Projects!
OMGosh!!! I am so stinkin' excited about my next projects. I bet you'll never guess what I'm going to make with this stuff!! I think you'll be plesently suprised! I'll show you as soon as its done- which shouldnt be too long cuz Im soo excited I cant put it off!
So I havent posted anything about Tyson lately and I need to brag! So he's a little bit about Tyson Grady Jensen
He is 14 months old on Monday.
He walks everywhere and hardly ever wants to be carried anymore- except for those times when he is tired and grumpy and wants to be held NON STOP!
He gives really really great hugs which make me smile inside and out!
He loves to "talk". All though he is the only one that understands what he's saying.
He likes to point at everything. If we are walking through the store and see's something he wants to touch(oh and he likes to touch everything!) he will point and "talk". If he see's his pacifier up on the counter, he points at it. If he wants to go outside he points to the door. If its bed time but he still wants to play he'll point at his bedroom door wanting to go back to the living room!
He is learning to run and in doing so has gotten quite a few bumps and bruises.
He can feed himself with a fork..most of the time!
We are still working on trasitioning from bottle to sippy...2 down 2 more to go through out the day. The morning and night ones are the hardest!
He likes to go pull the movies off of the bookself when he is upset with me.
He thinks that anytime I turn on the computer it means we're going to skype someone- he gets so excited but then gets bored when all I am doing is checking my email!
He can climb onto the couch and the bench in the living room.
He loves to go play at the park and swim in his little pool in the yard.
He thinks its funny to pinch your arm when changing his diaper.
He got stunk by a bee when we were eating breakfast outside:(Im sure there are more things and I could go on forever but I'll stop there!

One of those days...
"The purpose of our existence is to attain true joy and happiness. “Men are, that they might have joy” (2 Ne. 2:25). The plan of salvation is often referred to as the plan of happiness. However, we are here to be tested. And since there is opposition in all things, all of us will experience sadness.
God wants us to be happy. But Satan is working to make our lives miserable. President Ezra Taft Benson explained that Satan’s tools for fighting the plan of happiness are “despair, discouragement, despondency, and depression”."- New Era
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."- Mathew 11:28
In Nazareth, the narrow road,
That tires the feet and steals the breath,
Passes the place where once abode
The carpenter of Nazareth.
And up and down the dusty way
The village folk would often wend;
And on the bench beside him lay
Their broken things for him to mend.
The maiden with the doll she broke,
The woman with the broken chair,
The man with broken plough, or yoke,
Said, "can you mend it carpenter?"
And each recievecd the things he sought,
In yoke or plough or chair or doll;
Then broken thing which each had brought
Returned again a perfect whole.
So, up the hill the long years through,
With heavy step and wistful eye,
The burdened souls their way pursue,
Uttering each the plaintive cry:
"O Carpenter of Nazareth,
This hear, thats broken past repair,
This life thats shattered night to death,
Oh can you men them Carpenter?"
And by His kind and ready hand,
His own sweet life is woven through
Our broken lives until they stand
A New Creation- "all things new."
"The shattered [substance] of [the] heart,
Desire, ambition, hope and faith,
Mould Thou into the perfect part,
O, Carpenter of Nazareth!"
Having one of those days today..well more like week actually. Feeling a little down, depressed, self conscience. But these things brought me comfort. Maybe they can help you too on those days we all have when seems like satan is working so hard at pulling us down into despair. We are here to have joy and I have OH SO MUCH to be joyful about! Tomorrow will be a new day

I should stop watching the news
One time my friend Emily, my sister Liana and I were walking down the street from our house when a large Hispanic man drove past in a large beat up blue car. After passing us he quickly turned around and started to follow us. We of course ran and ended up in another friends green house where we could look out and see the street without being seen. We saw him circle and circle and circle the block. Finally when he was gone we ran home and called the police- who did nothing.
Now when a car passes me while I going for my morning walk I look over my shoulder to make sure they dont turn around. If they do, I pretend to be going up the drive way to a house. Now this fear might stem from what happend when I was little, it might be hightened because I am now a Mother and want to protect my son from anything. But it also might be becasue I watch all of these stories on the news that happen to other people who say, "it will never happen to me." My mind is constantly filled with the fear of someone breaking into my house, of someone trying to get into my car while I am at a stoplight or of someone trying to harm me while I go for my morning walk. I try to think of everything I would do to get out of the grips of a bad guy. I have my phone in my pocket at all times incase something like this happens. I lock my bedroom door when I am blowdrying my hair. I know Im crazy!!
I recently watched the Primetime story of Jaycee Dugard and her horrendous nightmare of being kidnapped and held for 18 years. She told Diane Sawyer that when the car pulled up beside her she thought they were just going to ask for direcections but next thing she new she was being tazed and shoved into a van. I was thinking of this exact instance when Tyson and I were walking today-right about then I heard a car slowly pulling up behind me. I jumped to the side taking Tyson along with me. An older man and woman pulled up and asked me where the School was and I couldn't help but continue to think of the primetime show. I started to think of everything I would do incase this man's door started to open, just then I then saw a couple of giddy kids in the backseat who I could see were very excited and all dressed to go play at the playground. I felt guilty for thinking about this while these people were honestly just trying to find the park. Although my mind will probably still be filled with these thoughts- and I think to a point it is good to be aware of things that could happen- I think I will stop watching as many of these stories on the news so that my mind isn't taken over by these thoughts.
