Prepare to be amazed

In case you didn't know, I am not creative, esp when it comes to food. Well this is my moment. check this out. I made this watermelon cake all by myself. Everything you see is watermelon. Yeah, pretty freakn amazing.

Happy Birthday to Jensyn

Look how far we have come :). I swear the first year is a crazy blur, and it is bitter sweet now Jensyn is 1. I just want to hold her and squeeze her and never let her go. What a sweet little girl. We are so lucky to have her with us. If I only knew then what I know now I wouldn't have worried for 9 months, I would have dropped to my knees with thankfulness.

It has been a year

So it has been a year (a couple days over) since I have worked- out side the home. Hmmm. How do you feel about that Jessie? Well, it is super weird. First of all it doesn't seem like a year. And I thought I would miss it a whole lot more.

Things I do miss: the lifeguards and their silliness, the paycheck, feeling like I was making things better (although in hine sight it is all relative), the silly frog suit (as seen here being worn by my favorite co-worker Cathy).

Things I don't miss: Ridiculous reports that go no where, people who don't do their job, complaining (me and other people).

Things that are better: not having to get MJ up, dressed and fed before she is ready, not missing out on silly things the girls do, being able to feel like I have more control over the care for my kids (although this is a catch 22), and the best part- being able to do things with the girls that they really enjoy- the park, the library, museums, projects, making things, swimming.

All and all I couldn't ask for more- ok, well maybe a better paycheck because I am working twice as hard as when I had "a job."

Dance Dance Baby

P A R T YYYY?? Because Jens and Logan turned 1!

So in case you missed it- we had the party of the year, if not the century. And I may say it was AWESOME. Here are some pix highlights.

Yep, there is hope

YES I CAN cook occasionally, and may even get creative if your not careful.

Swimming with Fam

Today we went to the pool for that last time this season (except for Jens party). Clark was able to go. It is sooo much easier when there is someone there to help. MJ got a big kick out of showing off for Clark.

We also met some other fam peeps.

I had a dream

I have crazy dreams. The other night I had a dream that we were with Keith Olberman in SLC. He had picked us up and was taking us somewhere, but he refused to go down town. Very strange and vivid. Analyze that one?!

I am not a Hater, but . . .

I love the Olympics. so awesome, and makes me think despite our president, the world doesn't hate us, and we (the U.S.) do good things. I especially love it when people win the first ever medal for their country. It gives me chills. But I will be happy to not get sucked into watching hours of TV. And I will be happy when the love of my life wont get sucked in too :).
