Easter Fun


I'm finally getting around to Easter. If I don't do it now it will never happen. Easter was good, somewhat crazy really. On Saturday we took the kids to the Heber city easter egg hunt. It was basically 30 minutes of chaos for 30 seconds of frenzied bliss. I'm sure you all know what I mean. At least the kids were happy with their candy.

Sunday was good, but not exactly what I was hoping for. The kids were both unusually unhappy that day. We stayed home, so of course I had to make a nice easter meal. It turned out well, but stressed me out more than I had hoped. I felt a bit like Martha (or is it Mary?). Next year we'll stick to hamburgers.

Church was good, but I was a little preoccupied. Zack has had long terms issues with diarrhea (skip over this if you don't want to hear more). Well, right during the sacrament, when it was really quiet, he filled his pants and did it quite loudly. Then, of course, he had to tell me that he pooed his pants, again, quite loudly. Luckily he was wearing a pull-up. I was so embarrassed that I seriously considered not returning to the chapel. Zack solved that decision for me when he pulled open the door and ran inside. I followed him and just tried not to make eye contact with anyone.

Anyway, the day ended well. Let's just say I learned what not to do this year. Here's to a lifetime of better easters!

Jorgenson Happenings

It's been awhile since I wrote and even longer since I took pictures off the camera. So you'll have to humor me while I show you some pictures from the past few months.




These are some pictures of the crazy snow we had this winter. We went to our parents one weekend and came home to two feet of snow, no exaggeration. They actually canceled church because we got so much snow at once. Luckily our neighbors let us borrow their 4-wheeler or we never would have been able to clear our driveway. Zack had fun riding with Jake.

This is Nestle (our huge lab) trying to walk through the snow.



Jake and Nestle in front of the huge snow piles in our yard. Jake is 6'1", so you can see how much snow we had. Crazy! We still have snow covering most of the grass. I think it will be at least another month before it all melts. The kids and I would love to be able to go to the park some day soon.









Just some pictures of my cute kids! When Kate's hair isn't pulled back it gets a little crazy.

My handyman husband fixing the brakes on the Jeep. I love that he knows how to do things like that!



My kids love their Grandpa Spjute. My sister has been visiting from Japan and to celebrate her son's birthday they had a pirate party. My dad went all out. They had swords, hats, and eye patches. They went on a walk in search of bad guys and then came back to search for treasure. After the treasure hunt they came back and made "blood red pirate punch". Zack still says thanks for the pirate party in his prayers every night. They loved it!


Ok, this is the last picture, I promise. I'll try to keep up better so I don't have eternally long posts. Kate loves, loves, loves to swing as you can tell from this picture. We were in Provo where there isn't snow covering all of the parks, so we decided to stop at a park to let her swing. However, we made the mistake of choosing a park without swings. When we left Kate started screaming like we'd just cut her arm off or something. Silly girl!
