Kacee went to Homecoming!!!

Kacee is in student council and needed to be at Homecoming....so a few of her friends that aren't 16 yet got together and went. They got ready here at our house and ate dinner together then went to the dance. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the dating to start in about 1 1/2 months...

Here they are getting ready...

Here are the girls all ready and really can't wait till they are 16 and can add the boys to pictures....

They looked beautiful and had a great time.....

BYU FOOTBALL CAME TO TOWN.....

We were so excited to get tickets for the Air Force v BYU game. The kids had never been to a BYU game and were all dressed in their BYU shirts and ready to go to cheer on their favorite team.

It was a beautiful day even if BYU lost the game. The half time show honored all the men and women that have and are serving our country. I'm so thankful for them and the work they do so unselfishly. After the game our friends came over for dinner and fun.

SURPRISE TRIP!!!

Kurt & I have always wanted to go to Mt.Rushmore so when you only live 7hrs away why not go. Right?

We told the kids after church to pack an overnight bag and we were off. As we were driving into Denver we called Auntie Heather and picked her up.

Mt. Rushmore is an amazing place. Everyone should take their families there. Pictures just don't do it justice...

Towards the end of the pathway you come up on a bldg that had the tools and stuff that the workers used. There was a park worker in there that talked about why the work stopped and how the mountain was suppose to look had they been able to finish it.

It was a great trip. We all are still talking about it and can't wait to go back. There is so much up in that area to do.

We are soooo excited!!

We are so excited for my brother Brian & snl Laci. The biggest Congrats to them and their cute family. The newest addition came to join their family yesterday. I get a little wet in the eyes just thinking about it. I'm dying to see him and wishing we lived so much closer. I'm so thankful for eternal families. It truely is a miracle when a new life is brought into this crazy world.
We love you - Brian & Laci!!! Congrats and hope everyone is adjusting well. Give that new little guy the biggest kisses and hugs for all of us.

COUNT DOWN.....

10 days and counting till we leave for Mesa. We can't wait to go camping with family at the property and be back in our trailor. Then down to Mesa for some fast paced visits with friends and family. Lots of swimming, haircuts with our favorite hair dresser, and lots of visits to our favorite MEXICAN FOOD places. Can't wait for some good Mexican food. Oh how I miss good chips and Salsa.
Can't wait to see you all in Hot AZ.

Things never change...

So, it's Sunday night and Kacee decided that we should watch Julie and Julia with her. Especially since I haven't seen it yet. And, I've really wanted to see it.
The part that never changes....is that Kacee has climbed up inbetween Kurt and I in bed to watch the movie. It's just like when she was little. I miss those days sometimes.

Happy Mother's Day

For Mother's Day we decided to fly Kurt's mom in to visit us. She has missed the kids and wanted to see where we moved to. We were so excited to have her come. The kids took her hiking and to Garden of the Gods. She also got to be here for the Dance Festival that the youth in our stake put on. They did a great job. And Grandma loved watching Kacee & Eric dance in it.

We loved having Grandma Jensen visit and really miss her and PaPa Bear.

Time flies...

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I posted last. I really need to do alot of updating on our families events. Lots has happened. So, I guess it's time to start updating our blog again. Updates are coming soon......
