Pumpkin Patch

Every October we take a trip to the pumpkin patch. Ever since my mom was a preschool teacher we've been taking the kids there. They always have a great time. Koen's at the age where he is so independent he NEVER wants to look at the camera. Oh well, I get some cute shots anyway.

Pictures from Canada

Before my parents left to Canada I told them to take pictures and send them to me cuz I was dying to see the kids. So here are a few of the new addition Kodie, and Kwynn.

Here's Kodie

Look at those cheeks!! I just want to kiss em. She's so cute!

Cute little Kwynners. She's getting so big!

This picture below looks like Payton. From the nose up anyway. She has the Jensen chin!

They blessed both girls today 10/12/08.

I love Kwynn's face. She's like do I HAVE to wear this? She looks so annoyed.

I'm guessing this is what my mom wanted when she sent me this pic. Since she has all the others kids feet.

Auntie

Yes I'm another aunt. Heather had her baby last night sometime in the 8 o'clock hour. A healthy little girl 6 lbs 14 oz. Not sure on a name yet but last I heard they were thinking of Kodie. Congrats Heather, Matt and Kwynn!! She's still in Canada so no cute pics yet :(

The Latest...

Here's my latest project. I love having my kids pose for my pictures. Koen is surprisingly the easiest!

Just call me TREE!

Ha ha. Payton is so funny. She started soccer yesterday, and let me tell you she did awesome! She had so much fun, and that's really all that matters. There are 2 Payton's on her team, it got kind of confusing, so after her game she told us she wanted us to call her TREE! She starts Chanting "Go Tree, Go Tree!" That's my crazy girl for ya, always keeping us laughing. At this age they pair them up and play 3 on 3. One of the girls was kind of a ball hog, so Payton didn't really get a chance. Finally the coach mixed it up a bit, so Payton could show off her mad skills :). Any way she starts dribbling the ball up the field, then just stops. She later told me "I just got so excited!" She rocks! Team name: The Pink Ballerina Bears!

Fun in Bear Lake

I'm sooo far behind! With our move and all everything has been put on hold.

We went to Bear Lake over the 24th. We always have a good time. Russ went up to work earlier in the week, and stopped to get fireworks in Evanston. As they were shooting them off, Russ decided that it would be a great idea to set one off while holding it and aiming it at the water. Meanwhile Hollie and I were walking up to the water to set off some of the small fireworks that were water proof. I was holding the box of about 100 in my hand. So anyways Russ sets his off and we ducked since the sparks flew are way, and as we're running away the box in my hand goes off. Scared the CRAP out of me!! No damage just a little pain and numbness for the next few days.

Here's a few pics of the kids playing at the beach!

Payton picking up shells

Poor Koen had a rash all over. Still so cute though.

Payton keeping her hands warm under Hollies sweater. Hollie's also pregnant, so it looks like she's holding her belly. So cute!

BUGS!

Boys and their bugs! We went to Russ' aunt and uncle's house and they found a cricket in the grass and thought it would be fun to play with. Yuck!
