We LOVE Waterfalls


Last weekend we did one of my favorite hikes ever...Waterfall Canyon.


We went with our friends Nate and Ari and Nathaniel and Karlee, and of course their dog Fern!


Jake decided to take Koda, and she actually did really good. Of course we had to help her over the big rocks, but she made it to the top!!!

This is her at the top getting a rest! She was pretty pooped, but she made it back down!

Life is Good!

It hasn't felt much like summer with the rain every day, but one thing we know for sure is that it is fabulous to not have any homework!!!!! We've mostly been busy with work. I have started to work as a dental hygienist and am loving it! I will be working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and every 1st and 3rd Saturday at one office and Fridays at another office. I was really worried about being able to find work, but as always things worked out just great. Somebody's watching out for us!
Jake's Grandpa and Grandma Jensen have been married for 50 years!!!! It was so fun to get together with his ENTIRE family to celebrate it!!! We love them and are so grateful for their example in our lives!

It really was a better kiss than it appears....my camera is just really bad at getting a good shot when timing is an issue!!!! Hopefully when Christmas rolls around next year we won't be having that problem any more!!!!





Koda has taken a lot of time and patience like I knew she would, but we love her. This is what happens when she gets worn out...I love her nap times! She loves to lay on her back to get her tummy scratched, but it sure doesn't look like a very comfortable sleeping position!

The best part about getting a new puppy:

Getting breakfast in bed on a Sunday morning because Jake had to get up early to let her go out to the bathroom!

Jake's famous chocolate chip pancakes but in a special "I love you"! I love that boy!

We've got some NEWS!

We have been CRAZY busy the past month. Life just NEVER slows down!!! I'm going to try to keep this to a brief update.
We officially have a new address! We are still unpacking a few boxes, but it is great to FINALLY have a place of our own! We are so excited! It's been a LOT of work, but well worth it!

I found out that I passed my final board exam (YAHOO!) with 100% baby! Now I'm just waiting for my license and on the lookout for a new job!!! If anybody knows if a dentist in need of a hygienist you better let me know!
Jake and I have now been married for 2 years, as of May 24th! It is so crazy how the time flies! I am the luckiest girl in the world! I love him to pieces and am so grateful for how good he treats me! I look foward to so many more years to come...actually for FOREVER!
We went camping with our friends, Nate and Karlee, and brother Connor for Memorial Day weekend up BlackSmith Fork Canyon and had a blast! When these guys get together they are like little boys!

This is them with their homemade bat and ball they found while exploring!

Nate getting a hit!

They LOVE their sling shots!

Connor was up in the tree to help Jake and Nate spot the fish.
And the result.....

They even went on a bike ride.

We FINALLY talked the boys into putting down their toys for a few minutes and making us some shelter! I must say they did a pretty fine job!

Karlee and I hung out by the fire most of the time trying to stay warm. We had fun visiting and enjoying our books!
Thanks you guys for the fun, relaxing, wet weekend with such yummy food!

We've had fun being with family and friends:

I was able to get off work to go to my friend Trina's bridal shower. Stacy and I have been friends with Trina and Emily since we were 16 when we met them at EFY! I love these girls!

Trina, Jeff, Jake and I, Stacy and Jeremy. We are so lucky to have such great friends!


Congrats Connor on your highschool graduation! We're proud of you! (too bad it was from SV instead of MC :)

Celebrating at Cafe Sabor!

and our latest news:
After 2 long years Jake finally convinced me he needed a puppy. Actually maybe convinced is the wrong word, because I'm still not completely on board! I just told him I was going to have to trust him on this one!
She is a springerdoodle (mix between a poodle and springer spaniel). She shouldn't shed and should get to be the size of a springer. Jake is in heaven. I'm loving her, but just praying it wasn't a mistake!!!

Have you ever seen a HAPPIER face? I don't think its possible!

Koda getting her very first bath!
