Another Month Gone By

It feels like I just updated this blog. Well I did...a month ago! So many things have happened. We took a trip to Kentucky for a funeral, celebrated Great Grandpa Jensen's 90th birthday, the girls started gymnastics and we were able to get our bathroom completed. (pictures to follow...if I remember to post them)

The funeral was for my grandmother who was 80 years old. What a wonderful inspiration to me and my life. She raised 9 children. That is an accomplishment within its self!! From the time she was 18 years old until she was 28 1/2 she was pregnant/giving birth, all while keeping a household running. And then she had a life of taking care of her family. She had remarkable talents, was a great example of being self reliant, was a great cook and had a great sense of humor. She will be missed.

Great Grandpa Jensen TURNED 90 years old!! 90!! What a wonderful man. He sealed Josh and I in the Nauvoo Temple. He is loved by so many! We were very honored to share that day with him.

The girls started gymnastics! Miss L and Miss E are having so much fun in their gymnastic classes. Miss L's favorite part is the obstacle circuit they have. Miss E love, LOVES the trampoline and the balance beam. She is beginning to have a lot more to say. So just ask her, she will give you the story on gymnastics.

The bathroom is COMPLETE!! Mr. J's brother and father were nice enough to take time off of work, drop their schedules for a few days, and travel to help Mr. J finish the bathroom. It looks so AWESOME. Our home is not the same home we purchased just a short while ago. It is BETTER!! I am so grateful for a wonderful father-in-law and brother-in-law, who took time away from their own families, to come and help. I will never be able to express the love and gratitude that I have for them.
