Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Memorial Day

We had a fun Memorial Day this year. We started the day off on the boat out at Willard Bay with Zach and Kristen. We have had a slow start to the boating season this year with all the rain and cold weather so we were so excited to have a nice day and be able to go out. The water was still very cold so we used the dry suit but it was smooth as glass and the skiing was incredible! It was a blast!! After boating we headed up City Creek Canyon to spend the day with my family and make dutch oven dinner. It was fun to see all my cousins, aunts and uncles and enjoy the outdoors for an afternoon. Then yesterday my mom, Makena and I drove up to Logan to spend some time with my sister. We stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen's grave and walked through cemetery and then went out to lunch. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories of visiting Grandma and Grandpa when I was growing up, they were such fun grandparents and made our visits so special. I love hanging out with my mom and sister so much. It has been a fun week.

Bundled up and ready to go boating...Makena is not thrilled with the fact that she has to wear a life jacket and wouldn't stop crying until I put one on too. I guess she just wanted some company in her misery. Zach is ready to drive and pull Papa up.


Mom and Makena lovin' the boating trip even though it was cold.

Dad and Mandi cooking a great meal up at City Creek.


Makena loved playing with all the little cousins and exploring around. Aunt Linda taking Makena and Anika on a walk. They were so cute holding hands.


Tommy (my cousin's little boy) caught this fish and was so excited about it. My dad asked him if he was going to go home and eat it and he said no he was going to hang it on his wall in his bedroom! I don't think his mom is going to like that idea very much!!


Makena is reading the recipe and checking to make sure we are doing it right, she was very serious about this. Too funny!


The whole fam up at City Creek...we missed mom (she was at work) and Jake and Whitney!!
