been training for a 1/2 marathon down in Bryce Canyon. The marathon was on July 17. Our amazing friend Laura helped us with a schedule to get prepared for it. We have been running every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday's. My little sister Heather decided she was going to do it with us she didn't really train so we didn't know if she was going to make it. On July 3 our schedule was to run 13 miles to see if we could do it. Brian, Heather and I drove to Ftn Green left our car and ran from there back to Moroni around the Middle school and back to my parent running 12.3 miles which was pretty good so we felt we were going to be ok. Brain and I took off work Friday the 16 so that we could get down there early and relax. We left on Thursday night and stayed at my parents so that they could watch Desmond. We left Friday at 12:00 pm and got to Marysville and got stuck in construction for 25 min it was horrible.

We finally made it to Bryce at about 4:00 pm. We checked into our hotel and settled in. We had to drive the race to check in we couldn't believe how much down hill we were going to have to run and we felt good see what the run was going to be. We got all checked in for the race and went to dinner with Heather, Cameron and Colton then went back and got ready for bed.

Before

We had to be to the starting line by 6:00 am when we got up to the starting line we couldn't believe how many people there was. The race began and we felt great we were running 9 min miles and we felt like we were making great time. By mile 8 we started to slow down. Heather was running with us the whole time and then she said she was going to walk for a while so we went a head with out her. By mile 10 I was ready to quit but Brian was not going to let that happen she stayed with me the whole time pushing me and helping me get through it. We made it to the finish line at 2 hours and 19 min we felt really good about it. Brian could have made it a lot faster but he wouldn't leave me your the best babe I am so glad we did this it was such a great experience.

After

We are planning on running another one on Aug 28 in Logan and we hope to improve our time. We got ready and left back to Sanpete that night we knew what we had done I have never been that sore ever. Sunday neither one of us could move I think by Wednesday we finally didn't walk like we had been riding a horse all day.

Summer Update

2010-07-06T19:03:00.000-07:00

I know it's been a while but we have been a little busy. To start off the summer my little sister Nicole came up to our house and stay a week, it was so much fun to have her here with us we took Desmond to the Zoo he was more interested in the kids running around then he was in the animals but it was worth it B has never been so it was fun.

The week of June 21-25 was our wards girls camp and I am the director so I have been busy getting that all done. Our stake went up to Heber Valley it was so much fun I have the best young women ever. I had so much fun I hope they all had as much fun.

On June 24 Brian and I's Nephew got married so I got to come home for a night from camp and go to the Ogden temple with them it was so nice they are a very cute couple. B was not able to go cause the Friday before he was called and told that he was an alternate for the 2010 Rad tech program we were so excited cause that is two years ahead of schedule so he had to go to a meeting on the day of the wedding. He is in the program this year we can't wait. Our lives are going to change for the next two years but it is going to be well worth it.On June 29th I went to Eclipse with my best friend Steph and some ladies from Sanpete along with my sister in law Jessica it was so much fun to see it before it came out that night. Then Jessica and I went again to the 12:30 am showing it was so worth getting only 2 hours of sleep to go watch it twice thanks Steph and Jessica for the great night.

We went down to Sanpete for the 4th it was a lot of fun. B, Heather and I got up on Saturday and went running for 13 miles then we came home and got ready for the parades. Desmond had so much fun at the Moroni and Mt Pleasants parades. We then stayed at Julie and Dave's for the Jorgensen BBQ then after B surprised me with a night at the Manti Inn the bed and breakfast were we stayed the night we got married for an early anniversary so we went and checked in and then went back to Moroni for my families BBQ and fireworks. Desmond loved the fireworks he didn't move until they were done it was so fun to watch him.

On Monday we filled up Desmond's swimming pool and we let him swim he is our little fish. That is what has been going on in the Jorgensen family.

Brian's Surgery

2010-04-21T20:08:00.000-07:00

Brian's surgery went very well. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and fasting before he went in. Last week was such a blur. Sunday Brian and I were able to go to B's sisters for our nephew's birthday which was so much fun. B had asked his brother Ty and brother in law Maurico to give him a blessing. It was such a wonderful blessing I cried the whole time and could not believe how much I could feel the spirit. Then on Monday my amazing sister in law Jessica made us dinner and her and Ty and Whitney came over to eat. I was GREAT thanks again. Then the fast began. B and I went to bed that night but I think between the two of us we slept about 4 hours. We got up on Tuesday at 4:30 am and got ready to leave. Thank you Shelly for taking Desmond until my mother in law made it up here. We got to the hospital and they informed us that he would go in at 8:30 am. I can't tell you all of the things that was going through my mind. The Dr had told us that it would take 2 1/2 to 3 hours for the surgery so I settled myself in for the wait. My heart dropped when the Dr came in after an hour and half. I thought what happened is he ok. The Dr informed me that everything went GREAT and that he was in the recovery room and that his spleen weight about 5 or 6lbs. I waited for an hour and then they told me the room he would be in . So I headed up to the room. I waited there for another 20 min for him to arrive. When he finally came he was feeling pretty good. When I knew that he was good I went home to get Desmond packed for his week in Sanpete and to let Betty go see B. My parents came later that day and we got Desmond's stuff ready for them to take down. It was so sad to have him leave we missed him so much. He got to spend Tuesday night and Wednesday morning with Grandma J and then went to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Fredrickson.

Brian and I spend Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning at the hospital with B hooked up to is epidural, Iv and everything else they had on him. I stayed home from work to help him out I don't think we realized how major this surgery was and I am so glad that my boss and co workers are so amazing to understand me being gone. Thanks to everyone that came to see him and the phone calls.

I want to thank our amazing ward we have been getting dinner brought to us every night since Wednesday the food has been so great and it has been such a stress reliever for me not having to worry about it. Shelly I want to tell you THANK YOU so much I don't know what I would do without you. You are the greatest friend ever!

Easter

2010-04-10T13:43:00.000-07:00

This was Desmond's first Easter and it was a lot of fun. We got up on Saturday morning packed up and headed down to Sanpete. We hung out with my family then B and my dad went to the priesthood session of conference. While they were gone My mom, Nicole, Desmond and I colored Easter eggs and Desmond was having fun rolling around in the plastic eggs my mom put on the floor for him to play with.

When they got back B was complaining that his spleen was really swollen and that he was not feeling good at all. So he called Jan to ask him what he thought he should do. He told him to go the the ER and so we did. We headed down to Gunnison were they took his blood and gave him a CT scan. They came back and told us that his blood count was very low at 28 and asked if he wanted a transfusion of course he wouldn't do it. Then they told him that his spleen was really big and should really get it out. We have known that he should have it out for the last three years but he just kept putting it off. Well they released him and we went back to my parents for the night. Sunday morning the Easter bunny found Desmond he got two new spring outfits a car and a cute basketball basket. Grandma and Grandpa gave him an outfit, shirts, PJ, bubbles and a pez. Well we watched conference and got dinner ready. My brother Jason and my sister in law Mandy came we ate an amazing dinner and watch conference. We then left and came home.

Monday B called and got an appointment for the surgeon to see him on Wednesday he went to work and when he got home was so tired and still had a swollen spleen. Tuesday B stayed home from work not feeling good at all so Desmond and him played and slept all day. On Wednesday we met with the surgeon and he told B that he has worked with a lot of spleens before but never any as big as his. They set up the surgery for Tuesday April 13. They had to give him three shots and of course that wouldn't go smoothly he either had a reaction to the shots of an infection his arm swelled up and was so hot and red. Now he is on medicine for that. Thanks Mike for coming over and easing my mind with looking at it. Thanks to Shelly for taking Desmond Friday and Saturday while B slept and I got my house clean I don't know what I would do without you. I can't wait for Tuesday to come and be over so B will finally feel better. Love you and I hope it all goes good.

To make things even better Desmond started cutting his two bottom teeth so I have to little baby boys to take care of.

Spring Break

2010-03-29T18:13:00.000-07:00

This weekend B, Desmond and I went to Beaver Dam with my parents little sister and her friend (also B and I cousin). First my dad called us Thursday afternoon wanting us to go down so we scrambled around trying to find people to take our lessons and getting everything ready so that we could leave when B got off of work. Friday I got off of work came home feed Desmond started packing thinking I had until seven or eight to be ready. Well B called at 5:30 pm saying they let him leave early and that he was on his way home. I hurried to get as much packed as I could before he got home. We got the car pack up and headed out of Salt Lake at 6:30 pm. We got to Fillmore to stop for a drink and stretch our legs Desmond was glad to get out for a while. We then headed down to road to hit SNOW yes SNOW (that word is a swear word in my vocabulary). Well we drove in between 35 to 45 from Filmore to Cedar the longest two hours of my life by then Desmond was ready to be out of his car seat he was so fussy. Well we finally made it to Beaver Dam to my aunts house at 12:30 am. Everyone was so glad to see Desmond so of course we didn't lay him down until almost 2:00 am. Then we all finally went to sleep.

Saturday B and I were woken up by are little angel at 7:00 am yes 7:00 am. He was so happy and was not going back to sleep. We tried everything but no he wasn't having it. Finally grandma and grandpa got up and wanted to play with him so we handed him off and B and I went for a run it was so nice to run outside in short sleeves and shorts and not be cold. We then all got ready and drove to St George. We dropped the boys off at the golf course I was a little sad I didn't get to go but it was my choice not to. I decided to go shop with the girls and we had fun plus I really didn't want to leave Desmond with grandma for five hours. Well we went to the mall and go Desmond a car stroller he was having a ball in it. He definitely has Fredrickson blood in him he already loves cars. Well after a day of shopping and golf we headed back to Beaver Dam and got freshened up for Dinner in Mesquite. We ate and then we went bowling it was so much fun. We then went back and went to bed.

Sunday morning our angel got us up again at 7:30 am but my amazing mom was awake so she came and got him and let B and I go back to bed. Thanks mom your the best. We then got up got packed and headed out at about 2:00 pm. We stopped in St George for dinner with my parents and then headed on our way home. We made it to Payson with no problems when we seen the traffic coming to a complete stop so we deiced to get off the exit and take a detour. So glad we did we found out later that a trailer with cows rolled and traffic was stopped for two hours. We really would have been in trouble cause by the time we hit Pleasant Grove Desmond had had it and he cried the rest of the way home. We had so fun regardless. Thanks mom, dad, Nicole and Miranda for the great weekend.

Update

2010-03-19T16:56:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since I have blogged. We have been busy and sick for the past 3 months. I started a part time job along with my full time job at the end of January so that has taken a lot of my time. Here is what we have been up to.

January: The start of 2010 I can't believe that it is 2010 and that I will have be graduated for 10 years where did the time go. At the end of January B's hero came to the energy solution center so of course we had to go watch Lebron "James" play ball so Desmond could see the man that he got his middle name from. In his 5 months Desmond has learned to roll over front and back and we have learned he doesn't like his tummy to much.

February: The month of love. For Valentines B was so sweet I had to work that day and so he got Desmond ready for the day picked up the house and then Desmond and him went and bought me 2 shirts and a dozen roses. He is so sweet to me. He then took me to dinner at the Olive Garden. It was a great day. Desmond had his 6 month check up. He weighted 18.6 and 27 and 1/2 inches long putting him at 50% in his weight and 95% in height. I guess it true what they say like father like son cause he is tall and skinny. Dr Wall also gave me the go ahead to feed Desmond baby food it was an experience to do that the first time. He had more on his face then he did in his mouth. Desmond has been learning to sit up and we learned he LOVES his bouncer that my sister in law Jess let me barrow it is a life savior I can put him in it and he will jump for hours letting me get my house clean and keeping himself entertained while I am calling my clients. We also went and seen B's really good friend at the hospital it was so good to see him and his positive attitude about getting better. Our prayers and with you Cody. B and I started P90x and we were so good for 3 weeks doing it every night.

March: This month so far has been a month of sickness. The first week all three of us got colds. It started with Desmond getting a runny nose then he started coughing so hard he would throw up. It was so sad to watch. Then B started getting sick with a soar throat and runny nose then I got it. So there went the fourth week for P90x. So we tried the next week to start up again and I got sick again Monday March 8 I woke up for work and was getting ready for work and almost passed out twice. So I stayed home with dizzy spells, soar throat, and a runny nose. Then I was fine the next two days and on Wednesday night I went to bed at 11:00 pm waking up with cold chills and in the bathroom for every hour on the hour praising the toilet from 1:00 am to 7:00 am Thursday. I have never been so sick. I got better and on Saturday B got it. We did manage to go to our niece Whitney's 1st birthday party so much fun. Happy Birthday sweet girl we love you. We then made our way to Sanpete to see our family and my poor grandma Nunley got sick. Whatever this stuff is SUCKS. We are all better now thank goodness. Desmond is 7 months were did the last 7 months go? He is sitting up by himself rolling everywhere and we are trying to teach him to crawl. I can't believe how fast they grow up I swear it was just yesterday I was waking B up to tell him he was going to be a dad. We have loved every minute of being parents and we have the best baby. He goes to bed at 9:30 pm and gets up at 10: 00 am it is so nice. He is always happy and smiling he is so even tempered I know he got that from his dad.

So there is an update of the Jorgensen family I hope next time won't be so long.

Christmas

2009-12-28T17:21:00.004-08:00

This Christmas was so fun. It was Desmond's first Christmas so we spoiled him. We went down to my parents on Christmas Eve and our tradition on Christmas eve is getting PJ's and playing phase 10 until 12:00 or 1:00 it was a lot of fun. We even bought Desmond's some PJ's they where reindeer and they are so cute he looked so cute. We then went to bed. We got woken up at 7:00 am by my two sisters that are 17 and 14 they couldn't wait to see what Santa brought them yes I know you would think they would sleep in but no. It was so fun to see Desmond rip into his presents. He got a bouncer and a mobile and lots of toys and clothes. We then had brunch like we do every year and then my brother and his wife came. We exchanged presents and relaxed in our PJ's all day it was so nice. On Saturday we got up got ready and went to lunch with my family and then my mother in law and her husband came to see us at my parents we then played games with my family and watch the notebook. On Sunday we got up and went to church with my family then left to come home. We stop at B's two sisters and his brothers to see what Santa brought the kids. It was so fun to see everyone.

Christma's Pictures

2009-12-02T21:08:00.000-08:00

My sister in law and I thought it would be a good Christmas present to go and get our babies pictures taken for Christmas for our mother in law, and it was they turned out so cute. We were a little scared that they wouldn't play well together but they did amazing. I have to say we have two of the cutest babies!!!!!

Update

2009-11-14T22:07:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I blogged last. It's been a busy couple of weeks. We took Desmond to Fotogenix to get his pictures taken a couple of weekends ago and I had to share them with everyone they are so cute and he was so good getting them taken.

For Halloween we dressed him up as a Dragon and he was just that when he got into his costume he hated it but he looked so so cute. We went down and spent the holiday with our families in Sanpete.

I then spent the last remaining days with my mom and sisters before I had to go back to work on the 9th. Desmond and I came home from Sanpete on Wednesday night and went to my nephew Colby's football game with my sister in law Jessica and my niece Whitney on that Friday we had so much fun spending the day with them thanks for the fun day. I then returned to work on Monday this week it has been a long week it was so hard to leave my baby but I know he is in great hands with his sisters. He loves hanging out with them all though they say all he does is sleep. We are so lucky he is home 4 out of he 5 days. We have a cute girl from our ward watch him on Mondays and Fridays and my sister in law Jess has been so kind to watch him on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and our incredible landlord Shelley takes him on Thursdays.

Desmond is 3 months today I can not believe how time has gone. He is getting so big he loves to smile and he is trying to giggle it is so fun to watch him grow. He is a night owl he doesn't go to bed until 2 or 3 in the morning so him and dad hangout why mom goes to bed to get up for work at 5. He is his dad's boy.

HAPPY 30TH

2009-10-27T21:34:00.000-07:00

I wanted to tell Brian HAPPY 30th. Ya I am a little late. B turned 30 on Sunday I have been teasing him that he is getting old. We had a birthday party at tsunami with friends and family it was so much fun. Happy birthday old man. HAHA. Love you!!!!

Two Months

2009-10-19T20:21:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Desmond is two months old. On October 11 Brian blessed Desmond it was a great blessing. We had so many of our family and friends come to support us. It was so nice to get both families up here and to enjoy a nice lunch after the blessing.

Desmond's blessing outfit was made by my sister-in-law Kyria's mother Dale it is so cute and Desmond looked so handsome in it.

On the 15th we had Desmond's two month appointment he weights 12 lbs 10 oz and is 24 inches, the Dr asked me if I was sure this was his 2 month and not his 4 month. He is 95% in his height and 75% in his weight. He defiantly takes after his dad. On Saturday B and I went golfing with my brother Jason and sister in law Mandy it was so nice to get out of the house and to get some sun. It was hard to leave my baby at home I don't know how I will go to work and leave him.

UEA Weekend

2009-10-06T22:25:00.000-07:00

I know that B and I are not in school but we still had a great UEA weekend. On Thursday Oct 1 our nephew yes I said nephew got married to the cutest girl Sarah. We wish Kevin and her the greatest life.

On Friday night we went down to Sanpete and stayed with my parents. On Saturday we had a barbecue with some of B's family. The kids were outside playing and the next thing I see out the window is B and Scott running around Troy's front lawn with a ball. The kids challenged the two to a kick ball game it was so fun to watch I just had to take pictures I thought the two of them where going to have heartaches. After about a half hour I just had to join in on the fun it was a blast to play the kids didn't want to stop.

We then went to dinner with my parents and stayed the night at B's moms. On Sunday we had a lot of stops on the way home. I finally went and seen my best friend Steph and her kids, then we stopped at the hospital to see my great grandma. We then went and seen Jason and Mandy it was so nice to see you guys and we are so glad you are home don't leave us again. We made our finale stop at B's brother Scott's his mother-in-law is making Desmond's blessing outfit so we had to get him fitted. We were so glad when we made it home.

Bronco's/Raiders

2009-09-27T16:52:00.000-07:00

So football has began and that only means one thing Bronco's and Raiders playing each other. They played today Sunday Sept 27 we decided we would let Desmond decide when he is old enough to which team he will cheer for until then we will dress him in both gear so we did his jersey was a little big but it worked so thanks aunt Jessica for getting him the jersey!!!!

Sanpete

2009-09-27T16:14:00.000-07:00

Desmond and I went to Sanpete Sept 13 Thur 20. We had so much fun and was so busy the whole time we where down there. My parents were so excited for us to be there, my sisters were a big help and they both fell asleep holding Desmond. Monday we hung out with my sister Heather for most of the morning and afternoon then my cousin Staci and her kids came over to see us we had lots of fun with them. On Tuesday we went to lunch with my cousin Jamie and my best friend Stephanie it was so much fun to get caught up with what was going on. Then that night my family went to Mt. Pleasant and watched my sister Heather play softball it was a lot of fun but sad cause I wasn't playing. They asked me to play with them there second game I had so much fun even though I haven't played since B and I got married I think I did pretty good. On Wednesday we hung out with my cousin Jamie she did my nails and toes so it was good for me. Then we went down and had dinner with my mother-in-law and her husband it was so good and so great to see them. On Thursday we where at my aunt Reba's all day from 11 am to 10 pm. Desmond got to experience his first club when I took him up to my mom to see all the ladies that she plays boncos with. They were excited to see him cause the day I went in to have him it was my mom's turn to host boncos so they where all excited for him arrive. On Friday we went and hung out with my Grandma all day it was so fun to be with her and for Desmond to get to be with her. Saturday we went to my cousin Shandi's baby shower and then went and did 5 generation pictures with my great grandma Myrth, grandma Myrna, my mom Connie , myself and Desmond it was such a fun experience to have that done. We where almost up to my grandma Myrth's late enough to bring in her 94 birthday on Sunday. We finally started on our way back up to Salt Lake on Sunday with a stop in Provo to our Nephew Travis's farewell we are so excited for him.

Five Generations

3 Weeks

2009-09-02T21:49:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my baby is almost 3 weeks old. He is such a joy to have in our home. B and I have been blessed with a great baby he sleeps between 4 to 6 hours at night so it's been nice. Desmond HATES his bath on Sunday we were giving him his bath we turned him over on his tummy to wash his back and he started sucking on his arm. My parents came up and my dad was holding him and I noticed a purple mark on his arm. He had sucked so hard on his arm he gave himself a monkey bite!!!! Ya I know I about died!!! He hates getting his diaper changed and he enjoys trying to shot B and I he has yet to get us but I am sure the day is going to come. I didn't think I could love anything as much as I love this little guy. We are enjoying being parents. He has changed so much and he just gets cuter and cuter everyday.

Desmond James Jorgensen

2009-08-18T08:49:00.000-07:00

Desmond is finally here. Desmond was born on August 14, 2009. On Thursday afternoon B and I were having lunch at work and he told me I needed to go and get my blood pressure taken, I asked him why and he just said I don't know I just think you should. My blood pressure has not been high throughout the pregnancy but Dr Terry told me if it was in the mid 80's he would start me at my next appointment. I had the nurse at work take it and to our surprise I was 152/98 so I called the Dr and they had me come in. When we got to the office it went up to 164/100. Yeah, it was high so they made me rest and then take it again it went down to 150/90 but that is still high. Dr Terry walked into the room and shook B's hand and said Congratulations your going to be a dad tonight. I was admitted into the hospital right then.

I progressed fast and at 1:23 am Desmond was born 7 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long. He is so cute we are so excited to have him here. We are so lucky he is a great baby!!!! We had lots of visitors come and see us at the hospital but we are enjoying being home. My mom has come and stayed with us and has helped us so much! Thanks mom you are the BEST!!!!!

B loves taking pictures so here are some that are so cute!!!!

Busy Month

2009-07-14T19:52:00.000-07:00

We have had a very busy month already. On Friday July 3rd my friend Krystal came up to Salt Lake I have not seen her since her wedding 4 years ago. It was so good to see her. She is pregnant with her first baby and is due 10 days after me. B and I then went down to Sanpete to celebrate the 4th with our families. We go up and went to Moroni and Mt Pleasant's parades were my little sister Nicole was in both with the drill team.

We then stayed at B's cousin Julie's house for the Jorgensen BBQ it was so good and great to see all of the family that was there. We then went to my parents and relaxed for a while. My parents always have a BBQ at there house the night of the 4th were all my aunts and cousins come to watch the fireworks so we helped my mom get ready for that. My cousin Karole came up from Arizona for a month and I have not seen her in a year, we got to meet her new baby Kole. I have to say we miss you Karole...

We were disappointed when it started to get really windy and rain so we didn't get to see fireworks very sad. On the 5th we went to my cousin Staci's little girl Tana's baby blessing. We had a doctors appointment on the 6th. Desmond's heart is still really strong and he is turned correctly.

On July 7th B and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary. It has been an amazing 2 years. Brian you are the best husband and you are going to make an amazing father. We went to dinner to celebrate. On July 8th my Young Women's threw me a baby shower for our ward. We were so blessed with gifts and money. Thank you so much to everyone that came and gave us gifts.

On Saturday B and I went back to Sanpete where my mom and best friend Traci threw me another baby shower. It was so nice you guys did amazing. Of course we had so much food and treats it was great.

I was so glad to see everyone that came. Thanks to everyone!!!! Know we are set for Desmond to come 32 days and counting:)

Flooring

2009-06-30T20:42:00.001-07:00

When B gets something going in his head he doesn't quit until it's done. I said something to him about 2 weeks ago about putting hardwood flooring in our apartment before Desmond came. B went right to our landlords and asked them if we could and of course they said yes. We have the best landlords they let us do anything we want to our apartment and they pay for it. So thanks Shelly and Gary. So that was on Monday June 15 and on June 22 B went and talked to them again and they came on Wednesday June 24 and gave us the money to do it. B then went to Home Dept that night to see which one to do. We bought the flooring on Thursday June 25 and started working on it Friday after work. Woke up Saturday and worked from 9:30 am to 7:00 pm, then came home from church on Sunday worked from 1:00 pm until 9:30 pm. He did a great job and it made a huge difference to our little home. You are great babe!!!! Here are some before and after pictures.

Girls Camp

2009-06-18T21:09:00.000-07:00

This week was girls camp for our ward. In March they asked me to be the camp director and I told them I would be 7 months pregnant but I would do what I could. We went up on Monday to the Heber Valley Camp. It is so nice and pretty up there. The girls loved it they stayed in the cabin most of the day eating candy and playing games. We made flip flops and ate Cafe Rio for dinner.

I then had B come get me that night (glad to sleep in my own bed).

I then went up on Thursday with some of the other ladies in young women's. It rained all morning but the girls did get a hike in before it got to bad. It then cleared up so we walked up to the lake and enjoyed the sun.

For dinner that night we did a dinner for the bishopric. We just set the tables up and slapped the food on the table with no plates. The girls LOVED it. We also made Tie die shirts it was so fun!!!!

Desmond's Room

2009-06-18T21:01:00.000-07:00

My husband is the BEST!!! We found the bedding we wanted for Desmond's nursery so he told me to buy it and we could start get the nursery painted. So we bought it and decided what color we wanted to paint. Of course B wouldn't let me help which I was sad about because I love to paint. When he started he just wanted to finish. He got it all done in three days. You are the best babe. It turned out so cute!!!!!

Happy Anniversary

2009-06-04T20:50:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to tell my Mom and Dad Happy 27th Anniversary. B and I were able to go to dinner with them last night and have them stay at our house. We love you both.

Busy!!!!

2009-05-30T19:22:00.001-07:00

It's been a while since I have posted sorry!!!! We have been so busy with work and playing. As soon as the snow melts and is warm enough B and I try to go golfing during the weekend. So I really have not had time to sit down and blog. Here are some pictures of one of our trips with my mom and dad down at Palisade golf course where I (six months pregnant) was the only one out of the three of us golfing to get a par.

B swinging away.

My dad getting ready!

My mom watching us golf your a sport mom!!!

We have also been busy cleaning out Desmond's room and trying to prepare for his arrival in August. I have also been trying to get girls camp done so I have been slacking on the blogging.
B got my last year birthday present ready to sell today so I am a little sad. He promises to buy me another one later when he is done with school and we are able to afford it. So if you know anyone that wants to buy a Mustang GT send them our way.

Spoiled Baby

2009-04-12T20:47:00.000-07:00

So as soon as my husband found out that we were expecting a boy he immediately went shopping on line for some clothes and shoes for Desmond. Most of you know that B loves Lebron James so of course he had to buy him some Lebron shoes, the kid won't fit into them until he is two but I have to say they are very cute!!!!!

He also bought him two Jordan onesies these he can wear when he is born and they are so cute, this kid will be styling!!!

Oh don't worry he has Jordan shoes coming to the house next week.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!

2009-03-24T19:20:00.000-07:00

Today Brian, my mom, my dad and I went to hospital for our ultrasound to find out if all is well with the baby and to see what we are having. We got into the room and our little guy was sleeping on his little belly. He must be our baby cause we both sleep that way. We got to see the spin and all his organs were in place. As the lady was moving around he finally went on to his back but he had his legs crossed so we didn't know if we were going to be able to tell what we were going to be now what he was. Just then he stretched out and sure enough it's a BOY!!! When I looked over B had a smile from ear to ear, he thought it was a girl so he was so EXCITED!!! Lets just say grandma and grandpa and very thrilled also. We then were able to see his cute little face. We are so excited we can't wait for him to come.

Here I am in all my glory of being 5 months pregnant.

Greatest Valentine's

2009-02-15T16:48:00.000-08:00

I had the GREATEST Valentine's Day ever. I know most of you will say your husband is the best but I have to say that mine is the BEST husband. He told me about a week ago that he had a great day planned for us but would not tell me anything. Trust me I tried to get it out of him but no go. All I knew is that I had to be ready to go in a dress by 1:15 pm. We left the house and went to downtown Salt Lake. Brian suprised me by taking me to the ballet. I have told him how much I would love to go to the ballet and so he took me. We went to Madam Butterfly. It was so good.

Brian then took me to Chefs table in Provo. It was a very nice dinner. Thanks Walker for hooking us up. Let me tell you we ate really well. I thought that after dinner my night was perfect and that he really couldn't do any more. Not so I came home to a rose petal bed and floor and a candle light room with a dozen roses. Thanks Erin for playing cupid and making our night so special.

It was the GREATEST Valentine's Day ever thanks to the BEST husband ever. I LOVE YOU so much Brian, thanks for all you do for me!!!!!!

Cavaliers and Jazz Game

2009-01-28T20:22:00.000-08:00

Brian and I went to the Cavaliers and Jazz game on Saturday. One thing you need to know is my husband LOVES Labron James. Our dog is named after him (Jabron). Brian insisted that we go to the game early so that we could watch Labron warm up. We waited for almost an hour before the team came out to practice and seeing my husbands face was like a little kid at Christmas. The game was really good our seats on the other hand not so great. We sat on the 20 row of 21 in the upper bowl. Jazz lead at half time by two but in the second half Labron and the boys really came to life. He had a lot of amazing dunks and the Cave's won! Brian I am glad you enjoyed your Christmas present but next year PLEASE get better seats than the nose bleeds!!!!!

Broncos or Raiders

2008-11-23T18:29:00.000-08:00

As most of you know Brian is a huge Oakland Raiders fan. On the other hand I am huge Denver Bronocs fan. Our teams play each other twice a year. Lets just say on those two days we have a hard time being nice to each other. HAHAHAHA. No, for the most part we do pretty good. Last year we had the opportunity to go to Oakland with my brother Jason and his friend Matt Osbourn to watch the two teams. It was so much fun. We were hoping to go again this year but no such luck. Well today our teams played each other so we had to get dressed up for the big game and I thought you could see how cute we look!

Brian's Birthday

2008-11-06T18:10:00.000-08:00

Our Wedding Day

2007-09-30T13:04:00.000-07:00

Brian and I were married 07/07/07 in the Manti LDS Temple. It was a wonderful day for us. One of the nice things about the day is that there was a fire in the southern part of the state so it was an over cast all around and made it a nice cool day. We shared our wonderful day with family and friends at a luncheon at Manti House Inn and then did a Open House in Mt. Pleasant. We then spent three wonderful days in 120 degree weather in Las Vegas.
