I still exist!

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd better update my blog since it is way out of date. I am trying to figure out how to put pictures on my facebook but haven't got it figured out yet so this will due for now.
I started a new job on May 11 and since then my life went out of control. I've been working until 7 about every night trying to get the bugs worked out. I am working for an optometrist who bought out a Dr. who is retiring here in Blackfoot. It is a new challenge but I am enjoying the learning but wish I was as smart as I used to be!

Tyce is growing

Here it is April and I don't know where the time has gone. The only witness I have that time is passing is when I see how much my grandkids are growing and changing. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do!

Tyce is Growing

Tyce is 2 month's old. Here are some pictures I took this weekend.

Tiandra's Earring Salon

While we were on our date with Tiandra, she had us laughing the whole time. As we walked past Claire's in the mall she ran up to the window and said, "Look, Grandma this is my favorite store!" I asked her why it was her favorite store and she told us that it was where she got her ears pierced and that she has now named it "Tia's Earring Salon" and that it was going to be her favorite store forever. We laughed. She was so Funny!

Our Date with Tiandra

Tia came and stayed with us for a couple nights last week and we told her she could go on our date with us and where did she want to go. She told me she wanted to go to the mall! I couldn't figure out why a 4 year old would want to go to the mall but after we got there she took us straight to the playland and Christopher Robin's Forest! She had a great time.

My Grandma

This is a post to honor my Grandma Jensen. She is an amazing woman. She raised nine children which is an amazing feat all by itself. She also worked many years as a Registered Nurse at Bear Lake Memorial. She would work midnights so she wouldn't be away from her family as long. I have recently been working on some geneology and have learned that through my Grandmother Jensen I have an ancestor that came over on the Mayflower. She was only one of 5 women that survived that voyage in 1620! What an incredible heritage I have been blessed with and I am so grateful for the special men and women who have sacrificed so much so that I might have a better life. I am very grateful for those first pioneers who heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and accepted in into their lives. I truly have been blessed.

Christmas 2008

What a wonderful time we had with our family at Christmas. Everyone was able to be together at Chaunntel and Rob's cabin for Christmas Eve. We had a prime rib dinner and opened each other's gifts and just enjoyed being together. As time goes by I realize more and more the importance of having everyone together. I am very blessed.

Christmas has come to our house

Finally... we got Christmas up at our house. Since most of you won't see our house for Christmas I thought I would share through my blog. As many of you know, I love Christmas. I love the lights and the decorations. I love the kindness I witness all around me. I love the reason we celebrate it. I have a village that takes all day to set up which has stretched into 24 houses and many accessories. Thanks to Nate, we got lights put up on the house. Thanks to Tradio, we got ourselves our first artificial tree for $25.00. We think it turned out quite nice and it sure was easier to decorate. This way I can leave it up until March if I want! If you read this share your favorite things about Christmas.

He's coming home

Our baby gets to come home today! He gets to come home without oxygen too! We are so grateful he is doing better! Kwinnae is doing a little better each day. It has really been a challenge trying to find some pain medication that she can take and not itch or get sick. Sorry Kwinnae for giving you that challenge! She also said Tyce opened his eyes for a few minutes last night which we have all been anxiously awaiting! Thank you everyone for the prayers.
