New Born Pics

2012-01-10T12:54:00.001-08:00

Here are Tyler's new born pics. I love how they turned out. I'm so sad that Max isn't in any of them though. The poor guy got a fever, fell asleep, and was out cold while we were taking the pictures. So, the show went on with out him sadly!

Thanks Kenz!! Your amazing!!

Christmas!

2012-01-10T12:34:00.001-08:00

What a fun Christmas this year was! We were surrounded by family and fun party's galore. Santa made a surprise visit to Grandma Lila's house on Christmas Eve! Oh, boy was Max "star struck". He kept staring at Santa with this big grin the entire time.

Ya, I know. Everyone said I spoiled Max. I always say that this is the last year I'm spoiling him. But then I do it all over again. Maybe now that I have two I won't be as crazy next year.

I surprised Adam with Jim Gaffigan tickets. And I made him a man now by buying him a cordless drill. He also got the usual, clothes, clothes, hats, shoes, and more clothes. Tyler didn't need much, just a stroller and a few toys.

This is Max's mother load.

Sweet Great Grandma Gale with Tyler!

Sweet Baby Tyler

2012-01-08T15:16:00.001-08:00

HERE HE IS!! Tyler Adam Jensen. Born 11/21/11 at 11:24am. Weighing in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 and 1/2 inches long. Labor went great. I had him in just under 3 hours. So far, he's been such a good baby. He sleeps for at least 5 to 6 hours in the night, and usually only cries if he's hungry or tired. He's a very alert baby. He loves to just look at everything going on around him. Max just loves him. He's the best big brother Tyler could ask for. He is so gentle with him and just loves to give him kisses. Tyler will be 7 weeks tomorrow and he doing all the fun adorable things a 7 week old should be doing. Like "cooing", smiling, and making those adorable "O's". I love him so much and I'm so glad he is here and making my life even better!!

This is a sneak peek of his one week old pics!

Chillin with dad.

5 weeks

6 weeks!!

Dinosaur Museum/38 weeks!

2011-11-19T14:26:00.001-08:00

I'm 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant. This pregnancy really has flown by. I'm very surprised it has. I think my life has just been so busy that it has helped it go by so fast. I'm being induced on Monday morning. YAY! And as of last Tuesday, my baby weighs approx. 7 pounds 12 ounces. So, I'm thinking I'm going to be having an over 8 pounder for sure. But as long as the baby comes out healthy with no issues I'll be very blessed!!

We finally went to the Dinosaur Museum a few days before Halloween while Daddy was out of town visiting his Sister. These pics in a way kind of make me feel bad. Looking back at them I can tell in his face that he just didn't feel good. But he was fighting it all the way. I remember getting so frustrated with him there because he kept saying he needed to go potty about every 20 min. And then finally two days later we realized that he had type 1 diabetes. He is such a resilient kid. I'm sure he would of just fought and fought it until his poor body crashed. He had so much fun at the Museum though!! We'll definitely will have to make another trip up again soon.

He LOVED having Grandma Lila tag a long with us too. Thanks grams!!

Life Changing! (again)

2011-11-09T15:53:00.001-08:00

Man oh man, I can not wait until 2011 is over. From beginning to almost the end, this year has been very challenging for my family. My husband was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes back in Jan. It was quite a shock to handle at first. But, my husband has the best attitude about it and it just became the norm to our family about after two weeks of him being diagnosed. Then, this summer I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I tried to control it with diet and exercise, but my body just had too much insulin resistance so I was put on a 24 acting insulin injection called Lantus. (my husband takes it as well) My blood sugars were finally starting to get under control and I was feeling pretty good. Then.......on Halloween night my 3 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. We noticed the weekend before that he was just drinking and peeing like crazy. I'm talking he would guzzle a half a water bottle in one gulp. And he would go to the bathroom about every 15-20 min. We know that those are big symptoms of type 1 diabetes, but we were just searching for other answers that it could be. Like maybe a growth spurt. Or he's just really thirsty. lol We didn't want to believe that he could possibly be type 1. So Halloween morning about an hour after he ate his breakfast, we were getting him ready for his preschool Halloween party that he was just so excited to go to. We decided to check his blood sugar levels with my glucose meter. As we were waiting for the results the meter just read "hi". We have never seen that happen. I thought that maybe my meter was broken. So, I checked my blood sugar and it read just fine. So, we checked Max's again and it just read "hi". By that time the bus was at our house to pick Max up. He was acting just fine so we let him go to school. After he left, Adam and I were researching what it meant when a meter reads "hi". Well, not good. When a meter reads "hi" that means his blood sugars are 600 or above. We were in shock. Normal blood sugars can range from 80-120. Adam has never even been above 600. We just thought it was so weird because Max was acting just fine other than the peeing and drinking a lot. We went to Adam's doc and explained our situation about Max to him. He said, "go get him right now and admit him to the ER at Primary Children's Hospital." So, here we were, on Halloween night. In stead of trick or treating. It's so sad to see your child have to go through anything like this. We were there for a little over 24 hours getting his blood sugars regulated. All the doctors and Nurses were so proud of us for catching it so early. Most kids go into DK(Diabetic Ketoacidosis) which is not fun. They have to be on an IV tap of Insulin and they have high ketones in their urine. Plus, they usually have to stay at the Hospital for at least 4 days. We caught Max in the "honey moon phase" which means that his little body is still producing islet cells. (insulin to break down the blood glucose in the blood stream) Our days now consist of checking Max's blood sugar at least 4 times a day, and giving him insulin injections at least 4 times a day as well. He is actually poking his own finger to check his blood sugar now. And, the shots, well it just depends on his mood on if he'll cooperate or not. But, we are all doing much better and are adapting pretty good to this dramatic change. It's so good that Max can see his daddy giving himself shots too. We are just so blessed that we caught it so soon and that we can manage it so well. I'm also so grateful for the medicine and technology that we have today. I'm so happy that my Husband and Son can still live a normal and healthy life.

A big thanks to everyone that let us go trick or treating at their houses when we got home from the Hospital. We had so many people tell us to come over that we didn't even have enough time to make it to every one's home. It sure made Max's night. He LOVED it. And he got so spoiled too. We are truly blessed by friends and family. :)

Max was optimus prime for Halloween. Or as he likes to call him "octopus prime"

Pumpkin Carving!

2011-10-30T18:55:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite parts of Halloween. Carving pumpkins.

Adam........not so much. I have to do all the hard work because Adam gets a "rash" if he tries to remove all the "guts". :)

Max is also Mr. clean hands. So, he stood on the side lines and watched mom too!

I think Max likes painting more than carving!

Pumpkin Patch!

2011-10-24T16:02:00.000-07:00

Max was super excited to have his Mommy ride the School bus with him to the pumpkin patch at the red barn. This was his first field trip with his preschool and I was pretty excited to tag along and see how he interacts with his peers and teachers. I was sooooo impressed with him. He was so well behaved the WHOLE time!

(trying to hide my belly behind the pumpkin)

Max and the only three girls in his class. I think he might be a little bit of a ladies man. They followed him everywhere he went.

After the pumpkin patch, we went to the bottom of Santaquin canyon where we went for a walk, played in leaves, and ate the best donuts ever from the red barn. It was so gorgeous up there.

Dad was sad that he didn't get to come with us,

so we made another day out of it and went a few days before.

He sure loves that Dad!

Preschool Pic!!

2011-10-19T13:22:00.001-07:00

Looking at this picture just reminds me of how my baby really isn't a baby anymore. I remember looking at him as an infant and wondering what he was going to look like when he's in Preschool. And, I thought that sounded so far away. Well, IT"S HERE! It really is amazing how fast time goes by. He has already changed so much from just the first day he even started preschool. He's improved in his language skills, emotions, colors, shapes, and it goes on and on. It's so sad to see him learn these new things that I didn't teach him. He'll come from school and just start singing songs that he learned that I sadly don't know. But, I'm just such a proud Mommy and couldn't ask for a sweeter child.

Baby #2 update-

This pregnancy was going fabulous until I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes when I was about 30 weeks along. I had to start out by eating a certain amount of carbs per meal and exercising at least 30 min. every day. But, my sugar levels still came out high. So, now i'm on a 24 acting insulin shot called lantus. I have to take 10units every evening and that has helped tremendously. I'm 34 weeks along now, and my baby is nearly 6 pounds already. My doc told me that she will more than likely induce me around 38-39 weeks if everything goes nice and healthy with me and the baby. YYAAAYYY!!! Since i'm on insulin, I have to do non stress tests and ultrasounds every week to check and make sure the baby is healthy and my fluids are good. So far, the baby is doing just fine and is growing nice and healthy!! :)

Dino Park Time!

2011-10-13T19:38:00.001-07:00

Our annual trip has came to go to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden.

We made Max a pirate chart and for every day he went with out an "accident" he put a pirate sticker on his pirate hat until all the stickers were gone. And, this was his reward. DINO PARK!

I'm such a proud Mommy of Max being accident free for over 3 months now! :)

Max's favorite day ever!!! So worth the drive for him!

....just digging for fossils.

Corn Maze!!

2011-09-29T08:15:00.001-07:00

If you haven't been to the new Payson corn maze yet, go check it out. Max had a blast!!

He was having too much fun running around to stop and get his pic taken. Hence the sour face!

3D Ultrasound!

2011-09-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

My doctors office offers a free 3D ultrasound, so we jumped right on that opportunity!! Our cute little bundle of joy didn't really want to corporate well though. He was putting his arm in front of his face so the pic turned out with splotches and spots on his face. He was totally smiling the whole time. I can totally see a lot of Max in him already. We are just getting more and more excited to see this little guy join our world! Only about 10 more WEEKS!!! YAY!!

First Day Of Preschool!

2011-09-09T10:32:00.000-07:00

It was a bitter-sweet day for me. It's just so hard to believe that my baby is now three and growing so fast each and every day. He has been wanting to go to school for a long time now, and it's already here. He was so excited to go to Miss Sherry's class. I'm so proud of my boy for being so brave and just walking right in the classroom with out even looking back. It's been a little hard for me letting him go. But, I'm so excited to watch him learn and grow into such a talented young boy!!

This was such a sweet moment. As all the kids were walking out Max seen me and was shouting, "Mom...Mom...I had so much fun at "peeschool"."

Labor Day!!

2011-09-07T07:20:00.001-07:00

There's nothing quite like Labor Day in Payson. I think it's getting bigger and bigger every year too. Gotta love good 'ole Golden Onion Days!!

Bubba and Unkie at the parade. Adam was trying to embarrass McKayde with all the young ladies at the parade, but it just wasn't working. He's such a ladies man anyway!

Kayla and Maddie!

Max's favorite ride of all time!!!

Big update!!

2011-08-31T11:43:00.000-07:00

WOW!! What a crazy busy summer it has been. I applaud all of you moms out there that can blog like every week. I don't know how you do it!! Well, I think the first step is having a computer that works!! :) Our processor went out back in May and we just barely got a new one last month. So, that's part of my excuse why I haven't blogged in FOREVER. This is a big update on what we've been up to this summer!!

5 YEAR anniversary up in Park City. This over night trip that was much needed. We had a blast in our super nice hotel at Newpark, and we shopped, and shopped, and shopped.

My sweet awesome roomie from college came down to visit. I'm so going to miss her when she moves to Alaska next month. :( I'll start saving my pennies now so I can visit.

Of course Zoo time!!!

Max played "pee wee" sports in Santaquin with Eli this summer. They had wild and crazy fun. The coach definitely had her hands full with Max.

"Fencing"

Just warming up and stretching!!

This pic was taken at 24 weeks. I'm 27 weeks now and much much bigger!

Max's new loft bed that he absolutely loves. We had to make more room in his bedroom for Max's baby brother. a.k.a Dragon Warrior (from Max)

My parents invited my whole side of the fam to Panguitch lake with them. They rented out a cabin for each family. This trip was such a blast. Panguitch Lake is so beautiful. Lots and lots of fishing, boat rides, and just chilling in our super nice cabins. Thanks Mom and Dad.

Riding in the Santaquin parade!!

I just have to brag about my husband. He's is such and inspiration to me. He was diagnosed with type one Diabetes back in January. He has just amazed me, (and the doctors too) on how well he has done. He has brought his A1C down to 5.8. (which is amazingly perfect) And, he decided that he wanted to kick diabetes butt but by running a half marathon in 1:48 min. He has maintained his blood sugar levels so well too. I'm so proud of him and I'm lucky to be his wife!!

Yes finally!! I know...

2011-05-06T20:10:00.000-07:00

Yes, you can say it. I'm a blog slacker!! I promise I'll post once a week for maybe a month from now on. :) That's right, my little stud is now three years old. His bday was on April 2Nd. We went to jump 'n jacks with his friends and family, and came to Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's afterwards where we opened presents and ate cake and ice cream.

Lovin his new ride. Although, the kid can not steer at ALL. He doesn't care though. That's his whole plan is running into everything. (including my foot)

Priceless smile!

Max's cute buddy Eli!

Reg!!

Max's two cousin's Rylee and "buddy"

Max loves his Alphie robot toy! Already Alphie has taught Max his a,b,c's and how to count to 20!

OH BY THE WAY, MAX IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!!!! I KNOW FINALLY!

WE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE FAM AT MAX'S BDAY PARTY! EVERYONE WAS PRETTY SURPRISED. I'M 10 WEEKS ALONG. MY DUE DATE IS NOV. 28!! AND WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!! :) :) :) :)

Life Changing!!

2011-01-25T08:03:00.000-08:00

2011 is and most definitely going to be life changing for my family. Let me go back a few weeks.

A few weeks ago my husband was taking this herb formula. (for a receding hairline) He thought the recommended dosage was 1 tbsp twice a day. He also thought that, "Well I'm going to take 2 tbsp twice a day to maybe quicken things up a bit." Well little did he know that he was supposed to be taking 1 tsp twice a day. So he was taking WAY more than he should. Also, this formula is in a glycerin 200 proof alcohol base. As he was taking this he started getting blurry vision. We added it up and we thought that he has basically been drunk this whole time of taking the herb formula. So, he quit taking it and three days later his vision was getting worse and not only that; he was getting leg cramps to were he couldn't even walk. And, he lost 8lbs in a week. So my thoughts were, it's not the formula and you really need to go to the doctor. I made him an appointment last Thursday, and that's where we heard the news. As Adam was telling the Doc all his symptoms the Doctor then replied with, "Wow, all of those symptoms sound like you might have Diabetes." They went into the lab to test his blood sugar levels. And, let me just tell you that normal range should be between 80 and 120. Adam's was 442. Can you say HOLY CRAPOLA!!! They couldn't even believe that he was driving. They could of hospitalized him. Pretty shocking news that day. We got his blood work back this week, and he is Type 1. So, now our days are full of the pic above. Checking his blood sugar more then 10 times a day. Taking 4 to 10 units of insulin 3 to 5 times a day. I think my husband is such an amazing person. He has kept his composure so well. If it were me, I would be so depressed and think my life was over. And all Adam said was, "Ya, it sucks I have give myself shots all day for the rest of my life, give up Mountain Dew and eating whatever I want, but it could be a lot worse." I grew up with my Mom, Aunt and Grandma having type 2 Diabetes, so I know quite a bit about Diabetes. I think this year is going to be very challenging, EXPENSIVE, healthy, and growing closer together as a family. This is definitely a year we won't forget. We are also so very blessed that we found this out now before something very serious could of happened.

New Do!!!

2011-01-12T18:24:00.001-08:00

I think being a hair stylist/Mommy, you just have to keep changing your kids hair. Either that's the conclusion I've come to know or that he's just my Ginny pig. One of the two. But, none the less that Mohawk sure does fit his rambunctious personality!!!!

Christmas 2010

2011-01-03T21:44:00.000-08:00

What a fun Christmas this year was. We spent it at Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's house. It was so fun to have them there watching Max open his gifts. He is totally at the perfect age for Christmas. He loved learning about Jesus's birthday, and of course Santa bringing him presents!! Now every time he sees a gift wrapped his thoughts are. "Jesus's house (which is our church) Santa, Dinosaurs??" So I think he's got a pretty good Idea of what everything is about. :) He was a lot of fun this year!! I sure do love my little Dinosaur.

Adam and I were just too excited and couldn't take it

so we had to wake Max up at around 7:30!

YYYAAAYYYY......Dinosaurs. (as if he didn't have enough)

Were gunna RIIIDE the Dinosaur Train!!!

Lately Max is loving Sharks and sea creatures just as much as Dinosaurs.

Kisses....

Mike and Beth

Grandpa and Grandma Jensen

2010-12-23T20:44:00.001-08:00

Our finished product!! Max is quite the little artist.

Ya, put a little on and ya eat a little too. :)

We are concentrating very hard on this masterpiece.

I hope you all have a safe and merry Christmas!!!

"kissmas" lights

2010-12-20T21:07:00.001-08:00

Our annual visit to the festival of lights. I knew Max would love it because of course they have Dinosaurs. In the pic above was his expression as we were entering the lights. "look mom kissmas lights, kissmas lights." That's pretty much what he was saying the entire time. This boy is so much fun! I am loving each Christmas more and more with the dude in my life.

Oh, and that big yellow mark on his head is a bruise from when he encountered the corner of the doorway. It was a pretty big ouch for a while. Lets just say Mom and Dad were giving lots and lots of kisses to make it better. :)

Halloween 2010

2010-11-04T12:47:00.001-07:00

I think Halloween is one of those Holiday's that is just packed full of parties and fun. It is my favorite Holiday. We had a party at my sis in law's house and my Mother in law and I decided to make fun cupcakes and brownies for the party. It was so much fun!! My nieces helped with a few as well. I think they turned out so cute.

I always have to "gut" the pumpkins when get ready to carve because my pansy of a husband is "allergic". Haha! No, he really is to the inside of the Pumpkin. So, he gets to carve instead. :)

Max was a Dragon and now he wants to wear it everyday. He had so much fun Trick 'or Treating!! He was the cutest little Dragon on the block!

Pumpkin Patch

2010-10-20T20:48:00.001-07:00

Ever since Max saw the movie Nightmare Before Christmas, he has been dying to get a pumpkin. The Big Red Barn was the perfect place. We had so much fun!! The weather was perfect too!!

ENJOY!!!!

2010-10-12T21:13:00.000-07:00

Dinosaur Park!!

2010-10-06T09:46:00.001-07:00

Oh yeah, that's right. Dino park. If any of your kids are into Dinosaurs, you have to come to this place. I found it online and i'm so glad I did. Max LOVED it so much. They have it haunted right now for Oct. so Max was a little iffy on some parts to go into, but none the less he had a blast. It was totally worth the drive to Ogden. :)

Maxaroo

2010-09-16T18:18:00.000-07:00

I thought I would talk about this kiddo here. I am just loving each and every stage that he goes through. Max is about two and a half now, and has energy like no other. This kid just goes......and goes................and goes. People wonder why he still takes three hour naps. Well, that's WHY! This kid just brightens my day every morning with a soft whispering, "Hi Mommy!! ake up(wake up)" I thought I would type a few of Max's favorite things that he likes to do.

1: He LOVES Dinosaurs!!! He can't go one day with out playing with a dinosaur or watching Jurassic Park, Ice Age 3, Dinosaur train, land before time, or Night at the museum.(if you know any other Dinosaur movies, please let me know)

2: Max loves playing hide n' go seek. More like he just loves me to chase him, but he makes me hide in the pantry sometimes. (He loves to be chased by everyone and anyone.)

3. He's talking more and more it's so crazy. He's starting to put words together to form sentences. Like for example the sentence that I hear the most every day is, "Momma, Popsicle more peez? peez?" But I think his favorite word of course is Dinosaur.

4: He loves to tell stories for bedtime. Our bedtime routine includes: Max trying to brush his teeth, book reading,tummy tickles, Jesus(which means prayer), and story telling. He makes Adam and I lay our heads on his belly, while we all say random words that somehow make a story. (you have to witness it for yourself it's the cutest thing ever.)

5: I just love watching Max play with Ike. They are seriously the best of buddies. Max knows Ike can't resist socks, so he grabs one laying around and shoves it in Ike face but not letting go. Then he takes off with it so that Ike will chase him. I know Ike can easily take it, but he just chases Max around knowing that he's just a kid. I catch them snuggling or Max body slamming Ike, and he just takes it and takes it.

I love this kid so much. I can't believe how much time flies. It seriously just seems like yesterday that I was feeding him a bottle. He's definitely a hard kid 80% of the time, but I wouldn't have it any other way. And I just love how he has Dad's crooked smile!!!!!

Palisade Trip

2010-09-12T20:39:00.001-07:00

What a great way to end the summer!!

We had such a fun time with Adam's family at Palisade!

Fun four wheeling trails, awesome golfing,

and perfect weather to play in the lake!!!

GOLDEN Onion Days!!

2010-09-07T21:11:00.000-07:00

Riding the CHOOCHOO at the Carni!!

By far, Max's fav ride. (and Adam's)

Enjoying the not so cool Parade!

Was it just me, or did the Payson Parade kinda suck?

It was basically full of advertising.

There wasn't even any horsey's!!! :(

Enjoying the boat ride with his cuz Kayla!!

Family Pics!!!!

2010-09-01T21:22:00.000-07:00

We had our family pics taken in July, and I'm so glad that I have a bunch of Max actually smiling. :)Most of the time Max was running away from the camera, so I think they turned out really good considering she had a two year old on her hands. Thanks so much Jori!!!
Max must think he's on time-out. :)

Sleep Over Time!!

2010-07-09T14:08:00.000-07:00

Adam's four nieces slept over for the night few weekends ago.

Max was loving all this playtime with his cousins. He's definitely a show off for the ladies!

We watched movies, cut hair, and just goofed off "almost" all night long! FUN times! :)

Ry shoved a stuffed bulldog in Max's shorts.

He thought it was pretty cool, and didn't want to take it out.

Disneyland Trip!!

2010-06-26T20:56:00.000-07:00

We took Max to Disneyland a few weeks ago, and had a blast. Adam's parents, sister and her four daughters went with us. It was so much fun!! This was Max's favorite ride by far. BBUUUZZZ and "WOOLIE"

It was the sweetest thing. Max gave Pluto so many hugs!

This was basically Max's face on every ride. Just so nonchalant.

(except for the buzz ride)

Loved ToonTown

Max LOVED the SSHHAARRKKSSS at sea world.

(and that was about the ONLY thing he did love there.)

I think we went through this exhibit at least three time. It's pretty cool!

Loving the beach. Just playing in the sand with his cuz!

My sweet Mother in law!! New Port beach is so beautiful!!

The weather was perfect.

Summer Craziness ness!!

2010-06-11T14:08:00.000-07:00

My sis in law Bethany was married on June 4Th.

The cake eating didn't last very long until they were smearing each other's faces with frosting!!

Kenz and I. She's such and amazing photographer!!

The adorable newlyweds!!

My beautiful sister in law's. Oh..... and my hot husband!!

Max had a very hard day of the wedding. The only thing the poor guy wanted to do was go play on the playground. But, he had to be the ring boy, "attempt" to walk down the aisle, and take LOTS of pics! Don't let this adorable face fool you, because he was an absolute terror that day. But I still love him none the less.

My sweet little niece!! Her and Max are best buddies!

Nice one Caysie!!

My roommate from collage Danielle came down to stay for a night with me. We went out for sushi and to a movie!! She's such a fun person to be around. I hope one day I can visit her in the ol' AK one of these days!!

We also got some jumpin'jack action in for Max as well. OK....for us too!

Zoo Time!!

2010-04-19T13:14:00.001-07:00

We went to the Zoo last weekend. And it was a perfect day to go, because the weather has been so nice. We invited Max's buddy Maddox to come along too. They had a blast. This pic was on the way home.

Gotta love kids and water!!

...cute boys!! I'm such a lucky girl!!!

Holy picture overload!!!

2010-04-14T20:40:00.000-07:00

YES, I know. I went a little over board with the pics this post, but I'm just a Mom that loves her kid. :) We had a fun Easter this year. Max is at such a fun age.

He loved his basketball hoop that the bunny brought to him! :)

Max turned the big fat TWO on April 2nd. He actually loved all of his toys so much. I thought he was going to be full of tantrums and hitting, but every present he opened was with with a loud "WOW". Too cute!!

I couldn't even get the cake down before he started pulling off the Toy Story toys off. And did I mention this kids loves Toy Story. He said "Buzz" (for buzz light year) Before he said Mommy!

Max is finally getting into puzzles. He has to put them together first thing in the morning everyday!

He's showing you that he's two with his two fingers in his mouth. haha

We bought Max a slide for his b-day. I wasn't too impressed with it since it looked like it was for the size of a 6 month old. But Max loved it none the less.

We also took Max and his buddies to the Living Planet Aquarium. I tried to get some good pics, but the kids were going crazy there. Max loved it so much.

Oh man, look at that cute boy Eli. He's so scrumptious!

Trying to touch the Stingray

It's so crazy to me that Max is already two. He is the most energetic, love able(when he wants to be), athletic, rambunctious, determined, smart, coordinated, giving Mommy and Daddy a run for there money everyday kid. I love him so much, and I'm such a proud Mom. I wouldn't trade our sweet little moments for anything in the world that we have together. I love you Maxaroo!!

OH, by the way I chopped my hair off. I felt a little boyish at first, and it took me a good week to get used to it. But I absolutely love it!!

What we've been up to!

2010-03-10T20:29:00.000-08:00

Don't let this adorable cute face fool you. He's not quite two yet, but is definetaly in the terrible two stage!! But we still love him to pieces, even though he did flush my life saving ear plugs down the toilet! :(

You can't go wrong with Chuck E Cheese's

This was back on New Year's Eve. Max is just hangin with his buddy Reggie.

Man, they have the best toys!!

Some good ol' four wheeling time at Grandpa's house!!

So, I was downstairs doing my dvd workout, and Max usually comes down to try and copy my sweet P90X moves, but stayed quietly up stairs the whole time. When I finished I went up there to see what kind of Shenanigans he was into and found him in the tub having so much fun with all of the blankets! I guess it could of been a lot worse right?

Very sad times!!! :(

2010-01-12T12:21:00.000-08:00

This happy boy wasn't so happy last Sunday. I was doing my hair in the bathroom and Max was playing with his toys on the ground and some how pulled my Chi flat iron cord down and the iron landed right on top of his foot for a good 5 seconds. I didn't even notice that is was on his foot until he started screaming. I grabbed him looking to find where he was burned and found that his foot had a huge white flesh line going across the top. I ran him upstairs to put his foot under running water while Adam came in from hearing Max screaming at the top of his lungs. After about an hour of finally calming him down we put some aloe vera on it. Luckily, Max still had some Lora tab left over from his surgery, and when that kicked in he took a 5 HOUR nap. When he woke up he had a huge water blister that popped later that night on it's own. He has been acting just fine, but of course as you Mom's know I feel SOOO bad. I called the doc to see if there's anything I could get for it, and they phoned in a prescription cream for burns. It's just so sad when your little one gets an ouchie, but my little man is so tough. He was running around that night. I showed him these pics of his foot. and he kept pointing at his foot saying "ouch" so so sad :(

This is after the water blister popped!!

OuR ChRiStMaS!!!!!!!!

2010-01-09T10:58:00.000-08:00

Max LOVES the movie Toy Story, so Grandma and Grandpa

had to get him a Buzz Light Year toy that he goes crazy for.

Dear Mr.Santa

2009-12-14T21:36:00.000-08:00

Ok, you just gotta love this pic. We decided to go to my father in law's Christmas lunch party. And Max totally loved Santa last year. This year.......not so much. As you can see in this pic. As soon as I set him on Santa's lap he took one good look at the crazy fake beard and went into the "O" zone. I totally need to send this pic in on the Ellen Degeneres show for her funny X-Mas photo's segment.

We thought we owed it to Max to go to the Festival of lights. He LOVED it!!!

It's so crazy that Max is already 20 months old. He's getting such a cute personality. He's talking more and more everyday. (in Max language that is) And he is such a crack up to be around. This kid can balance, tumble, jump, turn in circles, swing, and land without a single scratch.....most of the time. I love this kid so much and I just can't get enough of him.

........I think Adam loved it even more. :)

.........Ok so did I!

Snow Ball Fight!!

2009-11-30T21:46:00.000-08:00

I was bored so I decided to make this video.

I hope you think it's as funny as I do. :) Enjoy......

The annual Jensen Halloween party!!

LOL Adam's Mom was a fat Rabbit!!

Adam's sis Lyn and Eric!!

And yes, at the last min. Adam decided he was going to be Michael Jackson. And of course, he won the best costume. And I thought my awesome Pirate costume would win. RATS!!!!

All night long Adam....oops I mean Michael was talking in a high pitched voice and was harassing his nephew(who is 10) and all of his little friends. We definitely had to keep an eye on him for sure. Max was also terrified of him!! He would freak out if Adam tried to pick him up.

Pumpkin Patch!!

2009-10-14T11:04:00.001-07:00

On the ol' tractor ride sitting on Daddy's lap.

Trying to get a cute pic on the bench, but Max was not having it!

Don't get him wrong he loved the pumpkin patch, but LOVED the horsey!

Zoo Time!!

2009-08-24T10:46:00.001-07:00

This was on the way home. Max and Daddy were wore out from the Zoo. This was Max's first time going and he loved it. His favorite animal was of course the monkey's. He was calling them Kitty's. Every time the monkey's would swing around, Max would just giggle. (so freakin cute)

Riding the carousel.

They had a baby Giraffe at the Zoo. Did you know there tongues are 18inches long?

The famous lion drinking fountain.

These are just some funny random pics I took the other day.

Max loves wearing my head bands.

He could be a cute girl right??

............Nah!!

Ani's 4th Birthday Party. What a bunch of cute kids.

Strawberry Res. Max loves swimming.

Watching the Fireworks in Spanish Fork. Max loved them, but before they started he was crazy out of control. He would run up to people on their blankets while saying "Hi, Hi, Hi" and then he would run off to someone else and do the same thing. He didn't even care to know where we were.

Family BBQ party on the 24th.

Our 4th Of July!

2009-07-07T14:49:00.000-07:00

Max watching the fireworks with Uncle Dustin.

Our cute niece Joss!

Jackson Hole Trip!!!

2009-07-01T20:19:00.000-07:00

My roommate from college Danielle lives in Jackson Hole now, and she had her wedding reception up there on the 11th. So we decided to go on up to the ol' Jackson Hole. This was on the way up,(that's my mom) and it's supposed to be a six hour drive, but some how "we" ended up driving 80 miles the wrong way. Don't ask how we got off track. lol. But anyway, we made there in 8 hours instead. It was a long drive.

Max only slept 45 minutes the whole entire drive. And surprisingly he was awesome for the drive.

The beautiful Snake River.

I just love all of the shoppes in Jackson Hole. Check it out, freakin big foot.

Chillin in the park. This was right before it started pouring rain on us.

Danielle works at a restaurant downtown called "The marry piglets" funny I know. All of the artwork in the restaurant has drawings of pigs on the walls. It was Mexican food and I loved it.

The morning of the reception. I was able to curl Danielle's lovely hair for her. Can anyone tell she has hair extensions???? No.....? I know, I'm so good at them huh? haha

We also went to the Ripley's Believe it or not museum. This is crazy. look at this crazy shrunken head.

Some Jackson Hole folk playin the fiddle.

My mom, me, and Rita "Danielle's mom" We just knew they would become instant friends.

Danielle and her hubby Daniel.

Okay, this was seriously one of the funnest reception's I have ever been to. It was so layed back. We danced all night!!!

Thanks Danielle for such a fun trip. And congrats on your marriage!!! Love ya!

Family Pics!!

2009-06-20T15:01:00.000-07:00

Gotta love that dimple.

Thanks Kenz for the awesome pics!!!

1st time at the park!!

2009-06-14T21:36:00.001-07:00

So I know I'm a bad Mom. I waited until Max was 14 months old until I took him to the park. Oh well, he had so much fun anyway!

Adam made a new buddy at the park. lol!

3 Years and counting........

2009-06-08T20:28:00.001-07:00

Yup! That's right. We had our 3 year anniversary on June 3rd.

But really we say it's been 8 years because we started dating back in Dec. of 2001.

We went out to the Cheesecake Factory for Dinner. Very delicious.

I just want to tell everyone 10 things that I love about my husband.

1-He taught me about the gospel and later Baptized me!

2- He is an amazing father.(very hands on)

3- He is very patient with me.(I'm always in the biggest hurry ever)

4- He keeps me laughing all the time. (even when I have a bad day, he knows just what to say to make me laugh it off)

5- He's definitely getting their as being a handy man. LOL

6-He loves listening to my boring days.

7- I know I can ask him any sports question, and I will get a right answer within seconds.

8- He hasn't lost his amazingly sexy looks with age. Haha

9- He keeps me wanting to stay healthy with all of his health nut goals.

10- He always finds a way to make me feel so good about myself.

I love Adam so much and I'm very blessed to have him in my life for eternity!

Cherry Creek Race!

2009-06-03T10:40:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we went out to Cherry Creek for the desert race. Both of my Bros are racing now. I can't take credit for this great pic of my brother Dustin coming through the creek, but isn't it awesome? Dustin took 5th in his class, and my brother Blaine took 8th in his class. Not the best.......but pretty good.

Beth $ (a.k.a. Adam's little sis) She decided she wanted to come out to the race with us. It was so hot out there. Beth was so sun burnt. She had blisters all over her shoulders.

My bro Blaine pitting in for gas.

Sad past couple of weeks for the little guy!! :(

2009-05-21T22:10:00.001-07:00

Yeah!!! I think I look more scared than Maxaroo.

Anyway, Max had two surgery's back to back.

His fist one was a couple of weeks ago at Primary Children's Hospital

where he had an Orchiopexy Surgery. (undescended testicles) Everything went

really well. I can't believe how good he bounced back to his normal self.

His second surgery was on Tuesday. Nothing too serious, he just had to

have tubes put in his ears, due to the ongoing ear infections since he was 4 months old.

I never thought that my son would have to have two surgery's in his fist year of his

life. But we are so blessed to have everything go well for us, and were glad Max is

a happy and healthy boy now!!

We love you Max!!

We were able to keep his oxygen mask.

This was just about 6 hours of post operation!

Birthday's and such!!

2009-05-07T20:35:00.001-07:00

Cute little Eli just turned 1!!

Max's cousin Jillian had her b-day at chucke cheese's

Okay, I had to put this pic on. Yea thats right, Max totally smacked her bumb!!

We were laughing sooo hard, but the lady had a good spirit about it. LOL!

Happy Birthday Jilli!!

Following up on Max's B-day, we also went to the Lehi pool!!

Maddox sharing his toys with Max at his 1st b-day party!!

2009-04-03T15:58:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my baby is one!! He has been such a joy in our
lives and has definitely been keeping us super busy this past year!!
We are so blessed to have such a sweet, SENSITIVE, funny, rambunctious,
and cheezy boy!
We love you Max and Happy Birthday!!

....Max giving the stink eye

This kid loves Elmo!!

.................and balls!!

Okay, he loved the icing, but was not getting messy enough, so
daddy decided to push his hand in the cake...then he freaked out
and was done with it.

Thanks for the cute jacket Aunty!!!

I FINALLY WON SOMETHING!!!

2009-03-18T07:10:00.000-07:00

My mom and I are totally obsessed with this show. (Good Things Utah)
We have even been in the audience before too.
Anyway, they always have contests on their show. I have been watching for
over three years now and have never won anything.(my mom won a movie about a year ago)
Well, my luck has changed because I won a clothes makeover!!!!!! And.........
I'M GOING TO SHOW OFF MY NEW OUTFIT ON TV!!!
So I will be on Thursday at 10:00am on channel 4.
The segment is Alicia Richmond on Chic on a Shoestring, and they have the models come on and they talk about the outfit's that we will be wearing.
I hope you guys can watch me!
(can you tell I'm just a little excited?)
I hope I don't biff it.

HAPPY ST.PATTY'S DAY

2009-03-17T09:09:00.001-07:00

Finally a little update!!!!!

2009-03-11T20:38:00.000-07:00

Sorry everyone for taking so long to blog, but I have an excuse why. I lost my camera for like 5 weeks. I tore apart the whole house and I looked in every place you can think of! (I even looked in the the paper shredder. lol) Finally, my wonderful husband set my mind at peace when he found the camera under the drivers seat in my car. Why it was there? I have no idea.
So I haven't been able to take pics lately. My bad!!! I swear having a baby really takes away your memory.
I took these pics a while ago. Max and Ike are finally friends instead of enemies.
When we first brought Max home, Ike did not want to have anything to do with Max. He even snapped at him a couple of times. And Max was pretty curious, but pretty scared of Ike. When Max started walking they finally became buddies. They love looking out my bedroom window together. And Max thinks it's soooo funny to chase Ike, and he loves to "try" and drink out of the dog bowl. One thing that they both love is giving each other kisses!!(maybe not such a good thing.)

Max is walking!!!!

2009-01-25T13:38:00.000-08:00

Yeah that's right my little 9 month'r is walking. He took his first steps a few weeks ago, and now he's everywhere. I thought he was a handful before, but now he's a major handful.

Now that he's moving around, he bumps his head about 20 times a day.

Aquarium

2009-01-25T13:24:00.000-08:00

We went to the Aquarium for Reggie's B-day
Max loved it. I can't believe Reggie is two already
Happy B-day little guy!!!

OuR X-mAs

2008-12-28T20:27:00.000-08:00

X-mas is just not the same anymore when you have a kid.
It's sooooo much better. If any of you know Max well, you know he's not a smiler. Well, on Christmas all he did was smile. Every time he saw a camera he would give us the cheesiest smile. (as you can see) So I had to post a bunch of them because this just might be a faze. I ended up taking over 70 pics of him on Christmas.

Max and his closest cousin Joss!!!
She loves to give Max kisses.

2008-12-28T20:13:00.000-08:00

Max's two cousins Jilly and Anni helping him
open his ball pit!!! YYEEAA!!

Adam and his bro in law with they're matching sweaters.

The Dam Race

2008-11-24T20:44:00.000-08:00

My brother started racing desert races two years ago. And almost every race he has placed is his class. This race was called the "dam" race because it was down in Page AZ. It was also the last race of the year, and my bro took 1st place in his class and maybe 7th overall. This is his cute daughter McKayla and you can see that the trophy is as tall as she is. We were gone for a whole weekend and yes I left my little guy home with daddy and I probably sent his over 30 texts to check on him. I missed him so much but it was so good to get away and lay out in the nice weather and cheer for my bro. Congrats Dustin!!!!

This is was everyone's face look like after racing in the sand for 3 hours.
We call it the dirt mustache.

Dustin is the one in the back wearing blue.

Halloween pics of Max

2008-11-02T20:11:00.000-08:00

Max and his two buddies Eli and Reggie!!!

Halloween

2008-11-02T19:55:00.000-08:00

So in Adam's family it's basically tradition that all the grandkids (well almost all of them) wear this really cute lion costume that Adam's mom made years ago. So Max decided to give it a go.

These are Max's too cousins. Its funny because Jillian is wearing a boy costume and McKayde is wearing a girl costume.

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-16T20:54:00.000-07:00

So we went to a pumpkin patch with all of our Scott buddies.
I think Max was just wondering what was going on the entire time.
He is just looking like a little boy more and more.
I really don't think Adam and I ever had a life until Max came along.
He makes life so much more fun now!! (that's for sure)

Six months old!!

2008-10-06T21:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry my pics are not in the order that I wanted them SSoooooo.....My bad!!

He's 6 months old!!!!!!!

2008-10-06T20:35:00.000-07:00

What a joy the last 6 months have been.
life really fly's by when you have a little one to share
your life with. It only seems like yesterday that I was getting ready to go to bed
and a balloon popped in my belly(which is not fun going to the hospital if you break your water before). This little guy was determined to be born on his due date!!
Even though he gave us a little scare being in the NICU for four days, he's such a happy healthy baby. We are so blessed to have this chunky guy in our lives.

One week old.

One month old and already into sports like daddy.

Max and Maddox's first time chillin out of the ol' bellies.

Dew Tour!!!!

2008-09-14T20:10:00.000-07:00

We went to the Dew tour with Adam's sister and Nephew McKayde.
McKayde loves Ryan Sheckler. This is a pic of him and his little bro after the
competition. He ran right over and gave him a hug. It was so cute.
It was alot of fun watching a bunch of hott skateboarder's do there thang!!

Ryan Sheckler has won this the last three years, and there was a 14 year old kid named
Chaz Ortiz that beat him this year.
It was his first Skate against the big guys in the dew tour.
He was awesome.

WOW that's alot of ducks!!!

2008-09-14T19:45:00.000-07:00

So Adam and I decided to go and feed the ducks with Max.
We went over to Spring Lake and saw some ducks near the edge of the water.
We started feeding them and Max was loving it.

Then a few more came over to join the party.

Before we knew it all of them where coming over to chill with us.
(I was starting to get a little scared.)

Things started to get a little more crazy. They started chasing us!!!
Even though I was freaking out, Max kept his cool. He was shouting out to the ducks with
his OOOWWW's and HHHHMMMM's.

So the meaning of the story is, if you want to get rid of your expired bread,
take it to Spring Lake. Those ducks over there are starving.

We're Buddies!!!!

2008-09-07T20:52:00.000-07:00

This is our little play date. We are determined to make them
best buddies. In fact, these two butter balls make
each other cry all the time. If one gets going, the other will get worse.
But these two love chillin by the pool together.
We just love little Maddox.

Summer Times

2008-08-17T10:32:00.000-07:00

This was my mom's B-day dinner at Tucano's.
She just turned the big five-O......oops, sorry mom.

Jossy and Maxaroni...oh and Adam.

Rylee is so good and cute with babies.

I can't believe the summer is coming to an end.
It just flies by when you
have a kid.
There are just so many things you try to cram in before it comes to an end, then it's
over before you know it. :(

2008-08-17T10:21:00.000-07:00

What a bunch of dorks!!!

Joss is the boss

What an awesome hot tub!

2008-08-10T11:14:00.000-07:00

Going to the Temple

2008-08-10T10:58:00.000-07:00

As many of you know, Adam baptized me a year ago last April.
A few weeks ago we went to the Salt Lake Temple, where we were sealed as a family, which was so special because we also sealed Max to us. Even though he was screaming the entire time, it was still a special day. There are so many words to describe how that day went, but the fist one that pops into my mind is eternal.
I have so many people that love and support me, and so I just want to say thanks to all of you, and I love you too!!!!

Aniston's 3rd Birthday

2008-07-16T20:44:00.000-07:00

Aniston is Adam's sister Caysie's daughter.
She is so dang cute and if anyone has heard her cute
little voice...you just can't help but fall inlove with it.
She loves playing dress up and loves fancy Nancy.
Which I never knew who fancy Nancy was until I went to
her party.

Max wanted to be fancy Nancy too!!

Max's first camping trip!!!

2008-07-16T20:32:00.000-07:00

Just look at that belly......

I absolutely love this picture.

This was on the way home. It was cold in the morning so we
had him all bundled up, but I think he was sweating.
(over-protective mommy! haha)

4Th of July

2008-07-07T21:59:00.000-07:00

So it was Max's fist 4th of July. He slept through
the fireworks but all in all he had a blast.

We were all so excited to see baby Joss for the first time.
She's so cute and is about 8 week apart from max.
Adam's sister and family are here for the summer and
we just don't want them to leave again. Max sure loves his new cousin.

Fun times with Max

2008-07-07T21:44:00.000-07:00

Max and his buddy Eli

This little guy is just getting to be so much fun.
I just love dressing him up and taking pics of him. But he's getting worn out.
It's just crazy to me that he is already three months, and the
fun times are just starting. Everyday he does something new,
wether it is a funny thing or a fussy thing, he's always surprising us!!

Max's Big Day!!!!

2008-06-08T21:12:00.000-07:00

Max and his little buddy Maddox

2008-06-08T20:39:00.000-07:00

Max got blessed on Saturday, and it was a special time.
We had his blessing at Adam's parents house and we had a BBQ after.
Our close friends and family were there. It was so nice
and Adam did an excellent job blessing little Max.
Max was being fussy right before we started
and the second Adam held our little guy to start the blessing he fell right asleep.
What a spiritual day!!!!

This is my Grandma and Grandpa Reece.
Max is named after Grandpa Max!!

This is Adam's Grandma. My Grandma and her have
been best friends for over 30 years.

Fun Time At 5 Weeks

2008-05-11T21:04:00.000-07:00

We seriously can't believe this little man is almost 6 weeks! It is going by so fast, & he looks like he is getting bigger & bigger every time we look at a picture of him. It has been life changing but we are so glad he is here, and the last 5 1/2 weeks have been awesome!

Max & Maddox, Out of the Belly!

2008-05-11T20:40:00.000-07:00

Our friends Derik & Hayley had a little boy named Maddox, & this was the 1st time that Max & Maddox both got to hang out, out of the belly! Pretty much Max slept the whole time & little Maddox chilled out by his buddy. We are so excited that these two get to grow up together, they will talk about many things to each other, from what formula their moms are giving them to how many poops they took in a day. And then as they get older they will talk to each other about their 1st zit to Max's 1st makeout session with Maddox's sister, j/k.....Anyways, we had alot of fun this night and we will always remember the 1st time they got to hang out, out of the belly!

1st Bath

2008-04-27T13:45:00.001-07:00

The other day Max got his 1st "REAL" bath! He really wasn't as excited as we were but he managed. That clean clear water he was in quickly went to yellow pee water, that thing always seems to happen when ever the air touches this guy's junk. At the end we had alot of fun & got to laugh about it.

1 Week!

2008-04-10T20:34:00.001-07:00

Once again our awesome friend Kenzie took some amazing pictures for us! I can't believe our little guy is already a week old. We love him so much! Thanks Kenz!!!
