Happy Birthday Colten!

Where does all the time go??? I can't believe how quickly our little man is growing up! We are so proud of Colten! He is a wonderful son and a great big brother. He is so proud and protective of his little sister. It so fun to see them play for hours together. Its kinda funny that future boyfriends are going to fear Colten more than me! Happy birthday Colten! Your family loves you very much!

Super Sky

We love ya Sky! If you didn't know, Skyler was able to come back to blackfoot(he is from Florida and is my nephew) to finish his Senior year. It has been AWESOME to have him around again. He has been a wonderful big brother to my kids and they just love him! It has been so fun to bond and get to know him again! It is such and honor to be a part of his life and be able to support him in his dream of being on the Blackfoot High School Varsity Basketball Team. Way to go Sky!!!

Down and Derby!

Colten was able to compete in in his first ever Pinewood Derby race ever! He had a great time. We had worked very hard over the last 2 weeks trying to build a car that would go fast. Dallas Cowboys was the theme (of course!). We even asked Grandpa Jensen and Uncle Phil for advice and boy, did it pay off! Colten went undefeated into the finals but, then lost to another car both times. Once the dust had settled, Colten took 2nd place! I was so happy and also relieved for him! It just makes so excited to see him do so well! I guess there really is something to living life through your children! Colten now gets to go to districts in March! Way to go Colten chose

I must be crazy!

I signed up to run the 2009 Salt Lake Marathon. I know..I know..I must be crazy to try and run 26.2 miles. Last year I competed only in Triathlons and I loved every minute of it. I really want to get better and at these. My end goal is to compete in the Ironman Triathlons. While training for these I have found out that I really enjoy running! Running long distances can be very calming, energizing, and spiritual. There is just something about pushing your body to the physical limit while at the same time having all the time in the world to examine your most personal thoughts and feeling without the interuption of daily life. You really get to find out what your made of and what you can do.

Welcome Home!

I can't not believe how fast the last 18 months have gone. Mon and Dad returned yesterday from Oakland, California. They were officially released yesterday from serving an "Honorable" mission in Oakland, California Mission. I am so proud of my parents! They did such a wonderful job in Oakland, that Dad's nickname was the Defender of the Doctrine! We are so happy to have them home and can't wait for Mikayla to get to know her grandparents! We Love you Grandma and Grandpa!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
We had an awesome Christmas Break! We spent most of our time with family,relaxing, or on the snowmobiles! I can't remember such a enjoyable break. We hope everyone was able to refect on what christmas is all about and more importantly, was able to share that with other people. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years

She is Walking!

I love my daughter so much. Where has all the time gone? It was only last year that I could hold her in my arms for hours and now I can barley keep up with her! She will always have me wrapped around her finger!

Christmas Party

We had a wonderful time at our ward christmas party. It was best one in recent memory. Mikayla was able to sit on Santa's lap for the first time. She cried and screamed bloody murder!(Check out the pictures) Colten says he only sat on Santa's lap because we wanted a picture with Mikayla (But, then I did see him wisper something in Santa's ear) It was a great night and great dinner!

My Big Brother

I am so proud of my Big brother Matt. Last summer I talked Matt into running a Triathlon with me in the future. He wanted a year to train and get into shape. For the Last 6 months Matt has changed his life around. He started exercising 4 times a week and also started eating right. He has lost close to 25 pounds! I really wanted to run in this Feed the Hungry Thanksgiving day 10K (6.2 miles) race in Idaho Falls and I asked Matt if he would race with me and He said yes. We both ran well and completed the race. I was so proud of Matt, he finished in 63 minutes (Which is an AWESOME time!). Thanks Matt! This will always be one of the moments in my life that I will always remember! I love ya Big Brother! Bring On the Boston Marathon 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving 2008
We have not been able to celabrate Thanksgiving with so many family members in a long long time. We spent thanksgiving day with the Jensen family. We really missed Grandpa and Grandma, Brock and Kris, Mike and the boys. This was probably the largest Jensen gathering for Thanksgiving in recent memory. We had a ball spending time with my family. Some of my favorite Highlights - 1-Black Friday with my brother! 2- Thanksgiving dinner 3 - Running the 10k on Thaksgiving morning with my big brother Matt! (Pictures to come)4 - The Jensen Family Play 5 - Mikayla's 1st Thanksgiving dinner.
We then had the opportunity spend the weekend with Laurie's family. Everyone came up from Utah to watch Justin and Lanae bless Jace on Sunday. We love our families so much and love spending time with them. Our little family has so much to be thankful for. Our life just seems to get better and better. Our Heavenly Father just continues to bless my family.

Happy Birthday Mikayla!

Happy Birthday Mikayla!
How times fly when your having fun! I wish you knew how much joy and happiness you have brought to this family! You will always have me wrapped around your little finger! Your family loves you sooooo much! Your mother and I could never have asked for a better daughter than you. We are the proudest parents ever!

BYU VS UTAH

I had had an awesome time attending the Utah(7) vs BYU (14) game in in Salt Lake this weekend. My big brother Mike was able to fly in from Florida (He is a Utah Alumni). It was alot of fun to be with all my brothers(With exception of my little brother Brock - We Missed You). We had a blast! Even though the score was 48-25 with Utah winning and heading to a BSC bowl game! I was really hoping Utah would lose (sorry Mike) so that my beloved Boise State would jump a head a have a shot at the BCS bowl game. We are currently #9 in the Nation. Go Boise!!!

Happy Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween Everyone!
We had a great trick or treat evening. Everyone recieved tons and tons of candy (Feel free to stop by and eat as much as you want). We are also very excited for Halloween to pass because Grandma and Grandpa have only 2 more months left!!!! Hurry home!

Happy Birthday Laurie!

Since today is my beautiful wife's birthday and I want the entire world to know how much I love her. I am dedicating this to my Best Friend, my Eternal Companion, My Wife, Laurie Hale Jensen. I have to be the luckiest man in the world and I truly mean that. I thank my heavenly father every night for bringing Laurie into my Life. I have never met a such a beautiful, intelligent, caring women as Laurie is. She is so patient with me and all my faults, so strong in my times of despair, such a light and example for me to follow, so loving and caring for all my rough edges. I have never known such happiness as I have these last 2 years and I owe most of that to Laurie. She is such a wonderful and faithful companion that does all the little things to make my life just a little easier and more enjoyable without even thinking twice. She is the perfect example of what a "Mother" should be! (I know her mother looks down on her bursting with pride, love, and happiness). Laurie possess such a deep love for each of her children that I am always striving to be a better father. Our children will never question their mothers love and will always seek her comforting touch throughout their lives. I have always envied Laurie's testimony of our Savior. Throughout her life,especially during personal struggles, her testimony has never wavered! She understands the principals of the gospel and is always striving to better herself, our children , and her husband through these principles. I love my wife with all my heart and soul. I am so proud of her and I am so thankful that she is my wife. I appreciate her for all her hard work inside and outside of the home. The Jensen's would fall apart without her. I will never forget those first words "Whats Up?" Happy Birthday Laurie - I Love you very much!

Hello - Grandma & Grandpa

What a absolutley fantastic week we had. My little family had the opportunity to go and visit Grandma & Grandpa Jensen on thier mission in Oakland/San Fransico. We flew out of Salt Lake City Wednesday morning and flew back Sunday evening late. It was so fun to see them again, Its has been 15 months since we had seen them last. They looked so good and work so hard in their mission, I am so proud of them and have missed them so much! This was Mikayla's first time seeing grandma and grandpa, She fell in love with them instantly and we could hardly seperate them. I am really going to have watch when they come home because they are going to spoil here rotten. We were there for 5 days and were able see so many wonderful things. We went to the World Famous Redwood forest, Oakland Temple (Just Beautiful), Alcatraz, Stinson Beach, Fishermens's Warf, and many other historic sites. We miss Grandma and Grandpa so much and can't wait for them to come home.
