jensen update

Sorry I haven't posted in the last little bit. Life has been a bit crazy! My camera connections still don't work so sorry for not posting any pictures.

• Avrie's Valentine Party: Avrie's preschool had a valentine party this morning. She was so excited. Me being the crazy busy forgetful Mom didn't realize it was so soon until my Mom reminded me that Valentine's was this week. So last night at about 10:30 I went to Wal Mart. Avrie tried to stay up, but was sound asleep with Kevin on the recliner. So I put 16 cute little Tinker Bell valentines together with little pencils and made her a valentines box. She woke up the next morning FURIOUS. Who is going to want pencils mom. That's all we do at school is use pencils. We are kids and we need candy. Whoops! She went to school so mad! When she got home she realized it was ok and was just so excited that Brock was there. Ha ha he is this cute little kid and she loved what he gave her. A heart sucker. She said she loved it with all of her heart. She loves Valentines now.... pencils and all.
• Nate and Rhonda's Jazz Party: Nate and Rhonda were so nice to invite us to dinner and another crazy Jazz game. It is never a dull moment at these events. Kevin, Vern, Me, Rhonda, Avrie and Payton (unless his Dad mentions Kobe's name) are big Jazz fans and poor Nate the Laker fan. Brent was there to but I am not exactly sure who he was going for. It was such a fun game to watch. Rhonda is a great cook and had lots of good food for us. They are such great friends. Go Jazz!
• Work is a lot busier these days: My amazing night managers quit. Britt got an awesome opportunity to coach at the University of Utah football team and everything just happened so fast and left me all alone with 288 crazy college kids. I miss Amanda so much. It's just not the same anymore and it never will be. I hope you guys the best, but you really just should come back. If you know me I am not an emotional person and I was a wreck. I still am a wreck. Amanda was my security blanket and I always knew I could ask her for advice and how to handle things and she always just new. Wherever you end up teaching I will give you the best recommend ever!
• Kevin bought me some new furniture and decorations! I love them and I love him!
• Shelby went to State Drill team. They did awesome. I can't believe she is a senior. She is an amazing dancer. We had an eventful experience up there. for lunch Ken and Linda had a gift certificate for Applebees (not my favorite), but I thought how bad can this be.... Ken and Linda always go to the exact same place when they come up north and always have so I was so excited to show them somewhere new. Well Kevin ordered a steak and potatoes dinner and can't eat until he has everything he orders well they forgot to bring out his potatoes and 20 minutes after they brought out his steak they finally brought his potatoes. They came in two piles - one was ice cold they seriously had ice on them and one pile was so hot it burnt his tongue. so he thought he would just mix them and be fine with it, but they stayed cold. He nicely asked for more and the manager offered cheese and bacon bits and everything else you put on potatoes. They brought them out about 20 more minutes later and because he can't eat his steak until all of his food is there it had gotten cold. Meanwhile we are all done eating and Kevin hasn't even started to eat. So he takes a bite of these amazing looking potatoes and in the first bight finds a spit wad. he never swears and he swore more in that dinner than I have ever heard him. So we get the manager back and he actually had the balls to explain it. He was trying to justify the paper in his food saying its just the paper we scrape the potatoes up from. So he is like I will get you a free desert and Kevin just asked if he could get a discount. He agreed and the waiter came back and said we have good and bad news. The good news is you got 50 percent off of your meal the bad news is we gave it to Vern. We were laughing so hard. My drink had dirt in it not a little it was disgusting. It looked like someone crapped in my cup. I still gag over it. I didn't say anything until everyone was done eating so they would still eat. Anyways nothing can just be normal with the Jensen's and Kevin ended up eating somewhere else. Needless to say we will never go there again.
• We went to a jazz game and they let me take a picture with the guys that do the half time show. So I wrote on a paper jungle (my father in law's nickname) the Jazz miss you, come back to a game and told them to make a sad face. It turned out so funny. We blew it up and I gave it to him. He loved and now I think he will come with us. I will post a picture of it later.
• A few cute things about Avrie right now so I can remember: I asked her if she knew what the chicken pox are and she said Mom do you think I'm an idiot? I didn't even know she knew that word and I am pretty sure she doesn't know what chicken pox are.
• This is so embarrassing and I can't believe I am telling you this. So I sat down to get on the computer and said ouch. She asked me what was wrong and I tried explaining what a zit was and that I had one on my butt. HaHaHa. She laughed so hard. That was that and I was glad to have that conversation over. It wasn't she went to school and shared that her mom has a zit on her butt and has a hard time sitting. She told me she was so happy to make her teacher happy and it made her laugh so hard. I could have killed her! i will try to remember what I say around her
• She has been on an estrogen outburst lately...drama queen to say the least. She always says don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't think about me. Just let me be I just need me time and don't ask why. I say don't act like a teenager and she says well does it look like I am going to stop. I hope this is just a phase. I miss my sweet little girl.
• Avrie is in the CTR 5 primary class and came out and said its really good to be a VCR meaning CTR. She loves church.
• Things she loves right now are: dance, grandmas and grandpas (ALL OF THEM - she is so lucky to have so many to spoil her), her aunts and uncles, McDonalds cheese burgers, crackers, head stands, SpongeBob, Icarly, her room, her blanket, catching snow on her tongue, hugs and snuggling, popcorn with movies, the computer - she loves the starfall website, her Buddy - Dad, getting her Mom a diet coke to keep her sane, jump ropes, lip gloss. She is so special. She is my hero. She is the perfect combination of the two of us. She has the biggest heart and is so sensitive and observant of everyone else's feelings - that is from her dad. She also is stubborn and KNOWS she can do anything without a doubt, she never gives up, a leader, so outgoing, she loves to meet new people - she gets these qualities from me. she is going to conquer the world. Oh yeah and she is the smartest 4 year old I know. She definitely gets that from me. Kevin would beg to differ. Ok she does get that from him. Avrie we love you and are so proud of you! Happy Valentines Week!

Wow, that was a really long post of the most random things. I love my life. I am blessed!
