Prescott Trip

Joe, the girls and I headed up to Prescott this past Friday for a quick day trip. Our friends, Brittany and Dustin have been working up there at United Christian Youth Camp for the summer. We have been meaning to go up there and visit all summer long, but hadn't yet. So we loaded up the girls in the van and were prepared with lots of movies and snacks and were on our way. We met Brittany and Dustin in town and had lunch, then went to the camp. The girls had so much fun. We hung out at the cabin, went to the pool, played in the rec. room and went exploring. The weather was beautiful, it was so nice to be able to be outside and relax. Before heading back to Phoenix, we went to the town square to play and then ate dinner. We were all exhausted, but so thankful for a quick trip out of town.

Katie's Wedding

Katie Crum is now a Jensen, no relation to us, but still pretty cool that she is now Mrs. Jensen, like me. Katie is a former student of ours from the youth group at Glendale Christian Church. I was trying to remember, and I think we met her when she was in 6th grade, so needless to say I was and am starting to feel old. Katie is an amazing girl and it has been such a privilege and joy to be in her life over the years and watch her grow into an amazing woman of God. She decided to go to Manhattan Christian College, where Joe and I went, and that is where she met her new husband, Curtis. Katie is also sisters with Brittany, who is one of my best friends, so it was so fun to celebrate Katie and Curtis and also get to spend time with Brittany and her family. It was a great night out for Joe and I. We had so much fun! Congratulations Katie and Curtis!!!

Jaelyn 5 months

Our precious girl is almost 6 months, so I wanted to share some pictures and highlights of her 5th month. Jaelyn continues to amaze us and is starting to put on a little weight. We started cereal this month and she seems to finally be getting the hang of it and actually liking it. She is rolling all over the place, which is good during wake time, but she hates when she rolls over in her crib. We know if she is crying then that is why. I think she will be sitting up soon, she tries, but has such a long torso that it makes it a little bit more difficult. She is still the happiest, smiliest, most content baby and she are just enjoying every single second with her.

Joleigh's 1st Dentist Experience

So I finally brought Joleigh to see the dentist. I'm not sure why it took me so long to bring her, but I'm glad that I finally did. I was nervous, not knowing how she would react, but she did great! I found a pediatric dentist nearby that a friend recommended. I loved the entire experience, the office and the staff, but more importantly Joleigh did too and can't wait to go back. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she always feels this way.

Aunt Jeri

We had so much fun this summer with Aunt Jeri and her new fiance Mike. Jeri, Joe's little sister, was home for the summer doing an internship and CCV in the children's area. She was pretty busy working and planning for her wedding, but we were able to spend some quality time with her. The girls couldn't get enough of her and Mike and hanging out with them. They loved reading books, playing hide-n-seek, singing songs and showing them how fast they could run. I so thankful that they were able to create some great memories this summer, especially since Jeri and Mike are away at school all year, and we look forward to the next time we get to see them.

Best Friends and Sisters

The summer has come and gone and I don't know where it went. We stayed so busy, not exactly sure doing what, but we had fun trying to stay cool. Looking back at the pictures from this past month I came across some great ones of Joleigh and Noelle. They have so much fun together and really know how to make each other laugh and how to pass the time together. I know I have said it before but I am so thankful for their friendship and how much they love each other!
