My lil laundry helper...I hope it lasts forever!

Jace loves to help with the laundry. He really is a GREAT helper. I put the basket by the dryer and he will pull all the clothes out for me. He will also pull the wet clothes from the washer and place them in the dryer. He helps clean out the lint filter, but doesn't quite have that one down all by himself, just yet! He is in the phase of "pleasing". He knows it makes me happy and it puts the biggest smile on his face to do it. Besides it saves my back from having to bend over. Not that I am old or lazy, just like to let him help :)

Just a side note...for those I haven't shared with. We went to our new ward last week...3 nurseries with 20-25 kids each, 2 elders quorums, and 2 sunday schools. This week sacrament was packed. Our bishop told us we had 440 members there today out of 648.....can any one say crowded, like, so crowded we overflowed to the relief society room. I think we are expecting a split here real soon.

Jace's recent fascination has been with tractors and buses! Today was Brett's first long day at school...like 8:30 - 6. I started thinking what should I do with Jace today.....so after thinking for a minute, I came up with the idea of going to play with Ethan and Hunter...but, we would ride the bus to their house. So, Jace and I packed up our stuff and met the bus just around the corner from our house. Then when we arrived at the transit center, we walked like 3 blocks, and arrived at our friends house, The Denisons. Ethan, Hunter and Jace played for a little while and then we made PBH (peanut butter and honey) sandwiches. It was quite the adventure for the two of us today. Jace was so tuckered out from all the excitement that he fell asleep on the ride home from the transit center. But in the words of Jace....it was "fun"! I am so thankful that our CVTD is a fare free system and that both us and the Denisons live close to bus stops!

ALL DONE MOVING!

So we are in our new place! YEAH!! No more boxes for at least another year, when our lives could change again. My Mom came up and watched Jace while we moved and then unpacked boxes. It was such a help! I think it made the change a ton easier on Jace. Thanks MOM!!! There are tons of students and little families living in this area...it should be really fun! Air conditioning is wonderful, there are lots of tractors for Jace to watch, and we have the biggest sandbox right now...our front and backyard (the sod isn't laid yet)....what more is there to say now that we have internet...everything is perfect about our new place! Other changes that have been happening....Brett started school and this will be a busy year for him! Thank goodness he has a wonderful wife right beside him! (heheh...just a little plug on me). I changed my working day from Thursdays to Mondays to help accommodate with babysitting. I have also been considering picking up one more day every other week. That is the greatest thing about being a dental hygienist...I can pretty much choose when I work and how much. The weather is starting to feel like fall...totally NOT ready for that yet! The summer just began...okay like 3 months ago. I hope that updates everyone...and I will soon post pics of the new house!

News on Moving---Finally!

After many attempts to get in touch with our soon to be new landlords, the verdict it that the date of move in is still undetermined. Because the places are brand new (only 10 are complete and many still in stick phase) the hold up seems to be the City of Logan. Our landlords had the city come and supposedly do the inspection for occupancy, and of course the city came up with something else that the Springs needs to do before given the okay. So, the construction company is hustling and busily trying to put in a secondary pump station for the water/sewer. The estimated time frame the property manager gave us, was sometime this weekend at the earliest, but more likely Monday or Tuesday of next week. The wait continues and we will continue to pack boxes!

Vacation to Henderson and Cedar City!

This is one of my favorite pictures! I just love these two!


Our little jailbird! We went to the Clark County History Museum...I had never been there before.


The kids (Daniel, Tony, Triny, and Jace) were all yelling Choo Choo!

An updated picture of all the Jenson grandkids. Jace, Daniel, and recently born, Aubree!

So, now that you have seen some of the pictures, I will recap what we did. We spent some time with the Grandparents on both sides. Lots of activities were enjoyed and of course wonderful food was enjoyed. It was sure great to see everyone and we are so thankful that everyone makes such a good effort to come and see us or even just make time for us in their busy schedules.
