Happy New Years 2013!!

We spent New Year's Eve at home this year.  I didn't think Lawson or Connor would make it to the end but they held on!




 
Happy New Years!!  We are excited to see what this year holds in store for us.  Especially with welcoing a new little man into our family in June!!

Kenny plays Basketball

Kenny played basketball this year and says she had fun.  It was a coed league with 1st and 2nd grades.  The girls basically ran up and down the court while the boys dribbled and shot the ball. 
 



 

Connor and Lawson got pretty bored during the games but it's good for them to support their sister!

Kenny says she wants to play next year and I am happy to have her play a sport and not dance!

Christmas Part 2

We did something new this year and had Christmas downstairs.  It worked out great because their were so many of us.  It was a little crazy with having the kids opening their presents and wanting to see what everyone got. 

Have to have the traditional picture on the stairs.

Let the present opening begin.  My phone died at the first and I had to use Josh's phone and not lots of pics got taken.






We surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland!  We gave them Disney luggage and Kenny a princess dress and Connor a perry shirt.  They were both excited but thought the trip at the end of January was too far away.

 

Love our little family.


We had a great Christmas and the kids are already telling me things they want for next year!

Christmas Eve 2012

On Christmas Eve we had a family party and Kyle and Shannon's. Of course yummy food was served and fun was had. 






Most of the kids spent lots of time playing down stairs and hanging out.  It's crazy to think that all these kids came from us cousins!

This little girls is so dang cute and I was loving those leg rolls so much that I had to have a picture.

Gentry and Kyle show off their impressive bellies.

We decided to find out what gender of baby we were having on Christmas Eve.  When I had an ultrasound I had the tech wrap a blue or pink ribbon around a stuffed monkey and wrap it up so we couldn't see it.




 
And IT"S A BOY!!
 
Kenny was a little disappointed at first.  She and I had a great talk about how she is going to be such a great big sister to her three brothers and how there must be a reason we are having another boy.  I told her that her and I would be sure to do lots of girl stuff together and that she was going to be pretty spoiled.  She has her moments of wanting a sister but for the most part she is happy to have another brother. 



 
After the Christmas Eve party we headed back to my parents to open the traditional Christmas P.J.s


 
This was the best group shot I could get.

We skyped with Jordan and Lacey for a little bit.

 
We tried to keep up the tradition of all of us sleeping in the same room.  We had Gen and Drew in one bed, Josh and I in another, Connor and Lawson together and then Chase and Kenny had separate beds on the other side of the room.  I looked up knock knock jokes on my phone to help keep that tradition up as well.  

The kids slept great and we even had to wake them up in the morning to get the party started.

Christmas 2012 part 1

On the Sunday before Christmas we headed over to Richfield to have a Christmas celebration with Grandma and Grandpa Jensen and Jeremy and Laura and their kids.
 
Grandma Jensen wanted shirts decorated by the kids and they had a great time doing that.

 

The kiddos got fun gifts from Grandma and Grandpa and it was a fun night.
