Thanks Mom & Dad

Thanks Mom & Dad for coming up and helping last week! They got a glimpse into our life here at the Jensen household. And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Jensen too for taking on the kids while we were in the hospital and taking care of all of us the first couple days. Hope all the grandparents aren't too beat up.

The week my parents were here Cache showed his true colors. They now understand a little better when I say Cache is TROUBLE. Here he is covered in Vaseline.

He climbed up a bookcase in Jacks room and "cached" one of the Wii remotes on the very top shelf. He mistook Teagues gas drops for eye drops and dumped it into both eyes. And last but not least he threw away two of my Kitchen Aid attachments and I had to sort through 5 bags of garbage to find them. Fun. All in a weeks work. It did make me feel better that he got away with all that with 4 adults in the house. He's just that sneaky. More Teague

Jonas is smitten. This is how he spends his days admiring his new baby brother. He'll turn to us and say, "He's just so cute"

They all have to take turns holding him.

Even Cache, which is a little frightening.

Awwwww . . .

Ski Races

Today was the big day. The anticipation has been building for weeks! I overheard him this morning saying, "I wonder where I'll put my next trophy". But when I went to pick him up from school his body language gave it all away. He didn't medal this year. The boy does not do well with dissapointment. But there is always next year- and he did great!

He's here!!!

Say "hello" to

Teague Tanner Jensen

Not sure about the name? It'll grow on you. He's a cute little guy and his brothers LOOOOVE him.

Labor went great! They started me on 'pit' at 10:30 pm and he was born at 2:30 am. Not bad at all.

He weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz. and 20 3/4 in. long.

We're all healthy and feeling good and very happy to be home.

Still pregnant . . . in case you were wondering.

They're ready . . .

The kids woke up Saturday morning and were ready to go skiing. Jonas went for the very first time and he LOVED it! He came home and told me he's a really, really, really, really good skier. And Delwyn agreed- he said he really took to it. Jack was a little disappointed he didn't get to go off the bunny hill but he'll get over it. Winter Sports starts Tuesday and he'll get to go skiing with his friends at school for the next 5 weeks. And the little one had to stay home with me which broke his little heart but I wasn't about to trudge through the snow 9 months pregnant, 7 degree weather, with no snow clothes that fit over this ginormous belly. So I say "get use to disappointment, kids- builds character". (For the record, I am actually a very sympathetic person).

Christmas

Christmas '09 was good to the Jensens- here's some of the highlights:

Yes, I bought Cache a shopping cart and a vacuum. Girl toys you say? My husband would agree with you but I'll have you know he loves those toys. He likes to do what Mommy does and what's wrong with that? What woman doesn't want a man who will clean and shop? You are welcome future Mrs. Cache Jensen.

Delwyn bought himself and the two older boys matching Nerf guns. I'll let you imagine what our house is like with all that testosterone running around.

And I made the boys each a camo blanket so hopefully they'll leave my nice throws alone. So far so good. And even I have stolen them to nap with- they're very cozy.

All in all it was another great Christmas at home. We got a lot of great gifts - thanks Grandparents and Aunt Terilyn! We love you guys!
