VACATION!!!

The past few days have been wonderful, stressful, fun and exhausting, all the traits of a family vacation! We went up to Wolf Creek to spend Wednesday and Thursday nights, as Jason very seldomly gets 2 nights off in a row. Needless to say Jason was super excited to catch up on some much needed sleep. We spent the night in our condo on Wednesday relaxing and watching Disney movies with Hailey. Thursday after we woke up we got ready and headed to Grandpa Bob's house to celebrate Thanksgiving!!! We had a delicious dinner with the Bateman's andd we were very excited to have mom and dad here, as I haven't had a Thanksgiving with them in over 3 years! After dinner at Grandpa Bob's we headed over to the Warburton's (Jason's Grandparents)to celebrate with them. It was fun to see both sets of family, and Hailey was excited to go home with Grandpa Gary, Grandma Lynne, and Aunt Erin for a 2 night sleep over!!!
On Friday Jason, Ike, and I went with Mom and Dad to look at houses. We are so excited to have Dad living here soon!!! We found several BEAUTIFUL homes up by Wolf Creek! They are brand new and GORGEOUS! Just incase dad is reading this...my vote is Greenie!!!!! It is big, beautiful, and you guessed it...Green. It is my favorie of all the homes we have looked at. However any of the homes would be wonderful for them. We are just excited to see mom and dad taking the next step towards dad living here!
Today we went to pick up Hailey after Jason woke up. We picked up our Christmas tree from Jason's parents as well and plan on setting it up tonight or tomorrow. Hailey is very excited as she LOVES Christmas. Mainly though because she knows that after Christmas comes her birthday and "I will be 3 years old and a big girl!"
As for tomorrow only time will tell, we have to get the last load from our house as the tentative new closing date is Tuesday. Hopefully it is this time, but I guess we shall see!

We Don't Say That Word!

Hailey has picked up a new saying at daycare... "WE DON'T SAY THAT WORD!!!" she even puts her hands on her hips and scowls when she says it. Anytime someone says stupid or dumb we hear these words and chuckle at the little scowl on her face. Here is a video of it, I am sorry it's sideways, but it's the best I have at the moment.

Ike is getting his first tooth!!! I had a dream last night that I woke up this morning and he had nine teeth coming through, but luckily when I looked it was just one!!! It is so cute, I'll try to get a picture when it is in a little better! He is also making more of an attempt to crawl. He gets his knees going, but he hasn't moved anwhere yet. It is fun to watch them learn. Whenever he is trying Hailey is always right there saying, "come on buddy, you can do it." It is so cute how much they love eachother.

As for us, we were supposed to close on our house on Tuesday, but it looks like now we are shooting for December 1st. We have to wait for the buyers to sell theirs and it looks like they have to do a few things and then we will be set to close on ours!!!

It's About That Time

I guess it's about time that we start one of these blog thingys! I have I guess been putting off the inevitable, but it seems to be that time now. So I guess I will have to thank Aunt's Katie and Sarah letting me enjoy their blogs for so long without having one of my own. You should just all be aware that I have my hands full with Hailey and Ike and I will probably not put anything on here for days at a time!

As for us in the Jensen household, we are all ill or recovering from one illness or another! Over the past month we have been passing around the germs that Hailey has ever so kindly been bringing home from day care with one another. Hopefully we will get back to being healthy soon.

We are also looking forward to the end of this semester for Jason and are very excited that the Spring 2009 semester will be his last. And we look forward to watching him walk in early May!!! It will be so nice to have Jason be able to find a career that he will love and that will allow him to spend more time with us!!! Right now he goes to school full time and works at Saralee at night, so we don't see him as often as we would like.

Hailey is getting so big and smart. She will be 3 in 3 months and she can already spell her name!!! She also knows the beginning letters to our names and everyone in her class, it is so wonderful to watch her learn and grow.

Ike is also growing quickly, he will be 7 months old in 3 days!!! About a week ago he decided that now was as good a time as ever to learn to sit and hasn't stopped. He always wants to sit and play with his toys, his favorite being his stacking rings.

And I am the same old, I go to work and I come home to cook dinner. I was attempting to work out, but with these illnesses I have had to put a hold on that. I hope to get back to the gym tomorrow evening! In exciting news!!! We are scheduled to close on the selling of our house on the 25th (also Jason's 28th Birthday)! Cross your fingers it all goes as planned! It will be nice to build up some savings, so that we are able to build our dream home here in the next few years!

As I said I will try to remember to post things regularly, but if not just keep checking I will write eventually!
