Merry Christmas!

Christmas 2009 was wonderful for us! It was our 1st Christmas being married, even though it is technically our 3rd Christmas together! We had a wonderful time seeing all of our family and spending a few days away from work which was extra nice!

Jer and I in front of my mom's tree, I look tired . . . Christmas day makes you tired ok!

Our first Christmas tree in our apartment together! We stole my mom and dads old 7 foot tree

which looked pretty big in our apartment . . . but I really LOVED it! We made our own tree decorations this year, and even strung popcorn (which by the way takes FOREVER!)

We had a GREAT time this year!

Temple Square

I know all of these pictures are coming a bit late, but better late than never! We went to temple square with Jer's family, had fun eating at the Lion House Pantry and walking around and seeing the purdy lights.

Mandy looking cute

Katie Cheesing it!

Levi stopped long enough for us to take a quick picture!

Charlotte looking mighty fine!

Don't forget to pay the rent!

So back in October Jeremy had the privilege of taking a wonderful 8 hour long test at the Salt Palace with all the other senior engineer students in Utah. He survived . . . . but he said he really hoped he passed so he would never have to go through that again! Well 2 months later we found out that he WILL NOT have to take it again! I knew he passed . . . it was just nice to have the paper there confirming it!!

It was really funny how he told me he passed. . . . I got home from work after him one night and as I was walking up the stairs to our apartment I saw something posted on the door. . . . . my first thought was "oh crap . . is that an eviction notice . . . did I forget to pay the rent?!?!?!" Luckily I just had to look a little closer at the paper to see this . . . .

Good Job Jer! Man you are so smart!

And yes . . . they don't tell you your score if you pass . . . you only get your score if you fail . . . . luckily we didn't get a score!

Family Pictures!

Every time all of us get together our family has changed . . . . so of course that means we have to take new family pictures!

Grandma and Grandpa with the sweet girls . . . the boys were not being so cooperative . . . (typical)!!!

Micah looking "special" and my hair covering part of Jer's face. . . . . what a quality family picutre!

How many Hjorth grandkids can you fit in a shed?!

Nate & Miranda and their cute kiddos!

Adam and Nichole and the two Las Vegas kids!

Sweet Tessa Rose! She is really the only important one in the picture!

Look how roomy it is in the shed for us! We love it!

Thanksgiving 2009

This year for Thanksgiving all the Hjorth's were able to get together! We had everyone from Washington, Las Vegas, Spanish Fork, and Holladay! We sure had fun together and enjoyed all of the eating and spending time with all the cute kiddos!

Rylee, Hatee, Tessa and Maren

This is what happens when you leave your baby at Grandmas house to go to a movie!

Yum Yum!

Bath time!

Rylee and Tessa having lots of fun playing outside

Grandpa sure does love these kids!

And they like Jeremy too!

Dad's new toy this year . . . . he said it was for pushing snow in the winter . . . but it sure is fun all year long! (I look like a pirate . . . it was very bright!)

Rylee and Opa having a good time on the quad!!

Cousins decorating some cute turkey cookies!

6 Months!

Today is our 6 month anniversary!  To celebrate we went to church, came home and had left over Papa Murphey's Pizza, and I watched tv while Jer did homework all night!  Great huh?! And still after 6 months I get excited that at night we don't have to go home to our different apartments!  Pretty retarded . . . I know!!

Awards Banquet

Jeremy is smart. He is so smart that the past few years of his engineering degree he has earned straight A's. Because of his smartness and hard work we were able to go to an Awards Banquet at the U for the Engineering Department. You could say it was a room full of nerds. . . I mean smarty pants.




He is smart AND good looking!

This is just ONE of the THREE times that Jeremy's name was listed in the booklet for scholarships. I counted, I think just one other boy's name was announced 3 times like Jeremy's was that night! I know what you are thinking . . . . and yes, you are right . . . he is the smarter one out of the two of us, and don't worry, you didn't hurt my feelings!!
