Party Time!

On December 17th we went to our friends birthday party at out local skating rink. It was Megan's first time skating and she had a great time and did really well at it!

Here are some of the kids from the party with a weird looking Mickey Mouse that was walking around.

Kayaking Econfina Springs

Steen and Anton went kayaking the day after Thanksgiving. The weather was very nice and they had a great time hanging out together. Steen loves to take visitors to this place.

Anton and Steen

The water is so clear and the water temperature is always at about 70 degrees or so.

Pretty rock

Hi Anton!

Steen enjoying his calm surroundings.

It's Soccer Season Again!

Another season of soccer is upon us. Steen is coaching Daniel's U6 boys team and assistant coaching Megan's U8 girls team this season. We are keeping busy on the fields each Tuesday and Saturday for several hours it seems. Natalie and I love cheering for our little soccer players and are very proud of Steen, Megan, and Daniel.

Daniel's team is the Fireballs!

Megan's team is the Pink Pandas!

End of the season for Daniel

Last week Daniel finished his very first season of soccer! He had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the sport. Sometimes Daniel was on fire and was a great player and other times he just ran around the field like a confused chicken! We are proud of Daniel and are looking forward to many more seasons of soccer for this little guy!

Ready for the game!

A shot from behind. I loved how they had their names on their jerseys this season. So cute!

Soccer's done for Megan!

Megan successfully finished up her third season of soccer this last weekend. She had the best season yet and of course really enjoyed having Steen as her coach. We are looking forward to playing again in the fall. Good job Megan!

All ready for her last game!

Megan loves trophy time and also got an award for being the most aggressive player on her team. Way to go Megan!

Soccer

The kids are still playing soccer and are having a great season. They both only have two games left. I realized I haven't been taking very many pictures of them playing this season. So I've made a goal to bring my camera to their last few games and hopefully get a few pics.

Here's Daniel about to start a game last week. He said his sun glasses would help him run faster...

Happy Birthday D!

Daniel turned 4 years old on March 24th! We had a fun and very busy day. He started off the day with chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, I gave him a birthday haircut, he took a big bubble bath and got to watch one of his favorite cartoons. For lunch we had two of his best buddies met up with us for some pizza and ice cream at a friends ice cream shop. The boys had a great time hanging out and eating together for Daniel's big day. We then came home and opened presents as a family and were off to the soccer field for team pictures and a game. After soccer we came home for cake and ice cream and then it was off to bed. Daniel had a wonderful fun filled day and is very excited to be a BIG 4 year old now!

Here's the three kiddos at present opening time.

I caught the boys playing with their sisters Barbie collection during half time.

Here's the proud birthday boy with his chocolate cake with green frosting and sprinkles!

Yum yum! Just what I wanted - lots of chocolate!

Happy Birthday to our very special 4 year old Daniel!

Daniel the Soccer Star!

This big guy scored 6 goals at his last game. I think we have a soccer star in the making!

Daniel's 1st Soccer Game!

Daniel had his first soccer game on Thursday night. It was a blast! If you ask him, he'll tell you that he scored 5 GOALS when in all actuality he scored ONE! He had a great time and it sure is fun to watch all the three and four year old running in all directions on the field during the game! We are in for a fun season. Go DINOSAURS!!

Here's my proud soccer star!

2 Wheelin' It

Megan has been begging for about two months to have us teach her how to ride a two wheeler. So finally a few weeks ago Steen took off her training wheels and I taught her how to ride her bike. It only took her about 5 minutes to figure it out. She loves riding her bike like a big kid now. Good job Megan!

Soccer Season - Over!

Saturday Megan had her last soccer game of the fall season. We had a good time this season and of course Megan loved having Steen and Tanner be her coaches. She also enjoyed making new friends and becoming a better soccer player this season. Megan has a lot of skills that she still needs to learn and become better at, but regardless she had a great time! In a few weeks we will have our end of the year party and awards. Megan is looking forward to getting another trophy!

Here's the big Megan after her game.

Baseball Season - Over!

Last week the kids had there last baseball practice and small game. They have learned a lot over the last 6 weeks and have had a lot of fun being on the same team. We may have some future little baseball players on our hands. After the game the kids received balls, bats, gloves, and medals. They thought it was pretty awesome.

Right before there big game!

And here's Natalie cheering on her brother and sister from the bleachers.

Take me out to the ball field

Daniel and Megan started baseball last week. They are doing a 7 week program on base and had a great first practice! It's really fun to have them enrolled together.

Here's our little baseball buddies!

Here's M practicing her batting skills!
Here's the group of us with Steen taking the picture.
Daniel gets so excited to just hit the ball so Steen helps him with his form sometimes!

Here's to a fun (and busy) next few weeks!

Score!

Last night Megan had a game and team pictures. I made all of the girls matching bows and they looked adorable. Megan also scored her first goal of the season, so she was way proud. Tomorrow Megan and Daniel are starting a 6 week round of baseball. I'm a little scared of seeing all the kids running around with bats and balls. It should be interesting! Pics to come...

This N That...

We've been super busy the last few weeks. We've moved, unpacked, been busy with soccer, school, baby showers and birthday parties. The list could go on. Things are great though. We love our new house, the neighborhood, and the ease of getting Megan to and from school now. But just when you think that things are going to slow down a bit, the phone rings with someone needing something or you just look to next weeks calendar and you're busy again. That's ok though - being busy is good and it keep us Jensens out of trouble!

As we were unpacking the kids had a great time building a fort made of boxes.

Daniel called it his pirate ship and Megan called it her princess castle.
SOCCER - Tanner and Steen are doing a great job coaching the Purple Unicorns this season.

Megan getting ready to kick the ball in.

Here's 6 of the 8 Purple Unicorns. Aren't they so cute?!

Here's my favorite of them all.

Steen had the day off today so in honor of him and Megan being home we decided to head for the beach. We had a great time despite the water being a little green with algae. And Megan just loves the beach. She's a Florida beach babe for life!

The kids always make Tanner dig them holes in the sand.

Natalie loves the beach almost as much as Megan and Daniel. She's too cute for words!

Soccer Season

Another season of soccer has begun. Megan had her first practice last night. She is very excited about her new team and of course her coach who happens to be her Daddy again! This is the only pic I got of her last night. Don't you just love the blue knees and hands? They painted the fields and everyone was a mess! Here's to another fun and exciting soccer season!

End of the Season!

Soccer season is over. It's been fun and we'll definitely do it again. Megan had a great time playing and Steen had a great time coaching. Here are a few pics from our last game and then from our end of the year party.
