First Day of Middle School

Kids grow up so fast! Seems like it was only yesterday when Ashley was a small fry. Here she is on her first day of 6th grade...all decked out in dress code approved attire! Good luck Ashley!

GO CHIEFS!

I'm totally outnumbered here! I'm a Cowboys fan first. Everyone else here at home is a Chiefs fan..even Dave! He got these clothes from Grandpa Jerry. You know that Daddy's proud of his little Chiefs fan.

I Love My Life Jacket

We went on a trip to Arkansas to visit Alex a while back. While we were there we had to buy David a life jacket because we were going out on a boat. He loved that thing! He didn't want to take it off. In fact, he asked if he could sleep in it! Luckily, he was so exhausted at the end of the day he didn't notice that he went to bed without it.

The Butterfly Palace

One of the places we went this summer was The Butterfly Palace in Branson. First we watched a film about a caterpillar and a praying mantis. Eventually the caterpillar turns into a butterfly and the mantis eats it. David was very disturbed by this (so was I!). After the film you get to go into a large room filled with butterflies. We took pictures of the butterflies that landed on us. We had to wait a really long time before one finally landed on David's arm just as we were about to leave. The kids also got to release some new butterflies into the room. We all enjoyed the experience.

Sasa's Bridal Shower

On August 2nd I threw a bridal shower for Sarah. It was my first one and it went pretty well. I bought way too much food, but that made for some good snacks for a few days afterward. Sarah (or as I like to call her, Sasa) is getting married to Mark on October 11th. Ashley and I are bridesmaids in the wedding and David is the ring bearer. Let's all hope he complies with that! This is a picture of me with Grom, Kathy, Sasa, and Aunt Renea at the shower.

Blog and Learn

Let me just first welcome you to Jensenland! This is my first attempt at blogging. Don't know much about it, but think it's an easy way for finding out about people's lives and having your own little place to share your constructed thoughts with others. I have lots to learn. I guess I'll start by looking at other people's blogs and copy what I like.
