Lately...

Well the tables have turned in regards to my kids behavior. Nate came into this world with a fiery passion for life which could sometimes be confused with him behaving like a wild animal (primate of some sort). Leah entered life very laid back and easy-going (except for those months of h*ll during colic)....totally chill.
Wow! Thing have definitely changed. Nate is sooooo easy...listening, behaving, helping....I could go on and on. Leah on the other hand has turned into a full on DIVA. She is extremely independent and it makes life very difficult especially when are trying to be on time for school, church, doctors appointments, etc. Now I know that their ages are a huge determinate of their behavior (Nate is almost 5 and Leah is almost 2 1/2), but I'm just saying. This entry may sound like I'm complaining, because I am....remember the title of my blog. :) Anyhow, I will look back at this point in my life and get a good laugh.

Primate Nate

Miss Independent

(That face makes it really hard for me to stay frustrated.)

BTW- Life lately is great!!!!

LIVESTRONG!

A shot out for Ian.

Hold it Against Me

I admit that one of my guilty pleasures is Britney Spears, so of course I like her new song, Hold it Against Me. I came across this awesome cover of the song performed by this amazing new artist, John Lennon. Check it out!

Enjoy!

I came across this on Facebook and thought I'd share it with ya'll. This is so touching to me....notice how the little girl is leaning on her daddy....SOOOO SWEET!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!!

Yep that's right....I haven't posted since Halloween. I totally missed the rest of the holidays, which happened to be totally awesome. I can't seem to get with the whole blogging schedule. I've decided that this year, 2011, will be a time for some big changes. I'm not talking New Years resolutions, because those never last. These changes are to be life lasting. I want to be a better me. I plan on giving 150% towards everything I do....as a Christian, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend....etc. I also want to take better care of myself (physically and mentally) because that makes it easier for me to perform these goals. So here's to a new start!!!

As for those wonderful holidays I mentioned earlier....

Thanksgiving was so much fun because the entire Jensen gang along with my awesome in-laws were able to get together for a delicious turkey dinner. We all left fat and happy!

December was action packed because we headed down to Orlando for a week because my baby sis graduated from UCF. Go Lellie! Go KNIGHTS!!! Since we had a lot of time to kill we decided to hit up Disney World. Loads of fun!

The rest of December flew by so quickly....tons of family, tons of shopping, and tons of eating. My three favorites things....what more could I ask for?! Christmas time was the only thing that I would change because it's never long enough. :( I'm already counting down til next year.

New Years was so much fun! Long story short, we almost didn't make it out for the evening, but everything turned around. We rang in the New Year with Jess and Mike....couldn't ask for a better night.

Now onto 2011....here we come!

Halloween

Our Halloween was yet another fun-filled....face stuffing (w/candy)...spook-tacular weekend. The kids had an absolute blast Saturday night at Nana's annual Halloween party and loved being the center of attention. Of course, trick-or-treating on Sunday with the Huerkamps was the highlight of Nate and Leah's night.

Our lil' 50's Sweetie!

Star Wars!!!!

They're obsessed!!!  Nate is dressed as Anakin, Jack as Darth Vader and

 Luke as Luke Skywalker.

(Please excuse Nate's crazy eyes....too much candy.)

Pictures taken right before they left for their Harvest party...bounce houses, hay rides....games etc. 

Good  times!

Happy Halloween!!
