Wow....... 2009

Who could believe that 2009 is here all ready. We had a family dinner on New Years day. Everyone brought food and no one left hungry. We played games and had fun visiting. We bought a new fridge and dining room table at Blackers from Heidi on New years day. We gave our old ones to Kate & Brian. Kenny and some other leaders from church took some of the boys up to Skip Yanceys cabin up by Cave Falls outside of Ashton yesterday and spent the night. They did some planning ,dug snow caves and went sledding. I got a early start today and did laundry, plunked on the piano for awhile, and got my lesson prepared. It is cold outside, we had rain yesterday, and tomorrow our high is suppose to be 4 degrees.

The end of 2008

Well this year has gone by so very fast.We had a great Christmas and then celebrated Heidi's 20th birthday.We have been very blessed this year. We have had some trials but many good things have taken place also. We really had a white Christmas and the snow has stuck around.Here are a few pictures from the birthday party. I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. May 2009 find you all well.

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.
