Happy Birthday Teona Ann

Teona Ann was home for her birthday weekend. We always have such a great time when we are all together. Talmage and Laine had a sleepover on Thurs night so Teona Ann woke up to excited kids. Brandon picked up the kids about 11:00 and Sis and I headed for Richfield for an afternoon of shopping and lunch. We had lunch at the Rice Buffet and then shopped, shopped, shopped. Teona Ann found LOTs of cute clothes with her birthday $$. We headed for home to make homemade pizza and party with the family.

We spent too long shopping so instead of a cake she got a "store bought" pumpkin roll. The grandkids made sure there were enough candles on it to create a good flame. They also had a great time helping or just beating Teona Ann in blowing out the candles. Brandon to the rescue!

Life is good when you spend it with family.

Talmage's Birthday Party

Talmage had his birthday party this weekend while Aunt Nona was home. It was a "Knight" party and we were to come as princess' and knights and be prepared for a sword fight.

Once everyone was equipped with swords and shields we headed outside for pictures and all of a sudden a Black Knight appeared to ruin the party. A sword fight brought about a good ending.

The young Knight conquered over the black Knight and saved us all. Brandon and Marie always are so creative with the birthday parties, we had lots of fun.

There were plenty of "beautiful Princess', one "old" King, one Black Knight and our hero...the Birthday Knight!

Richard's Birthday!

September 22, 2008

We had a small birthday party for Richard for his 58th birthday! Wow, he's getting old! but that means retirement is getting closer. Brandon, Marie, Talmage, Laine, Sawyer and Grandma Jensen came out for dinner. Dinner was good but the best part, of course, is presents and cake! The kids helped me put the candles on the cake....not nearly enough but we didn't want the smoke alarm going off!



Birthday spankings are a must too! Good job kids!



Grandpa had lots of help opening presents. Everyone wants to be in on the action!



Look at those flames!! Blow hard Grandpa! We better help you!



Sawyer helped get the candles off the cake...oops a little cake came too! Isn't he cute!!



Laine and Talmage are going to get in on the action too!



Here Grandma...it's really good!







They are the cutest grandkids in the whole world! This is what makes our life complete, having family close around and close in thoughts. We love our family so very much.
