Sledding Adventures

We went sledding on Christmas day and then again a few days after Christmas when it snowed a bunch. We braved the chilly temperatures and decided to sled! :) It was SO cold but SO fun!

The second day we went sledding we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's farm and used the four wheeler to pull a couple of sleds around. The girls were pretty cold with the bitter wind and low temperatures so they didn't last too long. Grandma Jensen was ready for us and had delicious hot chocolate and cookies waiting for us so we could warm up after awhile. We took a little break and then some of us headed out again.

Four wheeler, then big wooden sled connected by a chain, then tube connected to sled by rope, then small sled being held by person on the tube. Haha. It was ridiculous. We were all laughing so dang hard! This was the best picture I could get!

Thank goodness Grandma and Grandpa Jensen had a warm fire to warm up by! I love their rosy cheeks and noses!

We stayed over at the farm for almost 3 hours and then headed home. We warmed up a bit at mom and dads and then a few of us headed over to the junior high to do some more sledding on a hill. It was SO DANG COLD. The wind was so bitter! But we still had a good time :) Ava loved going down the hill by herself. She was super good! I think she fell off her sled way less than anyone else.

This is my "oh my goodness its so cold I cant even breathe face."

This was the last day we all had together before most of us had to head back to our real lives of work and school. It was a great way to end a fabulous week of fun.

Until next time...

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs. -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations. We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far. Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb. I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :) It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night, church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home. GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!! The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
