JENSEN FAMILY OLYMPICS!

 We started an Olympic Jensen Family Tradition in the summer of 2021 for the 2020 Summer Olympics (that were held a year later due to covid). It was so much fun to get together with all the cousins and do the carrying of the torch, get in teams from the counries the boys served their missions in and compete in little minute to win it games that we did it again this year! Sadly, Emma has her new life in Idaho so Katy came as our replacement Emma. We ended up in 3rd place but that's because Nathan kept telling his mom to take away our points and give it to him - ha ha! Love our Jensen family get togethers! Building cousin relationships is the best!! 

TWINS WRESTLE JARED!

 It's well over a year since the twins have wrestled Jared...tonight they felt his testosterone had come up enough that he it was a fair fight...well, Jared's still got it! He won, but he won it huffin and puffin! This might be the last fight he wins! ha ha!

HIGH ADVENTURE GIRLS CAMP!

 Our ward did a fundraiser for Youth Camp back in March and we raised enough funds that we got to take the girls on a High Adventure Girls Camp! We went up to Flagstaff and stayed at the Ethiers cabin. We hiked the 7 mile super hot hike to "The Crack", went cliff jumping, went to Flagstaff Extreme and went ziplining, rode the coaster at Canyon Coasters and raced on the tube slides, stayed up way to late laughing with the girls and then even later with Emily and Renae in our room, hit up the Snowflake Temple, watched the girls bond and get to know each other better and ate a ton of food! Then we came back and I gave ANOTHER talk in Sacrament and then I was in charge of the combined young men and young women lesson and we talked about Pioneers and learned about the song "Come, Come Ye Saints"! It was a long weekend, but a good weekend! I love the youth! 

COUSIN GET TOGETHER!

 Paul came to Arizona and called me up to see if I could hang out with him and Emily and we decided to turn it into a party! We had all the local cousins come over and we ate dinner, caught up, played games and laughed till it hurt! It was short, but it certainly filled my cup! 

4th OF JULY!

 This year we headed over to the Varvels house for BBQ, swim, games and fireworks! Katy came with us and Eli and his friend were supposed to come with us and then Eli found out he had to work 30 minutes before we left so sadly, we missed him. Still a great time celebrating America's birthday!  (Emma and Hunter spent it up in Island Park, ID with his family!)
