100 YEARS OLD

My Grandfather turned 100 Years Old January 20th.
I tried to get a picture of Kamri with Great Grandpa Jensen but she didn't like the idea...she started crying.
This is our little family (minus AJ) with my grandparents, Maxine and Grant Jensen. My Grandpa turned 100 and my grandma is 11 years younger. They still live on their own and they just barely stopped ballroom dancing. I think my grandma still goes. They travel the world still and keep on going.
This is Kamri and I at the party. I have my fat pregnant face with about 3 months to go.
This is all my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and their kids. Well it's most of us. They sent out about 250 invites to old friends and co-workers. They had a band and old pictures. It was a fun little party for a old man who can't really see or hear but he knew exactly what was going on and I think he enjoyed it all. His goal was to reach 100 years old and he has done that! Way to go Grandpa!





St. George Weekend

This is Kamri sleeping...she did well for about 2-3 hours and then I got no sleep!
We got to watch AJ play Jr. Jazz Basketball. It was good to see him play.

Andy had to run a run for the St. George Marathon Runners Series. He ran the Painters Half Marathon and 5K. He did the 5K because I have been a little selfish and not wanting him to run. So he said he was being wimpy and ran the 5K. But he ran it in 21:54 and got 2nd place in his division. That is not wimpy that is AWESOME! I don't think I will ever run a 3.1 mile race in 22 minutes. I am so proud of him for even doing it! Way to go Babe!
The kids with Andy and his little crystal award!
Here are the girls at the pool enjoying the sunshine. It was beautiful and at 65 degrees we swam everyday for a long period of time. Kamri was really funny, she would get in the hot tub then run over to the pool and do it all over again. In and out, in and out so you know what that means either Andy or I were following her back and forth, back and forth. We would take turns because that gets old real fast, but she was having a blast and that is what matters. She learned that jumping in from the pool was fun. Her favorite was being the Hot tub.
Jadyn was being a really good swimmer. She eventually took her lifevest off and was swimming under water. She is becoming a good little swimmer. If she had it her way she would have spent the entire vacation in the pool. She is my little guppy!
This face describes the fun she had going back and forth from the pool to the hot tub.
This is our beautiful Anycia. She was such a big help with Kamri and Jadyn. She made this trip a little more enjoyable.
Kamri is not the type of baby that will sit in a restaurant and eat and be good. She has to be moving and watching people. So not once did we eat at a sit down restaurant and enjoy a meal. We got McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza in our Hotel room...Oh well she might learn one day.
So we arrived Thursday and stayed until Sunday and had a grand ole time! It sure was nice to get out of the cold weather here and go somewhere warm, but then we had to come back and that wasn't so fun. I think we all enjoyed the nice warm sun and a little get a way! (McKade chose to stay with his dad and play basketball and he had fun too!)
A few interesting things happened while we were here...Kamri learned how to say Please and I love you. We were in the hot tub and there were some kids in there that had Capri Sun drink pouches. Kamri kept reaching across the Hot Tub and saying Please, Please, Please...it was so super cute. She knows if she said please she would get what she wants. I was just about ready to go up to the room and get her a juice box and the kids dad asked if she wanted one. She was so happy.
The other story that is pretty cute is on the ride home Jadyn called her dad and McKade. When she got off the phone she says "McKade is so cute!" I asked her why she said "cuz he said I love you before he got off the phone!" (They are usually never split up and I think they realize that they miss each other when they are not together.) I asked Jadyn if she thought he missed her and she said "yeah I think so!"
Our vacation was a success and we all had fun plus we got to spend a little time with AJ.

McKade and Jr. Jazz Basketball

McKade has started Jr. Jazz. He is doing a lot better this year. He actually is interested in playing rather than tormenting the other kids. He even made a shot and had been rebounding.

Funny Little Girl

I was relaxing on the couch the other day and Kamri walks over to me pulls up my shirt to see my big baby belly and blows a big raspberry on it...it was so funny. We laughed at her so she kept doing it. She is one funny little girl.

She is talking so much more now. Her vocabulary is growing everyday. She loves her Melmo slippers (Elmo) and her one toe nail is painted (by my sister Mari) and now it is called an "OUIE". I try and tell her no it is pretty but she just says "OUIE". She loves the snow especially in a cup to eat. She is lots of fun to watch grow up...plus she can't really talk back yet so that is nice.

I want to tell my family thanks for helping out over Christmas Break! It is nice to have family to help out when needed.
