First Week of Kindergarten Down...

Marshall was very excited about his first day of Kindergarten. Everything happened so fast. The bell rang, the kids lined up, and in they went! I didn't even get to wish him good luck or give him a hug! He is such a big boy now! He is growing up too fast!!

This is Marshall walking into his classroom for the very first time!! He absolutely LOVES Kindergarten!!
Marshall LOVES his teacher Mrs. Richman. He wants to invite her to his "6" birthday party!! He said he likes Mrs. Richman "because she has so many fun activities for us to do."

Meet our friend Lumpy...

Marshall found this "toad frog" in our backyard a couple of weeks ago. We could not believe how big it was. We think it wandered over from the golf course and made our backyard its home for a while!
Marshall was VERY excited about his toad frog. At first he pinched the poor thing to hold it, but he soon got the hang of it!!
Kason and Briggy were pretty cautious when it came to getting close to the toad frog.

It soon became a family affair when we called Grandpa and Babby to tell them about it!!

The funniest thing that happened is when the frog jumped and touched Briggy's leg. Briggy jumped and shuddered while he said "That frog is naughty to me!!" I wish I could have caught it on the video camera!!
We haven't seen Lumpy since this day.:( But, we think he may still be around because we haven't seen any cockroaches since the beginning of summer. Again, he REALLY is our friend!!!

3 WEEKS TOMORROW!!

Sylvie Rose Jensen is Here!!

Sylvie was born on July 17, 2009 at 2:34 p.m. She weighed 7lbs 4oz and was 19 3/4 inches. She has been pure sweetness ever since she was born. She is THE best baby ever!! She is a great sleeper and eater. I could not sleep the night she was born just because of pure excitement!! I finally have my girl!!! The boys just adore her!! We are sooo grateful and excited to have her in our lives!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Marshall!!

We had a bowling party by Marshall's request this year!! It was great thanks to so much help from the family!! He invited only boys who were his age and family and they all had a blast!! The morning of his party I was scared that my amniotic fluid was leaking so I spent the morning at the hospital!! Luckily it was a false alarm. I DID NOT want to have 2 birthdays on the same day!!! Since I was a little frazzled the family TOTALLY helped out!! What would we do without family?!! I can't believe that 5 years ago Marshall was born. He is such an amazing boy!! We love you TONS Marshall!! Happy Birthday!!

The 4th of July!!

We had a great 4th of July this year!! We started the day off by going to the infamous Boulder City parade. TJ and I sat in the shade with Kason and Briggy while Marshall went right up to the front and got all the good stuff! He made a friend ("Once a Grandpa, always a grandpa") who helped him get ALL the good stuff. He came back with tons of candy, an awesome hat with the American flag for himself and one for Kason, and popsicles for all the boys!! He really scored, and had sooo much fun doing it! The guy taught him to hold out his hat to get treats, and boy did it work!! I wish I had pictures of this but we didn't bring the camera until the fireworks.:( A little later that day we went to the water park which we go to all the time but we weren't expecting the crazy amount of people that were there!! It was a good way to cool off, but because of all the people we didn't want to stay there long. Then we went for a swim at the Pohe's. Ahh, so refreshing!! After our swim we had a BBQ at the Jensen casa. Aunt Michaun, Uncle Matt, Maylee, Makelle are visiting from Kentucky and, Uncle Kevin, and Aunt Britney were in town visiting from Florida. A ton of Uncle Matt's family were also in town for their sweet baby girl Makelle's blessing. It was sooo much fun to have so much family around for the 4th of July!! We topped the night off with awesome fireworks!! The kids were so tired by the end of the day that we didn't have to fight with them to go to bed!! It was the first night ever that Kason brushed his teeth, went potty all while still sleeping. So funny!! Happy 4th of July!!!

T-Ball

 
 
 

We are sad to see that T-Ball season is over!! It was really alot of fun! Marshall improved exponentially and he loved every minute of it! He had a great coach (That's him giving Marshall a high five as he slid into third!). The weather was perfect and it was fun to see the improvement in all of the kids!!
