Halloween Parties

Friday was a busy but fun day. First we went to the elementary school Halloween parade. Kaden wanted to be a football player.

Carli was a witch this year. She has always been a princess, cheerleader, or something pretty so we though we would mix it up this year.

Then we carved pumpkins. I always wanted to make a throw up pumpkin because I think they look awesome!

Here is me and my costume. I thought it was a cute shirt.

Carli did this one all by herself!

Then we had a ward trunk or treat, then a chili cook off.

My cute Minnie. Azzie has been eating candy non stop and has not put her pumpkin down.

My cute little witch.
Happy Halloween everyone! Trick or treating tonight!

Halloween Fun

My dad invited my sister and I to go with him to Black Island Farms. I had never heard of it but its a corn maze in Layton. I had such a blast that I am now making it a family tradition.
First we went on a wagon ride around the farm. Azzie loved it and we got to get off and pick out any pumpkin in the field.

Then the bigger kids and Trevor went through the haunted house/corn maze. I was worried about Carli but it turns out she did just fine and Kaden is the one that ran as fast as he could past the chain saw guy. They both had a ton of fun. Then we did a corn maze, and they have these hay slides that are enormous that Azzie and the kids just loved. They also have a kiddy train ride, animal alley, pig races, paintball, cannon shoot, straw maze, and bon fires. I loved this place, had a blast, and cant wait to go back next year. www.blackislandfarms.com

Kaden also that day played a great football game, and we got him to get his pictures done. Finally!

Pictures at Wheeler Farm

I'm definitely not a pro at photography but I'm getting better. Here are a few from do-it-yourself photography. They turned out cute! I couldn't talk Kaden into coming with us because he wanted to play with his friends, but tomorrow my dad is coming down to do our family pictures. I have such cute girls!

It's a Boy

I was totally expecting it to be another girl, so I was a little shocked. Everything went well with the ultrasound. I saw 10 fingers and toes, and he looked healthy which was the most important thing. I feel really blessed and hope everything goes smooth from here on out. They did put my due date out another week though so thats a bummer.


So now comes the nesting/getting ready part. My favorite! I already got rid of everything pink. I have a few boxes of hand me downs from my sister (thanks Kali) so we are sorting through it all. I also am getting ready to transition Azzie out of her crib by December. I found 2 twin/bunk beds on KSl for 25.00 and they have wagon wheels in them. They are purple so we are going to sand them down and repaint them. I am doing a western cowgirl/cowboy theme for my two little ones so if you find any cowboy decorations out there let me know.

New Babies bedding (still working on a name)

Azzie's Christmas present

I'm so excited to get started.

Boy or Girl????

So the big ultrasound is on Wednesday! Hopefully everything goes well and all we want is a healthy, happy baby. Here is my thoughts:

Girl: I think it will be a girl. I already have all girl stuff, her name is already picked out, Azzie and Carli want a sister, and Azzie has to share a room and I really want to do a pink and brown cowgirl room.

Boy: I would be totally shocked if its a boy! I don't have anything, no names picked out, have to repaint my pink room, but it would be fun to have another one since its been a while. Kaden wants a boy and it would be nice to have one of our kids pass on the Jensen name. Also Bart (trevors dad) really wants it to be a boy.

Either way I don't care but am excited to find out.

What do you guys think? Well see if you guys are right. Right now my poll is 50/50.

The first games!

Football registration 225, cleats 40, gloves 17, fundraisers 100, seeing this smile after a great play, PRICELESS!

After all the hard work and hours of practice, the big game. We had to rush Kaden from a wedding up in Big Cottonwood Canyon to Grantsville in a hurry but we made it on time. I'm glad to because it was a great game. The game ended up being a tie and then we lost in overtime but it was a good tough game.

Then the second game was against West Jordan. Good rival team since we live in West Jordan. We won 24-0! Kaden had a fumble recovery, and some great tackles but the below picture was a great hard hit. K Town Cougar Pride!

Trevor the Roper

Last year Trevor was into Team Penning (where you try to get a bunch of cows into a pen on a horse). This year his new thing is team roping.

He is the header the first horse who ropes the calf's horns, then the second horse the healer ropes the hind leg. His horse got special training. Trevor loves it.

He goes to Erda every Tuesday night with his brother and dad. This week it wasn't so hot so we joined him and had a lot of fun. While were not ropers it still is fun to ride the horses around and Azzie is getting to be quite a good rider already at two.

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!!!

Its my favorite time of the year! Fall and Football. Consumes every weekday from 5:30-7:30 Kaden has practice, games on Saturdays, and not to mention my NFL addiction which is Thursday-Monday. Thank goodness for DVR's.

First its the Kearns Fire, water and ice festival and Kaden is in the parade with his team. Then its drills, plays, running and hitting. I don't know who likes it more me or him. We are both passionate about football. This year he got the position he wanted. Starting offensive wide receiver.

The girls don't mind watching either.

Next week is his first game. Bring it ON!

School

Kaden's first day of 6th grade!

Carli excited for the 4th grade!
They both love their teachers this year. I hope they get good grades.

Just a saturday night drive

I had to get out of the 100 degree heat. We took a fun drive up the mirror lake highway. We saw a ton of deer, found a few places to camp with the horses next month, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and the cooler temperatures!

Saying "See you Later" to Grandma

DeEsta Young Gunther
11/20/27 - 7/10/10
I am not good with goodbyes but rather a see you later. I was so glad to see her last month and she was so excited to hear the news of another baby on the way. We will miss you grandma!

It was so great to see a lot of my aunts, uncles and cousins that I have not seen in years.

More Birthdays and Independance Day!

The 4th of July is one of my favorite weeks of the year! I am greatful for the country that I live in and it's mine and Carli's birthday! We celebrated the 4th by going to the Tooele parade and the bit n spur rodeo. Forgot the memory card so no pictures. Then we went to cowabunga bay for our birthdays!

I just about fell out of this slide.

You defenitely get wet! Azzie got to go on 5 of the slides so it was a blast.

My favorite part was the pool/lazy river. The water was about 80 degrees, more like a hot springs than a pool. It was so nice azzie cried when we left.

Then we went to Bucca De Beppo for my birthday dinner. I got a sweet card and a new car stereo from my honey. Thanks babe, so 32 wasn't as bad as I thought. Then we went home and lit fireworks.
