Wow it has been awhile

It has been awhile since I posted...so I will give a brief update. Brennan, Ashton, and I have all been sick with Brennan actually having RSV and having to do breathing treatments in order to get his wheezing under control. He is doing much better now and we were so relieved that he never got so bad that he had to stay in the hospital. It was very scary with him sick though because he slept for over 22 hours a day and refused to eat. So glad he is better though! =)

We also just got back from a family vacation to California to Knotts Berry Farm and Midieval Times. The kids had a blast and it was so nice to get away and actually have a husband at night time! I think that is honestly my favorite part of vacations actually seeing my hubby for dinner and getting help putting my kids to bed. Brennan did really good driving to Cali but then decided he didn't want to be in his car-seat at all anymore so it was a LONG, TOUGH trip home. The boys were so excited to see Snoopy and they got to see snoopy every night at the hotel which was lots of fun too! Brennan was not too impressed with Snoopy and I think he cried every single time we saw snoopy! =) We went to Midieval times for Josh's birthday and the boys were just amazed with the dinner show...I dont think they took their eyes off the guys as they were fighting! The guy we were cheering for gave me a flower one of the times when he won and Kaden looked at Josh and said "Why is that guy giving my mom a flower??" He was very upset by that and we had to explain that they do that during their show and that it was just for fun! We had a blast though but we are glad to be home relaxing and getting back into a schedule.

Finally, Josh is still looking for a different job hopefully a day one or at least one which will begin the process of him moving up within the company. The only bad thing is that we are stuck at Purina until January of 2011 or else we owe them lots of money for Josh's schooling so we dont have many options of jobs which has been really frustrating. We are really praying for God to give patience to specifically me as I am desperately wanting Josh home at night.

I will try and post pictures soon of our trip and of the kiddos!

2009 is over!!!

I feel like God has really blessed us throughout the past year. He has given us 3 amazing and adorable little boys, and I feel so blessed to be chosen to have 3 wonderful little boys. I never thought that I could have so much excitement with having three boys, but through wonderful friends and the understanding that God is in control, I have been able to be content and excited with my boys! I wouldn't have it any other way! =)



This year has really helped us in seeing that God is in control and that he can do anything. This was especially seen through Kaden's eyes and thinking that he may have life changing issues going on with his eyesight! God helped Josh and I in being able to trust Him through this difficult time, which helped us in turning to God and letting him hold us as we dealt with all the emotions. We have also learned to become patient while waiting for another job for Josh.



Josh and I have been able to see many sides of God throughout the year helping us to learn more about Him. We have been blessed this past year in many different ways and have enjoyed growing in our faith with Christ! We are anxious to see all that God will do in 2010.

Our newest family member!! and UPDATE on Kaden

We are loving every min with our three boys. Brennan has really been a happy baby and is so much fun to just hold and cuddle with. He is my little cuddle bug! One Monday we took him in for his check up and were excited that he only lost 1/2 an ounce so he is eating well and doing great. He was also looking so good that the Dr took him off of his billi blanket so now he is much easier to cuddle with and we are grateful that the jaundice is no longer there. Kaden and Ashton love their baby brother and are always wanting to help with him and hold him. They are such good big brothers.

We took Kaden to the eye dr again last Wed and they did the eye tests again to check his eyesight. The first one the machine which determines the eyesight still showed poor eyesight showing that he needed glasses for sure. I still didn't believe it because of watching Kaden for the past couple of weeks and not seeing problems with him seeing things. I was frustrated but just continued praying about Kaden, his eyes, and my emotions. So then we went into the room and the assistant again tested his eyes manually and still was getting the same results as the machine. So the Dr came in and I told her I just don't think his eyes are that bad and that I was really confused with the eye results, so she tested them again. Before she started I reminded Kaden to at least try even if he doesn't know what the pictures are and that when he is done we will go out for a treat just the two of us. SOOOOO as soon as I said that he looked at the screen and told us every single picture. After really testing him it was concluded that his eyesight is almost perfect and that there is not much need at all for glasses. We were so relieved and thrilled about the news. I even told the Dr that our entire church has been praying for him as well as many other people and that I believe that God has healed him and his eyes. We are so happy that Kadens eyes are fine and are so thankful of this miracle. God is truly amazing and all powerful!

Welcome to the world Brennan!!!

On Thursday, November 19th 2009 at 9:31 pm we welcomed Brennan Christopher W. Jensen into the world. He is a healthy and beautiful little boy with dark eyes. Brennan was 20 inches long and weighed 6 pounds and 3 ounces. He was anxious to get out and we were lucky that we made it to the hospital.

On Thursday, I started feeling contractions around 4 ish, they started becoming more consistent around 5:30 ish and were around 3 min apart around 8:30. I still was not convinced to go to the hospital but with my brother telling me I needed to go, I finally decided I would call Josh at work and head over there. We got to the hospital at 9:13pm, made it to our room at 9:20pm, and he made his entrance at 9:31pm. It was really quick that no one else made it to the hospital and the only reason a Dr delivered was because he had been called in, to deliver another baby. Since the other baby wasn't ready to come out he quickly delivered Brennan and then left in order to deliver the other baby. It was very exciting hearing for the first time that we had a baby boy and as soon as the Dr announced this, Brennan peed all over the Dr., most of the nurses, and me. The Dr and nurses said that they have NEVER seen a newborn pee this much ever. It was pretty funny!

It was also fun to see the look on my parents and Josh's parents faces when they walked into the room and realized that the baby was already here. I was bummed that my mom missed it, especially since she has been at all my other deliveries.

Brennan is doing great although his Billirubbin levels are off so he has to lay on a billi blanket until told otherwise by the Dr. Since he has to be on this blanket we are patiently waiting for the company to bring us a rental blanket over so we can go home and see the boys. We will post pictures soon!

Finally answers on more then one thing....

So after waiting for over 2 1/2 hours at the Dr's office we finally got answers. Kaden does not have mascular dystrophy. We are so relieved and excited and are so thankful that God has answered our prayers and has healed our little boys eyes. The Dr did inform us that Kaden has a blonde fundus which is somewhat like being light skinned just making his macular and other parts of his eyes pale. The worst case scenario is that he could possibly be nearsighted later but not much chance at all of being blind which is such a praise. We take Kaden back to the specialist in 4 months just to re-examine him and he will get his eyes checked again on Wed because his eyesight was appearing to be different then at the first visit. The first visit it showed his eyes as being 20/50, 20/60 but today it looked like it was 20/30 in each eye which is another blessing in itself. God has truly protected and healed our little boy. I am so thankful for everyone and their prayers as we have struggled through this trial.

We also received an answer for Josh's job which we were not too thrilled with but know that Josh has something in mind for us. Josh got a call today saying that they had an over-welling response for the internship and that after considering Josh for the position they decided to hire someone with previous experience as well as more computer experience. We are bummed but realize with so many people out of work with experience that they are more qualified for the job making it a difficult time to start the process of moving up. We are going to continue looking for jobs within Purina until we are able to look outside of the company. We have to stay with Purina for a year as they helped us with school and if Josh quits now we will owe lots of money to the company for their financial help with Josh's schooling. We are praying that something would appear for Josh and have also decided to apply again next year for the internship. Josh has also decided that he will take some computer classes this upcoming semester in order to give him more knowledge of computers which is becoming important within many companies. We are excited to be able to stay in Flagstaff, but are bummed to not start the process of moving up within the company.

All I can do is PRAY!!

These past two weeks I have felt like I am on an emotional roller coaster. I am not quit sure how to deal and feel like I am just falling apart. I am so worried about tomorrow and am going crazy with emotions. Part of me wants to know what if anything is going on, but at the same time I feel like after tomorrow all hope of healing might be gone. I pray that God would heal Kaden and his eyes, but am prepared for the worst. I know that God is going to do great things with and through Kaden which helps in comforting me because God has the perfect plan for my little boy.

I am so thankful for all the people who are praying for my family and my little boy and have really felt God's love and tenderness through the numerous people which God has placed in my life and has used to comfort me. Through using these people I have been able to feel like God is holding me in order to help me through this time in my life. It has brought me closer to God through prayer and scripture allowing me to make it through.

Psalms 34:18 - brokenhearted for Kaden

My grandparents recently sent me a card which has helped in giving me just a little bit of peace as well as helping me in emotionally making it through this difficult time in my life.

The God who spoke STILL speaks....
The God who came STILL comes.
He comes into your world.

He comes TO DO what you can't
Because He is with you,
He will bring you through this difficult time.

Psalms 34:18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted."

This has really helped in reminding me that God is with me and is feeling my pain, the only way I can make it through this time is by turned to Him. I am so brokenhearted and have felt that I can't go on, but God is helping me in continuing on by turning to Him. It is also a good reminder that no matter what the results are that God is with me and is comforting me through this time. We are praying that the specialist that we are seeing will be able to clearly know what is going on with Kaden and are praying if it is something serious that God would heal him or that there is something that can be done in order to protect our babies eyes.
