4th of July!

4th of July is a big deal around here. Idaho does it BIG and we savor each and every tradition of the day. Since getting married we have had to both give up and combine traditions, but I believe we have a great "schedule" for our fourths. 

The day started out early with the Breakfast on the Boulevard. We always enjoy our pancakes, ham and eggs! This year the mickey mouse pancakes were DIVINE! 

After breakfast was the parade. 

Although the parade is turning into a lot of advertisement we still enjoy it!

Trenton found his ears earlier this week, during the parade he kept grabbing them to sleep.

To loud for baby.

happy to be free in America!

I love this picture, I think it looks so cool!

 After the parade we went back to The Jorgensens for the annual BBQ.

No pictures from this, but we ate our afternoon away while enjoying lots of family fun!

After that we went to The Jex's for some 4-wheel riding! Again no pictures, but we really did have a lot of fun and really enjoyed ourselves. 

following that we went to our adopted Grandma and Grandpa's the Searles. Gma and Gpa S our actually our great friend Amy's real grandparents. They invite us each year out for an evening BBQ, and we graciously except each year! We always have a good time!

After the evening BBQ we headed for the firework show. Idaho Falls has the best fireworks in the north west, and they did not disappoint by any means! However, on the walk down to the river Mike came down with the flu and boy oh boy was he miserable!  Poor Guy. He was a champ though and stuck it out to let T and I enjoy ourselves. Trenton was great for the show! He half slept, half watched the entire 30 min show. I think he really had a great first 4th of July!!!!

waiting, waiting, & waiting.

Hi Mom!

a little grin for the camera.

Over all, we really had a great 4th of July! We are so grateful for all the men and women who serve our country and keep us free! Thank you!!!

A Recap of the Year 2011

2011 has been a great year for us, full of ups and downs. We have learned a lot this past year, and have risen above and conquered.  Here are some high lights of our year.

Mike and I headed to Vegas in February with our friends, the Walkers. We had a great time being on a mini vacation, and the weather was so wonderful!

March brought living with Megan's parents for 1 year! Aren't they so lucky!!!

 April brought us a new niece! Clare Sophia Stockhoff!!

June brought sadness when we lost Grandpa Jorgensen, Mike was pretty broken up about his loss.

July brought Megan's 23rd birthday, celebrated with Coco Bean Red Velvet cup cakes and a good family BBQ filled with all her favorite foods!

It was a big month in July because we also welcomed home Megan's little brother, Jordan, home from his mission to Chile. As well as the arrival of Brynnlee Nicole Walker, Megan's best friend Amy and her hubby Mitch welcomed Brynnlee into their family!

in August Mike and I celebrated Carter's 1st birthday, as well as his one year Angel day! We celebrated with sending balloons off into the heavens! It was a great day, and then a hard day to follow a couple days later. 

 In September, Mike Celebrated 24 years of life! His birthday was filled with golfing, and a family BBQ to end the night!

 

We also received big news on Mikes birthday, the news that we were expecting! We were going to try at this family thing again, We would be due in May!!!

 December brought the news that we were expecting a boy, it also brought holiday work parties, family parties, friends parties. It brought Christmas and our 3 year anniversary!!!! 

We have been truly blessed in 2011, and are so thrilled to look forward to new adventures in 2012!

There are so many new and exciting things planned for 2012 and we can't wait to get started!

Happy New Years!!!!

Friend Party 2011

We had our friend Christmas party last night, the 29th of Dec. It was so good to see everyone and have everyone together! It's been over a year since we have all been together, and lots has changed, including two new additions to the party! We love the baby train! Next year we will have to get a picture of all the kids together! We had the party at the Walkers home, seeing as they are the only ones in town with a house right now! We ate lots of food, talked, played ping pong, opened gifts, and just has a really good time together! I'm so glad that we were able to see each other and spend some time together! I love these people, we have all been through a lot together, and I am grateful for them! Love you guys!w

This auntie couldn't be any more excited!

 She is FINALLY here, Brynnlee Nicole Walker made her grand appearance on Friday July 22, 2011 at 2:13am in Idaho Falls and EIRMC. She weighted 7 pounds 2 oz and was 20 inches long. She has all 10 finger and 10 toes and a great amount of dirty dishwater hair. She is super cute and a good natured baby. She is a great sleeper and tries to even sleep while being feed, much to her mommas dismay. She is so fun to have here and Mike and I love her to death all ready! We can't wait to watch this sassy pants little girl grow up. Congratulations Mitch and Amy!

We are so proud of you and love you guys! Love you Bryn!

I have loved being able to go to the hospital to visit Amy and hold little Bryn, I even have said

"Watch out Olsen's and Walkers you may have to fight me to get to hold this precious baby!"

haha that how loved this little girl is.

and yes there have been a few "arguments"  um discussions as to who's 'turn' it is...

Mom is doing great, healing well and catching on to this momma thing well. She had quite the labor and the poor girl was so miserable but she did awesome! Mom and baby get to go home tomorrow and the three of them will get to start their own adventure all by themselves, ok not really all but partially.

WE LOVE YOU BRYNNLEE!!!
