Hunter is 11!!!

Hunter is 11! He started his celebrations on Saturday with Gma and Gpa Burningham. They started at Applebee's eating a huge and yummy lunch. Hunter had a Quesedilla Hamburger, Artichoke Dip and chips. Then they went to Target to get an under armour shirt (the white and blue one). He looks very nice in it and loved it so much he asked for more!

Sunday we went down to the Munk's for a birthday dinner, cake, and presents. Hunter got more under armour shirts from Maka and Baka, and money from Great Grandma Miles and cousin E. (He bought a hat with the money! A very stylish hat!)

Sunday night the kids slept over at Maka's house to continue the celebration. They went shopping, to lunch, and a fun place called "Jump On It". Hunter said: "It was the funnest place I have ever been." So check it out if you are looking for something fun to do with the kids.

Before Football Hunter got to open his presents from us. He got a vest for the cooler school days, a water bottle for football, and binky mouth piece (also for football), and SURPRISE!!!

The LT jersey he was told he could not have!! Because he had practice there was no time for cake, so after football practice we surprised Hunter with doughtnuts for the team and friends!! Happy Birthday Hunter!!

Summer Fun 2009

Here are some fun pics I took of swimming in Park City. Of course I did not take the pic of myself (that would take serious skills!) Dave took that one! He believes he is a professional now!

It is here!!! Football 2009

The boys started Football in July and the conditioning and training has been really fun to watch. Hunter has really come out of his shell this year and promises to be one to watch. Hayden's team is still working on the kinks so we don't have pictures of him yet.

Hunter is the 4 back for his offense team and the corner for the defense.

24th Of July Swim Party 2009

July 24th marks the annual swimfest at the Jensen house! As usual we had a LOVELY lunch that was quickly devoured so the swimming could begin!
The competitions and crazy stunts started right away this year and a new game was entered into the mix. It was called: "jump through the inner tub." Dave stood to the side of the pool and threw the inner tube in the air. The goal was to jump off the diving board and dive through the middle of it. Easy? NOT! Hayden was 5 for 5, Skee was 2 for 5, and no one else could get the job done!

Then it was onto the "how high can you dive" competition. Once again, Dave held the metal pole and everyone took a turn diving over the pole with out touching it. Hayden did well, and came in second to Skee. Matt did not compete this year as he dominated in this one last year!

It was fun to eat, swim, and be with family! Thanks Kristi for letting us party at your pool!

Antelope Island 2009

We went to Antelope Island this summer with Angie and family. It was really really hot, but really really fun!! We started our adventure by seeing a herd of Bison crossing the road. The kids were so excited to see them charging down the mountain side and pass right by our car!! Our first stop was at Garr Ranch. We ate lunch and walked around the Ranch reading and exploring what it was like living there in the early 1900's.

There were a lot of things to see and do, but the best was walking in the BURNING HOT sand about 1 mile to the bug infested Great Salt Lake. We walked and burned our feet and sweat just to get with in feet and turn around screaming and swatting away from the swarming Brine Flies that stuck to our bodies and freaked out all the children. All the children but Hayden who insisted he touch the water! So he braved the smothering flies and walked into the water boot and all!

The Parade

July 23rd is the annual parade and celebration for our town. We celebrate by meeting at Foxwood (thank you Skee) and watching the parade in the most intense heat known to man. We sweat our brains out then head for the hills to watch MPJH do an amazing fireworks show.

This year the parade weather did not disappoint, so hot you could cook an egg. The sun was blasting us for about an hour then the blessed clouds started to give us relief, that and the squirt bottles J brought with her. Skee made sure that everyone was properly wet and hydrated. In a battle of the water I was victor over him, taking out his left eye and ear drum (even though he made it look like I wet my pants!) And thanks to the brilliance of Angie the kids had all the otter pops they could eat!

Hayden was there with P, Hunter brought J, and Harley brought M. This was a brilliant idea on my part, each one of them had fun and there was NO complaining! We had a lot of fun at the parade and the kids got A TON of candy.

After the parade we headed up to the Parry's for a BBQ, Ice cream, and fireworks. The kids had a lot of fun, we talked baseball, football, and football, and baseball until 1am!! Needless to say we slept in on the 24th!
