Dear Sara,

Why you want to leave me? Why?

No really, why do you leave me in time of organization crisis? Don't you know how much throwing out, shredding, organizing and shopping there is to be done in the Jorgensen household right now? And you're missing this??!! You KNOW there is no one else who can adequately sit on my closet floor with me all day and clean it all out(sorry everyone else, but you don't know Sara's skills). We could eat "cold beverages" and pretzels, watch some L&O or HGTV, then go clean out the garage. Then we could go baby shopping while Dave plays guitar hero with the kids. But no, you leave me. Dave asked me if I needed help--uh yes, her name is Sara. If I can't have Sara then I don't want anyone else. I'll do it myself.

I have the keys! Do not come looking for me! I repeat, do not come looking for me!

p.s. this post is really for Sara--so don't be mad that there are no pregnant pictures. When I take some, I'll post them. Promise. Oh, and really, there is no one quite like Sara who could handle sorting through my brain and thus my closet/garage. Trust me--you don't want to know me like that.

This is what happens when you find your USB cord to your camera...

Road Trip to Utah with Kev

Sara & Sam went to Hollala's a few days early, so Kev drove down here, we played guitar hero all weekend, totally ruined the kids with guitar hero face, and then drove to Utah. My favorite quote of the trip was Jacob, while looking at a KFC sign: "You know, I always think that the KFC guy (the Colonel) looks like Gordon B. Hinckley!" We had tons of fun and then I flew home in time for the OCMCO concert, which was awesome!

Mom & I made caramels! YUM!

The three oldest tutiacs!

Cute cute Jakey-boy, with a surprise appearance by Emma!

Here's the Emma goes totally Krazy Kung Foo series. This is what happens when an almost 8 year-old gets in front of the camera at Grandma's house. She just went totally kung foo on us!

(Anyone see a little Grandma R face in there?)

Em's Kids & April's Kids
It was so nice to have Emily here for so long, and we met up a few times with April's kids. I have more pictures/videos from the park we went to somewhere around here too. We had lots of fun with April, Abby & Richard!

Cutest little guy ever!

Richard playing ball--we tried to get Nathan to play along, but he only wanted that bike!

Look how proud he is he's on the bike!

Abby & Ashley played littlest pet shops and Connect Four forever!

Richard & Nathan playing trains--it was so much fun to see them play together!

San Francisco with the Forsyth's

Breakfast at Mama's

Eewwwww...It's what babies do!

This kid is a pro at riding around the city!

His favorite: the bookshelf!

He is the tickliest baby ever!

How did we only manage to get hideous morning face pictures of ourselves? Oh well, we have a billion more where that came from!

Arizona with Annette's kids!

I had a great time with Kyle, Brandon, & Brookie in Arizona! They were a lot of fun, and I particularly loved all of Bing Bing's hugs! I spent the week at baseball games and carpooling, and we had a lot of fun at the games! We also managed to make Annette a fun Mother's Day book and the kids really liked making it! All was good until the last night when Brookelyn got the stomach flu, and was up all night--poor girl! I got it Saturday night and was miserable, so I really feel for the little girl! I flew home Friday in time to leave for Monterey for Emma's baptism, but Dad has all the baptism pictures, so none to post. Still, it was a fantastic time together with the fam and the baptism was really special!

Bing Bing at bat!

Brooklelyn sat right next to me in her little chair--so cute!

Brookelyn, my little meow meow! The trick with her is to pretend she's a cat and suddenly, she'll do whatever you ask... Brandon

Bing Bing and Kyle, my little helpers

The Gang!

Jackson's Visit Day #1
So, know how he loves lint? Well, at our house, he loves feathers. Our couch is down-filled (like his at home) and sheds regularly. You have to be vigilant about what he puts in his mouth! He tried to eat a feather and this is what I found:

We played a little guitar hero too!

And he LOVES the luggage which we use as a blockade from the scary parts of the house. He'll play with the zippers for hours!

He's been realllllly good, except for his new spitting trick, which he finds soooo hilarious. (He completely covered my pajamas, face and table with rice cereal AND yobaby this morning!) He's been taking his naps and sleeping perfectly at night. And he was singing along at the top of his lungs to Wicked in the car yesterday. I think he likes it!

For Jeff

I know Zack is fussy in this one, but I like how we ask where Zack is and you can hear Nathan respond ("there!")

Well, that's all for now since Blogger is having problems uploading the other videos.

Note to others: I will put more pics up, promise.

Thcram Theagulls! Thcram!

We were throwing french fries into Kev's car and the seagulls came to eat the fries that didn't make it into the car...

Emma & Sam

Justin Timberlake's "Release"

Check out Nathan's eyes--they're always big, but when his song comes on, they get even bigger!!

Front page of local paper

Here it is again! Someone brought this paper in today at rehearsals, and right there, smack on the front page is my picture again! Embarassing, but kinda cool. (It's only a local laguna hills/laguna beach/aliso viejo paper...) Check it out:

Savior of the World

As many of you know, my stake (Laguna Niguel Stake) is putting on the production of Savior of the World next week, and I am playing Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the play. We are double cast, so I'll perform in 4 of the 8 performances, but if you're around the area, for sure come check it out! The Joseph in my cast is Blaine Birch, and he has such a gorgeous voice! A couple of weeks ago they took photos of us in costume, which I jokingly call "engagement photos" but they were taken for newspapers. This picture appeared in the Orange County Register yesterday:

You can find the whole (short) article with a few more cast pictures at: http://www.ocregister.com/news/jesus-birth-stake-1922305-four-members

If you want to come, visit the website: http://www.sotwtickets.com/ to purchase tickets! They have added a new show because we are almost all sold out already! Exciting!

For those of you already planning on coming, thank you! I think you'll enjoy it...
