Happy Halloween!

Follow the yellow brick road, because for this Halloween we're off to see the Wizard! Dallin, Vivy, Avery, & Clara!

Now let's see if we can convince these cute kids to wear the same costumes the night of trick-or-treating!

Jaren as Wolverine, and myself as Elphaba or the Wicked witch of the west for our Friend's Halloween party. Clara & Vivy and Dallin who is sleeping in this photo are sporting their Halloween jammies that I like to get them each year since their birthday's are October!

We have Andi as the candy land peppermint queen, Hillary the angel, Brit the witch, Christina a butterfly with her baby unicorn, and Dani the fairy!! What cute girls and a fun party!

Careful X-man you might stab pink panther & pop our sumo man Seth!!

Blessing Avery!

Avery's blessing dress & bonnet. I thought she looked like a little porcelain doll! Grandma & Grandpa Jensen were in town so we blessed our little baby.

Jaren gave Avery a beautiful blessing and I am always touched by the sweet words he blesses our children with.

Most of Jaren's family was in town for Kayla's baptism so we blessed our baby too. This way they were able to participate. It was so much fun to have them.

Avery is zonked out! Sweet kisses from her mom!

I'm back!

Okay everybody, I"m back & still alive. I just haven't found the time to blog since baby #4 has kept me super busy! Dallin enjoys watching the girls play soccer although he'd rather be out on the field kicking the ball himself. The gatorade is a distraction so I don't have to chase him all around!

Baby Avery is such a good baby, I think because she has to be knowing she's #4!

Vivy at soccer practice, getting ready to kick the ball. She loves soccer and enjoys the games they play and scoring goals!

Clara at soccer too, only she wasn't as interested in it as Vivy. She said she needs new shoes for the game and then she will do it more!

Vivy loves to help out and hold her baby sister!! She is so good to always give her her binki and sing to Avery when she cries & it is too precious. The other day Avery was crying while I was busy doing something and Vivy exclaimed, "That's it Mom, she can't take it anymore...HELP the baby!" Okay little miss mom :) I thought

Clara also is a big help with holding Avery and putting her to sleep when I need a free hand. She absolutely loves her little sister & I can't wait until Clara can change diapers hehe!!

Avery Elizabeth Jensen is here!

Just three days old and already the princess of the house! My sister-in-law Katy did a photo shoot and took the most gorgeous pictures of little Avery. Here are just 2 to share!

Swimming lessons!

Dallin, Vivy, and Clara all excited about swimming lessons taken at our community center. The only problem is that Dallin gets quite frustrated that he's not included in the swim lessons. Vivian completed all of the requirements except put her face in the water, while Clara wondered why she was in the little kid class. I thought starting them out together in level 1 would help them both be more confident if they were together.

Vivian's back float, with a little resistance but still smiling!

Clara doing her back float with ease!

Getting those kicks down is very important.

Clara is already swimming all over the place and Vivy is getting more used to the water. They have loved their swim lessons especially the fun games they play! Then we come home and play them in our own pool. We are all glad to jump in the cold water to escape this hot summer!!!

Horse back riding!

Jordan is fixing up Bailey and Dallin for a fun horseback ride! Dallin thought this was so much fun. He loved petting the main and moving Bailey's hand off the horn so he could hold on all by himself. Vivy, Jordan, Bailey, and Dallin clopping along, and loving every minute of the ride!

Vivy riding Hopey, but she called him Coco. Alex didn't seem to mind.

Clara riding Ivy

The other weekend we got to visit Aunt Sue & Uncle Jeff and all their cute girls. Jordan, Alex, and Bailey took our kids horseback riding and they absolutely loved it! We always love visiting them because they let us ride horses, feed the cows, collect chicken eggs, play with kittens in the barn, sit on their dogs, and pick out a prize turkey for Thanksgiving!! That's not even all, Susan made us homemade bread, with homemade strawberry jam, and Jeff made us fish tacos (from alaska) with a secret recipe sauce on top. Who wouldn't want to come to this Anderson home and never leave!!!

Soulja "BELLY" #2

Well because I am prego with another Soulja Belly, and my brother Jeremy who just left on a mission loved doing this dance over and over and over again for several months straight...I thought it appropriate to do a little dance for him!! 4 more weeks and this baby girl will come out dancing like her mama!! Can't wait, maybe this will help me to go into labor! The sooner the better!
