Annual Family Boating

Once again we went to Laughlin for our annual family lake trip. Not to our suprise it was 112-117 degress every day, at least some days there was a nice breeze! The boys had a blast and loved being on the lake all day long.

Gone Camping

For my birthday all I wanted was some good old fashion family time. So after asking Cathy if we could borrow her RV, and getting the yes from David we were off. Since it was so last minute in the sense of reserving an RV campsite, I literally choose Lake Cachuma by looking at a map.

To say we had a great time would be an understatement...it was a wonderful trip. The older boys loved just running wild, and Ryan loved having full run of the RV and outside. I enjoyed the nights sitting by the fire with family making our smores and roasting marshmallows. But of course I loved having some time for good conversation with just David next to the fire and drinking our wine..oh so relaxing!

Ryans 1 Year Pictures

Well we just got back Ryan's One Year Pictures...and isn't he the cutest little one you have ever laid you eyes one. We could possibly be a little biases, but who cares.

Fishing with the Guys

This past week David went on a Guys trip to Mammoth. Since David is not the "fishing" type this was a totally new experience for him. He went with our good friend Dana and his friends and family. As you can see it was very pretty and he did catch a few fish! I think he may have smoked more cigars than he caught fish to be honest though!

Mothers Day at the Beach

Today was a great Mothers Day! We rode our bikes down to the Pier and enjoyed lunch while listening to some live oldies band. The boys had a blast and loved the freezing cold beach water. The best part was there was no nagging about being tired on the ride home! A fun and relaxing day for us all.

Happy Mothers Day to all!

Mommy and Me Day

Today was "Mommy and Me day" at Bryce and Drew's school. Being that I could not be in 2 places at once, Nana went to Drew's for me (Thank-you Mom). It was a wonderful day for Bryce and I, it was some much needed alone time for us both. He was so happy and excited to show me everything and to play with me on all his toys. At the end, the kids gave us a little box for "my money or rings" as Bryce had said. It is so beautiful, painted with pink paint with cute buttons on it, definitely a keeper!

An overall wonderful day, as I was able to make it to the end of Drew's also, were he gave me a book about myself! Both funny and sweet!

Thank-you Boys for a great day!

Ryan Turns One!

Well this past year has been nothing short than amazing. We had some life changing decisions and by far the best one was to have this little rascal! Being born 8 weeks early has not slowed him down at all. He is taking about 6-10 steps on his own, then gets so happy he falls. He is still on the growth charts, may it be on the little side, he still is on the charts at least!

Thank-you to all our family and friends for your help and support throughout this year. We are so blessed.

Love,

The Jensen's
