primary pool party

the primary pool party was so much fun, i got to get to know some people better and of course paisley just loved the water and even managed to make a few new friends as well:)

box house

do you love paisley's awesome outfit?? yeah she is pretty stylish, especially when she dresses herself. one great thing about moving, is all the big 'ol boxes that end up laying around. we made a little house one day and had a ball playing in it.

hallie and roxy shower

jan, stephanie and i threw a shower for roxy and her soon to be baby girl hallie. i made a diaper cake and a banner. we ate yummy food and celebrated with family and friends. so wish i would have taken more pictures of everything and everyone.

stripe girl!

she is such a doll, i love my little lady!

kitchen and pantry

somethings i got exactly what i wanted in the house, and others not quite. in the kitchen, i got the exact pendant lights i wanted, the faucet and the counter top are all just perfect to me. i love the sink, it isn't exactly how i would have liked it, but pretty dang close. we still need to do a back splash-i am thinking subway tile. i know most people don't like white appliances, but i am all about white and just love them.

chris did an awesome job installing our pantry, i love having all the extra space for food storage.

the pull out drawers are fantastic, so easy to reach everything!

tomatoes and my little momma

just making sure baby is secure and safe.

i love opening my french doors to see these beautiful tomatoes, we ate them all summer long!

paisley loves her little baby dolls. she takes good care of them, most of the time, this day she was giving her baby a ride on the horsie. i love my little momma!

best bbq in missouri and the airport

on one of our last days on the trip we hit up a for real bbq joint in missouri. it was delicious. we ate so much. loved it. {i love this picture of robin, he is so great!}

this is what jensen's do in down time:

we read. {just one reason of why i fit right into this family!}this is us at the kansas city airport waiting to fly home to sd.

it was such a fantastic trip. a once in a life time experience that we will not forget.

thank you jensen's for this fabulous trip!

random church history trip

our church history trip was so incredible, we did and saw so much. and so here in no particular order are a bunch of random pics from our trip. steph and i bought and wore matching skirts one day not even knowing that each other had them. we must have good taste!


had a beautiful view of the susquehanna river, it reminded me so much of oregon and the alsea river. it is so pretty. i love all the green and the water was super refreshing.

john johnson farm.

the sacred grove.

cute, cute carson and the grandin building where the book of mormon was first published.

jan left her camera with me and this is what she got:

not sure where this was or why it was so funny:

we swam in lake erie one afternoon, it was heaven. loved it!

bethany and kiddos met up with us one day, it was so great to see them!

outside the kirkland temple.



we experienced some of amish country and even ate at mary yoder's-yum!

stopped by notre dame, and read a lot on that rv of ours.

we even made a little time for pool games.
