Emma and Andy

Andy is #88.  He has yellow shoes, which makes it really easy to find him on the field.

Andy is on the second row on the far left next to the girl.

Emma and her flag girls!  She's becoming quite the cowgirl with that hat!

I love this face Emma!

Cross Country Race

Eric ran today at the Lander Valley Cross Country Invitational.  Lander is about 2 hours south of us.  I drove down and watched him run.  He did great!  It was a hard course with lots of hills and he hung in there and finished strong!

It was a lovely day for a run

This is pre-race.  Tanner Stott is in our ward and is on the left.  In the background is Simon Dalebout, he is in the 3rd ward.  Great group of boys.

Here are some videos of the race:

The start of the race

Lucy and Volleyball

Lucy had her first rec volleyball game yesterday.  This is her second year playing and she has really improved!  She has a lot of fun with the other girls on her team.

And it's over the net!  Lucy finishing her serve.

Time out for a water break!

Her team played four games and won 2 and lost 2.

Football & Cross Country

Worland Sports Season is upon us!

Freshman football team played Torrington yesterday.  Andy was the quarterback and did a great job.  Worland lost, but Andy threw a pass for the only touchdown they got.

The varsity team also lost, but improved a lot in the second half.  Emma was there with her flag friends.

They are SOOO cute!

Eric had his first cross country meet in Sheridan.  Brian, Lucy, and I drove to see him run.  He did great for his first ever race.  The middle schoolers run a 3K and he had a time of about 14:50.  I was so proud of him!  Here are a few videos I took:

This is the start of the race, you can't see Eric, but he's in the pack somewhere!  There were a lot of schools represented.

Here he comes!  He looked really good!

Emma also took the ACT test today in Greybull.  We dropped her off and then went up over the mountain to Sheridan.  It was a beautiful drive, even though it took us a bit longer than if we would have left from Worland.  We watched Eric then got back in the car for our 2 hour ride back to Greybull to pick up Emma.  We almost ran over a band of wild turkeys on the way up the mountain and saw a deer right next to the road as well.  Great way to spend a Saturday!

Cross Country season

Eric has joined the Worland Middle School Cross Country team!  I'm so excited for him to have this experience and I love going to cross county meets!  Here is the school picture. He is on the front row on the far left:

Homestead -- Midway Utah -- Jorgensen Family Reunion

This Labor Day weekend was our annual Jorgensen family reunion at The Homestead in Midway Utah.  This is our 7th year there.  It's a pretty small as far as reunions go, 13 people this year.  It consists of my parent's immediate family -- My mom, my sister and her husband, Brian, me, Audrey, Lauren & Matt, Emma, Andy, Eric, Lucy, and Peter.  We had everyone there this year except Palmer.  It seems we have someone missing each year, Audrey hasn't been able to come for the last two years, so it was great to have her there this year.

Lucy was the most willing to get her picture taken!

Best part of vacation is just relaxing!

The weather was a beautiful and we had a really nice time.  We had a special evening honoring my mom and I even found out things I didn't know about her!

Our time there ended on Sunday afternoon.  We went to church in Midway and because it was Swiss Days there the church was incredibly crowded.  Standing room only -- Brian and Andy stood the whole time, Brian counted and estimated there were over 1000 people  in sacrament meeting.  The passing of the sacrament took almost the entire meeting.  It was very cool to see that many people attend church.

Our original plan was to leave from Midway on Sunday and drive up through Jackson, camp somewhere and then head back to Worland.  No one wanted to do that, so we had a picnic in Midway with Audrey and Lauren and Matt and then said goodbye to them and drove all the way back to Worland.  It was so good to see my family!

Football season is starting

Worland High School Football season has started!  Andy is a freshman and plays on the freshman and team and the few JV games they have.  He got his warm up sweats yesterday and was very proud of them:

WARRIORS:  GO.  FIGHT.  WIN!
