We're finally parents...

Just kidding about the title thing ;) hah...

But, I love little kids if you guys didn't know and we got the cutest pictures at Ben and Raquel's wedding the other day, so I just have to put them up!

My Aunt's sister had twins and Nick and I took care of them at the reception for awhile. It was so fun! They are the cutest little kids and Nick looks like the perfect little daddy :)

This week in Nick & Dana's lives...

Well, this past week I got a job at a store called Abella Bridal. It's a really fun place to work. Here are some of my favorite dresses they have at the store.

Nick and I are still doing great, and we will be coming up to 11 months now of marriage on August 1st. I can't believe how time has flown by so fast!

Today in primary we had one little girl to teach. Her name is Sophie, she has long blond curly hair, she looks like a little doll.

Anyways, so today Nick was telling a story about a little girl named Angela. Angela had stolen something from one of her friends. Nick turned to the girl in our class and asked, "Sophie, how do you think Angela felt after she had stolen her friends toys? Do you think she felt happy (Nick smiled) or sad (Nick frowned)? The little girl in our class looked at Nick and she said, "She had the frowning face, but her nose was probably a little bit shorter than yours."

Here's another funny thing she said today.

Me: "So Sophie, when your mom asks you what you learned in Primary today, what are you going to tell her?"

Sophie: "I'm going to tell her the truth"

Our Little Fern

The other day I was waiting for Nicholas to get home from work and he was taking forever. Finally it was about half an hour since he had called the first time and said he was on his way home. I picked up my phone and looked out the window when all the sudden he opened the door and popped inside! He gave me a big hug and smiled and I was about to say something along the lines of..."Man, what took you so long??" but he pulled out this cute little fern behind his back and said, "Here you go, I bought this for you!" :D :D It was so cute! He said, "I was thinking about buying you flower's but they'll just die right away." It's true. It's been like 3 weeks now and our little fern is still sitting there growing :) So, that's my love story for the week. I Love you Nick!!

Here is a cake I made in my elementary ed Art class. It's made from some clay stuff that you can buy at craft stores like Michael's or Roberts.

Camping Trip

Sometimes I get really bored here at home by myself.........
So... I write an extremely long post!! :) a couple.. or a few weekends ago Nick and I went camping. First we tried going up squaw peak to find some camping grounds there, but... that was quite a disaster. We got there and there was only one spot left, the worst spot ever! The grass was overgrown, the table was so dirty with bird poop all over it. The spot for the tent wasn't shaded and the sun was beating down on it. Worst of all, we went to go pick up the ticket to pay and on the lid there were about 100 little caterpillar guys crawling all over it! I told Nick I hated bugs and especially when they were falling out of the trees on top of me. I tried to suck it up until we were in the car and Nick said, "Hold still there's a little caterpillar on your shoulder." I freaked out. I'm not going to lie. So we left and we went to look for a better spot. I'm glad we did, because the place we found after that was so nice and the perfect spot!


We finally got there and settled in around 7 or 7:30 p.m. We set up the tent and camping chairs then started on dinner. We had freeze dried Lasagna! Yummy :) It was actually very good. Better than my cooking at home. hahah. After that we ate some treats, sat by the fire and talked, then we brushed our teeth and got ready for bed.

Our first night there sitting around the camp fire.

Ok, the next morning we woke up and stretched for a little bit and decided to start making breakfast. Nick wouldn't let me cook anything so I just took the pictures. :) We had a DELICIOUS breakfast which consisted of: Eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and Juice (Tampico-my favorite!). The breakfast was so delicious!

Our wonderful breakfast!

Anyways, so after we stuffed ourselves with breakfast we were so full we felt like we couldn't even walk. We had planned to go on a hike though and if you know Nick and I... we don't give in and we do what we plan! I'm glad we went on it too, it was fun and it helped burn off some of those calories we had just gained.

Here's me just strolling along

Nick jumping and me trying to get a picture of it... It was great.

Just hiking...

Nick with our brand new camping stove!

After the hike we walked back down to the car. We said goodbye to our camping spot, and the managers of the campground (who had become our friends earlier) and we drove home.

So, as you hopefully can tell, we had a wonderful time! It was fun to finally be able to do things outdoors and be with Nick :) He loves camping. I do too, probably not as much as him, but I still do :)

Finally... school is over

- These are pictures of our Trip to Zions Park!-

- Our Wedding Album, which looks absolutely gorgeous! -

I am never going back to campus again!! Until Fall semester starts. Ok.. well, maybe I'll go there a couple of times to meet Nick for lunch or something, but that's it. My finals went pretty swell though, I got a 97% on my first one and pretty sure I got like a 110% on my second one. ha.. that was a joke.

Nick is at work again. I start my work on Monday, I am excited.
So.. today we get to go camping!! Nick has planned this wonderful trip for us and I am so excited. I can't wait to get out of here.

Last night I came home from Raquel's bridal shower and I walked in and there was this huge tent in the middle of our living room with a little lantern on inside of it! Nick had set it up and it was fun to go inside with him! It was so cool. He even bought me a brand new sleeping bag! :D I am excited to try it out.

-My new sleeping bag, Lantern, and camping food! ;) -

A little update on mine & Nick's lives..

Tomorrow is the last day of finals! Yay :) I have to take 2 finals tomorrow and after that I will be so happy that classes will be done. I can't wait for the summertime, I LOVE the summer!

Well, an update with our lives.. Nick is working with BYU right now and I will start work on Monday after all my school is done.

We are just working, and relaxing at home for the summer. Hopefully we can take a vacation sometime this summer to Colorado or somewhere else. Nick's great grandma is having an early birthday/family reunion party in two weeks. We will be going to that and his family will all be coming out to Utah. It will be fun.

Nothing much is new. We are just doing great and having fun. So if anything exciting happens we will let you know! :)

"That's not Sister Jensen"

Well, today in primary Nick and I had such a wonderful time, and every Sunday our kids remind us how special they are to us.

Anyways, recently we had a new primary teacher called to teach one of the Junior Primary classes. Today our primary president said, "Sister Jensen will you come up and hold this for me?" One of the little kids in our class looked at me and smiled. Then he realized I wasn't moving and told me, "Sister Jensen, they called you up, you have to go." He looked up at the front and the new primary teacher had gone up to help our primary president. I looked at him and said, "Oh, no.. It's ok Ethan, she was talking to the other lady, her name is Sister Jensen too." He replied back, "No, she's not.. you are." Then he looked up at our primary president and loudly said, "Hey, that's not sister Jensen!" (I don't think she heard, but Nick sure had a good laugh).

So, after Ethan realized the lady was not going to sit down he looked back at me and again said, "You are Sister Jensen." I replied back, "Oh, so am I the only one who can be Sister Jensen?" He smiled and nodded his head Yes.

That's how wonderful our Primary kids are! :)
