Jenson's Birthday Surpise!


This weekend Cam and I decided to go ahead and get Jenson his first dirt bike. As Cam said...what have we opened the door too?? :) Since Jenson could first speak, he has talked about motorcycles and lights up whenever he sees them. He can even tell you which Harley is a Fatboy, Sportster, Softail, etc. He even gave motorcycles his own word... "Bilos". We have no idea where he came up with this, but a few months ago he started to call them motorcycles...broke my heart. Every now and then he slips and calls them "Bilos". Jenson's Birthday is not until next month and it is going to be so hard to not tell him!! I think Cam and I are just as excited about this new adventure as Jenson will be!! Wish us luck!!

Stonycreek 2009

We went to Stonycreek for the second year in a row to pick out Jenson's pumpkin. This year was quite different from last year...last year, Jenson wasn't afraid of any of the inflatables and this year he wouldn't do them...too much wind blowing in his face! But we did all sorts of other things instead...

...of course there was the pumpkin train.

Don't forget the duck races!

Checking out the Pumpkin Tree

You CAN"T make me go in there!!!

Ready to go on a hay ride to find my pumpkin!

This is the one!! Doesn't matter that Daddy might throw his back out tryin to carry it...this is the one I want!! Cam did try to convince him to get a smaller one...but...no such luck!

Nothing like getting a new airbrush tattoo of a dragon!! He originally wanted a persian cat!!! Nanna and I talked him out of that one thank goodness!!

Pony rides!
All in all it was a good time at Stonycreek!!

Jenson meeting Nolan

Jenson was SO excited to meet his new cousin Nolan when he finally arrived!! All through Aunt Erin's pregnancy he called him "Noodle Mac and Cheese"...he thought this was a good name since his best friend at school was already named Nolan. The night before Jenson met Nolan, he wanted to draw a picture for him. Cam and I were worried after seeing the picture...it looked like an evil dog. We thought that Jenson thought Nolan was a puppy!! So we were a little nervous for the two to meet. Jenson was really nervous around him the first time he saw him.

Jenson starts to get closer....

He finally gets close to Erin and smiles for a picture!

And finally one with Uncle Travis!

Jenson finally calls Noodle Mac and Cheese Nolan, but thinks his choice for the name is a good one too!!

My First Blog Post


Today I decided to create a blog for my son Jenson. I got the idea from a friend who had hers published to give to hear kids instead of keeping a baby book. The baby book thing in theory started off great and then dwindled as I realized that being a mom was EXHAUSTING and any extra time I had to scrapbook, well, let's just say I would rather nap! It's been almost four years and the empty scrapbooks stay in the closet. So hopefully this will help me journal the day to day life of our family's journey. Wish me LUCK!
