Firefighter Class

Right now I am in a class to get my Fire I & II certification. It has been a combination of a lot of hard work and so much fun. The only bummer is that it takes so much time, luckily it is only a few months until my family sees me again! On Saturday, we did the Proprane Prop and it was a blast - not literally thank heavens. Mick brought the camera down and took some pics of us playing. Mick wants to join the fire dept. in a couple of years. We both have a lot of friends there. A lot of them I actually work on the ambulance with too and I love them to death and trust them with my life. (I guess I better!)
These two yayhoots have been so sweet to help me when being a girl gets the best of me and I can't quite do all that the guys can do. They pitch in and help me so much. I'm so glad that I'm in the class with them!

When we were backing away from the tank after it had been shut off, the hose nearly knocked me on my butt because of all the water pressure. I could not believe how much strength it took to hang onto that nozzle! I would never have lived it down - of that I am certain.

My Old EMS buddies!

Last weekend I got to work on a call with my old buddies from Santaquin. Both East Juab and Santaquin got paged to the same call and I was so excited to see them. Nothing like putting a patient in the chopper with some of your best friends - old and new. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do to leave my EMS buddies in Santaquin when we moved to Nephi and these two are among some of them that I missed the very most. We have so many fun memories and they taught me SO much. I am the EMT I am today because of these two and the others there. But I will have to say that I have grown to love my crew in Juab County so much. I could never leave the amazing people I run with now. I am so lucky to work with people that have heart's of gold like those from Santaquin and Juab County. I love them so much.

Trip to Midway Cabin

A few weeks ago we went up to my grandparent's cabin in Midway for the weekend. We snowmobiled in and stayed a couple of nights. It is the best place to relax and be SO LAZY! Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen, Alan and Emilie and Sammy, Mama Jo went up with us. We ate, played games, ate, watched movies, talked and laughed, ate some more and went snowmobiling and sledding. So much fun!!

I guess I forgot to put that we read stories too!

Isn't this old boat awesome? We hooked it up behind our vintage 76 Panther and hauled the kids around in it. We have such state of the art machinery at our fingertips!

I'm not sure if Emma can even see where they are going.

I have the sweetest grandparents ever and I am so lucky that I get to go spend time with them like I do. I'm really glad that my kids know them so well. They are so much fun.
