Spring Break In Seattle 2007

For Spring Break this year we decided to take a trip to visit the Wolfs (our cousins) In Seattle, Washington. It was a big decision for all of us to make because Jared was not going and I would be driving solo.The kids ofcourse agreed very quickly to be the best kids ever in the car and they also had to come to terms with missing some school which they were a little upset about at first but they were willing to make the sacrifice to see there cousins (yeah right)!!! When we got there we had so much fun! We went to the science museum, air museum, the aquarium and went on a boat ride around the Seattle Harbor. In between all of this Charity and I were able to get a little shopping ate some good food and had fun just hanging out. We were glad we went because the Wolfs are moving to Pensylvania and so we probably won't make our way up to Seattle anytime soon

Happy B- Day Taylie !!!

I can't believe Taylie is already 4 years old. Where has all the time gone?? It just goes by so fast!! I wish I could just freeze time every now and again to slow things down!!

We're off to a great start for 2007!!!

We had such a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Jensens house this year. While we were there we got to see The Wolf Family, Jordan Jensen and Katie(Jordans Girlfriend), Josh Jensen and Misty Jensens Family (Jared has a sister Misty also)!!! As usual we were as busy as can be and I'm always surprised we are able to get everything fit into one week but we do! These are just some pictures of some of the Happenings at The Jensens. We started off with the lights at Temple Square, skiing and Snowboarding at Brighton which was so much fun with everyone, unfortunately we left with one injury but not to bad for how many of us there were there and the 2nd time we went to Solitude with the adults and Shereene Roetker came along (a friend from Fresno, which was so fun seeing them) , Dressing up in grandma's old shoes(boy were those a hit), The annual (or whenever we are up there) Banana split Race, Mccade Wolfs Baptism , motorcycle riding in a snow storm (sorry no pics) and of course a BYU Basketball Game !!!! We are so thankful for the time we were able to spend with our family and can't wait to see everyone again!!!

Christmas 2006 Better late than Never!! Right??

Taylie got her computer

The kids all had a great Christmas and each got something that they were really wanting. It is always fun to see the smiles on their faces!

Taylie Had Enough!!!

Today I was on the phone with my best friend from High School who I hadn't talk to for over a year and well I guess I was on the phone for a while. Taylie finally had enough and was tired of listening at the kitchen table to a one sided conversation. So as you can see she just laid across two chairs and called it good!!! I thought it was pretty cute, but did feel a little guilty for being on the phone long enough that she decided to take a nap right there!!! Oh well, she denied it even happened until I showed her the pictures.



Gingerbread House Fun!!!

It has been a while since I have posted so I decided to put up some thanksgiving pictures. Grandma and Grandpa Jensen, Jordan and his "Friend" Katie came to visit and we decided for one of our activities to make a Ginger Bread House. The kids had a lot of fun as you can see. The girls loved having Katie around and wherever she was you could always find our three girls right there with her!!! There usually was some teary eyes because only 2 could be right by her. It just wasn't Fair!!! Well Katie did make it through the week without being smothered to death and it was fun having her here!!(Hopefully she had fun to????ha!ha!)

A Little bit of this and a little bit if that...



Justin is having a great 1st year in Cross Country. He placed 3rd in his first race and 1st place in the last 4 races. We thought he just wanted to do it because it is the only sport you can do in the 4th grade but he truly loves it and has done well!!!


Maggie and I went on a field trip to the Fresno Fair this last week. We had a lot of fun but the only down side was they asked us not to buy anything and the food smelled so good!!! I thought the reason you went to the fair was for the food???(Ha!! Ha!!)



Ambree has been busy spending her time practicing the splits!!! There hasn't been a day that has gone by where I haven't had her ask "Did you sign me up for Gymnastics today?" Sure, why not one more thing during the week!!!


As for Taylie she is all about wearing her "Gym" outfit, as she calls it every where we go!! I have to say it is pretty cute, at least for now!!!!

Summer Road Trip 2006


These are some of the pictures from our trip to visit the Wolfs (Uncle Allen, Aunt Charity and the boys) in Issaquah, Wa (Seattle) and in Victoria, BC. We were there a total of 3 weeks, 2 in Seattle, and 1 week in Victoria. We had so much fun seeing what a beautiful place Washington is. Every where you looked there was water, we got to visit the zoo,went on a canoo ride with uncle Allen and thought we would go around the lake but we didn't quite make it, had the best crab sandwhichs at Pike Street Market and I will never forget the Mangos we had to stop on the way out of town for some more!!! Except for the first two days where they had a record breaking heat wave of 90 degrees (here in fresno we consider that nice in the summer!!) it was about 70 degrees the whole time!! Grandma and Grandpa Jensen were able to also come up and took us all on the Ferry to Victoria, BC. Victoria was absolutley beautiful and great weather also. We got to see The Empress Hotel, A Castle, ride are bikes, see China town, go to the Butchart Gardens and see the best firework show ever, and I have to say we had the best Gelato ice cream ever. We hope to go back and visit The Wolfs soon because out of all the fun stuff we did just being together with our family was the best!!!

Maggies Baptisim






Im trying to see how this works because I have some friends that are pretty much profesionals at this and it looks really cool!! So we will see how this one turns out!
These are some pictures my mom took of Maggie in her baptisim dress. We were all very excited especially Maggie, she could hardly wait until Saturday at 4pm. That was defintley an eternity in her mind. It was so fun having alot of our family here with us at her Baptisim.The only people that werent able to come were The Wolfs (uncle , aunt , and cousins) Although Maggie thought it should be no big deal to just come from Washington for the weekened, we completely understood why that probably just wasn't very practical.
