Merry Christmas!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! The Holidays have flown by faster than I had hoped. I had planned on getting Christmas cards sent out, but with these four small boys taking up every minute of my day, I will just be thankful for technology that at least helps me to send our love to our family and friends before Christmas (with 49 minutes to spare). 2010 has brought many great memories for our family. On February 22nd Jacob Ryan Jensen was born (on Grandpa Lindsey's birthday). He has been a happy baby and a joy in our lives. We are hoping that as he gets older he will develop a love for sleeping, and not enjoy waking up every hour of the night. Jacob loves his big brothers, loves exploring, climbing up and down the stairs, and being held. Joey (3) is always trying to keep up with his older brothers. He learned how to ride a two wheeler last summer before he was even three years old. Joey loves to swim, and is excited to take swimming lessons this summer. Joey is doing on on-line preschool, and loves to learn. He can write his name, and is learning to draw. Joey is great at reminding us to read the scriptures everyday. He loves Nursery, his friends, and bubble gum. Danny (5) is in a co-op preschool that we started with other boys his age in the neighborhood. Danny took swimming lessons this past summer, and loves to ride his bike. He got a Nintendo DS for his birthday and loves to play video games with Davy. Davy (6) is in first grade. He is a great reader and loves to read "magic tree house", and "Pokemon" books. He loves playing his Nintendo Ds, having sleepovers with his cousins and aunts, drawing, and playing Legos. Davy is in Choir, and writing club at school, and has started his own Lego club with several friends in the neighborhood. Liz (29 forever) enjoys being MOM. She is working one day a week at Allstate, and the boys enjoy spending time with Grandma on those days. Her hobbies now days are Cooking, cleaning, and chasing boys (her own boys that is). She is the Primary Secretary in our ward at church, and teaches Danny's preschool. Ryan has kept busy with his Cabinet business. He has enjoyed building many beautiful kitchens this year, and has been blessed with work through the whole year. Last August Ryan installed a kitchen that he built for someone in California. We all went with him, and spent the week at the beach, Lego Land, and Disneyland. Ryan stays active playing Basketball 3 nights a week on the city league team, and with our church team. He also coaches the Young Men's basketball team. When he is not playing basketball, or working, Ryan enjoys hunting. He went hunting several times this year. We all went with him in August on the Archery Hunt, and he took Danny on the rifle hunt for Danny's birthday. We have enjoyed the many memories we have made together this year as a family as we were able to go camping, to California, and to Nevada to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with the whole Lindsey family (all 50 of them) We are so thankful for the health that our family has been blessed with this year, and the many blessings that our Heavenly Father has given to us. We pray for our Family and Friends, and are grateful for the blessing that you are to us. We love you, and wish you a very Merry Christmas. With Love, The Jensen Family

Merry Christmas!
Liz, I need to come out to your place & see your rascals.
I appreciate the invite to stay at your house while I was homeless. I am bummed that I didn't make it out there but it was away easier staying close to SLC while I house hunted & it was a treat to spend time with grams.
Let me know if you you ever need a getaway & I'd be happy to babysit.
Merry Christmas.
See you soooon.
