Lil' Bomber and Lip Gloss

I found this sweatshirt and these sweatpants last summer for less than $5, my Silhouette was calling my name. I knew if I had a boy I wanted to make an outfit that would make his dad smile (those who know my husband well understand).Here's the cute little guy sporting it this morning.
Maya loves it when he gives her "Kisses"
Maya got hooked up with some lip gloss from Grandma for Christmas. She is making me laugh, she's been lathering it up all morning! I'm so impressed, she never licks it off. She's better than me.

"Bless us all to be princesses..."

I am so glad Maya is back to volunteering to say our family prayers at night. Last night she asked Heavenly Father to "bless us all to be princesses." I guess being daddy's little princess isn't cutting it.

Christmas in Cali

We rolled into town Christmas Eve and got to stay and visit with my family for a week. Maya was spoiled and loved being around her cousins 24/7.
Christmas morning:

Rett slept through it all!

Grandpa treated the kids to ice skating:

We played at the park:
Maya has been asking to go to the park every day this winter, finally it happened!

Week Before Christmas

We had a fun week leading up to Christmas...

Maya decorated Gingerbread Houses.

We went to the Jensen Christmas Party and met Santa. She got the "pink helmet" that she has been talking about FOREVER. Now she can ride her bike like her daddy.

And, Maya and Rett got to open their Christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa Jensen before we headed to California.

2 Months

At 2 months Rett is losing hair but gaining lots of weight! He smiles and coos all day long. He is mesmerized by his big sister. He doesn't nap consistently, but sleeps well at night. He holds his head up great to look around and likes to try to stand up.

Weight: 13 lbs. 3 oz. (90%)
Height: 23.5 inches (75%)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Christmas is amost here, time to bring out the holiday dresses! Here are my cute kids all ready for church yesterday.

Everett's Blessing Day

Tommy was able to give Rett a blessing on Sunday, December 4th. My mom, dad, brothers and brother-in-law took time to come out from California to be a part of the special day. (Thank you everyone for coming out. And, thank you sister-in-laws and sister for letting them come!)

Unfortunately, my home had been invaded with sicknesses before, during, and continued after they had arrived. We have had two eyes with pink eye, an ear infection, a sinus infection, fifths disease (slapped cheek), and two cases of a cold in these last 2 1/2 weeks.

As a result, we were able to preform the blessing in our home instead of our church building. And amazingly only 1 out of all the visitors went home to find himself with symptoms of a cold!
