Image via Wikipedia This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical. It was an adventure! It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long. The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a [...]

Mrs. Jensen Goes to Washington
Posted in Holidays on Apr 30th, 2008
Image via Wikipedia Maggie and I are going to Washington, DC! My sister is graduating from college there and had an airline voucher she wasn’t using and used it to buy me a ticket to the family party in DC. I’m so excited! My whole family, except the brothers-in-law and Degen will be there as [...]
May 4, 2008 Sharing Time
Posted in Primary on Apr 29th, 2008
Primary’s May Theme is… Heavenly Father planned for me to come to a family. I can strengthen my family now. “The family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children” (“Proclamation,” paragraph 1). …and I’m in charge of Sharing Time next week. Next week’s lesson in the Outline goes like [...]
I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning. It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance. People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take [...]

It’s been a crazy week. I won’t go into all the details, but suffice it to say that we’ve felt more motivated than ever to look for a new job for Colin. He was up late the last couple of nights filling out applications, and has plans to do the same tonight. Today I filled [...]
Degen loves colors…especially eye colors
Posted in Kids on Apr 22nd, 2008
Degen is really interested in colors and numbers right now. If I say “What’s that, Degen?” he answers with what the color of the object is. Right now he’s especially interested in eye color. Most days he tells me several times the eye color of each person in our family. Yesterday he convinced the missionaries [...]
Maggie: diapers and pens
Posted in Kids on Apr 21st, 2008
Maggie has started taking her diaper off again… I have to put her in outfits that keep her hands from those diaper tabs or I find her running around with nothing on and a little puddle somewhere in the house. It’s cute and a little funny, but messy. And Degen has started to follow his [...]
April 5th 2008 General Conference
Posted in Religion/Church on Apr 5th, 2008
If you missed it, you can see it, read it, or listen to it. How? See this web page. Today during the first session of General Conference we had a Solemn Assembly to sustain the new prophet, first presidency, and apostle. It was so cool to stand up and show Heavenly Father that I support [...]
Watching General Conference with Kids
Posted in Religion/Church on Apr 4th, 2008
I do not consider myself an expert on this topic. Getting adults to stop everything, sit quietly, and listen to anyone for eight hours in one weekend is difficult enough, even when they think the cause is worthy and the speakers are saying something important. My own kids have an attention span of 10 seconds [...]
