FHE with Annie

Monday night we were lucky enough to have Annie for family night. The kid is so fun to have around. Josh loves having someone follow him around.

For dinner Annie ended up having a bowl of chips and about a half bottle of pepper that she sprinkled on the chips. I couldn't believe she ate the chips.

After dinner Josh and Annie headed out into the rain for a little fun.

James had zero desire to play outside with these two. Josh and Annie are two peas in a pod.

Annie was shaking the whole time, but she kept up with Josh. After a warm bath Mike and Jamie showed up and our entertainment left.

Spring Break

Spring Break takes on a whole new meaning with kids. This year we headed to St. George with the parents. This was the first trip with 3 kids. HOLY COW!!! So much work. Maybe I went into this third kid idea blind, but I really think that it doubles the work. So good bye a spring break with some R & R.

It really was nice to get away and be in warmer weather. Could have been alot better, but with sunshine and blue skies the temps were bearable. The kiddos, Mom and I headed down Tuesday afternoon. The first thing to do once out of the car and unpack is swimming.

Jackson's first adventure in the pool. I don't think he knew what to think.
This kid can not get enough. He would swim for sun up to sun down if he could. Even swimmers ear didn't slow him down much.

This has to be one of my all time favorite pictures. We stopped at target for the coke on sale. It was only 10 to a customer and we walked out with 20 12pks of coke product.

I have to say that we hit Target again for another round of coke product a few days later. Over doing it??? With more than half the Jensens addicited those boxes will be gone in no time. Our family alone could keep Coke in business.

Nothing better than Thursday morning when Grandpa and Jen showed up with Adien and Andrew. These boys get together and it is not stop movement. I love watching them all interact.

Soaking in the sun!!

Self proplled boat

The boys playing dead. Looks like alot of fun.

A night with all the kids while Trant and Amy went to dinner. To bad we couldn't get Oakley to look.

This was Jackson's make-shift bed in the closet. It worked out rather nice.

Brooke is getting ready for everyone to go on a Easter Egg Hunt. Preschool material!!

We did an Easter Egg Hunt Saturday while all the men went to Priesthood.

All the kiddos lined up. I think Morgan night have been a little confused as to what was taking place.

James took this picture for us. It turned out Ok. We missed having Jamie and Jill. Maybe next time. We are so lucky that we now have Candice in our family. Our family has been so lucky to get such AMAZING in-laws. Amy and Candice are just like our sisters. Lots of fun, but I am sure I know need a vacation after my vacation.

Exercise..Bentley Style

I am not sure where Josh gets his role model for exercising......

alittle stair stepping and a bag full of Reese's pieces.

A perfect way to get through the workout.

Too Many Boys??

There is nothing better than when your baby starts to smile at you. this boy could have won a gold medal in the Olympics and I think I would be equally excited. I just love that there is that recognition. So while basking in the fabulous talent that is smiling with my little guy (sorry to say some time had past), this was where I found my other guy........

Yes, that's right. Josh has taken to the corner behind Jackson's crib. I guess we have a Harry Potter vs. Dudley case on our hands. I was so excited about the smiles and Josh crawls in the corner. I can honestly say I am not really sure where James was while all this was going on. I guess we can go ahead and cross my name off the "Mother of the Year".
A few things I learned.....
1. I might need to give all my boys some attention
2. Not enough Mom to go around
3. If Josh has some emotional scaring and is in therapy, I am sure this picture could answer alot of questions.
4. Can't get enough of my little guy's smile

Testing...1, 2, 3

Last Friday was Jackson's 2 week check-up with the Dr. (grandpa). Frank found a heart mummer and was not overly concerned, but thought it was something that needs to be address with a cardiologist up at Primary Children's. Frank was able to get us in and today was the day for our visit. Lots of test were in front of us for the afternoon, but our little guy was ready and was an ideal patient.

Check out my calm little guy will getting an EKG test done. However he did get upset when the nurse pulled the little round stickers off his chest. I was also upset with her.
Checking out his surroundings. Our little Jackson got the name, "the worlds best baby" through all the tests he was put through.

Our little guy went right to sleep has they started the Echo (Ultrasound) on his heart. With all the slim and moving him around for an hour the kid just slept and took it all in. I am sure it helped to be wrapped in warm blankets. The boy was a champ!!!! The best part of the day was the heart mummer is small and is very likely to close on its own has he grows. We will have to have check -ups with the Cardio Dr. about every 6 months for awhile.
What an amazing blessing it is to live in a time when good medical care is available.

This was a guys reward for such good behavior during our long afternoon at Primary Children's. The boy got to cuddle with our own "Nanny Mcphee". Nothing better than a nap with the one you love.

After a nap with Brooke, it was time for a bath. Our little guy loves them.

It was a long afternoon, but are very grateful for the test outcome. Thanks once again to our own "Nanny Mcphee" for taking care of things on the home front.

Family Tree

I couldn't believe it when I hear the news, but Jackson is Grandma Judkins #89 Great-Grandchild. HOLY COW!!!! I almost fell off the couch. What an amazing family Grandma has, and she enjoys watching it continue to grow.

Jenny's Photography

My sister Jenny came over the other night and took some pictures of Jackson. They turned out amazing. She did such a good job and has such a creative way of taking pictures.
