Oh Christmas Tree!

 
We went to the mountains last week and cut our first Christmas tree. The kids were really excited. Brett got to help cut down the trees and was really excited.

Thanksgiving at Grandma's

 
This year for Thanksgiving we went to grandma and grandpa Jensen's house. Anlise learned how to climb the stairs and the kids loved the warmer weather. We are glad we could spend time with them.

Pre-Holiday Photos

 
We decided to take a few pratice pictures. Analise was excited to sit in the chair.

California Dreaming

 
We also went to hte beach and tide pools while we were there. Brett was really excited that he was able to see a starfish. Analise on the other hand wasn't thrilled to be cooped up in the stroller.

Disneyland

 
While we were in California we got to go to Disneyland. The kids really had a good time. Analise even enjoyed the rides. Brett got to go on Nemo his long awaited ride that he has beentalking about for months. It was really hot and a bit crowded but we had a good time.

Happy Happy Birthday

 
The day after Analise's birthday we had AUnt Lisa and Uncle John over to Aunt Janice's and had a lttle party complete with present and cake and Ice cream. Boy Analise did not waste anytime. She knew exactly whqt to do with the cake. She loved having everybody around. We are so glad she is in our family and what a blessing she is o us.

Analise's First Birthday Take One

 
We went to California for Analise's first birthday. Daddy was hunting so we went ot have fun. We stayed at Aunt Janice's. We went to the OC swapmeet on her birthday, what gorl doesn't like to shop. Then we went to Fashion Island for lunch and walked around and then on to the beach. Analise loved the feel of the sand between her toes and fingers. Then decided to try and eat it. We then went to Hamburger Habit and they gave hera free meal.

Wishing Star Farm And Pumpkin Patch

 
 
 
We went on a field trip with Brett's class to Wishing Star Farm. He loved it. He got to ride the ponies, feed the animals, and take a hay ride and pick a pumpkin. Analise got to go also. She really loved all the animals, especially the pig Emma. She tried to make friends with her. We had a great time and both kids came home and took a nap. Lucky mommy.

It's Autumn Time, It's Autumn Time..

 
 
The leaves are turning colors. Last weekend we took a drive to see the pretty fall leaves. Brett was so excited to go. He loved looking at themand collecting some to make pictures for his grammy and grandma and grandpa. The sky was blue and the colors were awesome. We love the fall time.

11 Months Old

 
 
Analise is growing up so quickly. I can't believe she is already 11 months old. She thinks she is a big girl also.
She loves to be outside and doing whatever her big brother does.

First Trip To The ER

 
Wednesday Spet. 24th Analise gave us the scare of our lives. She stopped breathing and turned blue. Maurey quickly picked her up and started to get her to breathe. Thank goodness she started breathing again. 911 was called amnd they came. They took her to the hospital. Not sure what cause it at this point. But we are so grateful that she is okay and is still here with us. Brett was really brave through this whole ordeal.

Dove Anyone?????

 
Maurey went dove hunting and whenhe came back Maurey Jr. (Brett) was so excited. He wanted to pose with the
bounty that his daddy shot. Brett loves the outdoors so lucky for Maurey.

First Carousel Ride

 
When we were at the zoo Aunt Brenda took Analise on her first carousel ride. She liked to play with the horse but did not like it when it started moving.

You Belong in the zoo...

 
 
 
Over Labor Day weekend we went to the Colorado Springs zoo with Aunt Brenda. Brett and Analise had a great time.
They loved the animals. It is so neat to emjoy things through childrens eyes.

Our Little Monkey

 
Analise is like a little monkey. She is always climbing on and into things. Here she is in the Tupperware drawer.
She is almost 11 months ols and is getting her two top teeth. Brett better watch out pay back is coming.

First Day Of School

 
Monday August 18th was Brett's first day of Pre-K. He loves to go to school and be with his friends. He also likes catching frogs at our house and giving them to his teacher Miss Jo for her pond. Little Brett is growing so fast.

Analise's New Seat

 
We got Analise a new booster seat/highchair. She would not sit in the regular one and she seems to like this one and will actually stay in it. So our sinner time is once again enjoyable!

Popsicle Time...

 
This is Analise's firs time eating a posicle. Boy did she like it.MMMMMMM!

When Mommy's not looking.....

 
 
Analise will play! I turned my back for 2 seconds and Analise decided it was time to TP herself. Then she moved on to the kitchen and decided to see what the diswasher does. It is a never ending job of chasing her.

LA Cousins

 
In July Lori, Ken, Katie and Timmy came to visit. We had a really good time. We went to a rodeo, and they went fishing. Here is the bounty that they caught. It was good to have family come and visit. We really miss them.

Gail's Visit

 
At the end of June Gail, Benjamin, Craig, and Lee came to visit. It was a lot of fun and a lot of kids under the age of 4. We really had a good time with them and wished we lived closer. Here they are at the Garden of the gods. Fun times.

Party Anyone???????????

 
Analise is 9 months old here and sporting her new favorite pastime. She love to wal around the furniture and is getting braver by the day in letting go. Watch out here she comes.
