Jenson’s 2nd Birthday Party: Monkey Style

Jenson’s 2nd birthday party was over a month ago, but I thought I should share some of the few pictures I took.  It was a good day, but man, are parties stressful to prepare for.  Honestly, it wasn’t the party itself…I really think I kept

Jenson update: He is 2!

This kid cracks me up so much.  Now that he talks constantly, he says the funniest things and is so entertaining.  It was a busy month – I felt like September just disappeared.  And then I started writing this and October disappeared. I’m going to 

Jenson’s 3rd trip to Vegas

Jenson’s 3rd trip to Vegas

It occurred to me that Jenson has never been to the beach, but has been to Vegas 3 times now (4th if you count in utero).  No, we are not gambling addicts, and neither is he.  My sister’s family lives there, and Max is 4

Pregnancy thus far ~ 20 weeks

Touch-a-Truck and JD Day of Play

I started this post a month ago, and then life got chaotic.  Nothing super-crazy, but we went to Vegas, Jenson turned 2, I re-purposed a tv stand into a play kitchen for Jenson the same week I was trying to get ready for his birthday

Jenson turned 2, and we had a great day.  We played outside in the morning before lunch.  He took an hour to fall asleep, but eventually I rocked and sung him to sleep…I know those days are fleeting.  He woke up horribly from his nap
