Picture Day

So we attempted to get our pictures done professionally for the first time.. wow what an ordeal. We were 4 for 5 with participation.. Ryan had enough after the first couple pictures and wanted to play with the pretend oven set the lady had there. We were able to get some really nice pictures.. she took over 600 photos! Here is a little sample of my favorites..

Disco Fever

This year Dave and I decided to go to the boys school gala fundraiser. This year was a disco theme. Well i was able to borrow my dads 3 piece corduroy suit-- yes he still had it! and i then went thrift store shopping for me. We went with a great group of friends and had a blast. Here are the super pics..






dave, gil, kim and alani having too much fun!

Halloween

This year was a great in regards to the kids and their decisions on their Halloween costumes. Bryce from the start wanted to be an officer ( of course I loved it!). Ryan then my default was a prisoner.. come on that was funny i thought. Drew was the hard one... at the store he could not decide then he found a scary face, reaper stick and black robe thinging- of that was fun. Ryan was completely scared of Drew and wanted nothing to do with him... then he wanted nothing to do with his costume-- that my mom made for him.

well here are the pic i have so far...


my little get away artist..
Ryan was very scared of Drew

my little officer of the law.. his belt got too heavy from the start so he had to use his fist to protect me!
Bryce at his school parade.. notice the real LAPD uniform!

Soccer Time Again

Once again the soccer season is back. The boys are loving as much as ever. This year is the first year that the games really count for Drew. So to say it is intense is an understatement! WOW it brings back many memories of my mom yelling on the sideline :)

Drew and Bryce all Smiles

Drew doing his thing... and he does it great!

Bryce turns 6

My middle boy is now 6. Time does go by too quickly. We celebrated by going to the Pirates dinner adventure on his actual birthday. Then on labor day we had over our closest friends and family for a small get together. Bryce wanted a guitar for his birthday, and with the help of our family we were able to get him a really nice acoustic guitar. He started lessons about 3 weeks ago and loves it, he is a quick learner she tells us.
We love you Bryce!
i let them have fun with the cake from Pirates Adventure

First Day of School

The first day of school. The struggles to wake up the kids, get them feed and all dressed up... not in the Jensen household. These fine looking boys were so excited that school was starting that there was no such struggle. All smiles!



Bryce could not wait for his picture

Drew is at the age were clothes do matter.. as does the way you carry your backpack!

My two gems all clean and smiling!

Sea World

So we decided to go to Sea World since the older boys had been kindly reminding us that we have not been "in forever". The term forever out of the mouth of an 8 and 6 year old just makes me laugh. So after getting all organized from our vacation we jumped right back in the car for a day trip to San Diego. We got there at noon and stayed until it closed.. 9 pm! The boys all had a blast, as did David and I. The joys of watching your children be amazed by the wild life is a feeling that you never forget.
the boys checking out the walrus.


Dave, Drew and Bryce enjoying the walrus show. It was too cute watching them from a far. Ryan had fallen asleep and we were sitting in the disabled area.


Ryan loving the penguins, Drew and Bryce in a deep conversation!


My cute boys watching the Flamingos.. dontcha love Ryan's good side?


Feeding the dolphins is always a favorite for all. As an adult you just can't get enough of petting them!

Bryce and Ryan touching the starfish. It was to cute to see them both being gentle together.

To end the night we stayed for the "Shamu Rocks" show, and it actually did rock. This show is more jumps and music rather than learning about the whales. We all loved it and it was well worth the wait.
All smiles at 9 pm!

look hard, that is Shamu
Bryce and David all cuddled up.

Laughlin

So just like every year we went to Laughlin with the family. This year, as always we were lucky enough to have Nana, Papa, Aunt Joanie, Uncle Keith, Josh, Sara, Elijah and Alethea join us: to to say we had a full boat was an understatement! This year the weather was great, 105-108 each day!

Ryan loved the rocks, he always seemed to be tossing them into the lake. Which is better than were he tossed them on day 2; which was my forehead!

Drew fishing as usual, and once again he was the only lucky one to catch some. You have to look really good under his right arm to see the great big fish!

Drew having fun in the lake as always.

Bryce looking as cute as always, and loving his vest with the cool whistle that Papa placed on there for "emergencies only"

Ryan, Aunt Joanie and Nana feeding the cute ducks that found their way to our beach.

Nana enjoying some lovin' from 2 of the 3, Bryce was swimming out to Pirates Island to see his Uncle Josh during this picture.




David and Bryce skipping rocks as boys will do.



David just trying to get Ryan not to toss rocks to close to others. Aim for the water little man!

Drew having his time at the wheel.

Of Course Bryce drove too, though he could not see over the wheel at first!



Bryce and Thea enjoying their cruise in the tube.





Drew and Elijah having as much fun, though Elijah seems to be enjoying it more in the picture.

Then I talked David into getting on with me, we laughed so hard our faces hurt. I looked at David and said "should we be doing this, we are 35 years old now and not as limber as we used to be". My dad seemed to be enjoying it a little too much, swerving and getting us outside the wake within seconds of me shouting "Hit It". It was good laughs for all.


.the real test came... falling! We got up and laughed some more, kissed and called it a day.

My man, handsome as ever!
