Jorgensens In Grizz Land

2011-03-26T20:28:00.000-07:00

Baylee is in training for the Special Olympics. She is competing in the swimming in April. So amazing to see all they do for these little kiddos at school.

A Proud Moment

2011-03-26T20:15:00.000-07:00

Can you believe Riley is old enough to be at Prom? I am so proud to be Riley's Mom. He has truly gone from a little boy in to one fine young man. Riley and I were having one of those late night talks(I remember having with my mom) I told Riley that the day he was born was truly one of the best days of my life. It was when my life began. I can not imagine where I would be if I had made different decisions in my life. He has been a true rock in our family and I love him so much.

My Grandma Walker

2011-01-12T16:15:00.000-08:00

My Grandma walker is such a special person in my life. I have learned so much about the importance of family from her. It is so hard every time I go home to Idaho and see her and try to hold back the tears wondering if this will be our last special moment together. Words can never express the love I have for my Grandma. She is truly an idol in my life and I hope someday to be just like her. I love you Grandma!

Baylee's Baptism

2011-01-12T16:01:00.000-08:00

What an awesome experience this was for everyone. It still brings tears to my eyes to this day. There have been a few times in my life when I have felt the spirit so strong and this was one of them. Riley baptized Baylee, and I hope he never forgets the feeling he felt that day. He sat with Baylee on his lap in front of everyone and as Bro Diehl spoke the tears steamed down Riley's face. As a mother I was so proud of him, and know he will make an awesome missionary some day. ALL our family came. We have the best most supportive family every! I truly felt humble and blessed that day.

Knocking Out Retts

2010-08-13T23:00:00.000-07:00

A few more Pictures from the event. Shy and Mickey Kicked Riley's butt in the pie eating contest.

"Knocking Out Rett Syndrome"

2010-08-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

Another great year! This event was awesome. They had Kevin Black(Clint Black's brother) there. All my brothers, sister, and family came to support the cause. Shy went above and beyond for this event and Baylee and I love her so much and are blessed to have the support that we do. I hope someday they will find a cure, but for now if Baylee could talk she would say she is happy despite her disease. To have our children loved and happy is there anything more?

2010-08-13T22:36:00.000-07:00

Two weekends ago we went to Flathead Lake with Lori, Shy, and my Mom and Dad. It was a ton of fun. I Love my sister and enjoy all the memories we make together. I love the picture of my Dad and Riley. Can you believe how much Riley has grown? He will be 16 in Sep.

2010-07-16T14:30:00.000-07:00

The kids are getting big. Gracee will be 3 in Sep, Kynslee just turned 6 in July, Baylee will turn 8 and be baptized in Oct, and Riley will be the BIG 16 in Sep. Where does time go?

2010-07-16T14:17:00.000-07:00

We went to Glacier National Park last weekend. BEAUTIFUL! We had a ton of fun. The kids loved seeing the bears and goats. There is nothing better than making memories with the family.

2010-04-27T09:07:00.000-07:00

We helped with Where's Waldo at the mall for Mutual. Riley and Brady did not recognize us. Maybe my CTR nose ring threw them off. It was a ton of fun.

2010-03-03T19:27:00.000-08:00

I love to hear Baylee talk. One of my new favorites is BYE. Everyone loved her french braids and they wanted to know if she could get any cuter. Her shirt says close to perfect. I figure that explains it all.

2010-03-03T09:15:00.000-08:00

I am trying to potty train Gracee. Kynslee potty trained herself at 29mo, and seems Riley will be 16 in Sep I can't remember how much patience it takes. She likes to have all the Disney barbies Shy gave her for Christmas sitting against the wall in the bathroom I guess for support. She also keeps asking, you pwoud of me huh Mommy. I am so pwoud especially when we get to do the pee pee dance. Don't worry I won't blog it. Wish me luck!

2010-03-02T10:18:00.000-08:00

Grandma Walker came to my house 2 weeks ago. The girls absolutley love when she comes. They like to cater to her every need. I put Kyns and Gracee in the tub and it just so happened that Grandma needed to use the bathroom. When she stood up her pants fell to the ground. Kyns and Gracee started singing Lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground. We all laughed!!!! I love my Grandma so much, and cherish all the time we get to spend together

2010-03-02T08:34:00.000-08:00

Ok! I am going to try and get back in to blogging. These are some pictures of The Goody Family Reunion. This is the 14th year Jasen's family has been getting together at Pine Basin. We have so much fun tubing, snowmobiling, and playing games. Even a bump to the head doesn't stop the fun. It was a hard year with the loss of John's parents, Uncle Clair, and Kyle, but everyone made the best of it. John once said if you stop a tradition it is hard to get it back. This is one tradition I hope never ends. It is not very often for kids to know their 3rd and 4th cousins as well as our kids do. I love spending time with family. That is what life is about Time Together!

2010-01-09T15:02:00.000-08:00

We had an awesome Christmas as you can tell. The kids are growing up to fast! I love spending time with family. We spent Christmas Eve with Jasen's family. This year we got matching jammies for everyone which was fun. We stayed up till 2 playing hand and foot. Christmas day we went to my Mom and Dads. The kids have so much fun playing together and get along so well. They are the best of friends and I hope they always stay close! We went to Bryon and Shelley's cabin for New Years. It was beautiful and so much fun. Again 3 in the morning almost every night for what I am going to call "Extreme Hand and Foot". It doesn't get better than that!

2009-12-11T20:25:00.000-08:00

Gracee loves the song "That's Not My Name". This video didn't show the chorus, but she can really move her hips when it starts. I laugh every time. This will be our talent this year at the Eddie Christmas party. I know you can't wait.

Halloween Weekend

2009-11-03T20:39:00.000-08:00

Riley did an amazing job at designing and carving our pumpkins this year. He is so talented. We had Bryon, Shelley, Their kids, Jody, Tracy, Tate, Linda, and Elaine here for Halloween. Well we let the kids think that is why they came. Riley and Mickey stayed with all the little kids, so the adults could go to the Grizz vs Weber game. No question as to who won. GO GRIZZ! That night the kids dressed up and went trick or treating. Then we stayed up playing Hand and Foot until 5am. It was a ton of fun.

2009-10-27T20:54:00.000-07:00

Finally an update! October 17th was the Write and Raffle for Rett Syndrome in Idaho Falls. Kalli, mom to Lauryn, another little girl with Retts invited us to share in this exciting event. It was so amazing how many people donated. They were able to raise over 13,000 dollars and people wrote over 4500 letters to Oprah. Kalli is such and amazing mom and an inspiration to me. I am so glad our families were able to meet. I know there is a special bond between us. I appreciate all the family that came and supported us. Baylee is truly blessed to have such loving family and friends.(I feel the same way)

2009-09-17T21:02:00.000-07:00

Has anyone seen my baby boy? We are so proud of Riley! He is a Freshman this year, but has moved up to JV football. When Jas told me Riley was #72 on the field, I said that big kid? When did he grow up? He is such an awesome kid and big brother to his sisters. He has started early morning Seminary. He wants to suggest only 3 mornings a week instead of 5. Good Luck!

2009-09-17T20:37:00.000-07:00

The girl's first day of school. Kyns was so excited. After 2 days in school she came home and said the only thing she hates about school is "The Boy Jerks" LOL As Auntie M says that never gets better!

2009-08-13T21:25:00.000-07:00

And the worst mother award goes to.... You guessed it me. These are just a few of the burns Gracee received from our treadmill. It actually burned her diaper right to the belt on the treadmill. I do however feel extremely blessed that it was not worse than it was. Poor little thing, this was the day after the cute little pictures of her and Moe.

2009-08-10T07:08:00.000-07:00

Gracee and Moe in our front yard. Moe is the newest addition to our family. It was Moe or a baby. Jas chose Moe.

2009-08-09T22:51:00.001-07:00

2009-07-28T22:02:00.000-07:00

By popular demand, "The Hippo Therapy Video" Baylee's 2nd week at Hippo Therapy. Today she rode Rooney because Luke was in time out for bad behavior. The horses have been well trained to work with kids with special needs. We can't thank the horses enough for all they do!!!(feel better Greggo)

2009-07-26T19:05:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of Baylee and Luke. She loves Luke. Baylee is now doing hippo therapy. She loves it and does so good on the horse. This is an awesome program. The people all volunteer their time to help our little ones. I feel so grateful to the people who dedicate their time and love in helping Baylee we are truly blessed.

2009-07-16T23:26:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun in Vegas. All I can say is I love you guys and thanks for the week of laughs. We all know I am not going to Vegas again. NOT!!!!

2009-07-16T23:10:00.000-07:00

The 4TH of July was not the same this year. We didn't have the annual party at Mom and Dads, and Jas and Ri went prairie doggin with Eric and his boys. We did go to the I.F parade with Rick and Heidi and their cute little girls. Then we all loaded up and met Shy, Lori, Linda, Jody, and Tater at the big Menan parade. Connie and Mike talked Greg and I into going to the end of West River road and watch the fireworks. I am hoping next year we go back to tradition.

2009-06-22T13:08:00.000-07:00

Everyone watch out!!! Guess who has their learners permit. The day he received it I let him drive home from the high school. He put the van in drive, gave it gas, looked at me, and said it won't go. I told him it usually helped if you started the van first. We are in trouble. He took Baylee for a little ride in her walker. I of course recorded it and then told him probably not a good idea. I think this is the fastest anyone has walked in a walker.

2009-06-22T12:55:00.000-07:00

Mudgee is so funny. Every time I ask her who she loves she says Walker. She loves to make everyone mind! At night when I lay her down She wants loves kisses and her blankey. She says night night then bye Mom. Her new sentence is I lub you ... I make her say it all day. There is nothing better when you hear I lub you from your children even if it is in a smile or a look. I lub her too! Next year it is going to be her and I while everyone is in school. I said I wonder how well she will do with pedicures and such.

2009-06-22T09:46:00.000-07:00

Wow 33! Time seem to fly by. It seems like Jas and I were just married(minus the honeymoon stage) I think I liked it better a few years ago when Riley though it was cool that I was going to be 31 and he was going to be 13. At the time I didn't think it was as cool as he did but now I would go back. I thought it was hard when he was baptised, then he passed the sacrament, now drivers ed and high school. It is all passing to fast. I think of Blake on his mission and think it will be a while before Riley will be going on a mission. I am sure Lori had these same thoughts. My Dad always says that you will wake up one day and your babies all have babies. That is how fast time goes by. I try hard to cherish the moments, although some days are harder than others.

2009-06-21T17:54:00.000-07:00

Last week we were in Idaho. When we left my Dad said how would it be going back to nice weather. Kynslee said well Grandpa we are headed back to the mosquitoes. This is so true. They have been worse this year than the 3 yrs we have lived here. If the kids go outside without spray they are eaten alive. This does not keep them in though. I am on the countdown for Girl's week in Vegas. 2 weeks from today. I have not been away from my little ones for a whole week. What will I do with myself?

2009-06-15T21:10:00.000-07:00

We went to Idaho this weekend. This is Baylee's new walker. As you can tell it would be a lot easier on her without extra riders. We were also able to spend time with Rick and Heidi's little cuties. Kyns and Kiah are the best of friends. They had so much fun together. I hate thinking about the time they miss with each other between visits. Jerica is growing like a weed and she loves babies. On Saturday I traded with Heidi. She took Gracee and I took Kiah. We went to see the movie UP with Baylee, Lori, Shy, Camryn, and Nanny (aka Walker, Nanny Goat, Grandma Cow, Grandma Grape, and Grandma Lind). It was so much fun. I love my family. Thanks for always making time for us.

2009-06-15T20:51:00.000-07:00

Kynslee had her gymnastic show on Tuesday and her tumble and dance show on Wednesday. She loves her teachers. This picture is with her tumble and dance teacher Deana. She is very talented and so good with the kids. Kyns has learned so much this year. Her favorite thing I think is cartwheels!!! She also has the talent of skipping backwards. Try it sometime.

2009-06-09T21:22:00.001-07:00

2009-05-22T05:18:00.000-07:00

We are so proud of Riley. Last night He had his 8th grade promotion ceremony. He was on the Honor Roll. Riley is a good kid. He has been blessed with the gift of seeing good in anyone. He is a lot of help to his Dad and I. Last night I told him to go tell his teachers thanks, instead he went over and gave them all a big hug. He had the best cheerleading section of course, well three of the cutest anyway. We want Riley to know how much we love him.

2009-05-21T23:39:00.000-07:00

Baylee's kindergarten teacher was the best!!! She made a video for each of the kids. We love all the staff that works with Baylee at the school!!!!

The Love of Family

2009-05-12T21:13:00.001-07:00

I love this picture that Shy sent me. I know how much these little ones are loved by our family. You can tell by Baylee Rae's face that she loves Shy so much. This is the look that melts your heart. The "I LOVE YOU" look. (Or, Maybe it's the how about a pinch or a bite look) I am so amazed at the changes this little angel has made in our family. I know we all cherish the little things because that is what helps us through the tougher times. Shy, thank you for this. It came at a time when I needed it most. I love you so much. If there is on thing I love most about my family is they are always there for a shoulder to cry on, or to give you the laughter you so desperatley need. All I can say is THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU!!!!

Tribute to my Mother

2009-05-09T21:19:00.000-07:00

Mother I love you. Mother I do. Father in Heaven has sent me to you. When I am near you I love to hear you singing so softly that you love me to. Mother I love you. I love you. I do!!! Mom, Happy Mothers Day! There are no words to express the love I have for my Mother. She is and has always been the kind of mother every child wishes for. Thank you so much for the love and support you have given me. You and Dad have taught us kids how important it is to stay close as a family. I think this is something you both learned from your mothers. I am glad you passed this along. I love my brothers and my sister and I know we will always have a bond that a lot of other families may never get to experience. Mom, you are such a beautiful person inside and out. I hope you have an awesome day. (and that Dad and Greg wait on you!) I love you and miss you. Love Always Kris

2009-05-05T21:17:00.000-07:00

GOOOOOOO GRIZZZZZZZ!!!! What a cutie pie. Gracee makes me laugh all the time. She has inherited the Olsen sense of humor. Today the girls went to the dentist and Cierra would be so proud of them and their mother too. The dentist said that their teeth were so clean and looked amazing. Baylee and Kynslee both recieved no cavity awards!YEA! I have made a goal to brush and floss their teeth at least twice a day and it has paid off. Kynslee told the dentist that she even uses mouth wash at night. She swishes it around and spits those sugar bugs right out.

2009-05-02T22:14:00.000-07:00

We are all missing Blakester. It is going to be hard on Riley to come home and not have anyone to shadow. Look out Lori! Maybe Shy Shy will let him tag along. We are so proud of Blake. Blake is one of the words Baylee can say, so for they next two years it is my goal to keep her saying this. She loves Blake too. By the way Blake, Riley says thanks for the clothes, guns, bed, etc.

2009-05-02T21:58:00.000-07:00

Could Gracee be any cuter? She is so fun and full of Attitude. She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse, talking to Walker(grandma cow), on the phone, and singing songs. Her favorite are Bringing home a baby bumble bee, monkeys jumping on the bed, and itsy bitsy spidee. She says Greggo, Bampa, Bubba bite finger, KY Ky spank crying, Mommy stop, yea pee pee in potty good girl, Baylee Bae, among a bunch of other words in her bossy tone. My favorite is when she slaps me in the face or gives me a pinch and just before I start to fake cry she says sorry Mama sorry and gives me a love around the neck. I can't help but play the game.

2009-05-02T21:24:00.000-07:00

We love love love our neighbors Uncle Al, Grandma Janice, and their family. They are our family away from home. Today Al(who is also one of Riley best friends) took Riley's helmet out to him and told him the Sheriff called and said anyone under sixteen had to where a helmet while mowing the lawn. So Riley put it on. We laughed so hard. I had to get the camera out. I am sure Riley knew Al was giving him a bad time, but he played along for a minute. He is such a good kid he watched the girls for us so we could go to dinner. Not very often does he complain and he either has the girls changed and asleep or they are playing all together. I couldn't ask for a better son.

2009-05-02T21:16:00.000-07:00

Baylee had her Kindergarten program Tuesday. They were monkeys. How fitting for her. This is one of her Paras Brooke. In the morning she has a different Para, Trish. They are so awesome with her. I love all the people who work with Baylee. I could never thank them enough for all the love and support they give Ba and I. There is a new song by Collin Raye called She's with me. I'm not sure I love the tune, but the message is good. If you get a chance listen to it.

2009-05-02T21:00:00.000-07:00

Kynslee is definatley 4 going on 14. She was named after her Aunt Lori. Kyns loves fashion and shopping. Yesterday she told me that at Shopko they had swimming suits for 5 dollars that made them practically free. Aunt Lori I hope she has made you proud. She also told Riley he needed to do his seat belt up when they went to Bronc's or her would get a saftey violation from the cops. I love her so much she keeps me on my toes!

2009-05-02T20:53:00.000-07:00

Kynslee had her gymnastic show this week. She can do cartwheels like no other!!! She loves her teacher Princess Erin on Tuesdays, And Deana on Wednesdays for tumble and dance. Kyns definitly has the personality and facials to make it as a star. If you don't believe me ask her.

2009-04-19T16:42:00.000-07:00

Riley is so excited, after 3 years the braces have come off!!! He seems so grown up lately. Other than being picked on all the time. We power raked the lawn this weekend and Riley let us know that we were not going to make him work on his weekend. Kids say the funniest things. He help put the swing and the trampoline together. He likes to see his sisters have a good time even if he doesn't admit it.

2009-04-19T16:21:00.001-07:00

2009-04-03T06:06:00.000-07:00

Little miss Baylee Rae. Baylee has been struggling with her walking. Now she is at a point where we have to go with afos that are higher on her legs for more support. We also are ordering a walker, at first this was suppose to be for occasional support, and now for her safety she will have to use it on a regular basis. She has worn the knees out on a lot of her pants from crawling, and you can tell her confidence in walking is not there. Baylee seems to adjust fine, but for some reason it has been harder on me. When we struggle with things in our life it makes us stronger, but to see our kids struggle breaks my heart. I worry about the things to come with her lose of walking. I am amazed at the faith this little child must have to be willing to come to this earth and face these challenges. I am proud to be her mother. I love my kids.

2009-04-03T05:52:00.000-07:00

This is Gracee pretending to sleep on the dash. We had an eventful weekend. We were headed to Idaho to a funeral, and because of the bad storm the road closed and we were stuck in Lima. After 18hrs, a bag of puffed Cheetos , milk duds, licorice, and a few luchables the road opened. It was a long night to say the least. We drove 109mph and made it to the funeral 20 min late. I would go through this all over again to support our family. I think this is something we will never forget. Thank you to all those who kept us in your prayers. 18hrs in the van with Jas the kids and I we needed all the prayers we could get.

2009-03-16T21:13:00.000-07:00

It is what it looks like. Kynslee felt bad because Baylee got her hair cut. Instead of cutting her hair off I let her get highlights. She could hardly wait for the day to come. She wanted purple highlights at first. Luckily Jan talked her into low and highlights. Kyns said I was going to be so jealous. She said she was so excited and that everyone would be so "IMPRESSED". Maybe we have created a monster. She was so cute at Jan's salon. It made my day to watch her eyes light up and for her to feel special too. When we came home Riley told her he didn't like them (pause sad face) he said he loved them. You should have seen her glow. Thanks Jan for making a four year old have the best day of her whole life.

2009-03-16T21:11:00.000-07:00

The new highlights and lowlights

2009-03-15T18:09:00.000-07:00

The sun has come over the mountain. We have started biggest loser as a family. We purchased a treadmill. Jas kept asking all the salesmen about ones you can run on. This made me laugh. I asked Riley what he thought of his dad running. He said he thought Jas would lay in bed and say p on it I'm too tired. After we got the treadmill and put it together Kyns ran on it for about 20 sec. She then came and asked how she looked. Her uncle Eric said this was the kind of results he liked. Run around the couch and then get on the scale. The next night Kyns wanted to get on the treadmill. She wanted to lose weight. Riley told her she was skinny ans didn't need to lose(which was nice for him) Kyns said don't say that Riley, Dad is not fat either! Again I laughed!!! So I guess it is on.

Gracee has time out in the corner

2009-03-15T17:28:00.000-07:00

Gracee has started time out in the corner. She stood there with Kyns the other night. We laughed, and now she has begun taking her diaper off and has been in the corner for her own naughty doings!!! Maybe it is time to potty train.

2009-03-06T06:19:00.000-08:00

WE TOOK BAYLEE TO PRIMARY CHILDRENS LAST WEEK. THE DOCTOR SAID THE FACT THAT BAYLEE HAS ANY WORDS AND THAT SHE CAN COMMUNICATE PUT HER AT A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL. I WAS HAVING HER DO ALL HER TRICKS.
