A lot has happened since August 2012.

In September Jeff got a new client located in London UK and they are just about to launch a very large website.  They are all very excited.  We went to Utah for 2 weeks and surprised everyone.

In October I turned 25.  Britley started preschool and LOVES it.  We had a Halloween party with all our friends and it was a blast.

In November I had a craft night with all my girl friends.  We had so much fun watching one of my good friend paint LOTS of crafts.  I think she had somewhere around 30 crafts to make.  It was a great night.  We had thanksgiving with family in Oregon.  At the end of November into December we went back to Utah for another business trip.

December was eventful.  We came back from Utah only to go back.  This time was a little sad.  My mom was diagnosed with a very rare type of cancer stage 4.  The doctors are very optimistic.  We went down for Christmas and stayed with family for 2 weeks.  It was a good time to be with family.

In January we got back on schedule.  We bought a travel trailer and fixed it up so we can go camping this summer.  The London clients came to Seattle to do work with Jeff.  Had a great time with them in town.

February was the end of Football season.  Jeff’s favorite team, the 49ers were in the super bowl this year.  They were favored to win in think but sadly were cheated out of the winning.  Maybe next year.  We had a big party and it was a blast.  The day after super bowl, Jeff and I were lucky enough to go to San Diego without the kids.  My grandparents and sister came and watched the kids.  We went to disneyland and california adventures and had a great time.  Wednesday and Thursday Jeff had business conferences so I spent time by myself.  It was relaxing.  Went to the spa and salon, walked the beach.  The whole trip was fun.

We will see what adventures March will bring us!!

We just had 2 weeks of family visit for Lizzie’s Blessing.  It was so much fun to see everyone and be able to spend time with them, Thanks so much for coming everyone!

I have added new photos to our gallery, check them out.

Well this is going to be out of order since we have a new baby to announce, Lizzie Marie Jenson.  But with the adjustment of life, I have not found the time to post until today.  It is Britley’s birthday and when I asked her what she wanted all she said was ” cake, balloons, party hats, goodies bags, cake, and presents”.  She requested Minnie Mouse cake so that I did.  It was so much fun to make and it turned out great if i say so myself.  It also tasted fabulous.  Take a look:

We had a party with friends and Britley had a blast playing.  We went to bed late and we all slept in till 10am.  It was great.  Now we have a week to prepare for our 2 fun weeks of family along with the blessing of Lizzie, Whoo!

A few weekends ago Jeff finally had some time off of work so we went bowling as a family.  Brit was super excited.  We played for 2 hours and Brit held up very well for such a late night.  I did alright for being pregnant and it was fun to get out.  I did forget the camera so the pictures aren’t great but at least I have some 🙂

Since bowling Jeff has been really busy with work that we have just stayed home.  We have has lots of snow even into March which is very strange but it hasn’t stuck around for long.

The other day I was very emotional and crying and, cute little girl as she is, came to me and said “calm down, mom, calm down” and then proceeded to give me a hug.  It was really funny and made me laugh.

Yesterday we went to the park and fed the ducks.  Britley had so much fun and thought it was cool.  Even Boo wanted to jump in with the ducks.  The funny part was we were walking on really wet grass down a hill and Jeff slipped and was sliding down the hill.  It was scary but funny all at once.  He didn’t get injured but was extremely muddy.  I didn’t know what to do but watch him slide.

Jeff has been playing church basketball for a little while and they have done really well.  He really enjoyed it but the season is over and now they are moving to a different sport.  We will see if it is something Jeff wants to play 🙂

I think we are finally getting over all the cold’s and flu’s we have had the last several months.  I hope they don’t come back.  On Saturday night I made some new skirts for Britley.  She loves them and looks so cute it them.

We got snow yesterday so church got cancelled halfway through it so everyone could get home safe.  Since we had a little extra time we cleaned up the downstairs really good to try and get rid of all germs that we have felt infested with.  It looks beautiful and I just have to finish washing everything.

Today we had some friends over for blueberry pancakes and it was nice to have someone else to talk to than a 2 year old.  Britley always loves when her friend Rylee comes over but she needs to learn to share with Rylee.  Thanks for coming over Natalie and kids 🙂

I am addicted to pinterest and Jeff makes fun of me.  I love the ideas it has for everything and its a nice bookmarker for all the cool things I find on the web.  If you aren’t on it, you should check it out.

Well, it has been over a year since I have posted here.  I can’t believe I went that long, I guess I was so busy.  I am going to get better because I want my kids to be able to go read all about us and growing up etc so I have no choice.

Here are the updates:

We moved from Lynnwood to Kent this past summer/fall into a house we are renting.  We love the space it gives us to grow and couldn’t rent from better people 🙂  Brit loves having a backyard to play in and asks to go outside often.  Boo thinks its the best to be able to run around.  We have a fabulous ward and lots of friends in our new area.  We couldn’t ask for anything better.

Our biggest news this year is we are expecting our 2nd daughter.  She is due May 31st.  We are so excited and Brit can’t wait to be a big sister.  She already likes to feel mom’s belly and “wake up” the baby to feel her move.  She even sings to the baby, its so sweet.  I have had a very hard time during this pregnancy with dehydration, painful braxton hicks contractions, extreme colds, and double vision.  Not all these pertain to the pregnancy but they all happened during this pregnancy that it makes it harder to cope when my body is trying to grow a baby.  The baby is very healthy and growing well so we are not worried.  All the sicknesses will soon pass and we can get back to a healthy life.

Jeff is still working on his business and it is growing extremely well.  He is always busy but always makes time for Britley and I.  He is playing basketball at church every Thursday night and is loving it.

Brit is growing like a bean stock.  She is very opinionated and likes to do things herself.  We are in the middle of potty training and she is doing very well.  She has her own potty that sings to her every time she goes.  Hopefully we can get of diapers very soon.  Brit loves playing with friends, coloring, painting, watching movies, playing games on her tablet, going outside and shopping.  She is speaking very well and every day her speech gets better.  We love having her in our lives.

My baby is getting so big. She is now in a toddler bed that she loves. She sleeps very well in it. I am getting sick of the diaper thing so will be potty training soon, good luck to me 😉 She has the biggest attitude ever and knows what she wants. She tries to tell us I think but can’t quite say the words. She is so much fun and we love her to death.

I can’t believe its December. I have not been updating as often as I would like but life has been going great. I am enjoying my job at the dance studio, Jeff is working very hard and is busy all the time with his work, and Britley is growing and funnier than ever.

My family came up for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun to see them. Of course, when they came they had to bring the snow with them and Seattle does not do well with snow. On Monday, we all got trapped at our house and even my parents had to spend the night because the roads were not good to drive on. it was fun to have a big slumber party. The rest of the week was good as the snow was slowly melting away. Thanksgiving was awesome at my aunt and uncles house. We had tones of food, played games, and decorated gingerbread houses. On Black Friday Jeff and I got up at 3am and went to target then walmart and then back to bed. It was sad to have my family leave but happy they could come and can’t wait till they come again.

We are excited for this holiday season and hope everyone else has a great holiday season too.

Wow, I can’t believe September is almost over. A lot has happened since my last post. Our anniversary was on 8/11. We went over to Kingston and had the most incredible crepes. We had a savory one that had ham and cheese and mushrooms on it. It was served on a wheat crepe. This was so good but the best was the dessert crepe. On the menu there was a strawberry and Belgian Dark chocolate so we asked if they would add bananas. I couldn’t stop eating it and wanted another one when it was gone. I craved them so much after that so I decided to recreate the recipe. You can find this on my recipe blog at the link above.

We went to Salt Lake City for 2 weeks for a wedding and Jeff’s work. We got to visit with family and friends and had so much fun. We miss them all.

I now have a job teaching dance and Jeff’s work is getting super busy. He also gets to spend time with Brit in the afternoons while I go to work. He is enjoying this and Brit is having fun being with dad.

Britley is growing so much and has such an ATTITUDE! She get into everything, talks her baby talk all the time, and knows exactly what she wants but has a hard time telling us. She gets so upset when we don’t know what she wants that she throws her body all over hoping we understand 🙂 She is a joy and I still love watching her grow every day.

Time for an update

A couple weeks ago we went to my Aunt & Uncles home for dinner with some of their friends.   They served fish that was cooked on cedar wood and alder wood, chicken, potatoes, salad and it was all delicious.  Britley loved everyone and the attention they gave to her.  We all played the wii and even got Jeff & my uncle to play, which was funny to watch 🙂   It was a blast to hang out with everyone.

Last week, sweet Britley decided to shut her bedroom door and play with her toys.  I could hear her on the monitor so wasn’t concerned.  Then everything was a little too quiet so I went into her room and to my surprise, Britley had found the little jar of vaseline and had smeared it all over her and her toys and the carpet.  It was not fun to clean up but it was funny, at least until it happens again.  When I wanted to take a picture I realized my camera was broken then halfway through cleaning it up I remembered I could take a picture with my phone so this is Britley in the bath after her vaseline incident.

Last night we were able to go to the Mariners Baseball game with my Aunt and Uncle.  It was AWESOME.  It was my first Baseball game and with the Mariners not doing so well, I didn’t know what to expect.  It turned out amazing.  We had great seats, ate really good ballpark food, visit with family, and with Jeff’s luck, the Mariners won the game.  Britley stays at my Aunt and Uncles house with their kids and the babysitter and had fun too.  I always feel better knowing she isn’t crying and is having fun.  We are greatful to the babysitter for watch Britley.
