Them's Fightin' Words!

Okay so never mind Christmas and all of those other things and on to more important things. Is no one else going to mention the crushing defeat that BYU felt this last weekend. I think we are all a little sad that their quest towards mediocrity is over. Well enough with the pleasantries and on to family matters. I am not sure if this is a good thing. But this week I have discovered that the Ute indoctrination is complete with Brixen. As I am sure a lot of you know he has a couple of buddies that just live next door. These three are practically inseparable they do everything together. Well on Friday I came home and Brix proudly told me that he had gone up to Jaden (one of his buddies) and said "BYU sucks BOOOO!" After which Jadens Dad jumped in and started trash talkin' back. I am proud to say that my son never backed down. What a good boy.

Christmas List 2008

When I asked Mom about the christmas list this year, she said we should take care of it.

So, if nobody has any concerns I will take last years do the standard rotation and put it up here.

Hi all!

Just to let U know
, Bradens test went ok. no results yet. He woke up cranky and hasn't changed for the rest of the night. or so I hear, Heather and the kidswent to Wyoming for the weekend.
Stay tuned for more info.

New Job

The church made me an offer I couldn't refuse.....

....ok, so I could have, it just wouldn't have been very smart. I start Dec 8th.


....if my Jenkins stress genes allow me to survive that long... :P

-Ron (Drogo)

Oh all right. Y'all better feel special becasue this is my first ever blog post. Yes, I've finally caved in and will post to this blog just for my family. So there... :P

For those of you who don't know, I had an interview with the Church CIS department last Friday morning for a job doing much the same of what I'm currently doing. They must have liked me because I got a call Friday afternoon asking me to come back for another interview on Monday morning. That interview must have also gone well because I got a call this afternoon to let me know that they want to offer me a position and I should have the official offer sometime tomorrow.

Now I just have to go tell my current boss.

Lynette & Dennis

Okay so by the time you get done reading the posts for today you will all be sick of hearing from us Jensen's. But on a more serious note, Chell talked with Lynette today and she's not doing so well. She is due in December and had another one of those blackouts where she can't talk or anything again last night as well as lexie woke up throwing up last night. I just wanted to let everyone know to keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayer's. Love you all.

changes for the better

Well I decided to add something to the layout of the blog that I think gives this blog a distinct sense of personality. As well as a distinguished sense of style it is especially for Ray and Russ so I hope you guys enjoy. See if you can figure it out.

Go Utes!

What did you do?

There was an incident yesterday at the Jensen house hold. When I got up I asked Chell to throw some of my work pants in the dryer so that they would be ready when I had to go. So I got all showered and went into the laundry room and she had this Oh No look on her face and then I looked down and saw this.

It's hard to tell but my shirt now almost fits my 6 year old son. I am not sure what happened, but I think Chell was secretly trying to get Brixen a new sweater. Either that or she really likes my riped abs.

Our Saviour on my Birthday

So the Gaming crew went out for a day on Saturday. We went down to the conference center and saw Savior of the World, which was incredible. Several times through the performance, I felt the spirit witness to me so hard that it shook my body. It was a beautiful play about the life of Christ. A definite must see.

We then went out to Lonestar steak house. Which disappointed me for three reasons. 1. They don't have poppers as an appetizer anymore. 2. They don't have costco style chocolate cake anymore. 3. The don't smoke their prime rib anymore. Needless to say I will be sticking with Ruby River, Texas Roadhouse. At least the service was pretty good for 12 people.

After, Russ GaeLynn and I went to FYE and Russ and I picked up Band of Brothers, the Blue Ray version for my birthday and just because for Russ. All in all a really nice way to spend my birthday.

Those November Birthday Candle Blowers

For those that were there you saw the "blow hards" in action. For the rest of you here's how the battle was joined.

Here you can see the cakes arrayed for the battle.
















First up was the senior citizen, he was able to use years and years of experience to easily blow out the candles on his german chocolate cake.



















Next Came the Over the hill dude, you could see him struggle a little but finally those candles finally went down.














The crowd waited breathlessly as the contest went on















Next up was the smiling avenger, her candles went down without mercy or justice.















Finally there was the trick blower, he sat up for a very difficult shot from across the kitchen. The flames flickered, one went out, the other struggled against the trickster, and finally prevailed. With anger in his eye, the trick blower took another breath and showed that candle what for.















Well, that is how the battle went down, score: blowers 4, candles 0. Its a good thing that the candles lost, you don't want to know what happens when the candles win. :)

Happy Birthday

the party was fun. I talked to Grandpa Clark this morning and he said that Eddus had alot of fun at the party watching all of the kids running around, and was thrilled that all of them came and climbed up on Larry's lap and gave him a hug. We missed the Robert Jenkins Family.
I have Kirstin's address so if anyone needs it give me a call.
Love Mom

Updates

Okay, just so everyone knows, Mom and Dad don't currently have a computer. Mom on very rare occasions checks her e-mail at the library, but not very often, as well as the rare occasion I am home with my computer. They still have their phones, and that is usually the best way to get a hold of them.
Anyway, as for me, I am now living back in Price. Danny is still not home. He should be home soon, though we don't know exactly when. But when I say soon, I mean he should be home before Thanksgiving. Don't know anything beyond that. Though he has expressed a desire to see everyone before we head south. I'll get a hold of Grandma when I know more of what's going on.
As for the parties, regretfully we won't be there. We have our honeymoon/first anniversary/welcome home trip planned that week. So we apologize, but I doubt we'll be there.
And just so everyone is aware, Roby is living with me right now too.
Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone. And Happy Birthday to all the November birthdays!

I read this blog

I hope that I can remember how to get on again.

Wintery Day!

It has been snowing and snowing here at work, I am hoping that the commute home wont be long, and that the accumulated snow won't be too deep. If it is, there will be  a couple adventures for me. 

1. Trying to get up my driveway and into the garage with slippery sufaces. 

2. Trying out my new snowblower.

It should be fun.

Hope you all are safe and sound and get to snuggle in warm houses this evening.

Hello My Family & Happy B-Day Father

Now that I have worked out my login problems (all my own fault), I am now able to contribute. I am glad to be a part of the family blog.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! :)

November Birthday

BIRTHDAY PARTY!

GaeLynn and I are going to host a Sunday dinner for November birthday's.

It will be this coming Sunday Nov. 9th at 6 pm.

Hope to see you all there.

Happy Halloween Everyone.

We hope all of you had a happy Halloween . We really missed Robert, Neatta, & all of their kids hopefully they will be able to come down for the festivities nest year. My neighbor and I had a great time doing the spook ally. I couldn't believe what a good turn out we had. Last year we had less than 100 people, but this year we estimated we had at least 300 people come threw. We already are making plans to make it bigger and better so if any of you have suggestions for nest year let me know. We love all of you and hope that all went well. Anyways I thought I'd throw up a video and some pic's of Ellie and Brixen at their school programs. Enjoy!
