U of U game

these are pictures of us at the U of U BYU game. Erik bought us all u of u shirts and took us to the tailgating party. The kids got u of U tattoo's and we all had a great time. We left erik there to try to buy some tickets, Unfortunately he did not bring enough money and he ended up watching it in the visitor center. Next year we will get tickets for at least erik and the boys to go and see a game.

Halloween fun

talmages Halloween party at school

some of the grand kids at grandma jorgensens house at our Halloween party

Hayden is a power ranger

Talmage wanted to be a vampire cowboy

So this year for Halloween we decide to have the kids go a the very special costume store. Its name was our basement. We have had so many costumes from both boys plus Christmas gifts and past Halloweens I did not want to go and buy or make one more costume this year. Lilly decide with my help to be Dorthy she had the dress from last spring and i bought the shoes and there you go a way cute Dorthy.

crafty fun

I decided that the kids needed a craft to do on the last day of there brake so we got some old formula cans painted them black and made them look like cats or whatever scary thing they wanted to. This is also the first time I have downloaded pictures with the help of kirsti eriks sister. She has been staying with us while I have been recovering from my surgery. more about that to come.

bangs and bongks

so Sam has decided to crawl about a 3 weeks ago and went to barely being able to move across the floor to now moving very fast and pulling himself up on everything. which then he gets stuck and cry's until i get him or he falls and bangs his head. Also he moves so fast that he does not look at what is in front of him and bonks his head. He is so much work now its a good thing we are done because I do not think I could do this crawling stage again.

I would love to write more especially about our trip to Disneyland but SAM keeps falling and banging his head so I will write more later

school has started

Yea school has started talmage is in first grade and so far hates it. he thinks it is boring and long. I think maybe at school he does not mind it so much it is just when he gets home and is tired and hungry he get mad about it. he is started to get really good at reading all the sudden we have been struggling with it with him , But all the sudden he just seems to be getting it YEA.

Hayden on the other hand loves school he thinks it is brilliant and fun. He likes his class and his teachers and his favorite word is brilliant. before school started we took all the kids camping at the ward camp out where they had a great time playing with all the friends from church. we also were able to go hiking to donut falls and the kids did great they all walked the whole way even lilly.

Lilly will start school next week and she is very excited. right now she is in dance and loves it . she keeps asking when she gets to get on stage and do a dance again. She is a born entertainer. lilly is such a sweet girl every morning she gets up and says good morning mom and today she added today is a beautiful day I am so grateful for her sweet spirit in our home.

Sam is almost crawling he can sit by himself and has for about 3 weeks now. He is still the happiest baby. Except on certain occasions like today I had taken a shower and had a towel on my head and I looked at him and said HI cute baby and smiled and he looked at me and burst into tears full on crying . As soon as I took the towel off he calmed down and was my happy baby again.

I am so grateful for these great kids i love them all so much and will try to keep up on all they do more often so I will not forget all the great and funny things they do.

hail and hell

We had a big summer storm last week and after if was done the streets were flooded and are corn which Erik had been trying to grow all year was flatten. The kids decided to go out and play on the tramp which was covered in hail. I told Hayden not to eat the hail, and he replied ' oh yea mom we don't want to eat the hail because it is all the people that are in hell hu mom". Not sure what to say I just had to laugh and say oh hayden it's not people you are eating its just frozen water. I am not sure he believed me and I am sure we will have to have many more conversation about the difference in hail and hell but at least we got a way cure story from it.


Lilly on the other hand just talks about how she wants a sister and how its not fair that tirah has a sister and brily her Friend has one. I had to explain that we are not having anymore babies but that her cousin tirah can be her sister and even better she won't have to share her clothes


Sam is the most smiley baby is the words we hear from everyone and it's true he is the happiest baby ever. He is always happy and smiley he just a his first gram cracker today at church Eriks idea, and he got himself and dad covered he had fun and I think erik realized that I was wright about not giving him crackers at church

Talmage has just been a good big brother ever time we leave and one of the kids are not with us he says where is so and so. He is always looking out for the other kids, Sam was sick last week with a ear infection, He had a fever and a stuffy nose talmage was all worried saying "should i go and get the humidifier for him ", and" Mom did you give him the medicine." He is such a good big brother

crazy summer

so we have had a crazy summer we started in july with eriks family coming to tow. we all meet at eriks moms house and did fireworks and sleep in the trailer with the family. after that we all went up to island park where we had a great time boating and hanging out with the family. Then erik and I had to go home and leave the kids so that I could go to girls camp with sam Erik was able to come up for part of the time and we had allot of fun. after that we came home and erik went to Idaho to get all the kids and bring them home.

that was just up until the 10th after that doranna and kirsti and heidi plus all the kids and husbands came to stay we decided to go to the temple and then to the gateway to play in the water. but of course all went wrong which i will have to blog later sam needs me
