I'm a proud Aunt!! :D

So I have the cutest nephew ever and I have to show him off!! Normally, Lincoln does not like to look at the camera when in a picture, but his clever parents found a way to get him to do it. They simply asked him to show off his teeth and voila!! He smiles and looks at the camera!! Yay! Check out my adorable nephew and his cute parents!

Thanksgiving and Tree Decorating!

Tyler and I were fortunate enough to enjoy two Thanksgiving dinners. The Tebbs (my cousins) invited us to their big dinner held at a church with all their side of the family. This is always so much fun! They are such a happy, fun, and lovable family! And the food was delicious! AND! They had my favorite, Banana Cream Pie!!! yummmm!

After dinner Dad Jensen took me, Ty, Jenn, Bruce, and Mom Jensen to see Bolt 3D!! It was really cute and very clever! We all enjoyed the movie. Mom Jensen was cracking up at some parts (for some of you that don't know her, she screams and cries when she gets laughing too hard, this is extremely funny to watch while at a movie theater). haha. So that was fun. :)

Then on Sunday we had another Thanksgiving over at Mom and Dad Jensen's house. Mom cooked up some delicious food and Ty and I cut the turkey, cranberries, made a cheeseball, and set up the rolls all fancy. Mom made her delicious mashed potatoes and gravy, and yummy to everyone but me, stuffing. Everything tasted fabulous. Then Mom gave out her yummy pies. We had Grandma's nephew over with his wife and he played some guitar and sang for us from some of the shows he's written. I told Tyler he reminded me of Johnny Cash. :) It was very entertaining.

And then this week while I was busy doing homework Tyler surprised me with a Christmas Tree!!!! :D :D :D And it's REAL!!!! Yay, I can continue on my never having a fake tree my whole life!!! :D It's about 6ft tall and smells sooooooo good! :D So we got into the Christmas spirit and made a run to our favorite store Dollartree and started gathering Christmas decorations! Ty put up some lights along our stairs, and they look so cute! And we have a cute little Christmas Tree with presents and lights on our kitchen table and I just need to take pictures. :) Our tree is decorated all except for a star so this is what it looks like right now. But I'll get more up. And Thanks to our awesome neighbors the Knapps, we were able to trim the bottom of the tree with their saw. We don't have one so Ty used a steak knife, bread knife, pocket knife, and an electric drill. It took FOREVER! Then I convinced Ty for us to ask for some help and the Knapps had just what we needed! Thanks Kellie and Rich! ha

Oh, and I can't forget. I went out to eat with some ladies in our ward for the super friendly, awesome, bubbly, hilarious, fun, and very outgoing Kellie Knapp's birthday. We went to Chili's and then to Cold Stone. Very fun! It's nice to have some girls to hang out with. :)

Well, I've got to head off to work but I'll for sure get some more pictures of our Christmas Decor up soon!!! Thanks all for reading! Happy Holidays!!! :D :D

Hitler Reacts to BYU loss

So our good friend Brad Rhees shared this video with us. He is probably one of the biggest BYU fans ever, but this is still pretty dang funny. P.S. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE AND IT IS ALL FOR FUN! :) Enjoy!!

TWILIGHT!!!

So Tyler surprised me with two tickets to the midnight showing of Twilight. I've read all the books and have been anxiously awaiting the movie. So Thursday night we left to the movie theater at 9:30pm. Luckily we didn't have to wait on the floor for two and a half hours like a lot of people. Our theater was open so they let us go in and sit in the nice recliner seats. :) We got perfect seats and preoccupied ourselves by having Tetris tournaments on my cell phone. :) Tyler felt a bit out of place since he was definitely in the minority with the rest of the male population in the theater. :) What a sweet husband. :)

Of course when the movie started there were tons of screams and giggles. Tyler made it a point to count how many of those there were throughout the movie. :) Well, we both enjoyed it. Of course for me I felt the books were so much better, but I still enjoyed the movie. I, like the rest of the women in the world, thought that the Edward they chose was not even close to what he should have looked like, but as the movie went on he grew on me and by the end I thought he did a very good job. Tyler went in expecting a stupid cheesie chick flick and so he was pleasantly surprised at how much action and suspense was in the movie. He went in with very low expectations and walked out thinking it was a pretty good movie. :) yay!

We went home tired and not excited for morning to come. Ty had to be at school at 7:30am and I had my last day of three weeks teaching 4th grade. We made it through and yes, it was worth it. :) I definitely want to see it again, and preferably when I am more awake. :)

I Could Have Danced All Night....

So this weekend we went to the UVU Institute Dance!!! It was my first institute dance ever! ha, and we're married... Yup, we went as the example of what is supposed to come of these dances. :) Go us!
A few of our single friends were going and invited us to come along, and how could we turn down free food and a good time with our friends? ha! We did have fun though and here are some pictures to prove it!! It's always fun getting all dressed up fancy!! :D

What I'm Grateful For

So I was thinking today about my sweetheart and thought I'd post a few thoughts of mine. I am so grateful for my husband. He is so patient and so kind to me. I've had a bit of an emotional week and he has held me close everyday and has assured me that everything is going to be okay. He is such a good listener and lets me tell him what's on my mind even if it's at 3 in the morning. He'll listen and hold me and then say something so adorable that I just can't be sad anymore. He is my angel. A family very dear to us is having a very rough time. It's hard to see a family you love so much going through so much pain. It's helped me see things that I have in my life differently. There are many things I take for granted when really I would be so miserable if they were all taken away from me. I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life. I know I have a purpose here in this life and I know who I am. There are so many people who don't know that. It breaks my heart. I have so much appreciation for the missionaries that go all over the world to share the truth to these people. I hope we are all praying for the missionaries and for the people who are searching for truth and for happiness. I know I need to remember to do this more often. They need our prayers. We all need each other's prayers. :)
Anyways, I am just so grateful for what I have and know, and for my sweet husband. Life can be hard, but it's so worth it when you have the support of a loving companion. We love you all! Thank you so much for your friendship and love. And we hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving month!!!! :) Life is good!

Hacky Sac :)

So pretty much we are bringing hacky sac back. It's pretty fun. We finally got a video of half of us...the boys. But Dot and I can pretty well keep up with them. We'll have to get them to film us. :) Anyways, enjoy. :)

HALLOWEEN FUN!!!!

Hello Everybody!!
We hope you had a fun and spooky Halloween!! We spent ours by Goblin Valley!!!! Perfect place for Halloween I know! :) We left Friday afternoon with Mike and his girlfriend Dot. We didn't get to there until after dark and we were hungry, had no firewood, and couldn't see much. We finally found the perfect camping spot and unloaded the car. Then Dot and I pitched the tent and set up camp while the boys went in search for firewood. When they got back this is what we saw...it was so funny!!!
All they could find were a bunch of small branches and twigs. But they worked!! :) Dot and I put the tinfoil dinners in the on the coals and we were on our way to a yummy dinner! mmmm... When we woke up in the morning we got to see how awesome our campsite really was!
So then we went on a hike through Little Wildhorse Canyon. This was so cool!!! We would hike up the walls, which was a lot easier than hiking back down...ha. We had some good teamwork going to help us all be safe on our adventures. :)








After our 8 mile hike, Tyler and Mike decided to go on a more skillful hike.





That night we ate dutch oven pizzas and were so exhausted that we went to bed at 8:00pm and talked until we fell asleep.
Then the next morning we packed up camp and headed to Goblin Valley. We only spent about 45 minutes there because we got rained out. :( But we still had fun!!! :) Here are a few pictures of our adventures there.










Well, that was our trip. We sure had a blast!!! Oh, and I almost forgot!!! A few days before we carved some pumpkins!! Tyler made his famous SKI pumpkin, and I made a skull out of my skull-shaped pumpkin. Here are some pictures!!!
