Does Anyone Still Look at This?

My name is Liz and I'm a horrible blogger. There I admitted it, now I can go from here and try to be better.  I really have meant to do this at least once a week, not so much for me, but for my kids. I want them to have something to look back on and see how awesome their childhood was or most days how lame (we spend lots of days in our pjs just making messes, thus it being lame). Now onto the good stuff...me rambling about my four smart and beautiful children.
You heard me right, FOUR children. Last time I blogged I only had 3. We welcomed Henry Oscar Jensen to our family on August 7th. What a fun addition he as been. Henry or Hank the tank as he is often referred to since he is our chubbiest baby and by chubbiest I mean he's in the 30th percentile for weight as compared to our other children who were in like the 10th. So he's not big by any means, but he's big for us and we love every ounce of him. Scarlett may love him more than the rest of us. She kisses him constantly and if he makes even the slightest whimper she's at his side patting (hitting) him to make it better. She doesn't realize that she's hitting though, she thinks she's helping and it's sweet.

Hailey is in 2nd grade and turns 8 next month. I can't believe it. I'm in denial and shock that my little girl is getting so big. She had decided to get baptized, WOOHOO! She loves church and her spirit and love for the gospel inspires me. This year she started on a competition dance team and she is LOVING it!!! I am a little overwhelmed with the practices, costumes, shoes, hair styles, bags, makeup, etc I'm sure I will get the hang of it soon. I am just so excited she's found something she really enjoys to do.

Isaac is in Kindergarten and will be 6 in April. He is my little brain. He sucks up everything and loves learning about any and everything. He is on his winter health kick which means that he is drinking more to get the vitamin d he isn't getting from the sun and in the summer he was drinking more water to keep hydrated. He loves to know about his foods and what vitamins are in them and eating healthy. He has explained math problems to Hailey.

Scarlett will be 2 in April. She is such a fun kid. She is constantly entertaining us with her dancing and singing. She has recently become our most picky eater. She loves to play with and pick on Ike. They are becoming fast friends and I love it.

Henry will be 6 months old in a couple weeks and I can't believe it. It all goes by in the blink of an eye. He loves to stand, while being helped of course. He also loves to be talked to and held and just look at one another. He has the best cheeks!
Jason started a new job in September, he is now the Plant Manager for a steel company in Brigham City. It is his dream job and I couldn't be more excited for him. He has worked so hard for this and he is loving it.
Me, I'm just loving being at home. There are days that I want to work, but then I look at my kids and I see what I'd be missing and I don't want to miss anything.

That's it. I will add pictures shortly once I hook my phone to my computer, so check back in a day or two!
