What We've Been Doing.


Not necessarily in this order:



Playing Little House in the Prairie with our BFF Amy.



Playing with our new chickens Gabriella and Zena and our new baby chicks. This one is Princess Leia.




Playing outside.



Folding Laundry.



Eating cupcakes with our cousins at Baby Luke and Leia's baby shower. (a.k.a. Elise & Isaac's twins)



Alice & I on a trip to Logan for said baby shower. We had a wonderful and amazing time.



This is candy for those of you who didn't recognize it.



Enjoying the garden. I guess all that work was worth it.



The first day of school--it wasn't as painful as I thought. Actually it was pretty painless.



Enjoying our new chicken coop that our summer teenager, Jed, built. Jed was the best helper, au' pair, babysitter, chicken coop builder and golf cart wrecker we have ever had!
Canyon, on seeing the chicken coop: "Mom, I was thinking about the coup and I think it's good that it's camouflage because I think that a fox will come over here and think, 'Oh, there's just a little forest over there.' and then leave without eating the chickens."
I don't know if that's how it went down but we haven't lost a chicken since even though I have seen a fox lurking about the property.

We are happily settling into schedules but miss our summer days and especially summer nights. I guess though, in retrospect, summer wouldn't be so special if we didn't have school to attend to all the rest of the year.

So fun. We need to get Alice and Kate together more often. They did great! And Maggie is still talking about Jane, even though she wasn't even in Logan. Funny.

looks like a busy life. A good life.

Hey...the garden...I forgot all about it. That just shows you how little we got over there this summer...is there any left for the lame Jensen's that didn't do much this year?
