The schools here have a winter sports program where the kids learn to ski or do other "wintery" things and on the last day of skiing they do a race. So Cache and I got all bundled and trekked up the mountain to watch him. Despite my exhaustion from climbing up the steep hill in the sideways snow and dense fog with a baby on my hip (did I mention it was up hill both ways?) it was a lot of fun and those kids are REALLY good! The fastest three times in each grade get a trophy and, wouldn't you know it, Jack got third place! He couldn't be happier. Good job, Jack!!!

The Jensens: An introduction

A little bit about us . . .
This is where we live- Teton Valley, Idaho. Pretty, isn't it? I know a lot of you picture us out in the country with the cows and potatoes but we actually live in a subdivision. Neighbors, fences . . . well we don't actually have a fence but I've seen them around.
This is Jack- the oldest. When he was younger he was obsessed with having super powers which makes sense because he loves to be the best at everything. He was convinced for years that he was "super" fast and had two speeds - "blur" and "no blur". "No blur" meant he was so fast you couldn't see him at all. Delwyn and I may be partly to blame for that.
This is Jonas. He would eat cold cereal for every meal of the day if I let him (or granola bars). His favorite things to do are to snuggle and wrestle which actually describes his personality pretty well, he's very sweet and stubborn. I kinda like the combo. Most people know him as the "shy one" because he rarely speaks in public but we can't get him to stop talking at home- you'll just have to trust us on that one.
This is Cache. You may look at this picture and think "Oh what a cute little boy enjoying a cookie" but the horror of it is he got himself up on that counter, stabbed his way through the plastic wrap and then snatched that poor unsuspecting cookie. And that's the look he gave me when I caught him. His presonality is sure to get him far in life. And on the upside he's very self-sufficient and can the mother of three small children really complain about a child who is self-sufficient???
I don't have any good pictures of Delwyn and I but Delwyn is a Commercial Lender at a local bank and on the Planning and Zoning Committee (you may call him Commisioner Jensen if you like) and I stay at home with the rugrats am a Cub Scout Leader and I make gameboard clocks- wanna buy one??
