Hudson's new Christmas Toy!

On my second birthday my aunt Eve gave me this Santa toy and it moved and played Jingle Bells. I thought it was the greatest. So my mom kept it through all the years and gave it to me for my kids. I was excited to get it out for Hudson this Christmas but I guess he thought different about it.

Hudson's Pictures

So first off Iam so lucky to have a mom who is the best photographer. That means I am going to have the best pictures of my kids. Hudson was eight months when he had these pictures taken and I think they are the cutest stinkin pictures ever! It is fun to see all of his different facial expressions he has. He is such a character. Here are a few i wanted to share. And mom you are the best! Thanks again!

Jensen Family Pictures 2009

This last weekend we had the annual Jensen Family Pictures. I think they turned out so cute; although it was pretty chilly. I don't think we look to cold. Stetson's girlfriend Lyndsi took the family ones and my mom did the rest of them. It was great that we could all get together to do these pictures. As the Thanksgiving holiday is approaching I want to express how thankful I am for my family. I am grateful for all they do for Channing, Hudson and I. And the support they give us each day and also for the great examples they are in our lives. I don't know where I would be without them. I want to let my parents know how much I appreciate them and all they taught me and the big influences they are to me. And to my siblings for their willingness to help with Hudson all the time. We love you!

Hudson and his new bed!

My parents came up on Monday on their way to Jackpot to a photography convention and theybrought up Hudson's crib up since we could never fit it in our car. We appreciated it so much! So his first night sleeping in it we went pretty good and he only woke up once(which is really good for him) and the next morning Chan went and go him out and his arm was totally out of his pajamas but all of his buttons were still done up. We wondered how in the heck he managed to do that, but he did. He is the funniest little boy because he sleeps on his knees face done and we try to move him him but he always ends up back in that position. We are grateful for his crib so hopefully no more sleeping with mom and dad.

Hudson's First Halloween

Hudson has the cutest little warmer outfit of a moose so I just put him in that because I knew it would be warm and everyone thought it was a Halloween outfit, but it wasn't. He looked so cute and got so many compliments on it. We went to the tri ward Trunk or Treat and went through eight bags of candy. There were so many people but it was so fun.

Shosone Falls

One afternoon we went to the beautiful Shosone Falls not to far from our house. They are really amazing and anyone that comes through Twin Falls should stop and see it. While we were there we saw a international celebrity flaunting her stuff. We didn't catch her name but she was a hottie for sure. Well the view of the falls is awesome and I recommend it to everyone.

Catch up.....

It has been a long time since I have last posted something, but we finally got a lap top and the internet at our house. It was a pretty exciting day for sure. We like it here in Twin Falls and the apartment we live and our ward. Channing is really liking the Animal Science program here at CSI and enjoys the classes he has been taking. Channing also works at Home Depot and he works when he is not at school but we are grateful he has a job. I have doing hair out of our home and I also just stay at home with Hudson which is the greatest blessing for me. I am so lucky to have such a hard working husband so I can stay home with my little boy and not have to work. Hudson is growing up so fast I can't believe it. He is nine months now and scooting around everywhere and getting into everything. When it gets really quiet you know he has either pooping his pants or he is getting into something. Oh but I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world. He is such a joy in our lives and keeps us smiling. He is now eating more solid foods and he is a messy little eater but he eats about anything. His favorite would probably have to be his go-yurts. When we feed them to him he gets so excited he can't stop moving his little hands and we have to shovel one after another or he gets up set. We did recently have the Swine Flu in our household and it is not a fun thing. Channing got hit with it pretty hard and had to miss a week of work. Well I thought I was safe from it and we went to my moms for the weekend and then Hudson got it and I felt so bad for the little guy. Then my brother Nels, my sister Oaklie, my brother-in-law Drew who gave Hudson a blessing, my mom was very sick, my sister Hadlee, my cousin Josie and I got it but not that bad. So my dad and my sister K.T. were the lucky ones of the bunch that didn't get it. I am very sorry to all my family that got it from us....just blame it on Chan. They put Hudson and my mom on the Tami-flu which seemed to help a ton. We are grateful for nothing more serious and that we are feeling well now. I have enjoyed our new ward a lot and everyone has been so nice and helpful. Chan and I both have received ward callings I am on the Relief Society board and Chan is the Elders Quorm Temple Coodinator. We are so blessed right now in our lives and couldn't ask for anything better.
