2002 Thelin / Jensen Kids Movie

This movie is one that our family has watched over and over. It is kind of like a Monte Python movie in that, the more we watch it, the funnier we think it is. Jonathan Thelin was the director and made it in 2002. Some things that make us laugh are:

1.) Abby and Canada aren't suppose to laugh, but can't seem to stop.
2.) Canada hits Tanner and makes him show his 'angry face'.
3.) Abby responds to a snap by Jonathan, and tries it herself.
4.) Tanner and Madison talking about the gold and jewels (and crowns)
5.) Abby and Canada thinking Tricia's acting is real (2 times)
6.) Abby and Canada's discussing what they want to do...with their kid accents...classic.
7.) Tanner and Madison trying to bike in hurricane force winds.
8.) etc, etc, etc.

At the end there is a quick piece on Grandma singing with Abby and Canada.

Lilly's first real performance

In 2008, our 5-year old Lilly started taking voice lessons. Lilly really loves to sing and sometimes gets her siblings frusterated by the constant singing while driving in the car.

Lilly had a couple of performances in 2008 and this is one that we recorded.

Abby's Ear Piercing Day

Abby and her best friend Camille went to get her ears pierced today. Abby was so scared and nervous that she practically squeezed my hand off. After, she said it hardly hurt at all. She chose diamond studs for her earrings. After, we went to P.F. Changs for dinner. It was a great girl's night out.
She has really grown up. I am so proud of her for who she has become and the choices she makes in her life.

Jason's Trip to Costa Rica

These are some of the animals that Jason photographed in Costa Rica.


These crocs were all along the banks of the river by our hotel. No fences here, this was shot from the bridge.




The Lazy Sloth. We saw 4 of these slowly eating leaves from trees on a hike to the beach.




Crazy Monkeys. When we got to the beach, these monkeys were running all around us.



After a good hike, we had a great lunch high in the mountains overlooking the ocean with good friends.
