Recent Happenings

I am really bad at keeping our blog updated as things happen, so here is another post with lots of pictures. We have acutally had a lot going on lately and time is flying by. I can't believe that we are in July already. Here are some pictures of what we have been up to...
This is just a cute picture of Ella with her Daddy. When he actually gets free time he loves playing with her and reading with her.

Two weeks ago we decided to go on a scenic drive north of where we live. We have never really ventured north of North Salt Lake and we were amazed how beautiful it was. We drove through some great towns that I can't remember the names of, but we really enjoyed it. Part way through we found a trail and decided to go on a little hike. I was car sick, Ella was cranky, and Charlie was just his crazy self so it was the perfect time to get some fresh air.
This is a cheesy family picture of us enjoying our hike.

Ella doing her best to maneuver the rocky terrain.

I think we wore Ella out, this was on the way home.


On July 1st, my brother and his wife welcomed their fourth son into their family and he is adorable. His name is David John Jensen and I forgot his stats, but he is doing great. We went to the hospital to meet him that morning. Here is Ella with her Grandma Diane.

Proud mommy, Lucy with David.

Me with David.

David with one of his older brothers, Sam.

While Lucy was recovering, my mom took the older three boys up to Park City to stay with her. We joined in some of their fun. This is Dustin and Ella swimming with the boys.

This was more Ella's style that day, and she just was happy to sit on the top step and splash around. We are working on getting her more comfortable in the water.


On the fourth everyone came to our house for food and fireworks. Unfortunately Greg, Lucy, and David couldn't come because David got bad jaundice and needed to be at home recovering. We missed them but still had a blast. Here is Ella and her cousins watching Bolt. She LOVES playing with these boys and they are so cute with her.
