Bike rides and Beach days

Nash and Natalie loved going on a few bike rides in the trailer with Andrew as the driver. They are so cute together!

The beach was awesome while Andrew and Keali were here. We couldn't have asked for better weather considering it was the last week of December. Nash could live on the beach. That boy just loves the sand so much!

Fun times in the sand and sun.

Here's the kids one day when we went on a walk to collect shells.

Thanks for visiting us Atlanta Jensens. We love you guys and always have such a great time with you when you come!

Alys Beach

Andrew, Keali and Nash came down from Atlanta for the week after Christmas. We had a great time with them. One of the days they were here we went down to Alys Beach for some play time at the park and then dinner at La Cocina. Here's a few pics from the day.

Random pics from the last week or so...

Here's a few random pics from the last week or two. We had a lot of fun with Anton and Far Mor. They both were so helpful and fun to have around. We miss you both already!

Two weeks old. What a cuttie pie!

Shopping at the Destin outlet malls (for 4 hours) with a new baby and my other three kids.

Yes, I think we were all a little crazy, but everyone managed very well! And we got some great deals too!

Gotta love the beach. Megan sure does love her Far Mor too.

Shell collecting and toes dipped in the water. A perfect afternoon at the beach.

Far Mor and Megan went on a date and were able to watch the sunset together one night.

Anton served as an indoor jungle gym (among other things) for the kids the week he was here. Come back Anton, we are bored without you!

Decorating the tree!

We had a nice time over the weekend decorating the tree and the house. It's starting to feel like Christmas around here and we love it! Far More got each of the kids a new ornament for the tree. It was nice to have lots of help decorating this year!

Far Mor and Kyle.

Kyle's new ornament is a little pea pod. How fitting!

The finished product! The pic is a little blurry, but you get the picture!

Megan with her new flamingo.

Daniel with his silly alligator!

And Natalie with her rock'n Rudolph.

A visit from Seattle David!

In September Steen's best friend David came to visit us all the way from the soggy Northwest! It was great to see him. We had a lot of fun with him. It must be because he's a red head. Steen had the most fun for sure. Those boys acted like they were 16 again. They went and saw several movies, they went go cart racing, and stayed up way to late every night. Thanks for a fun weekend visit David!

On the Pier Park Pier

We went for a nice Sunday evening stroll over at Watercolor.

Cute Natalie

The gang minus Steen!

A super fun weekend!

We had a great past weekend with lots of fun, family, and memories. It all began with Katie's 30th birthday on Thursday. Katie had a great day and felt very loved and spoiled by her family and friends. The day got even better when Andrew, Keali and Nash came for a weekend visit from Atlanta. It was our first time meeting Nash. He is such a sweet little guy! We spent the weekend eating great food, spending lots of time at the beach & pool, and hanging out with each other. Here are a few pics of the weekend happenings!

Happy big 30 Katie!

Nash loved everything about the beach! He even thought the sand was yummy!

Beach bum Natalie.

Ready to go for an evening walk on the pier with Pier Park in the background.

We saw lots dolphins in the bay when we were out on the pontoon boat.

Here's a little video of the baby dolphin that came right next to the boat. It was amazing!

Thanks for coming to visit Andrew, Keali and Nash. We had a great time and can't wait to see you guys again sometime soon.

Visitors!

We had some super fun visitors this past week. Katie and Rose came from cold and rainy Washington. We did some swimming in the pool, took a few trips to the beach, did way too much shopping and we all had a great time being together. Here's a few pics from the week.

We went to the state park on Thursday. It was an adventurous visit.

Rose loved everything about the beach. She couldn't get enough of it!

How cute! Little Jensen cousins.

We had to take one last look at the beach before the girls went to the airport. It was a picture perfect day!

Thanks for coming to Florida Katie and Rose. We love having visitors and had a great time with you!

A visit from Janet and Elyana

This past week we had some visitors come all the way from Washington to see us! Janet and her new baby Elyana came and boy did we have a great week together. We hadn't seen each other for about 18 months and lots has happened and changed since we last saw each other. It was a great visit and we definitely had TONS OF FUN! Here's a few pics of what we did.

We went swimming in the pool a few times.

We of course went to the beach.
We went out to lunch.

We went out on one of the piers.

I got to spend lots of time with my new favorite friend!

Janet loved the beach while Elyana didn't know what to think of it!

You guys are going to have to come back soon (and bring Joe) cause we already miss you! Thanks for a super visit girls!
