8 Year Olds Know How to Party!

By Pam Jorgensen -
Rylee Jean turned 8 on April 12th.  The month of April turned out to be a busy, busy month so we had to postpone her party till May 9th!  She was a very patient girl.

Greeting balloons

Butterfly cake

The name sign - it also said Happy Birthday!


Little girls TRYING to hide from my camera!
Gotcha!

Mayzie, Rylee, McKenna and Alexia dancing to High School Musical 

McKenna and Rylee

We put sparkly glitter in their hair and gave them girly tatoos

There was also a jewel hunt 

Make a wish!

Rylee tuckered out on a bed of balloons!  Drama girl - she is SO 8 years old!


Now...if you're looking at the house and backyard and thinking, "That doesn't look like the Jorgensen's house!"  You are right!  My friend Amity loaned us her house for the occasion.  
We had a "Service White Elephant" party for Enrichment in Relief Society and I fought LONG and HARD to win a cake for Rylee.  There were a couple out there to "steal" and I finally ended up with Amity's!!  THEN! To make things BETTER we decided to trade having a party full of 8 year old girls at her house (where there is more room and a backyard) for swimming lessons!  She also made that CUTE Happy Birthday sign with Rylee's name that is hanging in her room now!  TOTALLY worth it!  Thanks again Amity!!

A Game of Memory

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
