Christmas 2011

Ryker was so excited to walk down the stairs to see what Santa brought him. Little sissy didn't know what was going on. Daddy went down to get the camera and video camera ready and Grandma Opal was down stairs waiting to see the kids faces light up with joy !!!

Well they both were surprised to see what Santa brought them Ryker his first BIG remote control truck and sissy her first baby doll :)

Jenacee loved her new baby doll and even fed her a bottle and gave her a push in the stroller it was to cute :)

Ryker was happy that he got a new pirate ship !!! He loved everything he got

We were so happy to spend Christmas morning with grandma Opal this year and I think the kids thought it was fun .. Thanks grandma Opal for taking us to Disneyland in February for our Christmas!!

My 2 sweet kiddos Love them so much !!

Grandpa and Grandma Jorgensen came over Christmas morning to spread there joy . They always know how to make our kids happy :) thanks Mom and Dad for all the great gifts love you both very much.

Later Christmas day we made our way to see Grandma Jorgensen , Jenacee wasn't to thrilled to sit on her lap .

Christmas evening we went to my Mom and Dads to visit with my grandma Allan and once again Jenacee wasn't to happy to sit for another photo . Mom and Dad went to her house Christmas day for Christmas lunch and brought her back home with them . While we stayed at home at grandma Opals to eat and relax :) We all had a wonderful Christmas this year and sure missed those who are not here with us ..

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve at grandma and grandpa Jorgensens is a fun time we look forward to every year. Jamie and Scott come almost every year and bring there kids. We eat lots of yummy food like turkey, ham, cheese potatoes, rolls, little smokies and lots of dips and chips :) grandma and grandpa always let them open up one present on Christmas Eve (usually a toy to play with) keeps the kids busy so us adults can relax and talk.



It is always a tradition every Christmas Eve night to visit my brothers grave, the sacks have little candles in them to light his grave up:) Christmas was his favorite holiday. We love and miss him so much..

We then made our way to Lehi to visit grandpa Sam's grave..

We love and miss you grandpa Sam!!!

Last but not least our last stop before we headed home was to go to grandpa Rob's grave.

It still doesn't seem real that Rob is gone , even though he is always near it still is so hard .

We love and miss you grandpa Rob !!

We made our way home not long after when grandma Opal came over to spend the night so she could spend Christmas morning with us. Sense Rob is gone she will be taking turns with each of her kids and there families. We were so happy our turn was this year and sad to think she wont be back for another 5 years!! Our kids will be so big by then :(

We all opened up pj's that night and watched Santa Clause 2 then it was off to bed after we put cookies out for Santa of course.. Ryker was so excited that grandma was sleeping in his bed and he on the floor. He still had a hard time falling asleep his words were "I'm to excited to sleep mom " it so reminded me of how I was when I was his age it was cute:)

A Year Has Already gone by .. Jenacee is 1 !!

Wow I can't believe my baby Girl is 1 !!! it seems like only yesterday I held her in my arms for the first time. what a special day that was and one I'll never forget .

**The Day of her birth September 23, 2010**

After Jenacee was born they layed her on my belly , no words could express the love and emotion I was feeling I just cryed as I touched the top of her head. I've waited so long for this day that I would meet baby #2 . What a little miracle she is we love her so much

Finally Home ...
I love to dress her in fun girlie clothes and hair flowers

Jenacee's First Birthday Party!!!

We had a good little get together with family at Wines park in Lehi for our baby girls first Birthday !! we ate BBQ pork sandwiches and lots of yummy salads . Thanks to all who helped out to make this day a special one . I still can't believe how time goes by so fast .



Unwrapping her gifts was a little strange for her she didn't know what to do so big brother and mom helped her out :) she got some really cute things. She got a few Dora items and after they were unwrapped she yelled out DORA !! it was pretty cute . She got some clothes and boots, dolls , sipy cups , a Disney card with $50.00 on it , bath toys . She was a spoiled little girl thanks everyone :)


We thought it was a good opportunity to get all these cute cousins from both sides together
for a cute little picture :)

The Zoo back in July

A fun day at the zoo with some of the Peterson crew . It was nice that Chace could come with us this time sense all the other times we've been to the zoo he's working . I liked that the zoo now has Dinosaur stuff , it makes it fun for the kids.

Ryker & Jenacee had fun watching the Elephants , the baby one was so dang cute :)

It's crazy to me how big Ryker is getting we have him stand by these every time we come . It's fun to look back from past years to see how he's grown .

All the fun animals we seen ...

ALL the kids posing for some pictures :)

Jenacee didn't quite know what to think of the carousel ride But I think she liked it.

We needed to take a brake in the shade a few times because it was soooooo hot !!

After the zoo we went to this yummy pizza place. With Chace working in Salt Lake a lot he's been here a few times and has been telling me he would take me sometime on a date...Well as you see we never made it on a date yet LOL !! It's in the basement of a building and it was a nice cool place for us all to cool off after a HOT day at the zoo. It was really yummy and can't wait to go back again on a "Date" with my hubby .

After this we were all on our way to Wyoming to a family wedding :)

Ryker goes to KINDERGARTEN !!!!

I honestly can't believe this day has come my little boy is off to the BIG school ;(

The night before Chace and I had our first experience of Back to school night!! Ryker was super excited to meet his teacher Mrs Harding . We went walking in Meadow Elementary and Chace said it was so weird walking in his old school now taking his son there:) We walked in to find Ryker's class room and when we found it we went in to look around and Chace said it was the same Kindergarten room he went to !! we thought that was pretty neat .

Ryker had a treasure map on a paper that lead him to all parts of the classroom to find the trash can , the bathroom , drinking fountain etc. Then he drew a picture of himself and then had to take it to his teacher to meet her and she hung it in the hallway with the others. His teacher is super nice I think Ryker (and me:) will be pleased with her .

The morning of his FIRST DAY he picked out his own shirt and shoes to ware. Sense he and the neighbor girl Kayleigh go in the afternoon together I decided to take Ryker to lunch and invited Kayleigh and her mom Heather alone . Ryker choose Chic-fil-A . We went together then afterwards we dropped the kiddos off .

Ryker had a good first day and I didn't even cry like I though I would:) I'm so proud of him and love him so much !!
