Life in July 2010

It has been so much fun to watch the girls grow up over the last month. They are starting to play together and even fight occasionally! In these pictures, Rachel found a little box to sit in and Lizzy got jealous. They starting fighting over the box so Ashley got them each their own and they were so happy!


There is nothing Rachel loves more these days, then emptying out a box or drawer and then sitting in it!


Nathan has been such a big help this summer. He always wants to be the one to push Rachel's stroller.


And, of course, Lizzy has to push her doll in a stroller and be a little mama!


The boys had fun doing a little face painting with some new markers we got!


We got another ride-on car this summer off of KSL. This mustang is cool because 2 people can ride in it and it has a great radio. Here Nathan is giving our neighbor Simon a ride.


Nathan is quite the builder.


All 4 kids enjoying blocks on a Sunday morning...


Rachel really likes stacking blocks and knocking them down. It's another one of her favorite things to do these days.


Ashley took the kids to Bridal Veil falls to play in the water. Here the boys are throwing rocks...


An attempt at a family picture of all 4 kids...


Rachel did not want to miss out on the fun. She insisted on putting her feet in the freezing water and tossing in rocks.



Lizzy was very cautious about getting in the water.


Lizzy accessorized this outfit herself-- with the necklaces, hat, etc. She loves her 'pretties' and being a little princess.


Lizzy likes to 'help' with the household chores.

Ashley took the kids to the Balloon festival for the 4th of July. It starts at 6:30 Am and you get to watch all the hot air balloons inflate. We love it.


The girls were enchanted with the balloons.


We loved the 'diet coke' balloon.

Park City Family Reunion

Lizzy really enjoyed playing chase with her 2nd cousin Jacob Fresh while we were visiting Olympic Park.

The 34 of us Jensens during the Family Reunion at Olympic Park. Dave's parents arranged a private tour to take us around the park. It was really so interesting-- it was one of our favorite parts of the reunion. The whole trip was so much fun. Park City was the perfect vacation for a family our size--there was something for everyone to do. Dave's parents got condos next to each other at the Park City Resort for all of us, so we had lots of time to spend together and bond.

While the family hiked for 2 hours, Ashley walked around Trial lake with the girls. They enjoyed throwing stones in the lake (while we were being attacked by mosquitos!)

Life in June 2010

On June 3, 2010 Ashley's brother Dane got married to Brenna Orgill. They were married in Boston and all of us went out to his wedding.


Dane and Brenna were married in the LDS Boston temple, where Dane is serving as a temple worker. The temple is located in Belmont, MA, where Brenna is from.

Lizzy loves to pet our kitty and watch her tail wiggle.


We were also able to get away for 2 days to Daniel Summit for a BYU conference.


Aunt Claire hosted a family dinner in honor of Dane and Brenna who were honeymooning in Utah and Idaho.
