Fangs and Food

After weeks of drooling and sad stories, Grace finally got her two bottom teeth! (She is still drooling non stop but at least the pain is gone). She is also eating big girl oatmeal cereal now, sometimes with added bananas or peas. She gets SOO mad when its all gone, I think its hilarious. Don't worry, we're not starving her! I weighed her the other day...18.2 pounds at 5 1/2 months old. She is rolling over a TON now and can sit up for a few seconds on her own. Check out these adorable pics. I can't help but kiss and squish her!


Yummy cereal and peas!!

Are you KIDDING me people!!?

I spend a good 25 minutes on my last blog loading pics and updating our life but no one has anything to say? Sad day. Come on people! I know you can do it... just send a little love this way. I mean... please?? Pretty please?

2008 - Our top 10 joys!

I can't believe it is already 2009...we have had a lot of joy this year. Of course our #1 was the birth of our baby girl, Grace Olivia in August. She is such a happy, healthy girl and I can never kiss her enough. She is getting so big and responsive, I love it!! #2 I turned the big 24 in September. # 3 Grace's baby blessing in October. #4 Grace's first Halloween (which we already posted pics of). #5 Kimball turned the big 28 in November. #6 Thanksgiving in Utah with my family. #7 Kimball graduated the Salt River Fire Academy on Dec 19th and started shift work the 22nd. It was a LONG and grueling 17 weeks but we got through it and our relationship as a couple has grown tremendously. The Lord really does have a way of helping us find "joy in the journey." # 8 Christmas in California with Mom, Dad, Amy and Arlo's Family. #9 Brought in the New Year with Grandma/Grandpa Jorgensen and Aunt Amy in Ca. #10 Our faith and love for the Lord has continued to grow and we are grateful to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I just now realized after posting this that nothing exciting happened before we had Grace I guess! We were both just working and sleeping. She has sure changed our lives for good and I don't even remember life before her! Here are a few memorable pics of the past year that we havent posted yet. We love you all and are blessed to have you in our lives!!


August 20th, 2008 - 4 days after I had Grace. Kimball, Grace, Me and Mom finally leaving the hospital. I look...swollen and tired, haha. Grace in pink about 6 weeks old


My birthday dinner (Sept 13th) at the Cheesecake Factory. Yum Yum!!


Grace's baby blessing - October 12th, 2008. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit from CA! The dress was originally mine, made by Great Grandma Hannah Oldroyd.



Her first airplane trip just outside the door, Thanksgiving day mad she didnt get any turkey, the temple lights in cold cold Salt Lake City, Sunday best for Chloe's blessing day, Girls night out at Olive Garden (minus Kathleen, Stepha and Amy).


Kimball's boss (w/ City of Mesa) Carl and his wife Susan at Academy Graduation. (Mesa is where he got laid off due to cut-backs when he was a Fire Inspector. Then he decided to apply to be a firefighter w/Salt River. Out of 600 applicants they took 20!!! Thats how blessed we have been.) Kimball looking sharp in uniform, waiting to graduate.


The Classic Jorgensen caroling night. We always go around to the neighbors houses and sing Christmas songs. I look forward to it EVERY year. Glad we were able to make it!! Kimball showed up (after a 6 hour drive) and surprised us... 3 minutes before we left, good timing huh!!?? Grace with Santa Claus at our ward Christmas party!


New Years Eve. We played the game, "Life" and Amy won (as you can tell its BRAND new). We also had mormon booze (martinelli's), peanut butter M&M's, red vines and skittles. Grace thought she was a big girl and could stay up...didn't quite make it to midnight though.


One of the Christmas shots...she was TICKED! Maybe we should have sent this one?? My fav part is that I look like NOTHING is wrong and Kimball thinks its hilarious. Love it, totally us!

Bragging Rights!

Its been a while since I've posted anything. Our little girl is getting so big. She just had her 4 month appt and doc said she's looking great. Let me brag about her stats: 17.2 pounds (95th), 25 inches (70th) and 43 cm head. She is a really good eater, obviously...and a pretty good sleeper too. Here are a few pics of her, just being adorable!! She is very strong and has been since day one, you can even see her standing!! Also, if you look closely at the head shot you can see her curly hair!! I'm hoping it stays like that! She is a good little happy girl!

Big Girls Don't Cry

Our little Grace is now 3 months old!! Where does the time go!?? It's so fun though. I love being a Mommy and Kimball thinks fatherhood = just playing with her. I'm ok with that though. He gets her to talk and smile so I can't help but love it. Anyway, on a sad note she got her first little cold last week. Poor thing. Although you wouldn't know it cuz she hardly cried, even though she was all congested and had to breathe out of her mouth. Her little coughs were so adorable along with her sneezes. She did sleep for 15 hours one of the nights, it was crazy! I'm sure you can't really tell but her are a few pics of her "sick." Still pretty cute huh?? We also went fishing (or tried to). Nothing was biting and it was kind of cold that day. This is the best family pic we got and then the camera ran out of battery right after this one of Grace and Kimball...lucky me, right? Oh well, at least we know I was there!

New Toy

Look mommy, I'm eating this new rattle cuz its so delicious! I like to hold it like a big girl and shake it when I get excited! I'm getting so grown up! You have to admit I'm pretty cute, right?

Happy Halloween

Alright, we gave in and decided to take Grace out for a little bit on Halloween night. I would have been fine with staying home and hanging out but Kimball LOVES Halloween, so we went over to Jill's (Kimball's sis) and walked around with her kids. They were running to every house so we lost them after 2 minutes! Anyway, we took a few pics. Nothing too great, the green bow is suppose to be her "stem", compliments of Kimball. She did good...got Mom and Dad some yummy "loot." But after about 15 minutes she wore out and fell asleep, as you can see!! Poor thing. So...What should we dress her up as next year??



I took these pics (below) before Halloween night. I was trying to do a photo shoot but she was NOT having it. This is more like what her costume was suppose to be like but it was SO HOT I couldn't do it to her! I took the costume off and then... well, she fell asleep!
