The Jenson Halloween Party!



Bobbing for APPLES!

Cousins!

Just LOOK at these 2!


All dressed up!

On Saturday we had the the Jenson annual Halloween party. Almost everyone dressed up and we saw some great costumes. We bobbed for apples, had a $ walk, played cupcake musical chairs, played "chubby bunny", a mystery food tasting, and the kids played guess the ghost. Rob's whole family attended with the exception of his oldest brother and his family. We missed seeing Steve, Em, and the girls. It is always lots of fun when we get together. There is always lots of laughs and it wouldn't be normal if there wasn't a little bit of arguing as well (sorry Jess... for my husbands behavior). We sure LOVE the times we spend together.

What Happens When A 6 Year Old Figures Out the Video Setting on Your Camera!

I was deleting pictures off my camera and found this little video. Gillyin figured out how to video on our camera. I found it and had to laugh! I thought I would share it. She must have figured out how to STOP recording!

Our Trip!

Our trip to Cancun was so much FUN! We got to see and do so many GREAT things! I am so glad that we got to go. The weather was beautiful and we went with some wonderful friends!



Our view from the balcony of our room!

Rob on the beach!

All of us at Chichen Itza.
We were able to attend church on Sunday. It was

a lot of fun getting to spend time with all of the sweet

people! They were so excited to see us.




Just a little video of the ocean!

Are We EXCITED Yet?

Here I am when I really should be getting A LOT of things done. We are leaving early Thursday morning to go to Cancun. I know I should be ecstatic. I am not...at least at the moment. Getting ready to go is sooooo much work. And there is so much that I can't do until the last minute. Rob's sister is coming to stay with the kids while we go...thanks Heid...and I want to make sure she will still love us when it is all over, sooooo I still need to make sure everything is in order for her. Laundry done, pantry and fridge stocked, etc. Not to mention, what do I pack to take? Being 6 months pregnant and headed off to a semi-exotic destination...ummmm....pretty sure I am gonna look HOT in a bathing suit! AHHHH! I guess it gives me an excuse not to be in shape, right? Don't get me wrong I am grateful for this vacation...I am looking forward to spending time with my husband. 6 days of just the 2 of us. Those chances are few and far between. We will get to have conversations without being interrupted by fighting, crying, whining, phone calls, oh and fighting! It will be good to have this time to ourselves. Saying all that I am sure our conversations will consist of, "I wonder what the kids are doing", "Heston did the cutest thing the other day", "Isn't funny when Fisher talks about how scary everything is?", and "Gilly would love to be here with us!"..."What would we do without the kids?". I know that Thursday when we are in the air and on our way I am sure I can start to relax and I am positive that I will enjoy it ALL! I will definitely need a vacation after stressing over it! I know I will eventually get everything done and that everything will be fine...getting there is unbelievable though. Who would have thought. Deep down I am excited. The excitement just hasn't surficed yet. I am sure I will have some great memories and pictures to share with everyone. We will share it all in about 10 days.

FINALLY!!!

Well, it has only been 5 months, but we got our computer fixed! Ha-Ray! I will try to be better at all of this now. I have now learned how important it is to save your pictures and other important things on to a disc. Live and Learn.
We have been busy. I thought that things would slow down a little when school started, but I think they just got busier. It is wonderful to be back on a schedule though. Gillyin is enjoying the first grade and has loved science. She is learning so much. Heston's pre-school experience is going great as well. He is learning and growing every day. It is hard to watch Fisher's sad face as Heston runs into school. He wants to go so badly. It is weird to think that it won't be long and it will be his turn.
Just a little up date on the fam!
