CHRISTMAS TIME AT THE JENSEN HOUSE

WELL WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS EVE , CHRISTMAS DAY & MY BABY TURNED 20 TODAY. WE GOT TOGETHER WITH FAMILY AND HAD TONS TO EAT. I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. FOR THE BIRTH OF CHRIST AND FOR ALL MY GREAT FAMILY. I WILL LET THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY. A COUPLE PICTURES ARE OF DANNY AND THE GIRLS AT HIS LAST SOCCER GAME. WE HAVE HAD ALLOT OF SNOW AND IT'S BEEN PRETTY COOL.

Let is SNOW Dec.20,2008

We got a little snow this week and allot of wind. We have seen some below zero temps with the wind chills. We need all the snow we can get.






We had Kylee and Alexis the other night and Marcus stopped in and made a really cool linking log house for them.

We are pretty much ready for Christmas. We had a nice dinner over at my work on Friday and then Melanie and I went out and got our visiting teaching done. I have been terrible at it this year. One new years resolution will be to do better on visiting teaching. Today we met Kim, Danny & the girls over at the Coop and the girls ,Danny and Kenny went on a horse drawn wagon ride and also got to see Santa. Kate & Brian took their kids over there this after noon. Kenny and I took a gift out to Doug & Vic today in Moore.
We visited for awhile then went out to Mackay reservoir and looked around and ate lunch in Mackay. We saw 4 deer and over 50 antelope.

It was a nice day and we had fun.









Kenny came home and went over to the coop and got the front end loader and brought it over here to dig the drifts out and also dug the neighbors mail boxes out. Heidi Christine's 20th birthday is the day after Christmas. It's hard to believe that 20 years ago I was telling myself I could not go in to labor because I had three other little girls counting on me to make a good Christmas. They were all very excited when we brought home a new little sister in a Christmas stocking a couple days later. I went an at 8:00 Christmas night and had Heidi at 8:10 the next morning.Better go now I have more laundry to get done.

Dec. 6,2008

In just a few short days Christmas will be here. It is crazy how fast this year has gone by. We have all been very blessed.






We celebrated Michales third birthday after Thanksgiving. He got all kinds of neat things and had fun.




This last week was busy but fun. we got some Christmas stuff delivered. Then Monday night we went to Danny's indoor soccer game in Idaho Falls.They had a tie game this week and Danny played, keep at the goal. He did a great job but his elbows and knees had allot of burns on them from the turf. He has two good cheerleaders in Kylee and Alexis. Tuesday night Kenny had young men's and they made gingerbread houses to deliver this next week.Wednesday night we went out to a concert at the Snake River high school because Brian was playing in the orchestra.It was really good and allot of talented people. Kate and the kids sat in the balcony and when the orchestra played songs from Grease I guess Michael put on his own little dance show. He is quite the little dancer.I'm so glad music plays such a big part in their lives. On Thursday night we went to Katie and Nicholas school Christmas program. They did a great job.







Nicholas looked so handsome in his blue shirt and tie,


and Katie got to be the GPS girl to help Santa find his way.The kids are all growing up so fast. I'm glad they all live close to us. I'm sure I would be lost without them.




I am watching Michael and Christian for awhile today so Kate,Brian,Katie & Nichaols can go in and donate service at the Desert Industries for their ward. They st a good example for us all.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgivivg came and went very quickly. All except for the extra weight we all put on by eating so much. We were very blessed to have so much great food and great company. We had all ages there from Grandma Gheen who is 96 to Christian who is 1. Grandma didn't use her walker to much but Christian loved pushing it all around and climbing on it. Grandma Gheen ,my folks, Curt, Diane, Stephen ,Laurie & their kids, Kate, Brian & their kids,Shylo,Marcus,Sam ,Heidi ,Kenny and I were all over to the church to celebrate. Twenty three all together. Kim,Danny and the girls were with the Georges and Richard & Jenny in Idaho Falls with Jennies family. We all met at our house on that night and thanks to Jenny we were able to decorate ginger bread houses.




We had a blast visiting and decorating while Sam, Brian, Marcus, Danny & Kenny all played a game of Risk, which Kenny won. Kathy & Bob spent their day looking for a friend of Bobs who got lost while hunting. Thankfully he was found and was ok. Kathy said they will have their T-day on friday. Kylee and Alexis spent t-day night with us so Kim and Danny could go shopping at 4:00 am for all the good Black Friday sales. The girls were really good .

Married for 29 years.....WOW

Well we just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. Time has really gone by fast. We went to Jackson Hole Wyoming on Saturday and spent the night at Snow King lodge.






We had fun walking around Jackson and looking at all the expensive things they have to offer. Like fur and leather coats for the rich and famous or art that you couldn't pay me to hang in my house. Granted I would like the chance to walk in to the stores and not look at the price and just buy it because I like it.







Targee has snow but Jackson is running their snow making machines trying to get some snow. We drove outside of Jackson to take some pictures of the Tetons





and saw 18 bull elk all together. They were all 5&6 point bulls.











It was cool to watch them. We also saw some swans.






We stopped at Swan Valley and had one of the famous square Ice Cream cones. It was beautiful weather.

Nov.8th 2008

In talking with my Mom and Dad last night we came up with the idea to go on a cruise in July 2010 to Alaska.We would like Kathy,Bob,Stephen,Laurie,Richard,Jenny,Mom,Dad Kenny and I all to go. I really would like to get this to come true. I hope everyone will start saving so we can go. It would be a great trip with all of us.







There are several in the family with bad fall colds. Tis the season. Kenny put up a TV in the exercise room today, and I did the normal laundry. Kenny also took my car to Idaho Falls to have some warranty work done,I stayed here and had an insulin blood test run along with cholesterol and tyroid.I would like to get off some of this medicine I'm on. We had a beautiful weather day today. Well hope all is well with everyone.

Wow ...November is here....

Well here it is Nov. 2008. Time is flying by so fast. Kenny and Norm went back out hunting with no luck but had a good time and enjoyed hunting season.

I went to Odgen yesterday with Mom and Dad.We went for Quinns baptism. Stephen, Laurie and the kids were there also.It was great to see everyone.It was a very nice day and we had a great lunch at Richard and Jennys after. The weather was great.





We had a good Halloween also.Allot of cute and scary kids. I had the grand kids and The Barkers as my only trick or treaters.









We got family pictures taken of the Hammonds and Georges , I need to get the Olers and Gardners to hold still for some too.







Heidi and Sam spent the weekend moving in to their new house.I'm sure they will enjoy having their own home. Shylo and Marcus spent the weekend with the Oler family for Marcus's Grandma Hebbdon's funereal. Alexis has a ear infection and sinus infection poor little duck. Kate has a bad cold also I guess it is the season. We got some much needed rain last night and today. Added We vote for a next president of the United States this week. I know the one I definitely don't want in and the other is questionable.
