Family

Halloween 2010

2010-11-14T16:32:00.004-07:00

We have a spider queen, a devil and scream!
We also had a punk fairy but she didn't get a picture :(

This year Jared decided it would be easier to carve pumpkins with the sawzal!!! HaHa
His pumpkin won the the house votes for best pumpkin.
For some reason I didn't get pictures of all the others, what was I thinking??

The kids thought he was crazy!

Every time I tried to take a picture of Jade she turned her head, what a stinker!
This year the rain stole most of our trick-or-treating time, we still got more candy than we will be able to eat.

Stadium of Fire!

2010-11-12T08:16:00.005-07:00

This summer Jade was able to dance in the opening show for the Stadium of fire.
We are so thankful for all the support from our family.
Jade had an amazing experience dancing with this team and being able to go with them to this 4th of July event. Carrie Underwood performed and we had a blast!

Fishing!

2010-05-29T22:42:00.003-06:00

Today was so much fun! We decided to go for a ride then did a little fishing! As soon as Tayler put his pole in the water he caught a Bass. He was supper excited that he was first to catch a fish and that he was the only one to catch a fish!

He was determined to catch another one!

Dash was funny to watch, I think he had the best day of all of us!
He didn't know what to think of fishing but loved chasing the waves and trying to figure out where the fish went that Tayler caught. He even was chasing the lour when Tayler cast out that he jumped in the water, it was Dashes first time getting in the lake :)

Aybrey's Teeth!

2010-05-29T22:30:00.005-06:00

Aubrey needs braces, aaahhhh!
We were not thinking that this would need to be done so soon but it does.
This is the first set of 2. She will have this set for a little over a year then her next set will be around 12. Stinks but she will (better) have the nicest teeth in Sweetwater County!

She started out with a spacer, it only lasted a couple of weeks before they put braces on her top teeth. After about 8 weeks we go in and they will put braces on her bottom teeth.
She hated them so bad at first but now she is getting use to them!

You can see how the spacer has made room for some more teeth. Her 3D x-ray was crazy because she has so many teeth trying to come in and there was no room, now there will be!

Flash back!

2010-05-28T17:56:00.006-06:00

I know I have been the biggest blogger slacker ever..... I can honestly say that it is facebook's fault! I have decided that I need to spend more time blogging than facebooking. Here are some of my favorite pictures that we have scanned so I wanted to share them with you.

Aubrey is so adorable!This picture reminds me on my dad because his tongue is hanging out his mouth!This was at Joslin and Mike's wedding, Tayler was dazzled by Joslin in her pretty wedding dress and didn't want to leave her side the whole day! I think that most of their pictures has him in it or close by!
This is my little cookie monster!

This one is cute of the kids at sea world!

This is probably the only family picture that we have with all of us in it.

Love this picture!

Vacation!

2010-02-26T21:30:00.006-07:00

Jared ended up going to a men's Hockey game - USA vs Switzerland

We ended up both getting to go to women's - USA vs Sweeden
It was a lot of fun to be there at the game.

This was a sunset at Birch Bay, Washington. Our resort was really nice, there wasn't a lot to do during the winter months but whale watching is the thing to do during the summer. I will be back to do that!

We went to Vancouver Aquarium! It was cool, mostly because it wasn't busy!

The weather was so nice we actually had the chance to go golfing. This was fun because we usually don't even get to think about golf until May or June around here.

This is down town Vancouver. It was busy-people everywhere! I am glad to have been able to go but the crowd was huge. The lines to get anywhere were hour waits and the transit train was packed. I would like to go back after the Olympics is done to get a better chance to see Vancouver!

Vancouver!

2010-02-21T11:55:00.003-07:00

Seeing the Olymic tourch was Amazing, It is so pretty! Jared and I went into Vancouver yesterday (Saturday) and it was one of the busiest days of the Olympics. There was so many people that we couldn't do everything that we wanted to do because the lines and wait was hours. The light rail (which is the way to travel here) was so packed, we felt like sardines in a can! So far our trip is loads of fun, we will deffinately be back. I will have lots more updates and pictures when I get back home. This is a picture that I took with my phone, all the other pictures will have to wait to be downloaded on the computer.

Another thing bites the dust...

2010-01-07T15:30:00.004-07:00

Okay so when the dog chews up shoes it makes me mad, but I can handle it.

Now for some reason today I decided it to be a better idea that I take dash with me to Rock Springs because I didn't want him chewing up anything at home while I was gone. hahaha

I also thought that I didn't want to have to go home to get him before I took him for a walk.
If I would have only known how today would have went.

10:00 a.m. headed to Rock Springs for a doctors appointment.
10:30-11:15 dash alone in the car while I am at the doctor.
11:30 - 12:00 eating lunch with a friend.
12:00-12:30 driving back to Green River to FMC park to walk dash.
12:30 - 1:30 Dash is out of the car walking/running.
1:45 Home - Get dash out of the Durango and this is what I found......

It will now cost me $125 just to get 2 new seat belts.
If you own a dog then you must own a truck and a kennel for outside.

Ice Skating!

2009-12-29T22:26:00.007-07:00

Okay so I have one more set of pictures to be updated.

Today we went ice skating with some friends of ours.
They have four kids and are so much fun to hang out with.
We had a grest time at the rec-center then went to dinner.
Our table had 9 kids and 4 adults....
Yikes, what were we thinking!
They actually did really well but to be honest I was scared.

This was Jared's first time on ice skates.
He actually did pretty well only because he didn't fall.
Ice skating is definatly not his sport.
Aubrey and Tenny having fun.

Jade and Andy being dorks as uaual.
I finally took a picture of myself just so everyone could see that I was actually there!

Bryce and Maycie.

Brickson is a natural at ice skating.
Tayler and maycie spent a lot of time on the ground.

This is Janessa, she is 3 and wanted to do it all by herself!

And finally this is Tayler's Jocyln!

Christmas Day at Our House!

2009-12-29T22:02:00.004-07:00

I promise we did a lot better this year than what we have done in the past 3 years!
This Christmas was just right.

Aubrey and Maycie got a bunch of kitchen toys, a sink, and a refrigerator.
They now have a better refrigerator better than I do, only if theirs really worked!
They also got new bikes for the summer!

Jade was sooo funny because she was told that she wasn't going to get a cell phone untill she was in high school, I thought I would have said she was grounded till high school! It was the only way to give her a big surprise for christmas. Alls she could say was REALLY.....REALLY....No your just kidding....REALLY, in this high squeaky voice filled with excitement! I almost cried hahaha.
Tayler got a new bike, a i pod, and a really cool camo set up from Gentry. He also got a couple of video games for the playstation and Wii.

All in All we had a wounderful Christmas this year.
I am truly greatful for my family and for the time that we get to spend together.
I am glad that we were able to have Gentry home with us through Christmas and cant wait for her to be closer to home.

Santa

2009-12-29T21:51:00.004-07:00

Jade was being a dork and said that she wanted a Dora doll.

Aubrey told santa she wanted her 3 front teeth,
Only because Jade gave her a dollar to say it.

Tayler told santa he wanted a i pod and lego star wars.

Maycie told santa she wanted a zoo zoo pet.

My Question is.....Why does Santa's breath all ways stink??
And why doesn't he automatically have breath mints at his side?

Maycies Birthday Party - 8 Years Old

2009-12-29T21:36:00.005-07:00

Maycie's birthday party was really fun this year! We went to the Green River Academy of Arts and had some private lessons in Gymnastics. Maycie wanted a girls only birthday and the girls had a lot of fun. It was different for a birthday party and I would recomend it to anyone. They did all the set up and clean up!

Having a Dog means....

2009-12-19T12:30:00.005-07:00

....having things that you like chewed up.

....having holes dug in the yard.

Anyone know how to train a puppy to not eat things that are left
on the ground and to stop digging holes in the yard?

Amazing!

2009-11-03T08:45:00.009-07:00

Jared, Tayler, Darrol, and Ammon went hunting in the most amazing part of Wyoming.

This lake is called Louis Lake and is in the wind river mountains near Lander.

Ammon and Tayler enjoying some fishing.

Halloween

2009-11-03T08:12:00.005-07:00

Vampires were everywhere!
In this picture we have Shaley, Jade, Maycie, Aubrey, Tayler, and Kaden.
5 vampires and 1 Alice in Wouderland!
We had such a fun night going to trunk-or-treart then going around our neighborhood. We called it a night at around 8 because it started to get a little cold.

The kids had a Halloween parade and party at school.

Maycie and Aubrey were the only ones that wanted to carve pumkins. Tayler doesn't like cleaning them out and decided that he would rather go to bed.
Of course the girls had to have vampire pumkins to go along with their vampire costumes!

Jade and Andy :)

SnOw SnOw Go AwAy!

2009-10-05T08:38:00.004-06:00

Off and on yesterday and almost all through the night it snowed. The kids are so excited that they can sleigh ride after school today, Me i am not excited at all! The road construction in front of my house is not done yet. They have done sidewalks and curbs but have not go to the pavement yet. Hopefully since the sky is blue today and we are supposed to get some nicer weather this week they can get it done so we don't have a mud pit all winter. My poor trees are going to fall apart with all the snow and leaves hanging from them.

This is the newest member of the family, Dash!

He is a short hair English setter, 12 weeks old and a pain in the butt!! Just Kidding, he is actually doing really good considering he is just a puppy. I just wished that there was a pet gym so that he could be exercised more while its cold outside. Some one please open a gym for pets, I would be a member for sure! Jared says we just need to get a treadmill, if anyone know of a great buy then let me know!

Updates!!

2009-09-12T10:40:00.005-06:00

So I have been the biggest blogger slacker! I have a couple of updates that I need to catch up on.

So Jade broke her arm at the lake riding on the back of a 4-wheeler with Shaley. They just got to camp and were excited to ride the 4-wheelers. They were going to fast and hit some bumps wrong and rolled it. Jade was more upset about not being able to camp then breaking her arm. She wore a splint for 3 weeks then a fitted splint for 2 weeks. Everything looks great and now she is splint free!

A couple of weekends ago we had an eventful but productive day at the Jensen house! We celebrated Arron's Birthday! Elizabeth made the best cake ever, you will be getting a call from us to make another like it someday :)

Deena, Joslin, Elizabeth, Jade, and I made 25 pillowcases that will go to local troops!

And we go the big deck done, It looks great! We just need to buy one more rail kit and the last of the railing will be completed. Jared did a great job and we are proud of the work that he did.

Wow!

2009-07-10T16:42:00.002-06:00

Found this in the back yard today!

Hands

2009-06-14T12:49:00.003-06:00

So this was a lot of fun.
Jared had to pour cement for the stairs and we decided it was the perfect opportunity to put our mark down, even thought the steps will cover it! The kids thought it was really fun.

Tayler wasn't sure if he wanted to do it.

Jared and I ended up putting our hand in also.

It goes Aubrey, Nichole, Maycie, Tayler, Jared, and Jade!

The Deck!

2009-06-14T11:51:00.004-06:00

This was a lot of work, Jared shoveled all the rock over as we laid new weed stopper down. Darrol would even out the rock as Jared moved rock back.

Darrol, Dustin, and Jared hard at work!

Mike and Arron was here helping at this point, Thanks for all the help guys!

Aubrey and Maycie helping as much as they could.

Jared has the hand rail posts up

And this is where we are at now! Jared and Dustin worked yesterday to get the stairs ready and got more decking laid down.

We Miss You Ammon

2009-04-20T22:17:00.004-06:00

We are so glad we were able to see Ammon in Lander before he left. These pictures of Jared and Ammon were so funny because I told them that I wanted a picture of them and to act like they love each other and this is what I got!

This first one is them trying to be cool and then laughing at themselves!

The kids was having a really hard time with Ammon leaving, especially Jade. It was hard to see Ammon fight back tears as they had to say good bye/see ya later.
We just want Ammon to know that we love him so much and miss him already. We will pray that he is safe in all the things that are to come in his life and that he will return home safely when all that is needed of him is done.

tHe JaZz GaMe!

2009-04-20T21:46:00.006-06:00

So here we are at the game. Jared had to make sure we all had Jazz cloths. We are dorks I know but it was sure fun.

We took some pictures the day before the game.
I love this picture of Aubrey, she is so cute!

Yes that's me I am actually in a picture!

Maycie and Aubrey got #1 fingers for the game.

Sleepy Heads!

2009-04-20T21:39:00.002-06:00

These two pictures were taken on different days.
Jared had gotten home from graves and fell asleep and Jade was trying to get homework done and fell asleep reading. How cute are they!

Easter

2009-04-20T21:27:00.006-06:00

We spent Easter at Jared's dad's house, it was a lot of Fun! They had their big Easter Egg Hunt, we came home with way too much candy!

I thought this was the cutest picture of them all (Kamren)!

Aubrey's B-day

2009-04-20T20:51:00.002-06:00

Aubrey's Birthday was a lot of fun. We went with a Hawaii Party and I found some really cute decorations on Oriental Trading.

We found a cute flip flop pinata and it was the hardest thing ever to break open. Her grandpa Darrol and grandma Margo gave her $20 in one dollar bills and she thought she was rich! We also did a potato sack race that was way fun and the cutest ever was Kamren doing the limbo. He could just walk right under it almost every time and he thought it was the funiest thing ever.
I have to say thanks to Joslin again for all the help! You truely are a life saver!

2009-03-17T08:37:00.004-06:00

I found some leprechauns today, what should I do with them?

The new Ride!

2009-03-15T20:51:00.003-06:00

So I first have to thank Joslin and Mike for leaving me with their vehicle because if it wasn't for them we would have never got this....

After having a car for a couple of days that fit us all in it I started to feel a bit spoiled and decided it was past time to get us something new. Jared left and came home with this 2008 Dodge Durango, it seats 7 and is super sweet. Although I still love Joslin's car I am so excited to get the Durange because when they come home their car will go with them!

So in the event of being able to all ride together and having 4 wheel drive we went for a ride. We ended up between Green River and Rock Springs and found some rocks the kids wanted to climb so these are some of the pictures.

Kamren wated to go all by himself. He thinks he is so big and got mad because he couldn't keep up with the other kids. (I am standing to his left just out of the camera shot!)

We had a great day today!

It's been a While!

2009-03-06T15:49:00.004-07:00

This is what is new with Tayler!

He is so handsome

I thought I lost all of Tayler's birthday pictures but found them in the recycle bin on the computer, Luck! I am so glad that I didn't loose them. Thanks for the help Joslin, you are a life saver :) We had 14 kids show up at his party and the house was crazy.

Our summer project is building a new deck, well at least the beginning of the summer project! I think we are going to have lots of little helpers.

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated anything but nothing to exciting has been going on. Just keeping busy with school!

New years at Bear lake!

2009-01-04T20:30:00.011-07:00

I LOVE BEAR LAKE!!

Jade getting ready for midnight and
Tayler didn't quite make it to midnight!

We had lots of fun playing games and hanging out with family.
So who's idea was it for silly string?

Skiing was great! The weather was yucky for most of the day but the kids did Supper! We had a awesome 1st time skiing and snowboarding for/with the kids, they didn't complain once the whole day. They all did really well for their first time and are excited to go again.

Shay, Jade, and Tayler was snowboarding and Maycie and Aubrey was skiing.

Tayler - Aubrey - Maycie

Jade did really good but I think she liked the instructor more than anything!!

Aaron and Elizabeth having fun snowboarding.

The snowboarders were taken up the lift. Jade and shay were so scared but then loved it.
Ammon on the tow rope!

My favorite Picture of Jared and Tayler!!

We have finally found a activity that wears her out!!!

Rock Band 2

2009-01-04T20:18:00.004-07:00

So we also got Rock Band 2 for Christmas and spent 2 days playing. We played so much that our mic. broke and we lost our voices! It was a lot of fun.

Aubrey and Tayler!

Chacee seen the drums and set herself up.
Kamren was (is) so cute! He wanted to play anything he could get his hands on!

Christmas!!

2009-01-04T19:57:00.004-07:00

Christmas Morning at the Jensen's
(I know it looks bad but I have Jade and Maycie's presents under
their also, but trust me it has been worse!)

Aubrey made out good, she got the DS that she wanted and some really cute flip flop slippers from Jade!

Tayler got a snow board and a remote control car. He didn't get the 22 that he wanted or the bow, but the board was 3rd on the list!
They both made out good this year but I think Jared and I were the one's that got spoiled. See the couches in the background, well that was my Christmas and Jared go a table saw and some tools along with new playstation 3 games. We had more presents to open then the kids did!

Jade's Christmas Program!

2008-12-11T20:17:00.005-07:00

This is Jade and her good friend Maddie.

This is a little wishing you a Merry Christmas song, it was so short that I almost missed recording it before it was over. It didn't help that I couldn't get the camera to turn on because Aubrey thought she would help out by taking 50 pictures of the floor! Anyways I hope that everyone is ready for Christmas because it's only 2 weeks away...Ahhh YIKES!

What a star!

2008-12-08T20:07:00.000-07:00

This is Aubrey's second year in Tavaci, she absolutely loves it!

She is such a performer.

Happy Birthday Maycie

2008-12-08T19:55:00.001-07:00

We had a Birthday party for Maycie at the rec-center.

She is the Birthday Princess!

We had a so much fun swimming. Aubrey, Maycie, Tori, and Bailey

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-03T16:49:00.000-07:00

These were taken a week ago when Jared and Aubrey went to a daddy daughter dance with girl scouts. Jared was Aubrey's Troy from High School Musical (except Jared was a football player instead of a basketball player, All the same right!).

Aubrey and Maycie are both cheerleaders.

Tayler is a black knight, Jade is a devil, and Shaley is a vanpire.

We had a lot of fun Halloween night. We first went to the nursing home then went around the neighborhood. I love the traditional trick-or-treating, I think that next year that is all we will do! We got way too much candy just like last year.

Misty and Ashlee (not sure what they are??) and Chacee as a spider, she is just too CUTE!

Tag # 2- My Quirks

Tell about 6 Quirks of yourself

1. If we are planning to go out of town I have to have the dished done and the garbage taken out.
2. I can't handle not knowing what I am getting for Christmas. I also like to know everything the kids are getting, I don't like surprises.
3. I like the toilet water to be blue, if I forget to buy 2000 flushes I will go back to the store just to buy some.
4. I hate to have feet touching me, I hate everything about feet. I love baby feet but can't do toddler feet.
5. I don't like it when the kids have a punch mustache.
6. I don't like it when kids slurp or when Jared takes a drink when he is still chewing! This one is weird and I don't think that Jared knows about this one :)

I am tagging Elizabeth again!

What do you do when it snows?

2008-10-14T09:23:00.000-06:00

You make a snowman!!

Or a witch snow man!!

Or you go sleigh ridding in the back yard!
I am so glad that the snow is melting fast, we are just dealing with cold weather now.

Snow Snow Go Away!

2008-10-10T16:23:00.000-06:00

This is what we woke up to today, AAH what a nightmare! I was really hoping that we would at least make it through Halloween before the snow came. Everyone kept saying that nasty "S" word all week and see what we get.....SNOW!

This is what it looks like now, most of the snow is melted but it is snowing again...Biger snow flakes....

(Not sure if you can see it but the snow flakes are big)

The Hogal Zoo!

2008-10-04T18:50:00.000-06:00

Sorry for being a blogger slacker! Since starting school I feel like I am going non-stop. Any spare time I am catching up on house work, which most of my day is filled with homework. This last week I have been in clinical and I really want to take all the residents in the nursing home home with me. We will be back in clinical in 3 weeks so the next two weeks will be a little less hectic.

So last weekend we went to the zoo, it was fun! Tayler and Aubery loved it but was mad because they didn't get to see Lions. Here are a few pictures from when we went.

The CUTEST kids ever!

Thank goodness for maps or we would be lost!

Youniverse!!

2008-09-11T22:39:00.000-06:00

Soccer is over

2008-08-23T09:06:00.001-06:00

Tayler and Aubrey love soccer. They have a natural talent, I don't know where it comes from! They each played about 8 games and both made goals.

Tayler is getting so BIG!

2008-08-23T08:58:00.001-06:00

Tayler has been finding it important to shave every time he showers. I don't mind him doing this but it makes me sad that he is getting so big!

The Circus!

2008-08-08T11:50:00.001-06:00

So we went to the Circus last night! It was great entertainment for Green River. I took some pictures during the Circus but they didn't turn out the best. The kids really enjoyed the show, they thought the tigers and the clown were the best part and was disappointed that they didn't bring elephants. I think that we need to go to the Circus when it comes to Salt Lake so if anyone hears they are in town then let us know!

The kids had to have a pony ride, they love horses!

Emery!

2008-08-05T11:32:00.000-06:00

This las weekend we went to Emery! Jared had his 10 year reunion. The reunion was fun because it was at the high school. We found out that within the next 5 years they have a 20 million dollar budget to build a new school. The only things that will be the same is the new gym and the auditorium, the rest will be completely redone. It was good to see some old friends and find out what they have been up to the last ten years.

We also got to see Damien, Maxi, Rylee and Kelby! It was fun to hang out with them for the weekend, I am just sad that time has to go by so fast.

The kids waiting for the parade to start and having fun getting the candy.

Rylee was in the parade with cheer.

Damien sitting on the sidelines.

Tayler, Kelby and Aubrey.

Kelby is spider man.

Aubrey is a unicorn and Tayler is a dragon.

On the way home Jared and Tayler went golfing while Aubrey and I hung out at Jeannie's house. It was really good to see Doug, Jeannie and Justin! Aubrey was glued to Doug until he had to go to work, it was cute. Thank you so much for letting us hand out for the day, it was really nice to see everyone!

Summer Fun!

A couple of weekends ago we had all the kids at our house, so we decided to have a pool day in the back yard. One of the many reasons to love your own back yard, we had a lot of kids at our house but not the whole neighborhood. The pool was a lot of fun because they found any way they could to jump into the pool and it kept them entertained all day long!

Jade, Maycie, Aubrey, Tayler and Shaley

Aubrey and Maycie

Chacee

Jared thought the pool day was a good idea also. Good Luck Girls!!

Jade was loving the slipping slide. The girls would hold the tube while the kids jumped through the middle of it.

Then they decided to run and jump onto the tube!

Leave Your Memory Here!

2008-07-28T12:13:00.000-06:00

1. As you comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. 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. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. 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.
I thought this looked fun!

I MADE IT!!

2008-07-16T10:43:00.000-06:00

I made it into the Nursing Program at Western Wyoming Community College!! Classes start August 25th and in 2 years I will be a RN! When I say it this way it sounds a lot easier then it's going to be. I have a lot of work ahead of me but it will be worth it when I am done. Ever since finishing school as a Medical Assistant I have wanted to go further in the medical field and now I am finally getting my chance. Wish me luck!

July 13th!

Yellowstone!

2008-07-06T19:18:00.000-06:00

Yellowstone was so much fun!!

We seen so many animals it was CRAZY!

A bunch of Elk & a bunch of Buffalo

8 Black Bears (the baby was cute) &
3 Grizzly Bears

Squirrels & this silly Coyote was running down the side of the road then he decided to poop right in the middle of the road :) The kids thought this was so funny! Next time you see Aubrey ask her about it because she does this little laugh that is way cute.

We went to Old Faithful!

Jared wanted to go at this time of the year to see all the wild flowers and it was worth it.

We seen some amazing views!

We did this crazy hike to see this waterfall. It about kicked our butts but it was worth it!

This is what Jared looked like the whole time he had to drive while we was in the mountains. I still don't know how he can drive looking out the side window?? Tayler and Aubrey had to check out the bear trap.

These pictures turned out so cute!

What a Crazy Week!

2008-07-01T10:19:00.000-06:00

I just have to say that moving is not fun at all!! We moved everything from our apartment to the garage. We have all the major things such as beds, the computer, dishes, cloths and our 50' flat screen TV :) up and running but I still have so much to go through. We spent the last week cleaning and doing a lot of painting which by the way was a lot more work then I had ever expected. I am so glad that my mom, Deena and Ivan was able to help us out because we would have never got done by Thursday (we started Saturday and the plan was to be done by Monday -- yah right) Thank You so much for the help! Right now I don't ever want to see a paint can again, well until we are ready to paint the living room, which will be this winter (hopefully) and the pain of the 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and the kitchen is gone, Joslin I hope you will be ready!! I am going to post pictures of the bedrooms but I have to get trim up in Aubrey's room first. Then to make things even crazier we are going to Yellowstone for the 4th!! I am so excited to go because I have never been but I don't want to leave my house. It will be good because I am exhausted and I plan on doing a lot of relaxing and sight seeing and the house will still be here when we get back...right! I will post some pictures when we get back. I hope everyone has a good 4th of July!

We Bought A House!!

2008-06-21T09:10:00.000-06:00

Tayler is done with Kindergarten!

2008-06-05T11:39:00.000-06:00

Tayler is so excited to be done with school, he is ready for a little time off. What he doesn't realize is that we will be going over sight words, reading, and handwriting at home this summer!

American Idol!

2008-05-22T22:28:00.000-06:00

I am a huge American Idol fan, I thought this picture was good! I really wanted both David's to win. I watched the show faithfully this season and didn't get a chance to watch the finale, yah it sucked! We are having problems with our satellite and it's taking a whole week to have someone come look at it. It's been nice not having t.v. but I am sad that I didn't get to watch the finale, I will have to catch a rerun. And yes I could have went to someone else's house to watch American Idol but I didn't feel like intruding on someone for that long and it was sorta a hectic week for everyone.

Moab - The Car Show

2008-04-28T19:20:00.001-06:00

This was Tayler's most favorite car, a Ford Mustang. He said this is the car that he wants when he is old enough to drive. I hope he plans on having a good job at 16 :)

Aubrey had to pose with all the cars we were taking pictures of. We tried to get Tayler to kiss Betty Boop on the cheek but he wouldn't. Jade like the pink car the best.

The Climb to Delicate Arch!

2008-04-28T18:59:00.001-06:00

So while Jared and Derick went golfing, My-Linh and I decided to go to the Arches National Park. The kids did so good or I should say that we all did so good. We hiked out to delicate arch, I didn't realize that it was a 3 mile hike round trip or I probably would have thought twice about taking the kids out to see it. But they actually did so good! It was well worth it, they didn't complain much and it was really fun. The picture on the top right is from the parking lot. Then the bottom left is about half way between the parking lot and the big uphill rock climb. The one on the bottom right is going up the big rock part.

We took plenty of water and did many stops. All round it took us about 2 hours to see the one arch, but it was well worth it. The kids said they had so much fun and was ready for the long car ride home. Always remember if you are going to be in the car for a while it is well worth every minute to get the kids worn out before traveling! We also went to the double arch but then had to get going home.

Moab-The Arches

2008-04-28T18:43:00.001-06:00

This is where everyone poses that makes it to the delicate arch.

This is Tayler thinking he was king of the hill! He got the Tayler Jay Jensen from me because when he climbed this rock he went the hardest way he could find.

Aubrey's 5th Birthday Party!

2008-04-07T10:41:00.000-06:00

Aubrey is now 5! We went bowling for her birthday party, It was really fun.
She was so excited to have her friends come to her party and get so many presents.
I am so glad that I am done with birthdays for another year.

Easter!

2008-04-07T10:23:00.001-06:00

These are some easter pictures, I know I am a slacker! It was lots of fun spending time in Vernal. The kids had fun looking for eggs and getting some summer toys. Kamren is so cute!

Homework

2008-03-12T22:56:00.001-06:00

This was really cute! Tayler was practicing writing to 100 and Aubrey kept bugging him, so I made a copy for Aubrey. When Tayler was done with his page he decided to help Aubrey do hers. It was great practice for Tayler. As they was working together I couldn't help to think about the story of Jared and Joslin! Just in case someone doesn't know that one, when Jared was in Kindergarten Joslin would do his homework. Then when they was caught Deena made copies of Jared's homework so that Joslin would have something to do. I have to watch Aubrey when Tayler is working on his homework because she will tell him the answers. Tayler is doing really good in school. I can't believe that they year is almost over. Aubrey will start Kindergarten next year and her biggest challenge will be waking up, she is not a morning girl!

Just being Goofy!

2008-03-12T22:44:00.001-06:00

So Aubrey thought it would be fun to take pictures of us. She did a good job (except she wasn't in them). She has found a new obsession with scrapbooking and the camera, I am so proud of her! For Christmas she got a little scrapbook and wants to fill it with pictures. She asks me all the time if I am planning to scrapbook and if I am then can she do it with me.

New Pictures!

2008-03-04T12:07:00.001-07:00

The kids had so much fun doing pictures.

Aubrey's First Black Eye

2008-02-03T22:17:00.001-07:00

So this is what happened.....I had to go grocery shopping because we was completely out of everything, I hate to grocery shop. Anyways while I was putting groceries in the trunk of the car Aubrey was bouncing around the cart and slipped on ice. Her little face hit the wheel of the cart and the ground. She cried for about a minute then was done. She is definitely our child we need to bubble wrap.
This is 1 day after she fell.
This is 2 days after she fell.
Jared told her to do a sad face, good sad face -huh-

Tayler's Brithday!

2008-01-28T21:24:00.001-07:00

Tayler had so much fun at his birthday party! He wanted to invite his whole class and his teacher to the bowling alley. We ended up with 10 kids (5 boys and 5 girls) and 5 adults, which was perfect, any more kids it would have been crazy! The kids bowled better than the adults (thanks to the bumper pads). Tayler turned 6 years old and is already asking when he will turn 7. He needs to slow it down a bit. I am not ready for him to get so big.

Aubrey was so cute trying to bowl, the ball was bigger than she was! She actually let me do her hair all up and cute without much of a fight. Hopefully this is the beginning to something new!
