I LOVE FALL!


Fall is my favorite season of the year. I think I appreciate nature's beauties then more than any other time, although spring is a close second. I'm looking forward to finishing school so I can make our yard look more beautiful.

Isn't it a commandment to till and take care of the earth? Well........I haven't been doing such a great job lately. However, this tree seems to be doing just fine without my help as you can see. I just thought you would enjoy seeing how beautiful your thoughtful present was becoming.

I was a little disappointed in this tree at first. I expected a maple tree to be more full, but it was rather spindly with small leaves. But every year it fills out more and is becoming a "beautiful swan." It reminds me of how children grow. They all go through the "gangly" stage when they are kind of spindly like the tree, but Heavenly Father works miracles, and we all turn into beautiful adults.

Grandchild #7

I realized today that we haven't blogged about our newest grandchild. Sophie Anne Lott was born April 28, 2010 in Omaha, Nebraska. Jim and I went to visit and help out. I went to Brooke and Dave's house to help with the new baby, and Jim went to Shelbee and Dan's house (2 hours north) to help with some building projects. We both accomplished something (I think) and had a good time. It was nice for me to just get away and have a break from school. Below Rion's pictures are some of my favorite pictures I took while I was playing with baby Sophie.

Rion Tomas Jenson - 7 Months


We had lots of fun with Rion last weekend. Lars, Alyssha, Rion, and Tana came to visit for Memorial Day weekend. These are just a few of the pictures I took. We had fun with Lars, Alyssha, and Tana too.
We watched movies, ate, went on a picnic, ate, visited, ate, did genealogy, ate, etc. Do you think we ate a lot? Well, Tana likes to cook, so when she's home, it seems like we're always eating because she's always cooking. It' great!
