Visiting the Rowe's

On our drive home from Utah we stopped in Flagstaff to see our friends from Optometry school. Justin and Lucinda were wonderful friends. I have so many fond memories of our time with them. Sydney loved playing with Jeron and Alena back in the old days and they took no time at all catching up. I was amazed at how well tey remembered each other. Sydney even informed me that Jeron still wanted to marry her and was going to give her 4 wedding rings. So she recommitted to the proposal, I think the 4 rings sold her. Layton was not even 18 months when they moved for their clinical rotations but he jumped right in the play and thought Jeron was so cool. Poor Jackson got sick and threw up at their house and slep most the whole time we were there. We loved the visit and stayed 3 hours longer than we had planned to stay but it was just too much fun catching up. I hope we will get a chance to stop and see them again sometime.

Double the Blessings!

This was such a wonderful day. I am so glad we were able to share it with family. We had a tough time deciding whether to bless the girls in UT or OK. We were concerned about making it too big of a deal and our family having to travel the long distance to Hatch. So hopefully it wasn't too much trouble for everyone. I really enjoyed sharing this special occasion with them. There is just something special about gathering family together. I love it!!
Tyler also did such a wonderful job giving Kinsley and Madison beautiful and unique blessing to each. I was also blessed to have help with my kiddos thanks to grandma and grandpa so I could just enjoy listening to the blessing and write them down.

Utah Trip Part 2... more to come!

After spending 1 week in Layton withmy family we traveled down south to Hatch. We were lucky enough that Ryan and Kara accomodated us in the plans for the Barney Fam reunion this year and planned it for the weekend we would be around. We are so glad tey did. It was a lot of fun and we camped just a few miles away from Tylers parents house, which was really nice because trying to get sleep with 3 month old twins can be tough enough without sleeping ina tent, so Jenny and I headed back to house to sleep with our babies in a nice comfy bed. It was so fun thought to watch the kids play with theor cousins and get nice and dirty. Grandma Terry was so cute and sweet and planned a few crafts the kids to do which they loved!!!! They made purses/wallets, little "stain glass" pictures, and cute litle bug catchers. Sydney loved playing with the girls, Jackson loved just being with Dada in the dirt and
Layton loved following around Stuart and Dallin around and they were so nice to let him tag along. He thought they were the coolest! They got together and built a teepee and when all the girls saw how cool it was they told te boys that they could be in their club. I thought that was so funny! It was lots of fun. Although Tyler and I both agreed that it is really hard to sit down realx and really visit with 5 kids.



I just had to capture. Andra was playing with her hosre and th table and Layton just walked up behind her, stood right behind her and put his arms around her and played right with her. Isn't that so cute. Really thought how could he resist Andra with her long eyelashes and tose cute curly locks! I love this picture.

The coveted Teepee.

Utah Trip Part 1

We had a wondeful time in Utah and LOVED every minute we spent there. We have been home for a few weeks now and I am just now getting to posting. I think I have a new meaning for FULL-time stay at home mom. I decided to stay up late to post this I never seem to be able to get to it during the day.Now I am wondering why on earth I didn't stay longer with the kids. They had so much fun playing with their cousins and I had so much fun spending time with everyone. It really wasn't enough time as usual.
But we did have fun!
These pics are at the Dinosaur Park up Ogden Canyon. The kids had a blast!! WE also went up to Park ity for a few days and stayed ther with my parents and brother Charlie. But mostly just hung out and played, which is what I really enjoyed the most!!





The 3 newest additions to the Jensen fam.Kinsley, Caleb, and Madison. Too bad little Emerson hadn't arrived yet. I would have loved to get a pic of all the babies together.
We were lucky enough to be able to be there when Caleb was blessed. I forgot my camera. He looked so sweet all in white and received a wonderful blessing from his Dad.

3 months old!!

Time has really flown by. This picture was taken before our trip to Utah. At 3 months te girls were just staring to smile. Howeverwhile wew were in Utah they got so they smiled alot more and even started finding their sweet little voices. Ilove hearing their little baby talk.

The Results Are In!!!!

As many of you already know, we kept guessing as to whather our twin girls were identical or not. They look alot alike, but the only real way of knowing is testing their DNA, which is expensive. However Tylers brother Ryan has expertise in genetics and works in crime labs sohe said he could test our girls to find out. We were so excited, we got some swabs from Ty's work and got samples from each of their cheeks and made sure to label them to keep them straight, and sent them off to Ryan.
We just got the results back and.....


... they are IDENTICAL! It is so fun to know!! Thanks Ryan!

Sydney's Gymnastic Recital

On Tuesday our little gymnast showed us her stuff. It was so much fun to watch her show us her talent she has been working on with her friends. She really enjoys gymnastics and we LOVE watching her. Which we actually got to do because we had our friends The Walkers watch the twins and we took Layton and Jackson. Tyler and I were joking that a couple months ago we would't have considered goign out with 3 kids a break, but now we do! It's all about perspective. Anyway it was an fun night!
