Growing Fast

It is hard to believe how big our kids have gotten over the past month. Rylee has such a strong personality and communicates so well these days. She tells us what she wants and basically when she wants us to do it. She has always loved her brother so much. She is always concerned where he is and what he is doing.

Tyler is growing up so much also. He still has NO teeth and loves food so much the only problem is that he has no teeth! :( He is almost walking and he pulls himself up on everything and loves standing up. He is such a great nature child.

We were giving the kids a bath tonight and Ry and Ty had such a great time. Tyler started moving his arms so then his big sister had to copy him. They truly love each other!

Bath Time Fun

Finally some SUN!

Can you believe it we finally got some sun in Washington for once. We have had a really wet winter so far so it was so nice going to the park and enjoying some fresh air with the kids. It was nice for them to run around and burn some energy off.

We went out to Fort Steilacoom and it was so much fun!

We're Back!

We have been very busy these last couple of weeks. I (rylee) misplaced my camera under our guest bed and I just found that a few days ago. We are all organized in our new house and we love every minute of it. Brian and I tore out a few trees this past weekend and then went to the dump three times. Here is what we been up too:

Rylee:
* Loves her brother and now calls him TY-YA (she is saying Tyler but can't say the L)
* She can now recognize all the animals in Brown Bear Brown Bear
* She LOVES Barney and I mean love she asked for the video all day long. We often tell her that he is sleeping.
* Loves working outside in the dirt
* Loves watching UNCLE NICK coach basketball and repeats all of his hand signs
* Loves TIC TACS

Tyler:
* Has mastered crawling and he is very fast now!
* Has mastered pulling himself up on anything
* Loves pulling his sisters hair
* Loves solid foods so much
* Is sleeping from 7PM to 6AM which is amazing for our family and then sleeps two more hours! Finally a child that sleeps
* Loves baths with his sister
* Loves watching Barney too!


We have been so busy lately as you can see with two VERY active kiddos. We love every minute of it and can't ask for anything else in the world!

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas! We went down to Portland to spend time with our family and drove back on Christmas Eve and then we spent Christmas Day at Brian's parents house. We all had a great time and Ry and Ty were spoiled. Rylee loved opening up gifts and she tore each piece off one by one and then love looking at all of her new treasures. She got so many great times from a bike,to a play kitchen, to a doll house. Santa brought her own trampoline and she loves jumping. She has mastered jumping on two feet from her gymnastic training. Tyler loved looking at the paper and all of the people. He got some new clothes and some cool new books. Thank you everyone for such a great weekend!

MERRY CHRISTMAS LOVE THE JENSENS

Santa Came To University Place

Santa took a trip from the North Pole to come and see the kids in University Place today. Rylee was not a big fan of sitting on Santas lap but she said SANTA all the way to him. Tyler was perfect and he loved Santa. We then went on a train ride through University Place Village. We loved every minute of it and the kids were perfect.

Rylee and Tyler made me a birthday cake with Grandma. They did such a great job!






Today was also Tylers 6 month birthday! He is starting to sit up by himself and is rolling all through the house. He has his first cold though. He still wakes up once a night and is such an amazing baby!
