Beware...Extra Long Post

First all...Happy Easter! I love any and every excuse there is to get together with family. Yes, I LOVE spending time with my family. Here are some pictures from our great Easter and some of the Easter festivities from the days before....

The Easter Bunny found us at the Jensen home!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Kennedi, Brayden and I really had a great time coloring Easter eggs!
And I think Kennedi did a great job decorating them.

We wore poor Brayden right out!
Coloring Easter eggs is hard work!

Easter Egg Hunt in Grandma & Grandpa's Backyard

Brayden...he's always happy!

It was so beautiful outside, I just wanted to stay out there all day.

Let's go fly a kite!

This is Kennedi flying the kite...

...and this is the kite flying

Kennedi took a break to jump on the trampoline,
she LOVES the tramp!


Or, why not hula hoop?

Or take a tractor ride with Grandpa and Ethan?

City Easter Egg Hunt

I tried explaining to Kennedi that once they told her she could go, that she was supposed to run out and get two Easter Eggs (even though they were bags of candy and not eggs) and then to come back to me and Brayden. Well after patiently waiting they finally said it was time to go. But of course, guess what she did? She stood there screaming and crying wanting me to come and help her. But I had Brayden in the stroller, so after waiting for the area to clear out I "happily" walked out there with her and helped her pick up her bags.

I'm sure Brayden would have been happy to help if he could have.

Twilight Party

Oh Edward...

I was nominated to have a Twilight Party at my house. So of course I said, party? Come on over! I've never even read the book nor seen the movie before the party.
We had a GREAT time, we should do it again girls!

Temple Square and Park City Olympic Park

A few weeks ago we had a family friend of ours from Denmark, Christian, come and visit. He is attending school in Seattle and was on his spring break so we took him to the Olympic Park in Park City and Temple Square. It was a long day, but we really had so much fun and the weather was great!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) we didn't ride the bobsled...


...but we did ride down this crazy thing...the zip line!

Whew! Boy, it was sure fun!

Aunt Cindy's Visit


A few weeks ago my sister Cindy came to visit from Pennsylvania and surprised the whole family! We had it planned for quite a while, so it was fun to keep the secret and see everyone's reaction when they first saw her. We had a really fun time together...boy do I miss my sister Cindy!!!

Aunt Mandy, Aunt Cindy and Brayden

At dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Cafe Sabor!

I'm not sure if this is the best picture to end my post with, but here it is anyway.

...Don't ask!!

This picture was taken last summer. I had the best opportunity to spend a lot of time with my two sisters, Natalie and Mandy, Mandy's boy (Dylan and Ethan) and my mom last summer when the road between Tremonton and Logan was closed for construction, so they spent a lot of nights at my house. We had tons of fun and made great memories. I really love spending time with my family. Really, what would I do without any of them? They're AMAZING...every single one of them!

I tag Tawna Perkins, Ashlee Bair, Shannon Rhodes, Stefanie Kierstead, Chelsie McCorristin and Angie Andreasen! I can't wait to see all your photos!

Happy Birthday To My Baby Boy!!

Yep...believe it or not my baby boy is already 6 months old. Wow! Has the time flown by. I have his six month appointment on Monday, so I'll be sure to post his stats.
There is so much I love about Brayden...I could go on forever, but here are a few things that come to my mind first:

• His smile. How much cuter can a smile be?
• I love that he is always so happy. He rarely EVER cries.
• He has slept through the night since he was 6 weeks old.
• His chubby cheeks, and legs, and arms...his whole body!!
• That he loves his big sister so much, which is exactly what I hoped for. They'll definately be best friends for life!

Like I said, I could go on about him forever, but we'll stop there. Here is a slideshow from the past 6 months.

Catching Up...

The other day I was looking through the pictures on my camera and realized that I had some pretty cute ones that I haven't posted yet. They are all sort of random, but here they are...

Just because there is snow outsides doesn't

mean we can't go play on the swings!!
I was sure that Brayden stayed warm. He obviously was comfortable.

When it's just too cold to outside and play, I try to find different ways to entertain my kids. I'm not much for just turning on cartoons for Kennedi, I just don't like the idea of watching too much television! So this is what we came up with for the night, Kennedi's hut. She LOVED it. We had tons of fun making it.

Brayden had fun watching too!

Oh my sweet little Kennedi...

Yes, this is her asleep...in the hallway! For anyone who knows Kennedi, this is a rare occasion for her to fall asleep anywhere but in her own bed. I must have wiped her out. She is actually laying in front of the door to Brayden's room. I was in the putting him to bed and that's what I walked out to.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again and again...) but I have the best kids EVER. I love them so much!

Dennis Quaid Interview on Ellen

I cannot stop laughing at this episode of Ellen. It was on way back in October when I was on maternity leave and I could not stop laughing! If I need a little laugh or something to cheer me up I usually try to watch an episode of Ellen. She is hilarious! One of these days, I will make it to her show...no doubt!
