Isaac is two and a half weeks old already!  Time is flying by.  He already is just part of the family.  Sydney and Soren have been very good to him.  Isaac has been a good baby so far.  He definitely cries, but can be comforted.  That is very different from Sydney and Soren as newborns.

My friend, Denise, came to see us and took these pictures.  The froggy blanket she made is so cute!

Isaac David Jensen was born July 25th.  He was 7lbs 9 oz, 19 inches long.  We loved having Grandma Jensen here to help!

 Our day trip to Ozark Caverns was fun.  It was beautiful place, but a hot and muggy day.  The cavern on the other hand was a nice 60 degrees.  Soren had me worried at first repeating, "I'm scared", but half way through decided it was ok.  Both kids said they liked it, but Sydney was expecting more.  On the way home she commented, "I can't believe that we only went on a tour through a cave when we have been driving for like 2 hours..."

 We ate a quick picnic lunch and left.  It was hot!

 34 weeks.

Happy 6th birthday to Sydney!

Sydney and Bailey at Stephen's Lake at Sydney's party with friends. 

We visited some friends in Fulton for Fulton Fun Days and had a great time.  The kids rode the dragon roller coaster and loved it.  Grins from ear to ear.

Sydney enjoyed Ellie's skating party.  I couldn't skate being 7 months pregnant.  I was proud Sydney went out there on her own.

Sydney's ballet recital

Between sessions of conference we did a little trip to Jefferson City to the Runge Nature Center.  We hiked over 1.5 miles and the kids did really well.  As we were turning a corner we came upon 6-7 wild turkeys.  Soren asked why there were big chickens out here.  :)  I tried to get a picture of the turkeys, but they were too far into the trees.

These pictures are all out of order.  Sorry!

 This was Sydney's class fall party.  Toilet paper mummies was a fun giggly game!

 Mizzou Football game.  It was fun until it poured!!

Fast-forward to 2013...

 Springfest at the mall was fun.  The lines were long, but the kids enjoyed it.

 We were surprised when Rapunzel, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Brave showed up!

 Snow melt has filled up the creeks to capacity.

 Sledding with friends after being snowed in for days.

 New van.

My friend, Sheri, sledding with Soren since I'm technically not supposed to be sledding...(but I may have gone down once or twice....)

 Cuddling on the couch.
