June and July
Happy 4th Birthday Mckinlee!! Parties, swimming, cake, presents....the girl was spoiled. I sure love her and am so glad I get to be her Mom. She is growing up way to fast!!
I'm saving this picture for when they are teenagers. Hopefully it will remind them what good little buddies they were. 
Our sweet Chloe. She is growing up way to fast. She is such a good baby and so much fun. She has a cute little personality and the cutest chunky little thighs!! We enjoy her so much.
Chloe haning out on the 4th of July. We had such a fun time. The night before we enjoyed a nice little neighborhood firework show put on by my pyro husband. The next day we hit the parade, swimming at Grandmas, and more fireworks. 
We went on the funnest little hike. The trail is called Cress Creek up by Heise. It was so fun and easy enough for the kids. I just strapped Chloe to my back and headed up the trail. The hike was a lot of fun except for the rattlesnake we saw!
Well there's a quick little update. We are having a great summer and trying to enjoy every moment before its over.

Zoo
We went to Tautphaus Park zoo a few weeks ago for my birthday. The kids had a ball. My parents, sister, and brother and his cute boys came along too. We went through the zoo and had a picnic afterwards. It was a great day!
Here the kids are checking out the otters.
Chole even had a great time hangin with her Daddy.
This is my cute little nephew. Seriously, could he get any cuter. He is like a mini Brad Pitt.
Here is Kinlee and her cousin Evan. Evan is just a few months older. They were great little buddies.
Riding the Tiger.
Petting the goats.

An Update
Whew!! Three kids is keeping me pretty busy..not much time for blogging. Here is a little update.
We celebrated Dal's birthday in March. He turned two. He got a hotwheels tricycle and a snazzy cowboy outfit. (He was always trying to play dress-up in Kinlee's princess dresses so we got him his own dress0-up stuff)
Easter was great. The kids are at such a fun age. We took them to the city Easter egg hunt and the Broulims hunt. Both Grandmas decided to have hunts as well. So we loaded up on the goodies. It was a great day.
New Sunday Easter outfits.
We had so much Easter candy we had to eat them in shifts. This was giant chocolate bunny night.
And this was giant sucker night.
Our little Chloe is doing great. She is such a fun baby and is finally getting out of the gassy stage. She is starting to play with toys and puts everything in her mouth. She is smiling and jabbering and can roll from her tummy to her back. She is such a sweetie.

Chloe Blessing
We blessed our little Chloe the first part of March. She looked so precious in her white dress, and slept through the blessing like a good little girl. We had a ton of family and Marc gave her a wonderful blessing. We had tons of food at our house afterwards. It was a great day. We love our sweet little girl

Salt Lake Trip
This last weekend we went for nice little family getaway to Salt Lake. We went with Marc's parents and some of his family. Saturday night we had a yummy dinner at Macoroni Grill then to the Kurt Bestor Christmas concert. Afterwards we went for a quick walk throught temple square. It is so beautiful at Christmas time. The lights were amazing. Sunday morning we went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. It was so amazing. President Monson and President Uchdorf were both there and got on stage at the end to present gifts to the guests who participated in the concert. We had such a great time.
Here we are at the hotel looking festive in front of the Christmas tree. Thank you Mom and Papa for the great trip and Mom and Dad for watching the kids. We survived the slick roads and made it home Sunday evening. It was such a great trip and I am totally in the Christmas mood now.Tuesday, November 18, 2008

In honor of our 7 years together, here are 7 reasons I love my hubby:1:He is a great listener
2:He makes me laugh
3:He loves the Lord
4:He is an amazing father
5:He is unselfish
6:He is supportive
7:He loves me despite all my flaws and quirks
I am so grateful for such an amazing husband, and I look forward to spending eternity with him.

Halloween fun
This Halloween was so much fun! We had a ton of parties and activities. Here is a quick overview.
Here we are ready to go to the school carnival. Kinlee was so excited. We painted her nails, put her hair in curlers, even did a little makeup. We got to the carnival and just as we went to walk in......Kinlee threw up. We had one sad little girl when we had to load up in the car and go back home. Poor thing. Luckily it was only a 24 hour bug and she was feeling better the next day.
My Mom and Dad had a fun Halloween party. Food, pumpkin carving, masks making, treats, we had a great time. Marc isn't much of a pumkin carver, but my Dad broke out the power tools and that changed his mind real quick. Here he is drilling a hole into our pumkin. It worked out great.
More pumpkin carving.
Cute little family photo. Marc dressed up as a hunter and I was a moose.
Our cute little fairy getting ready to go trick or treating. We had a trunk or treat in our neighborhood. The kids had a great time and got way too much candy. Then we headed to Grandparents houses for more treats.
Here is our little monkey. Dal loves Halloween. He was shocked that he held out his bag and people filled it with candy.

Pumpkins
Grams and Papa Jensen had us over last Sunday for a little Haloween get together. We ate food (way to much food) and carved pumkins. Poor Marc stayed home sick. Darn it! The kids had a great time and even got their own little pumpkin.

General Conference
General Conference was so amazing this year. We enjoyed it so much. Even the kids settled down and listened for a few minutes. We set them up with pillows, snacks and their stuffed animals and they seemed pretty content. (For a few minutes at least.)
I feel so blessed to be a member of the church and to have a living prophet. I love listening to General Conference; it always uplifts me and makes me want to be a better person. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:
Despite the changes which come into our lives and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our days—as much as we can—with those things which matter most. May we cherish those we hold dear and express our love to them in word and in deed.
-President Thomas S. Monson
The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable……
The third thing we can do is understand the principle of compensation. The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
-Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Preschoool
My baby girl is growing up. She is now going to preschool. She just goes twice a week up to the college. She absolutely loves it. She loves all her "fun teachers" (Kinlee's words) and the frogs in her classroom.
This was the very first day of preschool. We even did her hair in rollers the night before so she would look extra cute. 
It is a very early morning for us. We are used to getting up around 9:00, but she has to be at school at 8:20! It has taken some adjustment, but we are finally on a new schedule. We took this picture by the car right before we left. Kinlee was so amazed that the sun was barely waking up.
And here she is by her classroom door. Her class is call the Jitter bugs. It has been a really fun experience for her and I am so glad she is enjoying it. I just can't believe she's growing up so fast. I think I am going to have a nervous breakdown when she goes to Kindergarten.
