The Jensen Family

It was "future instructor" day at karate. Jason could bring someone and teach them how to earn their white belt. He chose Ashley. He took it very seriously and they had a great time.

This one is blurry but Jason got to teach her everything she needed to do to earn a white belt. He is teaching her how to do a front kick here.

Here she is getting her white belt.

New year eve at the Jensen house. I know it is late but I just found this one picture I took of the occasion. It was a fun night of playing all the new games we got for Christmas and eating too much food.

Jarin won another match!!! He won it in three rounds by two points and I missed it!!! Our friend wasn't going to take pictures. When she saw Jarin almost had the guy pinned and I was not there she whipped out her camera but she was too late to get any good pictures. The reason I was not there was that the match was supposed to start at 5:30 but they started at 5:15 and Jarin went first. Boo Hoo. But yeah Jarin. He has now exceeded his expectation by 2.

Here is Jarin winning one of the only matches he has won so far.

The other ones are more recent pictures. Jarin may not be winning a lot of matches but he has lost 15 pounds, has gotten in pretty good shape and is enjoying the experience.

Riding and feeding the horse in the farm section at the childrens museum. The website for the children's museum said" fun for all ages". So we all went. It was not so fun for Jarin and Allison but they kept good attitudes. That is why they chose where to eat after. They picked Wingers. Yum. There were tons more activities here but I got busy and forgot to take pictures. Jason's favorite activity was being on the news. You could make a newscast or be the weather reporter. Every time we lost him we could find him on the news.

Here is Ashley playing at the water table. She wants to come back here on her birthday with just Jason.

This is the little coloring table thing grandma Townsend gave to Ashley for Christmas. She loves to color and now she can color anywhere. She loves it.

Jason's Giant candy bar...His favorite gift. Not only his favorite gift..A gift Jason's dreams are made of. He loved it. He hasn't eaten any yet but he loves to hold it.

Christmas morning

Allison and her cup cake maker. Thanks Allison for all the yummy cupcakes!

Jason's night vision goggles with a "maxifying" glass. Now he can not be scared in the dark at night. And he can read "wimpy Kid" while Ashley is sleeping with the light off.

Roxi was so confused and she hated all the loud toys. She kept coming to sit right by me. It did not help that Jarin got this little hand help massager and he kept massaging her with it. She really hated it.

I told Jarin he had to smile or he could not open any more presents.

Girls Christmas jammies and new robes. They got slippers also but they do not show in the picture.

Boys Christmas Jammies. We had a great Christmas. It is so nice to spend a day at home and relaxing after all the craziness of the weeks before Christmas. We spend the whole day in our Jammies eating candy and Christmas cookies (with an occasional ham thrown in) and playing with our new toys. It helped this year because it is a very snowy Christmas day and so it is safer to just stay home.
