This Is Us

Yesterday Nick and I were sleep in bed. I could hear that the kids were awake and down stairs. I listened for a minute and figured out that they were getting cereal. I knew Brichette could make that, so I thought I would let them go ahead and I would help clean up any mess that they make, and I stayed in bed. The next thing I knew Xander was walking in our room with a paper cup of water and said they were bringing us Breakfast In Bed. He grabbed another cup and handed it to Nick. Then Brichette walked in with two bowls of cereal on a cookie sheet. They had gotten Frosted Flakes for Nick and Mini Shredded Wheat (Banana Nut) for me. It was a wonderful Breakfast In Bed!!! How Cute Is That??? They are such wonderful kids and we love them very much!!!

So we have been missing Hawaii so much, and can't wait for Nick to be done with school so we can move there. The kids are very excited and were asking if we could move there tomorrow. So in honor of that we have put beach scenes up for our layout. We hope you enjoy them.

We have a new family member. Maren and Eric Jensen had a handsome, healthy baby boy, Ryan Andrew Jensen, on Monday June 8, 2009 @ 3:00 P.M. He weighed 8lbs. 9oz. and was 18 1/2 inches long. He did have an oxygen problem and was kept over night in the nursery, but is doing great now. Here is a picture of the great looking, happy, family: Congratulations Maren, Eric, Joey, Zack, and Carol! Welcome to our family Ryan, we are happy to have you here!

So over Memorial weekend we went camping. We took the ATV's and stayed up Farmington Canyon. We went up Thursday night to get the tent set-up and leave the ATV's . That way were were guaranteed to have a good spot, and not have to fight for one. Then after Nick got off work on Friday we headed up. We were taking Melissa's parent's ATV's up also, so that Troy and Marchezt could come with us on Saturday, but they ended up not having time to meet us, so we took them back. Then Melissa's parents met came up for dinner. Brichette and Xander cooked us Hot Dogs and then we made s'mores . After Melissa's parents left we stayed up and watched the camp fire. After Brichette fell asleep in one of the camp chairs we decided it was time to go to bed. The kids were so excited to sleep in the tent... usually we use Nick's parents camping trailer. On Saturday we rode the ATV's almost all day. Went all the way to the top of Farmington Canyon...

Okay, so here is the update. We are having another baby! WHA HOO!!! Melissa has been very tired and exhausted, more than the other two pregnancies, so she hasn't felt like doing much. The baby is due November 25th. In the picture (not the best) the head is down, butt up, and then arms and legs. Melissa keeps calling the baby a her, because Xander says he is having a baby sister. We don't really have a preference, just that he/she is happy, healthy, and strong. We will find out the sex of the baby in a little over a month. We are having a hard time on names... so if any of you have suggestions we would love to hear them. I think the biggest part of us having a hard time is we don't want "normal" names, but nice, unique names. We were trying to find German names, but didn't like any of them. Melissa was looking for Egyptian names, but couldn't really find any. So we'll see what happens. We'll keep you posted.
