Summer Fun with the Jensen's

I'm pretty sure this can get confusing..."summer fun with the Jensen's"...which Jensen's?  Because there are so many possibilities of who they could be...I'll show you! :D

Paul's aunt and cousin were in town this summer visiting family.  We spent a few nights with them and also with Devin, Sandy and their family.  Glenn loves his cousins!  He knows their names and loves being and playing with them.

Jannine. Eden. Davis. Camille. Glenn.

Summer Rain

 

 Don't you just love the summer rain?  We had a pretty wet summer and Glenn loved the rain.  I let him run out in it and play because...that's what you do!

Our personal groomer

 Glenn likes to get out the clippers and the tweezers and groom us.  I guess he figures that if we clip his nails, etc. that he gets to do it to us!  What a goof!

Ensign Peak

 Back in July around Pioneer Day I took my Mia Maid class to hike Ensign Peak.

Sprinkler Time!

"Ready?"  

"Set. Go!"

Glenn and Glenn

Back in July my Grandpa Jensen fell in his back yard and had some serious head injuries from it.  Paul, Glenn and I visited him a couple of times while he was in the hospital.  The last time we did, he got some good news: he could eat some solid foods again, and that he would be admitted to a physical therapy clinic and released from the hospital the next day.  

Ian and Sean

At least once a month Paul, Glenn and I go over to Ian and Sean's house to watch them for the night.  We have had a lot of fun playing with them, watching them grow up, and having them be a "big brother" to Glenn.  Here are some recent pictures we took while playing with them.

High Heels

Glenn may be embarrassed of this pictures in a few years, but we thought they were pretty funny!

Devin and Glenn

Back in June we had a couple of garage sales.  My dad and Kirsta and her kids came down to help--they had brought their stuff down to sell as well.  One of the days, Dad brought down some Krispy Kreme donuts--yum!

 

Visits to the Thibault's

Since Paul has been unemployed, we have taken the opportunity to visit with my Thibault grandparents.  We have been recording stories and memories from their lives, and have really enjoyed doing so.

Yard Work

We have been doing a lot of yard work lately.  Our poor flower beds have become so overgrown and full of weeds.  Our lawn has yellow patches and other parts had grown so long.  It was time for a change!  So I got the shovel and started digging and Paul got the lawn mower and started mowing.  Glenn wanted to help too.

Weekend Trip to Idaho

The last week of August we headed up to Idaho to attend the baby blessing of Allen's new little girl, Mia Catherine. 

We got there Saturday evening and had time before we were all meeting for dinner at Applebee's.  We found a local park so Glenn could get out and play.  They had a free water park--kind of like the place we went for Glenn's birthday. 

The Theater, the Theater

"The theater, the theater.  What's happened to the theater?"

Can you name that movie?

Not a Baby Anymore

I was reorganizing--surprise, I know!--in the basement and putting things away in the basement bedroom closet.  Glenn was helping me, and found some things that used to be his.

He is definitely not a baby anymore!

Glenn's Chore

The other day I started to unload the dishwasher.  Glenn handed me a few plates and bowls, but those went up high so he couldn't put them away.  I then asked if he wanted to help with something else.  He went down the hall, grabbed his little step stool and brought it back to the kitchen.  He set it up right near the dishwasher and right by the silverware drawer. 

 

Phone Call to Brazil

A couple of weeks ago, Paul had the opportunity to speak to a family he taught while on his mission.  Thanks to Google Chat, it was really affordable.  He talked for 5 1/2 hours, I think!  And it didn't cost us very much.  It was really fun to listen to him speaking Portuguese.  

Sirie Moved :(

We had the opportunity to house Sirie with us for the Spring and Summer terms.  She took classes and worked 20 hours a week, so we didn't get to see her as often as we would've liked.  But we still had a good time with her when she was around. 

Happy Four Years!

A week after Glenn's birthday, we celebrated four years of marriage.  

Happy Second Birthday, Glenn!

Glenn turned 2 at the beginning of August. 

That morning I got Glenn some breakfast and Paul decorated a cake for Glenn.

 

Free Bowling

July 30-August 6 was National Bowling Week.  They ended that week with a World Record Day--hoping to get as many people out bowling as they could.  I don't think this was widely publicized, but I knew about it! ;)  I was able to print off 3 free games coupons, so we went bowling!
