Trials and Blessings

 This last month has been a very interesting one for the Jensen family, not just our little family but as a whole unit.  It all started with the passing of Aloma, Chris's grandmother on his mother's side.  She passed due to some complications from a car accident in which grandpa was driving and pulled out in front of a car that t-boned them on her side on their way home from church.  Her funeral was held in Idaho, in which we attended and Chris participated in as a pa-bearer.  I got to meet a lot of Chris's family and get to know LaVene a little more.

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to this month too.  Clayton has been growing like a weed, as you can see, and we have started taking him swimming in preparation to hopefully learn how to swim.  Chris doesn't want to put him in classes yet till we get him use to the water and getting his face wet, which isn't a bad idea.  Then hopefully he gets more out of the swim classes and feels a lot more comfortable in the water.


We got to go to Lagoon this month with our dear friend Denise Handrahan and her little boy.  We took along with us Mer, Esther, and her friend Brenda.  Denise brought her friend Marcella and her two boys too.  We had so much fun taking the boys around to ride the rides and just seeing Clayton's face light up on the rides was more than enough for me.  Unfortunately, I couldn't do much there other then watch the stroller, and ride the train and carousal.  But that is okay, I still had fun, plus Chris got me some ice cream from Pioneer Village that made up for it all.

Chris really tried to get Mer to ride some rides with him, but this I didn't know, she is afraid of roller coasters and refused to get on them.  He did get her to ride a few things with him though, which I think deep down she liked it.  She kept telling me that if Amanda was there with her she would have been a little more adventurous in trying some of the rides.  It is okay though, at least she got to stand around with me as we waited for some of our group to get off a ride and I wasn't alone with the kids.

 While we were at Lagoon, I watched both Clayton and Cody so the adults can ride a coaster together.  At the ride Wicked Cody was asleep so I just had a very awake and impatient Clayton to tend to while we waited.  But shortly after they got into the line, which luckily it wasn't to long, Cody woke up and rubbed his nose, then it just started to gush out with blood.  It was the worst bloody nose I had every seen.  I eventually got it to stop and got him wiped down when his mom got off the ride.  Good thing Mer was there to help me, it was a little scarey.  Denise told me that it wasn't unusual for him to get a bloody nose, then she saw all the napkins and wipes I used and was shocked at how much blood there was.  Then it happened to him again, but this time for her.  This was not normal, so she called the clinic and they told her to take him to the ER...turns out he was over heated, scarey.

After all that has happened in June, I have to say that we are so ready for little William to get here.  I love being pregnant, but it is so hard to sleep and my hips are starting to hurt.  He likes to sit lower than Clayton did and kicks/moves around all the time.  Plus I want to see what he looks like. :D  Well, until next time...bye!
