Goodbye for Now

On July 9th I lost another brother. He is my third brother to leave this life early. Bradley Owen Jensen was two years older than me.

I am so blessed to have the gospel knowledge in my life. I think that I take this knowledge for granted. It is engrained in my soul and in my childrens'. It is only when you come across others who don't have this knowledge that you realize how blessed you are.

Scott died 22 years ago and Brian passed away two years ago. I am happy to know that my three brothers are there together working out their salvation. I am glad to have known Brad. I have learned from his life - his loving, giving, caring spirit. Goodbye for now, until we meet again.

Love you Brad!!!

Blog Raider

Some of you may have noticed the recent color change in our blog. Well, one day I pulled up the blog and noticed that someone had changed the template. (who else, but Miti). So, I quickly went to customize to change it back. I don't know if I just didn't want to spend the time on it, or just too darn lazy, it is yellow and some other funky colors now instead of what we had before. Someday I will get around to it.
We are enjoying the weather here in Vegas. Hasn't been too hot yet. Really! I think we have hit 110 a couple of times, but still not unbearable. The girls went back on track this week and will be in school until August. We had fun on track break. Now they are missing out on summer fun! The boys and I went to the pool today. Water, friends, food and fun! What more can you ask for. I need to post a picture of our brown berry - Tana. Boy the kids tan so great. We will make sure the girls get a swim in every now and then afterschool.
Take care everyone!!! I hope that you are all having a wonderful summer!

Sunday Night

Hey, it is Sunday night, Father's Day. I just want to send a shout out to all the fathers out there. I am so grateful for my good husband. I am very blessed in my marriage.
I just checked my blog and saw all these comments. We do our blog to keep in contact with those that we don't get to see often. But, an added bonus to blogs, or at least in my opinion, is that we have so much support from family and friends through comments. We are able to have that support that we as women need - and we don't have to spend a lot of money on long distance calls or time - which is harder to come by - to keep up with all these wonderful relationships. I want to say thank you to all my blogging buddies. Love ya!

Blogs!

Hey! I just wanted to drop a note and say that I am so grateful for blogs. It is such a small world in the church, but also in cyberspace. It is so fun to get to see pictures of friends and their families and to keep up with what is going on in their lives. I am not as good at posting as many of you know, but we all do what we can. Go blogs!

Long Drive Home from Colorado

When we are on road trips, I am always in hurry. You get gas, food, use the restrooms, walk around and let's get back in the car. Miti is more relaxed. "Oh look, there is Eagle Canyon. Let's stop and walk around and take a picture."

Opposites attract. Eh!?
