Goodbye Bandit!

On his way to a new home for our puppy. It was the saddest day in our family's life so far! We sold our little puppy and all of us were an emotional wreck. We cried and wished things could be different, but we know he needed a home with older kids. It has been hard at first, but things are getting tons better and we (mommy and daddy) are glad that we have one less worry to worry about!

Having a blast tubing on the lake! All the Jensen cousins having a blast!

Jensen Family Reunion

Mason is our little Goober! What cute little brothers!

Clayton was a great fisherman and he loved trying to catch a fish. No luck this time!
Braden loves horses and loves Chester especially. Yee-Ha!
Fishing at Big Cedar! We had a big Jensen family reunion in Branson and it was Fun! Mason playing with the ever so clean fish water! Gross!!

How cute they were making a sticky mess! Alyssa is growing up so beautifully!

Scout Luau! It was a fun fundraiser for the scouts in our ward with an official roasting of the pig and all!
Mason couldn't stop eating the watermelon! Yummy!

Messy Kids!

This is what happens when you let the older kids watch the toddlers. Braden drew all over Mason face, head and body. Good thing it was washable.

Swim Team!

Alyssa getting ready for the starting gun! Kind of blury but what great form she has!
Concentrating on the next race! She is one of the top swimmers in her age.
Clayton swimming his first race, freestyle. He is the lane closest to the right hand side.
Clayton preparing himself mentally. What a great swimmer and he has improved so much.

Boating Trip

We went to Arkansas to visit friends and had fun going on their boat! The kids did mostly tubing this trip since the water was so choppy.

First Baseball Game 2006

Clayton up to bat! They play with a pitching machine and he does pretty good. He did a great job getting the ball to first base! What a baseball player!

Kindergarten Circus

Clayton was a muscle man for his act. He had pretend weights and it was so cute. His entire Kindergarten Class. It was all of the classes combined. Pretty big production!
Clayton is lifting his really heavy weights!

Braden's Birthday!

Braden turned 3 today and had a blast opening his presents! His daddy took him to the Cardinals game and spent the entire day together. He even got a stuffed Fred Bird at the Build A Bear in the stadium! What a cutie! He loved his gifts! But needed some help opening them up! Good thing Clayton was there to lend a hand!

Alyssa had a piano recital and did a great job! She also participated in Federation which is where she plays 2 pieces and gets judged. She did wonderful and received a Superior grade!

Crazy Cardinal Fans!!
