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!!

First day of school

The first day of school has finally arrived and I couldn't be happier. Does that make me a bad mom? You don't have to answer that...

Anyhow, Nate's first day was on Tuesday and he's going everyday. Leah started Wednesday and she has the M-W-F schedule. Nate and Leah couldn't have been more ready to get to school yesterday and I couldn't find enough time before 9 to get them ready. Always late...story of my life! Oh well.....

  

The kids had a blast at school and received good reports from their teachers.  In fact, Leah's teacher mentioned how well adjusted she is for her age.  Ty and I are the parents of two social butterflies...big surprise there.

Here's my little Dollface!
