Horsey Rides



All three kids wanted a horse ride from Justin--so he obliged at the same time!

Needless to say, his back hurt afterwards, but everyone had a blast!

Benjamin's first day of school!

Here is Benjamin waiting for the school bus. Seth got to walk with Justin and Benjamin to the bus stop and clearly loved it! Benjamin is now a first grader!

Benjamin has a new haircut (he loves the longer hair look--like his Uncle Mark, "but no hair in my eyes"!). He looks really good without a buzz.

6:30 is so early to get on the bus, but Benjamin is a real trouper about getting up and getting ready for school when it is still dark outside. At least this year he will get home just before 3 p.m. instead of 3:15.

Jorgensen Picture Updates

The best part of making strawberry jam...eating it with fresh homemade bread afterwards!



The boys and their hats in preparation for the beach trip with Grandma and Grandpa Clendening in June!


Madeline LOVES to play the piano! Pretty much any time I sit down to play, she runs up to the piano and wants up next to me. I have to scoot the bench over so she can have a spot to sit and we make beautiful music together!


Madeline's Second Haircut

Madeline's first haircut was a while back. She had rubbed off the hair on the middle of the back of her head, leaving quite a tail below that I trimmed. I love her curly hair and wasn't wanting to cut it, but it kept getting tangled (and she loved to put food covered hands in the long parts and pull!) so I finally had to cut it recently.

Here she is feeling like such a big girl! She got to sit on the tall stool that her brothers get to sit on when they get their hair cut. She even is holding the brush (and scissors) while I took a picture of the finished cut.


She was excited to see her brother in the mirror and show him what her new haircut looked like!


So much long hair--now it is rather more even. Though after it dried, for some reason the back middle is a little longer than the rest. With the curls it doesn't show too much, but I still clearly have to learn new techniques to deal with curly baby girl hair!


Madeline loves to smile for the camera!

Benjamin's Birthday Party Photos

So I'm finally getting around to posting Benjamin's birthday photos. We rented paddle boats again (third year in a row--it's what he loves to do), had a picnic lunch at the lake, then headed back to Aunt Marianne's for presents, cake and her pool! Enjoy the photos!








The nice staff at the boat dock took the picture so we all could be in it (Uncle Eric had to work).

Memory Lane

So, I was going through a box and found this picture of Justin and me when we were dating.

I decided to have some fun and do a then and now photo since my hair is about the same length.
We still have the same shirts; I still have the same necklace. That said there are some differences. Justin points out that my hair doesn't have as much strawberry in it now. He has facial hair; I'm wearing glasses instead of contacts. We are cuddling a bit closer :); it is our front door in the background and not the Jones'; and Benjamin is taking the picture (he had to stand on a chair to get the same angle).

Wow, time flies!

Madeline Smile



She is such a happy baby! This is one of my favorite of her smiles--she scrunches up her nose, squeezes her eyes shut, and shows all her teeth.Usually she smashes her gums together more, but this is pretty close.





Additionally, she got a hold of Mr. Potato Head's smile and decided it made a good chew toy--my slow phone camera made it difficult to get a good shot, hence the blurry.
