Grown Up???

I just happened to turn 29 a few weeks ago...and so I have been thinking a lot lately about, well growing up! I don't feel like I am almost 30. I still feel like I just graduated from high school. I don't feel like a responsible adult. I just don't feel like a grown up!!! So what if I have 4 children, a mortgage, and mom mobile. Seriously, when will it hit me? When am I going to realize that...YES, Julia you are a grown up and from now on you will only get older! The whole age thing doesn't freak me out, but when I look in the mirror and see this gray halo at my hair line and wrinkles seem to appear daily around my eyes...that is what FREAKS me out! What on earth is happening? So am I the only one that feels like this? Am I having a whine fest or what?

The 4th!

SO I haven't blogged since Father's Day and now it is almost August. It has been a busy month. Here are some pictures of the 4th of July festivities! It was a hectic week before the 4th. I was working til at least 8 every night and had to get the float ready for the parade, but when the 4th got here it was a blast as usual!

Lovin' the GIANT sparklers!

Grandma Sheila, Griffyn and Addison

The Giant slip and slide is always a winner!

These pictures are from the 3rd! After the Children's Parade we always have the family bar-b-q at our house! Yes that is my Fireman husband bar-b-q-ING next to the house! And Kami's plate of food!

Fathers Day!

Well, it is 10:35pm. The ending of Rob's 7th year celebrating Fathers day. What a day it has been. I so wish that he would sit down and blog, but since he never will I am going to interrupt his Father's Day. I think deep down we all want those special days such as...birthdays, Valentine's, mother's day, and father's day...to be SPECIAL! Sadly those days seem to fall into the "just another day" category. Today can testify to that. He did get to sleep in and I made him a good breakfast. I just wish on these days things would just go splendidly, but kids still argue with parents, and kids still fight with each other, we still can't get to church on time, our yard still looks like we are having a yard sale, we still are a crazy family! Can't Heavenly Father make these days perfect...just so that we could let that person that is suppose to be celebrating enjoy their day? It would be nice...wouldn't it? Well, since we live in the real world no matter what day it is life is life...and LIFE happens! So Rob, I want just want to say happy father's day! You are a GREAT dad! Our kids and i LOVE you so much! I hope that you still had a special day even though it was a normal CrAzY one!

For Sale!

So our house is officially For Sale! We have talked about it a million times and now we actually decided to do it. I know this is probably not going to be an easy task, but we will see how it goes. It is kind of sad because we have LOVED our home and our neighborhood, but we have really outgrown it. We have no plans on what we will do if it sells. Hoping that we will be able to find an existing home that will suit our needs. So just a waiting game now! If you know of anyone who may be looking please visit jensonhome.blogspot for details!

Gilly turned 7!

Gillyin turned 7 on the 6th. (So very weird) She has grown up so fast. She is such a great little girl. She puts up with so much from her brothers and I feel bad because she has to be the responsible child and an example to her siblings. I think her favorite phrase is..."Ugh, this is the worst day EVER!"...even if she has had the best day ever. Such a diva. Oh, Gillyin...what is to come? I hope you had a good birthday, sis! We sure do LOVE YOU Gilly Bean!

Fisher!!!

Fisher turned 3 on the 2nd! We celebrated on the houseboat. When we asked how old he was he would say, "NOTHIN'!". I baked him a cake...which I have never done for birthdays, but there wasn't a Wal-Mart on the water. Let me just say baking in a tiny oven and not having any source of being level is my excuse for baking a slanted, slightly burnt on the bottom, chocolate fudge cake! I am glad he is 3 and not 13 or I would have never heard the end of my ghetto cake! Ithard to believe he is 3. He is such a little funny man! He is always cracking us up. I am SO thankful that he is apart of our family. WE LOVE YOU FISHERMAN!
