CLARK IS 2!!

Our little baby is now 2 years old! Clark is a great kid. He loves to laugh and play. He loves to cuddle. He is not always very soft with others. Clark loves balls, playing outside, Batman, animals (especially dogs), any kind of "sword", stuffed animals, dressing up (shoes are his favorite), brushing his teeth, and did I mention Batman. He loves his older siblings and always wants to play with them. He loves his aunt Anne and anything from her has extra value. Clark loves to go out and do anything and everything. He talks a lot and can almost always get his message across. He love going to nursery on Sunday, his teachers love him and say he is SOOO good in class. Clark likes to put nice clothes and do his hair and be told he his handsome. We love our little Clark and are so grateful to have him in our family!

Aunt Julie did a perfect job on Clark's cake. It was the perfect combination of two of his favorite things and he REALLY liked it!

We had so much fun celebrating Clark's birthday with our family at Grandpa and Grandma Jensen's. It was great to watch as he really understood what presents were, that he got to open them, that inside were things for him. Clark is a wonderful little man and we love him.

Collette is 4!

Collette turned 4 on Feb. 5th. She has been planing her cake with aunt Julie for months now and was very excited to see it. Julie did a great job and Collette LOVED it.

Collette is all princess, in so many ways. She loves to dress up, do her hair, paint her nails, and in general look beautiful. Collette also believes that she should be in charge of every one and that they should all do her bidding. She is very helpful and is happy to do things for others. She loves her brothers and sister and often tells them "you are my best friend". Collette loves her cousins and is always excited to spend time with them. She is very determined and when she sets her mind to something it is hard to change it. She love to dance and sing. Collette loves to watch movies and can tell you details you would not expect from a 4 year old. She is and always will be my baby with the beautiful hair and we all love her very much!

Kelly's Kreations

A friend of mine has a new site featuring her BEAUTIFUL jewelry and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Kelly's Kreations Are so wonderful, very classy and high quality. They are great gifts for every occasion or for that matter why wait for an occasion :) Take a look and see all the great stuff she has.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas!

Opening gifts was so fun. Clark really understood this year and was so cute to watch !Collette is all princess and she felt very royal with a new dress up dress, shoes, crown & jewelry!Sarah added to her LARGE collection of porcelain dolls.

Kevin loves to play football with the guys at school and daddy found him this new ball. It was a good thing the BYU vs UTAH game was a bit ago he is so "BLUE" that he would not even wear red after that.

In the afternoon we all went over to Jensen's again and had tons of fun playing together and just hanging out.

Colbys brought their new Wii and every one played (when they could get the daddies to share).

Clark and Ben even got in on the electronics and shared some tunes on the Ipod.

Grandma is always there when a sleepy head needs to cuddle, and to take care of every ones needs and wants.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we all got together at Grandpa and Grandma Jensen's house. Grandpa read about the birth of Christ from Luke, we also read a story about Grandpa Kaye when he was in WWII and he sought to keep the spirit with him (thanks Ami). Then some people shared their testimonies of the savior and his gospel. It was a special evening. Grandma made PJ's for the grand kids and they all got to open them and put them on. They all looked really cute!

We have a great family and feel very blessed to have so many close to us and a part our daily lives.

Getting 9 kids to all look the same place is NOT easy!

Getting Ready

We have had a wonderful time with all the pre-Christmas fun. Kevin spent a Sat. putting up lights on our house and bushes. For some one who "enjoys" heights as much as Kevin this was a really event. Not only did he climb up on our home he also helped a neighbor do his also.

We put up our Christmas tree and all the kids help decorate (and undecorate - Clark). We even made some popcorn strings but Sarah was the only one with enough patience to finish hers.

In years past we have hung our stockings on our banister but we now have too many to fit there. Joy made a new stocking hanger and new stockings for our family.
We have loved all the fun reminders of the fun that we share this time of year. We are very blessed to have a warm home, food to fill us, healthy bodies, wonderful friends and family and the cornerstone to all that - a loving Heavenly Father and the gospel of his only begotten son Jesus Christ.

SNOW DAY!

We had to wait a long time but we finally got our first real snow. Collette and Clark were so excited to play in the snow. Collette has been waiting since it first started getting cold to build a snow man "with a carrot nose". So we plays and had tons of fun on a beautiful sunny morning in the snow!
