Kayleigh

Here are some pictures of Kayleigh. She is always willing to strike a pose.

Kayleigh is all ready for Pajama Day

I love it when she wears jeans. She looks so grown up in this outfit. Where did the time go?



Honest Abe Lincoln's Yummy Log Cabin

The final fun snack for the month of February was Abe Lincoln's Log Cabin. The kids wanted to try it, especially the honey part to stick on the logs. At first they liked it but the honey ended up being to sweet for them and they just ate the extra logs (pretzel sticks).
Kayleigh shows off her finished cabin!

Kayleigh adds the "glue" to hold on the logs.

Sledding in Coventry

With the recent snowfall we decided to head to Coventry to go sledding. We were hoping to go to my old elementary school but there was only one path of snow left. The hill behind the school is great and I have many fond memories of sledding there at recess as a kid. Since we had Papa and Grammy Motorcyle with us we headed to my father's club to try that hill. Papa said there was snow there that morning. However by the afternoon there was also only one path. But it was a great hill and the kids had a blast. It was a bit windy yet warm so perfect sledding weather. This is a hill we will definitely have to do with more snow. The kids are crazy. All they need is one run with Jim or I then they will go down on their own, especially Kayleigh.
Which way do we go?

Kayleigh and Jack get a ride up the hill from Papa!

I love this picture. Jack with his papa!

There she goes! Kayleigh loves sledding!

Going for a ride with Papa!

Whee! This would be great if there was more snow!

Family Fun! Another great photo!

A long walk up the hill is always better when you have someone you love to walk with.

There he goes. He's just as crazy as the kids. Now we know where Kayleigh gets it from!

All aboard!

Jack and Jim belly slide! Hang on Jack!

Boys will be boys! I think Jack may have had more fun stomping in the puddles!

Whee! Grammy and Jack!

Yummy Love Bugs!

This time we made a Heart Bug for lunch. The kiddos got to pick what they wanted on the sandwich...jelly, peanut butter and/or fluff. Then they added the details. It was a yummy and fun lunch and it sent their "Hearts Aflutter"!
Kayleihg is proud of her Love Bug

Kayleigh's bug sure looks yummy!

Jack's Love Bug!

Kayleigh's Buddy Owen came over for a playdate and we made this very sweet pizza!

I love my Love Bug!





Kayleigh's Day in the Snow

Yesterday was such a beautiful day that Kayleigh just had to get out and play. We were hoping to go sledding but Jack was tired and just wanted to chill out. So I built a tunnel for Kayleigh and she enjoyed playing in it and having some time with me!
Here comes Kayleigh!
Kayleigh is making her way through the tunnel

Hello there!

Playing in the snow tired Kayleigh out so much that she decided to take a nap!

Snow Fun

We finally got enough snow to go out and play and the temperature was great. The kids had a blast playing outside. We headed up to the school for some sledding then came home to play in the snow some more. The snow was perfect for making snowmen and snowballs. This is the day we have been waiting for.

Kayleigh is just too cute!

Yay! It's a huge snowman

Jack chills out on his snowchair

Jack made it to the top of the giant snowball

Jack couldn't wait to knock over the snowman. He took a run at Kayleigh's. Thankfully it didn't topple. I told him he had to wait for his to be done, then he could knock that one over. Typical boy!

It's taller than me!

Snow Princess!










Yummy Names!

Another yummy snack day in the Jensen Kitchen. We decided to make breadstick letters and to spell the kids names. Kayleigh decided just to do her nickname. Although it didn't stop her from doing Jim's name. Boy she does love her daddy. (Jim was home due to the snow and helping with the dough rolling). Jack loved rolling his name and making his hook.
Rolling letters is tough work.

My name looks so yummy!

Kay gives it a little test!

Jack's name is ready to go in the oven!

Hey! This letter has a kickstand so it won't roll away!
