Oregon Family Reunion

We went to LaGrande, Oregon for a family reunion on Rick's side in August. Rick's dad grew up there and his grandpa still lives there. The camp we went to had old train boxcars for us to sleep in (with bunkbeds inside). Here is a picture on Peyton climbing up the side of a train box car.

The camp had a giant slip 'n slide. As you can see, it is really fun! Rick and the boys went down it and went pretty fast!

Here is Peyton and Aunt Jen. The guys (Rick and his brothers) caught crawdads in the creek next to Peyton.

Adorable Bailey- here she is with her tongue out again!

Family picture at the family reunion in Oregon! Keep reading next 2 posts (I am catching up!)

Here are some more updates: Rick is going to school to get a 2nd bachelor's degree in health physics, so he is pretty busy. I am busy at home with 3 kids and having fun, but still adjusting to 3. The boys are growing up so fast and learning so much! Bailey is already 5 1/2 months old, almost sitting up and already eating baby foods!

Fun pictures

Bailey is now 5 1/2 mo. old. In these pictures she is about 3 months old. Brigham loves Bailey! He is always hugging her and playing with her! What a lucky girl!

Looking cute- but where's the smile:)

Bailey loves sticking her tongue out, ever since she was born!

Here is a neat picture of the boys, Rick, Rick's dad and Rick's grandpa!

Here we are in Oregon at a familiy reunion on Rick's side. (middle of August)We got to sleep in old train boxcars that were fixed up with bunkbeds in them. Brigham and Peyton loved it!

Random pictures!

Bailey's Baby blessing (June)- Rick's aunt Karen made a beautiful dress for Bailey! It was perfect!

Brigham's 5th birthday (June 16th). He wanted another volcano cake (he had one for his 4th also)- but this one he wanted to be an exploding volcano. So we put a cup inside the volcano, filled it with red jello water and added dry ice. The boys loved it!

Peyton's 3rd birthday (June 27th). He loves Star Wars so we made an R2D2 cake.

We went to Colorado in July for a family reunion on my side(Ashley's side). My sister Jeni lives in Colorado Springs. This is a picture of all the grandkids after her son Nathan's baptism.

1 Month Old!

Wow! Bailey is already 1 month old. She is a very good baby, only cries when she's hungry or tired. And she sleeps good. The boys really like her and it's fun to watch her grow!

What Cute Kids!

New baby girl!

Bailey Mae Jensen was born April 13th (4 days over). She weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19 1/2 in. She has lots of dark brown hair- I love it! We are so excited to have her here!

I was induced with both Brigham and Peyton a few days early by choice, so I thought I could be patient and go into labor on my own with Bailey. I was wrong. By the third day overdue, I asked to be induced. We went in at 9:30 pm on the 12th and had a cytotec induction. We had her at 10:52 the next morning. All went pretty well except she was having decelerations the whole labor, so I was being monitored pretty closely. Her heartrate continued decelerating into the 50's as I was pushing, so they vacuumed her out after 10 min of pushing. But it was worth it once she was here! We are so excited to have a girl and that she is healthy!

We're having a girl!!

We had our ultrasound on November 17th and found out we are having a girl! She is due on April 9th. We are so excited and very shocked. I wanted a girl so bad but thought it would be another boy. So when the tech told us it was a girl, I was so excited. Rick is also excited to have a girl, but he's a little nervous. Brigham is also excited and loved looking at the pictures and the movie.

Halloween and Thanksgiving

I know, it's been a long time since I posted. So I decided to just post the most recent pictures instead of playing catch up. Our family is now in Chubbuck, ID and we are renting an apartment. It's nice to be living by ourselves again! Rick is working full time at an optical shop and getting his teacher's certificate online. He already has a bachelor's degree in biology, so he can become a biology teacher in 8-10 months with this program. Everything else is going great!

Egg Hunt

Well, Easter was 2 months ago and I'm finally posting the pictures! We went to the Ucon Easter egg hunt. Peyton went with the younger kids and Brigham with the older kids. Brigham was more excited about the toys at the playground than the egg hunt. He didn't want to do it. Oh well, maybe next year he'll like it. They both enjoyed the candy after. Also, they got coupons for Blastoff (a fun game place). Afterward, he talked about it and asked us about it over and over until we took the boys. And they had a blast.

Rick's Birthday

Rick's birthday was April 5th. We had a lot of fun and had family over later for a party. The boys were really excited for the birthday. I gave Rick the Joseph Smith Papers, which he's been wanting for a while.

Hop 2 it

On April 1st, my mom, me and the 2 boys went to Twin Falls for Braden's birthday (my sister Heidi's little boy). We took the kids to a place called Hop to it. It had about 6 different kinds of blow up toys. I wasn't sure if my boys would like it- sometimes they are hesitant about stuff- but they loved it! As you can see the picture of this huge slide, Brigham loved it. He was going crazy, going down it backwards and head first! We were there for a few hours and Brigham and Peyton never slowed down once. I also had a fun time visiting with my mom and sisters Heidi and Lindsey who are in the pictures above.

silly boys

I took these pictures back in March, but I thought they were all pretty cute!
