Getting Ready

Finally came up with a name. Austin Thomas Jensen due 2/21/11

34 weeks-enjoying sleepless nights, itchy skin, and using the bathroom every 30 minutes.

Now that the holidays are over, we painted the room from pink to brown, set up the crib, and have been shopping for a lot of blue.

I hope everything goes well and we end up with a happy, healthy baby with all ten fingers and toes. We are so excited for his arrival.

Happy New Years 2011!

I'm ready to party!

During the day Trevor and Kaden went snowboarding at Brighton! They had a blast even though it was cold. Kaden did very well for only his second time ever, and went down the majestic lift 4 times. I was super jealous that I couldn't go but me and the girls went and saw Tangled. It was so cute and Azzie loved it.

For New Years Eve we had some cousins over for a small party.

Complete with another amazing steam-baked crab and lobster fest, Yummmmmmm.

We enjoyed the night hanging out with family. Az stayed up past midnight, unfortunately her dad was passed out by 11:30 since he was so tired from snowboarding, party pooper.

This new year I am looking forward to a new addition in the family in only 7 weeks!

Christmas 2010

Finally the countdown arrives!

On the 23rd we went to Grandma & Grandpa Glovers for a pre-Christmas dinner. We got a few presents, went to see the lights at Willard Bay and enjoyed having Aunt Whitney from Ohio come and visit.

On Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Raylenes for an excellent dinner and white elephant gifts. I also got to talk on the phone to my brother serving a mission in Dominican Republic.

Santa brought Azlyn a baby doll nursery complete with dolls, and accessories and a couple of barbie dolls.

Carli got some Liv dolls, cupcake cooking kit, clothes, build a bear, and a violin.

Kaden is proudly sporting his new aeropostale clothes and got Madden 11, and NFL training camp for the wii.

Me and Trevor got our droid phones and are enjoying them. My favorite part was spending time with family and in the morning going from playing baby dolls, teaching a violin lesson, then watching Kaden work out on the wii. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and I am so grateful for my family and all the blessings in my life.

David Aurchuleta Tonight!

I am a huge fan of David Archuleta's Christmas Cd and am so excited I got a ticket to go see him perform with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir tonight! Thanks Crissi and Mandi.

Holiday Lights & Scones

Our family had a great time seeing the Holiday Lights at Thanksgiving Point.

It wasn't that cold for December and the kids loved the lights and the wagon ride.

Then we went to winder dairy for delicious scones and hot chocolate

Happy Holidays!

Secret Letter

Just thought I would blog about the note taped to my door today. I love being a parent!

To Kaden: don't open unless your Kaden (too bad he is not home today ha ha)

Hi Kaden heart heart heart

You make my blood hotter and my heart pump faster

lov you baby

Thanksgiving & Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving! I had a great thanksgiving this year. Wednesday night the girls made banana cream, coconut cream, pumpkin, apple pies and a pumpkin roll. Thursday I woke up and ran outside to grab the paper and read through all the adds, then made a salad and rolls. We went to Trevor's parents house for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Then we made it over to my Aunts house to say hi to all of my extended family. My family is what I am most thankful for!

Just a quiet Thanksgiving morning with only one kid this year

About 10pm I hopped over to walmart and already the carts were all gone, luckily I found one in the parking lot. Ran around the store trying to get everything. I was the 3rd person too check out and got the heck out of there by 12:15 and went to bed!

The Final Game

Thank goodness football is over because it is cold! Kaden's final game was a blast. Trevor was sweet and stayed home with Azzie so she wouldn't freeze and me and my dad went down to Kadens Border Warz tournament. He was so excited to play at Real Stadium even in the snow. They won 21-6 and it was a great end to a great season.

I am thankful for football. It is not only a game but it gets the whole family excited and together. My passion comes from my dad. He used to take me to BYU games back in the 90's and I have been a fan ever since. Its real fun to have my dad around and have a kid that is almost more excited than me. I am just glad I get to be a fan and not have to play in the snow.

Happy Birthday Trevor & Happy Halloween

Saturday started out with Kaden's final regular season game, tournament to follow. They played Murray and won. He was so excited to have two interceptions and one of them he ran back for a touchdown. Awesome job Kaden!

Then later that night Kaden went out with his friends and went to a Halloween party. He thinks he is too old/cool to hang out with his old parents at home. Azzie took a nap so I took Carli out in the rain to go trick or treating in the rain. We took it easy and rented scary movies. Azzie finally woke up. Her favorite part was handing out candy to the trick or treaters. We had a great night.

Sunday was Trevor and his brother Josh's Birthday. We had family over for pizza, cake, and ice cream.

Happy Birthday Trev!

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.
