Maya's First Day of Preschool

This little lady had her first day of preschool today and couldn't be more ready.  A friend in our neighborhood has been teaching for over 15 years and has a preschool set up in her basement.

 She jumped out of the car and wouldn't wait for me, she said she didn't want to be late.

 

 After school, showing off their apple seeds that they finger painted.  She said the apple project was her favorite part today, plus the cookies of course!

Rett had a hard time being home alone with me.  After just 3o minutes he was asking for "My-My."  It 's going to be a rough adjustment for the little guy (me too).

Catch up... Vacation- part 2

Disneyland!!!  We spent two days at Disneyland and California Adventure with my parents.  Thank grandma and grandpa for coming with us, and spoiling the kids!

The highlights for Maya were the princesses, Toon Town, and Radiator Springs Racers.

The highlights for Rett were meeting characters, Cars Land, and playing in water

A lot of the time Rett spent his time like this, eyes closed tight, hugging us, saying "scary."  Things were either too loud or dark for him.  He DID NOT enjoy rides that involved going inside buildings or tunnels. 

Other fun memories...

Catch up... Family Vaction (June/July 2013)- part 1

Tommy had to go to San Diego for a few days for work so we tagged along and made a fun family vacation out of it!  We flew into San Diego and spent about 2 1/2 days there.  We visited the San Diego Zoo and hit the beach!

 

I took the kids to the zoo while Tommy was in meetings.  It was a GREAT experience!!  We had a blast and the kids didn't want to leave.

 

 

 

Of course it was the coldest day that I chose to take the kids to the beach.  They loved it anyway.  To no surprise, Rett loved rolling in the sand and Maya loved collecting shells.  The seaweed grossed them out and Maya is still talking about it.

 

 

 

Playing Catch Up... Dance Recital (May 2013)

The day before Maya's dance recital they had a special Daddy/Daughter Night.  The neighborhood dad's took the ladies to dinner and ice cream before they headed to the dance studio for a dress rehearsal for their "Pixie Dance."

 The day of the show... Maya is waiting to go on stage for their first number. 

 This is right after her second dance number, "Sophia the First."

 

Cell Phone Happenings

I thought I would take a minute to let you all in on some happenings in our lives.  These are a few moments caught on my cell phone the past month.

 

 Watching the construction from our back yard.

My mom came to visit right before Easter.  She was a great client in Maya's Hair Salon.

 Easter Egg Hunt and Barnes Park.

Gearing up for the Jensen Easter Egg Hunt.

A visit from Aunt Jen Conference weekend.

Rett fell apart every time Maya got her backpack on for Joy School.  I broke down (for my sanity) and bought him his very own.

 It snowed on Monday- YUCK.  Here are the ladies taking a break from Joy School.

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day

Here is a little love from the Jensen family sporting their V-day attire...
