Visit from the Arizona Jensen's!


Not to long after getting home from New Jersey, we got to have Kory, Starr and their kids come for a visit. It was so fun catching up with them and even more fun for our girls to get to know their cousins. They really hit it off with Seneca and were very sorry to see them go! It was Rendezvous here that weekend so it was fun to watch the parade and check out some of the vendors set up. If you are ever in the market for animal skins...this is the place to be!

Valley Forge


Absolutely beautiful place. This was the first time I have been here and the views just took my breath away! Mom, Dad, GP, me and the girls had a great time visiting all of the different historical sites. It was fun to peak into some of the old cabins and fields where the armies trained. Visiting places like this make me so grateful for all those who have and are sacrificing their time and lives for our freedoms.

Washington's Headquarters...this is actually what my dream house looks like. I wonder how out of place it would look in Pinedale?


Of course...mom packed an awesome lunch!


Shelby and the cannon...she wanted to see if she could see a cannonball! Shelby found a baseball on the ground and called it her Yankee Ball...she thinks any baseball should be a yankee ball. The girls were tossing and rolling it back to each other, it went into a field. Gp and the girls went after it...found out later, probably not a good idea. Karlee, GP and I all had ticks attached to us and found them when we got home.

Yankee Stadium

This night was another awesome night...just like Amish country reminds me of my Mom, the Yankees always remind me of my Dad. Gene Paul flew in today in time for the game and to spend a few days in NJ. He was a little tired but had sooo much fun at the game too. One of the best nights of our trip back east with our family all together!
A-ROD!!

Jeter....(Sigh...)


Dad, GP, me and Larlee got the great seats, while Mom, the girls and Ty and Jenna had the not so great seats. If you look closely...you can see Mom in white with the girls sitting on either side of her. The girls love watching the yankees on TV and so it was fun to see it "in real life". By the end of the game they were getting a little restless and so mom got out the baby wipes and they thoroughly cleaned their seats...probably the cleanest those seats will ever be!

Damon was the closest player to us...and he even waved at Larlee...well at least he waved towards our direction! :)


Yep....we were this close!


After the game we all met up...the girls had so much fun with Grandma, Uncle Ty and Aunt Jenna and were pretty tired. They fell asleep in the car before we made it out of the parking lot!

Cherry Picking

We went and picked cherries for Mom to make some jam with. The girls thought it was so cool to be able to pick cherries form the trees!The girls helped Grandma with pitting the cherries...couldn't resist taking a picture of Shelby....she got into Aunt Larlee's closet and came out with her swimsuit. :)
