Family Pictures - a little overdue

These were taken around Thanksgiving but I am just posting them now. Shelley has already changed a lot! Here she has two teeth, now she has six!

I love Jorgen's smile in this one!

And Shelley's smile in this one!

Our little stud!

I thought these two pictures were cute! Justin and Jorgen both in little jackets!

Our Boy

These are just some random pictures of our funny little man Jorgen:

Jorgen jumping from the coffee table to the couch by Papa. Endless energy!

Playing a serious game a pool with Papa! Actually, this is Jorgen's version of pool...he would hold two balls and stretch them out as far as he could and then ram them together. One time, as his arms were outstretched he noticed another ball right in the pathways of his balls. You could see his wheels turning as he looked at that ball and then at each of his balls and then he strategically moved the middle ball and rammed his two balls toward the center one. It was so funny! What a thinker!

GO UTES!!!
This was taken today in celebration of our beloved Utes and their victory in the Sugar Bowl on January 2nd. Justin was able to go with his some of his family; Matt, Melissa, and his dad. They had so much fun!!!! Daddy brought home Jorgen this cool shirt! GO UTES! Justin's voice is still a little hoarse from the game:) They went into the heart of SEC country and smashed Alabama!

This video was taken at my Grandma's house on Christmas eve. She has this vibrater machine that you stand on and it strengthens every inch of you body:) We were all laughing so hard at Jorgen. He loves to be the center of attention!

Utah Cont...a long post...

We were lucky to get to visit with Justin's grandparents who live in St. George but were up in SLC for the week. We love them so much!

A four generation picture.

One of Justin's best friends, Mike, got married so we all had fun going to that. It was such a neat sealing and we are all so happy for Mikey!

Christmas Eve with GiGi and Grandpa Chandler

Justin and McKenzie's son, Zander

Don't you just love the squinty-eyed smiles!

Matching!

Kenz and Corey were so generous to us - they gave Shelley and Jorgen lots of toys they didn't need anymore.

Taegan had just as much fun giving as Jorgen did getting a present!

GiGi had the magic touch with Zander - put him right to sleep!

These boys are just darling! Playing the piano with GiGi.

Christmas Eve with Nana, Papa, and Great Grandma Elyse.
Uncle Jim and Aunt Julie playing with Shelley.
Grandma Elyse embroidered pillowcases for all of her greatgrandchildren!
They are soooooo darling!!!!!
Jorgen's has trains on it so he couldn't have been more thrilled! He not only sleeps with his trains but will now be sleeping on trains on his pillowcase!

Christmas Morning

Jorgen had so much fun opening his stocking! This year was so much fun with him understanding more about Christmas and getting so excited about everything!
Giving Nana and Papa one of their presents...
Melissa and Jorgen playing with his new Thomas book.

Unfortunately, Justin was sick on Christmas morning! Jorgen and Shelley also got sick - no fun! But they were all troopers through it all.We got to talk to my parents on ichat on Christmas morning and Jorgen gave them big virtual hugs to thank them for giving him some new trains! :) We miss them SO much!!

Justin felt a little better later on...

I put together a book for Justin of memories from his family. He LOVED it and almost threw up because he was laughing so hard at one of the stories his brother wrote....It was so funny!

Justin surprised me with Wicked tickets!!! We are going to try and go around my birthday in San Francisco - what fun! I can't wait to see it again!

This picture is so funny - Jorgen's got quite the arm - throwing his new nerf ball from Papa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUSTIN!!

Justin turned 27 this year on the 27th of December! Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!
All he wanted for his birthday was a train cake because Jorgen is slightly obsessed with Thomas the tank engine. It turned out pretty cool!

It was Grant's birthday the day before Justin's birthday so we celebrated both together.

Shelley surrounded by boys!

The birthday boy!

Justin and his sister, Natalie, with the youngins.

Justin decided that since it was his birthday he really wanted to go up behind the house and track down some deer. He saw a ton of them and even spotted a buck. Can you see him in the middle of the photo?

We are now back in sunny California and loving the weather here but missing all of our lovely family in Utah!

Happy New Years!
