November Babies!

Well I happen to have a small handful of November birthdays in my fam (best time of year to be born if you ask me ;) )...so i'd like to give a shout out to y'all since i'm sure i'll manage to forget to tell ya on your actual birthday. (speaking of which, i can think of 3 of em i've missed already! whoops! )

Happy Birthday to...

Mandi on the 6th

Aunt Angie on the 14th

My brother Brian on the 17th

Wes on the 24th

AND... some exciting news! My sister, Angela, had her baby on the 12th. Baby Hurley James Jensen was 7 lbs. 5 oz. and i can not wait to meet the lil stud.

Yay! for November babies!! ; )

Fall So Far..

Well i told myself i was going to be better about updating...and Josh insisted i posted some more recent pictures. (he wasn't real fond of everyone thinking he's a mountain man hehehe..:-P) Haven't been up to much really...so this post will be mostly pictures.

Josh and I went to the Dragon's Homecoming game with his family. This is me with baby kurt (Josh's nephew) He's such a stud!

Josh and i also did some pumpkin carving. we each did one for my mom. josh's is on the left, mine on the right. we carved these at like 2 a.m. after i got home from work.

Here's some more of our carving skills.. we had a carving contest with his parents on halloween.



and here they are lit up!

here's everyone's masterpieces. Jill's, Josh's, Kurt's and mine. we had alot of fun doin this. look closely at Kurt's...he added he own little touch...boogers! haha...

here's one of the more recent happening... i managed to lock my keys in my car-along with the spare! while i was over at josh's house the other night. we're both night owls so when he's home on the weekends i usually go over after i get off work. so here we are...its about 3 a.m. Kurt, Josh and I are out in the driveway with this collection of tools to unlock my car. we did finally get it and it was definitely worth the entertainment in my opinion.

Here's a pic that looks alot more like the every day josh davis haha. just kiddin...mostly ;) he can be such a kid at times...i love it! josh is always himself around me..never shy. and i really mean never. we've gotten to know each other really well over that past few months. looking back i know i never would have pictured the two of us together..its crazy to think i was still the little girl playing on the big grass hill while he was busy being the senior football star. lol it really did come out of no where! but now that it's happened i can't picture things any other way. i know we have alot to look forward to..PLENTY of laughs for sure!

and...here's the two of us!

How 'bout an update, eh??

Well, it has been a bit! As you can imagine, plenty has happened...however, I just don't have time to give much detail for the past 5 months or so since I last updated. In short..

• Took a trip out to NM to see Ang & Tyson with my dad...i had a ton of fun!! I can't believe home much Hunter has grown and that she's got a little brother on the way! I'm anxious for the little guy's arrival!

• I moved back home to good ol' Malad!
  

• I have a new job. I work at West Liberty Foods in Tremonton. No..it's not an ideal job by any means, but its SO much better than my last one! Still makes me want to go back to school though!

• Zach graduated from basic training last month and Grammee, my mom and I flew out for that. We also got to spend some time with all our family in AL.

• & last but not least...the boyfriend! <3
  

Here are a few pics...

This is Zach at the 'Turning Blue' ceremony. He was recognized for a perfect PT score and as an Expert Rifleman...

All of us after the ceremony.
(yes, the humidity works wonders)

Mom and her soldier boy after graduation.

Zach and I after graduation.

I just had to take a picture of this. When we first got to our hotel, I discovered this lovely welcoming gift on my headboard...yes, its someones GUM! Though I wasn't too thrilled about it I just left it there for the maid to get the next morning while we were out...it's bad enough that they managed to miss that the first time...but! it was STILL there when we got back. I was sure to leaved a note so they wouldn't "overlook" it the next time. barf!

After graduation, Zach had 3 weeks of airborne training. These are the towers he got to jump from. As far as i know, he hasn't jumped out of the planes yet but he LOVED the towers. Gotta admit, i'm pretty jealous...i think it looks way fun!!

Here's 2 of Mandi's boys. They are all SO dang cute!

These next two were from today. Meet Josh..the boyfriend. Don't be alarmed, i swear he's not REALLY a grizzly bear! Its just his *hunting beard* so he can 'keep his face warm' LoL..

I caught him crashed out in my lap...

And his mom later caught both of us dozin..nothin like a good ol sunday nap! :)

Well...thats all for now. I'm gunna try and be better about updating more often!
