This is the finale of her very many years of taking piano lessons. She's had WONDERFUL teachers! We've been very blessed! Here she is--our star!<br />

He was so excited to be baptized. It was a very busy day filled with lots of family. We were sitting in the church and I realized that Scott hadn't practiced with Sam like he had done with the others. This was a bit of mistake since Sam is still a little afraid of the water and not a fish like his older siblings. He was excited enough to not think about being afraid of the water, thank goodness. He did kick his little feet right up out of the water and had to break his dad's perfect record and needed to be baptized again. The second time his dad was sure to get him all the way under, barely. He is such a sweet boy! We love him and are so grateful that we got to have him in our family! Here are some pictures of his special day.<br />

Along with turning 8 Sam got to start Cub Scouts. He was so excited to get a scout shirt and get to be in scouts like his brother. He got his Bobcat at his first pack meeting and was the cutest scout ever!!<br />

We are all so proud of Sam and wish him many great years in the scouting program!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-15372644166480251722012-02-13T20:41:00.002-08:002012-02-15T16:32:55.155-08:00Catching upOur lives have been so crazy busy! I would never have imagined we'd be doing all we do! I had another surgery on December 8th that was a lot harder to recover from than I expected. It made our December pretty busy, but we survived and still did a lot. Here's a quick run down on a few of the many things we did.<br /><br />We started our Christmas with our traditional dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Then home to open our Christmas pajamas. Here's the crew with their new jammies.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBSGtDYPuikR84LBU6kTilchVrMyppUG_zNJZm06PF77IVYZIsWoufjJHldwKcuQ2vGWyHsk1vaYg39qpYF8bD4XX205eGXtTv8xA_MhY_AhOJYAn4OZS4V-Lu5WGevr6UPbI4gK9xWI/s1600/152.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBSGtDYPuikR84LBU6kTilchVrMyppUG_zNJZm06PF77IVYZIsWoufjJHldwKcuQ2vGWyHsk1vaYg39qpYF8bD4XX205eGXtTv8xA_MhY_AhOJYAn4OZS4V-Lu5WGevr6UPbI4gK9xWI/s400/152.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709439149617525954" border="0" /></a><br />We got up Christmas morning and opened presents. Here's a picture of the kids' favorite present. Well, Jed did LOVE his cell phone. :) (Oh, the dog's name is LuLu.)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtjANtoP-NUBW5E66b34lzU_55yDMj6eeu3FMdpBApR-Tw70Xn9TMZCirQv3GRa5Z3TctYmNi1CJ8hA_JSsa6IKpnBS1kPUlkVovrM9d3bI6ZOm-_LLfx5NCZmVFZCxH-X2uiWxWdXHk/s1600/031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtjANtoP-NUBW5E66b34lzU_55yDMj6eeu3FMdpBApR-Tw70Xn9TMZCirQv3GRa5Z3TctYmNi1CJ8hA_JSsa6IKpnBS1kPUlkVovrM9d3bI6ZOm-_LLfx5NCZmVFZCxH-X2uiWxWdXHk/s400/031.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709438407565323458" border="0" /></a><br />Then, we got things all put away at home, grabbed our suitcases and headed to the airport.

Hope you can get a taste of how very busy our lives our, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Being the mom to these 5 kids is way better than I could have dreamed! I'm so grateful for each of these kids and their great dad that quietly, but dutifully goes about helping us out. We all love him too!!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-67983589376739435262011-11-26T14:44:00.000-08:002011-11-26T15:21:55.268-08:00Happy Birthday Sam a little late!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXlVKUbmtKCYLcWkoQTydeZSR_WabLProNNjfCnnS1YdY08Ju_HuKBC8fWq6MW7aLBXsK32a_yfbQPFqVeYVx6UBKFTDLV8D9VzJ7ubBJC2PgzpAOxJQ9F6oaAx0lDLEgDZzPza8A0Ic/s1600/021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXlVKUbmtKCYLcWkoQTydeZSR_WabLProNNjfCnnS1YdY08Ju_HuKBC8fWq6MW7aLBXsK32a_yfbQPFqVeYVx6UBKFTDLV8D9VzJ7ubBJC2PgzpAOxJQ9F6oaAx0lDLEgDZzPza8A0Ic/s400/021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679447048203390562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Sam and Emilee<br /><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3PSQAJCxk-Zln26Sicl11MY_Z8e-_xs8NZktHgwjyw5QFOpZjAInnwZMiqsfPVKsRF6y2-3C4OYNoc-OZ3qioTUNNgy5tDzVyF84PkhxzvQcVc_p-SQdIm6msjoJu69tH16lGZQQG_4w/s1600/024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3PSQAJCxk-Zln26Sicl11MY_Z8e-_xs8NZktHgwjyw5QFOpZjAInnwZMiqsfPVKsRF6y2-3C4OYNoc-OZ3qioTUNNgy5tDzVyF84PkhxzvQcVc_p-SQdIm6msjoJu69tH16lGZQQG_4w/s400/024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679443652569555810" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Julia and Sam<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Pu2JCV-jJ6V8L9_NUAhIH4A47r_nl-hQXMogGR9ar-h9E8fZ7maSLeLW7LHWVzVbBd0RYjEEIY5-eVHtA3ufOaTaXLp3SUzUTmCHyGwDwSEgoQBbKv_kgYrca60RMWRV7o-6FG82TVQ/s1600/025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Pu2JCV-jJ6V8L9_NUAhIH4A47r_nl-hQXMogGR9ar-h9E8fZ7maSLeLW7LHWVzVbBd0RYjEEIY5-eVHtA3ufOaTaXLp3SUzUTmCHyGwDwSEgoQBbKv_kgYrca60RMWRV7o-6FG82TVQ/s400/025.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679441715237168834" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Jed, Sam and Victoria<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Q623rHkbzYcKbrF1r1FRS_JmYglUIXhQ_RE9rb4kUCIXTR6v5zYurjZpUHffNqK4FBfkJ0M0Bp5kM_iReup4_ph5GCe0XBLd6awcxAF8cXrozK7uXhOLKgi-VDD6U7NYr1nJRtwlpxo/s1600/026.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Q623rHkbzYcKbrF1r1FRS_JmYglUIXhQ_RE9rb4kUCIXTR6v5zYurjZpUHffNqK4FBfkJ0M0Bp5kM_iReup4_ph5GCe0XBLd6awcxAF8cXrozK7uXhOLKgi-VDD6U7NYr1nJRtwlpxo/s400/026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679440855351954818" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"Come on Mom, just take the picture so I can open my present!!!"<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgciWJh7TTtRevLjQiSKK6_tgrSLqt7nxXcYkLqNT9b8BZWCobc1JnRt8bbPwYKnbxtf-BDl7th53VqSvTz7gzLgUQvJ5pGj54DSi1uD1lYJrEgn9K1OfcuHaEw0I02esRryHE_eBSq1dE/s1600/038.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgciWJh7TTtRevLjQiSKK6_tgrSLqt7nxXcYkLqNT9b8BZWCobc1JnRt8bbPwYKnbxtf-BDl7th53VqSvTz7gzLgUQvJ5pGj54DSi1uD1lYJrEgn9K1OfcuHaEw0I02esRryHE_eBSq1dE/s400/038.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679440318973441602" border="0" /></a><br />Sam ordered a cheesecake with cherries on top.

I knew it would be the last time I'd see her in this life, but what happened I wasn't prepared for. When Angela and Amand found out I was headed to Arizona they jumped on planes and we were able to have a sweet day as sisters. It's been five years since we were all six together. We laughed and cried and cried and laughed. Each of us were able to tell Anna we loved her Wednesday afternoon after her husband gave her a blessing releasing her from this life. The last thing she said to me was, "I love you! I'll see you in the morning." I left her house that day thinking I would see her again, but also aching in my heart for her and her desire to be freed from her earthly body that caused her so much pain. I was worried about how long she'd have to live like that.</div><div> </div><div>That night she was transported to a Hospice Facility "just for the night" so they could get her started on some pain meds. The next morning she wouldn't wake up to see her kids before they went off to school. At 12:30 pm we were called to come and be with her. It was so hard to watch her in such a painful state! At 3:16 pm on September 29, 2011 as her sisters sang to her she drifted from this life into the next. We were so thankful that she went quickly, but so sad that we had to say good-bye in this life!</div><div> </div><div>All six Thomason girls on Wednesday September 28, 2011</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdaFGpaUxYaJqegeKu3T8kftlrBxJJ8NlH0yl5C38x3HrecUqzKo_oCLk3yRK8VGob1yPhKCb2b3B-6GVSMt096pYGUIo68uTFQ_2Eu3M5Oagbydw0fbecTlDZ689oc9mdPHkU-bWi9pE/s1600/IMG_4735.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660165065983608290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdaFGpaUxYaJqegeKu3T8kftlrBxJJ8NlH0yl5C38x3HrecUqzKo_oCLk3yRK8VGob1yPhKCb2b3B-6GVSMt096pYGUIo68uTFQ_2Eu3M5Oagbydw0fbecTlDZ689oc9mdPHkU-bWi9pE/s400/IMG_4735.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div>January 2011 Anna and Rick "finishing" the cancer benefit run.

<br />The best part of the whole day for Victoria was that she got asked on her first date! David Ross came and took her to dinner at Azteca. They doubled with Victoria's friend Ashleigh Parr and Connor Henry. What Victoria didn't know was what was waiting for her after dinner...

Victoria said she had no idea so it really worked. We love you Victoria and are so glad you're part of our family! We hope you had a wonderful day. You only get to be 16 once, and we're glad you're 'sweet' 16!!

Some of it was so much harder than I imagined it could be, and some of it has been easier than I ever dreamed. Things have been so crazy for our family this summer! We were able to get moved into our new home the week before my surgery. I drove by our new house on the day we had signed all the closing papers. The seller was outside so I stopped and as soon as I got out of the car he said, "I know why you're here." I was surprised and said, "Really?" And he said, "Sure, come inside and I'll give you the keys." So that easily we got the keys and I went home to call the carpet cleaners. They said that they had an appointment cancel that morning and they had one spot. So I snatched it up and we started moving in.
<br />
<br />We got everything in by Saturday afternoon and that same afternoon we finished at our old house. We were all soooo tired, but our house was a mess and I knew that I couldn't go into surgery knowing how much needed to be done so we got to work. We got most everything out in it's place by Saturday night. We still had to put our bedroom together so we did work on that a little Sunday morning. By the time Sunday evening came most everything was in it's place with a few things put on the walls. I knew then that I could go in for surgery and not worry about my house. It turns out that it was such a huge blessing that we got our keys early because the house didn't fund until this last Thursday. More than a week after we thought it would. We are so grateful that we were able to get the keys and be moved in!!!!
<br />
<br />Monday morning came bright and early. I was a little nervous, but not too much. Pretty soon everything was ready and the next thing I knew I was waking up from my surgery. I was a wreck!!!! I was so anxious and yelling at everyone that they were too loud and that my head was going to explode. They went and got my surgeon and brought him in to calm me down. He ordered some drugs and I was off again into lala land. Monday night and Tuesday all day they kept me super sedated. I really thought I was going to die and never feel normal again. It was super scary! The dr said that Tuesday would be my hardest day. Well, it may have been my easiest because I was so drugged. Each day I showed huge signs of improvement so Friday morning when the dr came to see me he said he wanted me to head home. So I waited for my mom to come and take me home to be with my kids. I did really well on Friday evening. I still am not sleeping much at night so that's hard, but when I got up Saturday morning I started throwing up. I threw up all day late into the evening. I couldn't keep any food or pills down. I am doing much better this morning and haven't thrown up so we'll keep our fingers crossed. All the throwing up and the fact that I haven't had any pills for pain since yesterday morning have made my tummy pretty sore. I should back up a little and say that since I'd had Sam by c-section my tummy wasn't optimum for taking the tissue so Dr Oliva (my plastic surgeon) had to take a lot more tissue than he had thought so I'm tucked SUPER tightly!! Standing up is out of the question. Scott says I look like a hobbit when I walk anywhere. He took about an 8" piece out of my belly! When I get all healed up I'm sure I'll be glad, but for right now I will NEVER recommend a tummy tuck by choice to anyone!!!!
<br />
<br />On Tuesday Victoria got her wisdom teeth out. She did soooo well! She followed all the rules and has healed very quickly. Friday night she was looking a little swollen, but by this morning she's pretty much back to normal. I feel like this was a tender mercy for our family this week!
<br />
<br />So I guess that's it...we just keep plugging away. Thanks for all the prayers, emails, help with the move, etc. I know they have helped!!

AND we move in 3 days before my surgery. If you don't know about this I'll expand:<br /><br />When we moved back to Spokane we hadn't sold our house in Meridian so we found a house to rent until we'd sold our house. We had no idea how long it would be and didn't want to be paying for two houses. Well, little did we know that it would only take us a couple of weeks to sell our house. We didn't find exactly what we were looking for so we waited. When I was sick last fall I didn't feel up to moving so we waited some more. A few weeks ago I told Scott that we just needed to pick from what's out there. We weren't happy with anything that would keep us in the same area, but as we know where there's a will, there's a way! We definitely had the will so we found a way. We saw this house on Zillow that had a make me move price, and that we did! We called them, went and looked at it and made them an offer. After dickering back and forth for about a week we settled on a price and time frame. So we move in and then I have surgery.<br /><br />If you don't know what the surgery is I'll explain. Sorry for any of you who get embarrassed at girl talk--you probably don't want to read the next little bit. I'm having a second mastectomy and a double reconstruction. I am having a TRAM. Can't tell you what it stands for, but it means that they are taking my belly that I've been gaining since last fall and cutting it out to reconstruct what I've had taken off. It's a very extensive surgery. It will last 10 hours!! I will be curled up in the fetal position for 2 weeks. I'll spend 1 week in the hospital and then be home and bedridden for a few weeks. It will probably be pretty hard on me to not be able to "go" for so long! I'm not good at holding still, but the last year has been good training for me. I'm so grateful that my wonderful mom is coming for 2 months!!! I don't know how else we'd manage. We will have lots of unpacking to do still and she will be great at helping kids and doing things that bother me! :)<br /><br />The dates for everything is: closing on the house on August 10th. Hopefully we'll be able to get our keys on the 11th so we can get the carpets cleaned and then start moving in on the 12th. We'll finish the moving out and cleaning of the old house on Saturday the 13th. I will rest on Sunday and then Monday morning I'll go in for my surgery. <br /><br />I'm working feverishly to get everything ready! I also started working at an orthodontist's office a little over a month ago so on my days off and evenings I pack. I'll rest AFTER my surgery. :) I don't know how long until I can update my blog. I won't have use of my arms for a while and won't be able to sit up so it may be a while. I may want visitors to keep me from going crazy. Call and see if I'm up to it and come over to see me if Mom says it's a go! You can also visit my wonderful mom. After school starts I'm sure she'd love the company. By then I'll be up to visitors for sure!<br /><br />My kids are so amazing!!!! They have worked and worked and I know they will continue to do so. They have been so good about not having any vacations due to mom working, moving and surgery. It's been such a boring summer for them. They are so understanding when we talk about the amount of money this surgery and all the treatments have cost us. We're a little behind to say the least, but as my sweet husband reminds constantly we wouldn't put a price tag on our mom. (So hard for me to hear!! I'd rather stay home and not have to work AND I can't help of dreaming about the fabulous vacation we could have gone on instead of paying doctors so much money!!!!!) Hopefully after this surgery I won't be so darn expensive! Hopefully this is the end of big bills for me--not that I want to pay them for anyone else either. :) We are trying to save up for a vacation during Christmas break. We hope to have all the bills paid by then...if not we may have to postpone our trip once again...such is life! <br /><br />We hope everyone enjoys their summer. We'll enjoy ours once it's all over...Happy Summer!!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-15405274099216687452011-07-01T15:00:00.000-07:002011-07-01T15:38:14.452-07:00Jed's 14th BirthdayI know I'm a little late, but on June 18th Jed turned 14. I can't believe that my tiny little red head boy is 14. He's not very tiny anymore! He's almost 6' tall. He was so excited to be done with school. The kids finished school on the 17th, Father's Day was the 19th so we squeezed a little celebration in on the 18th. Then early the 20th Scott, Victoria, Jed and I left for trek. It was quite an adventure! Here are the pictures from Jed's big day.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYj1qs0srumWXYI8CHdbmaGT_Mc76Yhm7TxwhyEqCxuF-KWBH953FnG7unTmrPu6t4QUqpqxpj_Ah9QW4YqQCRufy2qL9zvbzvy8v4fN7mJwpnQMRfkciSq4DByhwnYL63Ye_RQXBkfTw/s1600/IMG_0429.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYj1qs0srumWXYI8CHdbmaGT_Mc76Yhm7TxwhyEqCxuF-KWBH953FnG7unTmrPu6t4QUqpqxpj_Ah9QW4YqQCRufy2qL9zvbzvy8v4fN7mJwpnQMRfkciSq4DByhwnYL63Ye_RQXBkfTw/s400/IMG_0429.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624513466077793426" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Emilee and Jed<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RYB1CbRy24nSRpMiQp_FPnM-sZZOQViWJwUVTjpR2OaEcDcp2bI_H63mUm2wQObuE4_e5z0n0hxjKKT2fIgTahfH1jhA9Fc8KzxbIUTC7OqX6ZoTdSZ77qdFUQgFy6HQdq-cm1b78Vg/s1600/IMG_0430.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RYB1CbRy24nSRpMiQp_FPnM-sZZOQViWJwUVTjpR2OaEcDcp2bI_H63mUm2wQObuE4_e5z0n0hxjKKT2fIgTahfH1jhA9Fc8KzxbIUTC7OqX6ZoTdSZ77qdFUQgFy6HQdq-cm1b78Vg/s400/IMG_0430.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624513161257532754" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Julia and Sam with Jed<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIyWoOBp8x6B7r0NKvHInqErDtDbvC2EsxVhD-hyagdXUKYdAj65JnmNxhR9t3WG-THp9TQEwBug4W-bZH_zHk4zZ6GTbxA6CeMHd2KHkYvUNPBpIzcPpFzaHEdaRHWdpAVYV9PF_-Kow/s1600/IMG_0431.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIyWoOBp8x6B7r0NKvHInqErDtDbvC2EsxVhD-hyagdXUKYdAj65JnmNxhR9t3WG-THp9TQEwBug4W-bZH_zHk4zZ6GTbxA6CeMHd2KHkYvUNPBpIzcPpFzaHEdaRHWdpAVYV9PF_-Kow/s400/IMG_0431.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624512838920900226" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Victoria and Jed<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKj8dUVPOdLzofIbrj25ca4iJ9IgSU6MQ1sgWIF5f3EohIjM6hL2Z4svHXdB9xr4YlXwwVuHsUApXw7dCm3OYYHv1WpnsUxMms_fOIJbV_NAf8P0pfYjw3zNlot0c-8r7vVdTzk_t_f0/s1600/IMG_0432.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKj8dUVPOdLzofIbrj25ca4iJ9IgSU6MQ1sgWIF5f3EohIjM6hL2Z4svHXdB9xr4YlXwwVuHsUApXw7dCm3OYYHv1WpnsUxMms_fOIJbV_NAf8P0pfYjw3zNlot0c-8r7vVdTzk_t_f0/s400/IMG_0432.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624512262357944370" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Silly boy!!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiU77-w0btQwyhiYCx1-D0gZhkxRXyCwiN7EdVvFGVaGW2bcqOsQDwbYCwgMUQIhPB2tBZ9WENEahWg5Ioap5Q9vrsKumxENwNXYkyKyHphKKP1bMYZmTD8MBHsHdnRwxPPlsF_hO6EhY/s1600/IMG_0434.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiU77-w0btQwyhiYCx1-D0gZhkxRXyCwiN7EdVvFGVaGW2bcqOsQDwbYCwgMUQIhPB2tBZ9WENEahWg5Ioap5Q9vrsKumxENwNXYkyKyHphKKP1bMYZmTD8MBHsHdnRwxPPlsF_hO6EhY/s400/IMG_0434.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624510554876720642" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the Father's Day/Birthday pie celebration the next day.<br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGzub_Js4M27qAd-fcAFymgiria26ZsLB0pCijAo-UEZZVE84TuUvNJJXgmHGyNiDlZFpXiFmn3xGs3ZbHz5RBj5I72zNGvY90xgZD2yk2DrAMTXBujN9Uvt5PZ272VJLYnjiJ7LT330/s1600/IMG_0454.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGzub_Js4M27qAd-fcAFymgiria26ZsLB0pCijAo-UEZZVE84TuUvNJJXgmHGyNiDlZFpXiFmn3xGs3ZbHz5RBj5I72zNGvY90xgZD2yk2DrAMTXBujN9Uvt5PZ272VJLYnjiJ7LT330/s400/IMG_0454.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624510188810464978" border="0" /></a>It was a fun day!

You were two weeks late and we were very surprised when you were soooo big. You've been a character since that day. You've brought a sparkle to our lives that we never dreamed possible. We're so thankful to have you in our family. We love you Emilee!!!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAki0JDT-x1RDo7hVMxzagVIOA6vCpzB12va4kzjgt6rrkTGHD9mlTzfIVeK4wnNqNhF9qjnDHwsGEiTgA9lWqIfn7x4VC1VnFWmnTbyTlOP7VN0KXDag6e_gIFblbpO6XmyopXGybwmA/s1600/IMG_0377.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAki0JDT-x1RDo7hVMxzagVIOA6vCpzB12va4kzjgt6rrkTGHD9mlTzfIVeK4wnNqNhF9qjnDHwsGEiTgA9lWqIfn7x4VC1VnFWmnTbyTlOP7VN0KXDag6e_gIFblbpO6XmyopXGybwmA/s400/IMG_0377.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613837750827553730" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKBa3IKbAL1fmxRK8U5A4012PG4nBC4WRcKAcj6B3AooXus3YF0X05UYjdSX0_Y4nluP3XBtKP1BOvKRnB0a9vFHKKwQlNKCDhp_NnWmmL3ZKi9BOpjzvlMdFqrf7U5TjvxH1Ni6xAX80/s1600/IMG_0378.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKBa3IKbAL1fmxRK8U5A4012PG4nBC4WRcKAcj6B3AooXus3YF0X05UYjdSX0_Y4nluP3XBtKP1BOvKRnB0a9vFHKKwQlNKCDhp_NnWmmL3ZKi9BOpjzvlMdFqrf7U5TjvxH1Ni6xAX80/s400/IMG_0378.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613837145286796162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_EsEFvAWw84ywgSR_CONghuQ7dhd7VRl2rwt0SLCUA2ofCuLARrPsjNcGVRhkmgf73Vg4rDHe1qr8yqThz4cPxmVsqY_2Lj_E2R1tDm0KKyqEqCkjBHNG0Rkf3boXgI76JU110rMf-Bs/s1600/IMG_0380.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_EsEFvAWw84ywgSR_CONghuQ7dhd7VRl2rwt0SLCUA2ofCuLARrPsjNcGVRhkmgf73Vg4rDHe1qr8yqThz4cPxmVsqY_2Lj_E2R1tDm0KKyqEqCkjBHNG0Rkf3boXgI76JU110rMf-Bs/s400/IMG_0380.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613836921144582162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdPvSonk2ENvBKBH4I1BR3gEbv7_rk1MdZqJg5jc3hUC63ytdnygYyTQHEM0lOKJ89LbFDemH7c_mJEDHoQ6cfYZ73-M-B6Q0s7OnCUQ2Y4u8ecu-9gJNb7uzu-fCNdBOM9Nrvo3jq-Q/s1600/IMG_0381.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdPvSonk2ENvBKBH4I1BR3gEbv7_rk1MdZqJg5jc3hUC63ytdnygYyTQHEM0lOKJ89LbFDemH7c_mJEDHoQ6cfYZ73-M-B6Q0s7OnCUQ2Y4u8ecu-9gJNb7uzu-fCNdBOM9Nrvo3jq-Q/s400/IMG_0381.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613836646407374098" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We have a fun tradition for the girls' ninth Birthdays.

She wore a new shirt one of her best friends had given her. She has another one of her best friends who's Birthday is the day before Julia's. Julia's friend had given them both shirts and the friend got one too so they all three wore <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">matching</span> shirts to school. Julia was so excited! Well, the day didn't turn out to be quite as good as she or I wanted...</div><div> </div><div>I got a call from Victoria about 12:30 that she had just thrown up at school. She said that she felt fine so she wanted to go to seminary, but would I please pick her up right after that so she didn't have to ride the bus. I went to get her and she said she'd been throwing up during seminary as well. I got her home and settled. Then the phone rang and it was Julia calling and saying that she was sick so she wanted to come home. When I got to the school there was only about 20 minutes left of school so I got Emilee and Sam too. Julia hadn't been throwing up so I took her home and tucked her into bed. My kids' piano teacher was coming to teach Emilee and Victoria piano lessons. When she came I had her teach Emilee. Just at the end of Emilee's lesson Jed called from basketball practice and said that he'd been throwing up so could I come and get him.<br />I felt terrible that I had Diane in our house teaching a lesson. I should have sent her away when she came! </div><div> </div><div>I decided that I probably shouldn't be going to mutual so I called one of my counselors and told her I was needed at home...remember that Scott is in Boise. We stayed home with Victoria and Jed throwing up all evening. I was really nervous to go to bed! I made everyone sleep with bath towels on their pillows so that if they threw up hopefully it would be less for me to clean up. I had visions of being up all night doing laundry and cleaning carpets and mattresses. I sent everyone to bed early and I went to bed with them. I was thinking that if I really slept until my alarm went off I'd get 9 hours of sleep. I was so happy to wake up at 5:30!! No one had gotten me up! I'd slept all night! I went around and checked and sure enough...all kids sleeping and no one had thrown up.</div><div> </div><div>Victoria was up getting herself ready for the day. She and Jed both headed off to school after eating some toast. They wanted to go. I wanted to keep them both home. I'm not sure who they belong to because any time I was given the option of staying home I did! They must be their father's children. :) The man who got perfect attendance for all 4 years of high school. What a nerd!! It's amazing to me that they care that much about their schooling. Somehow I'm raising responsible children! Julia, Emilee, and Sam are home today. Emilee is complaining of a sick tummy and Sam who couldn't be out done is sure his tummy is sick too. Sam ate breakfast and is mad that he didn't get to pick what they were watching...I think he's feeling fine. Let's just hope it stays that way. Victoria, Jed, and Emilee have a piano <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">adjudication</span> today. I hope they're all feeling well enough to play!</div><div> </div><div>This brings up memories of me throwing up at school in the middle of art on my 11<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> Birthday. I may have jinxed Julia! Julia was opening her Birthday present from Grandma Jensen and I wanted to take some pictures. She said, "Please not pictures when I'm feeling this terrible!" So I don't have pictures of her opening her beautiful aquamarine necklace. I'll take pictures when she's feeling better. Let's just hope today is less eventful than yesterday!<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div>The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-41508211915496468742011-03-10T08:24:00.000-08:002011-03-10T09:07:44.522-08:00A busy life!OK. I'm a terrible blogger! I said a month ago that I would post the "finish" pictures from Victoria's race and I'm just now doing it. This is why I never had a blog until I was stuck sitting on the couch recovering. Now, life is just as busy as normal! We keep plugging away, and I try to keep up with everything. I'm feeling pretty well for the most part. I just get frustrated because I can't run a hundred miles an hour like I want to.<br /><br />Here are the pictures I promised:<br /><br />Here's Victoria coming in to the finish.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8EDgK_wZMZcsZKROtMW_m4OKBxmCkaKJaJqYV4HpHE9HhuQAR5y7r3hyphenhyphenGsqyB1nUHfm9XTpxN_B49_h2hwaWlTbLiPs7c4k0DMqS8zHEwSBdPLlbeiuhWVhmMtg4RktYTiED9euNIzXU/s1600/IMG_0162.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582495329012343970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8EDgK_wZMZcsZKROtMW_m4OKBxmCkaKJaJqYV4HpHE9HhuQAR5y7r3hyphenhyphenGsqyB1nUHfm9XTpxN_B49_h2hwaWlTbLiPs7c4k0DMqS8zHEwSBdPLlbeiuhWVhmMtg4RktYTiED9euNIzXU/s400/IMG_0162.JPG" /></a><br />Here she is with Auntie Berta after finishing.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_0KDFOyXnwaNysW22kb_kPDe9RE4Bv6hSCW6SAyHcix6etOevEkOxyU-PQYaIj3eIUBgJOhj8obM3SG92KDEseEOpO4TXmASZSZLR8DoYdxijbl_BwtbyXavJl6ulhym42A_7vbyQ_w/s1600/IMG_0171.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582494732232651282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_0KDFOyXnwaNysW22kb_kPDe9RE4Bv6hSCW6SAyHcix6etOevEkOxyU-PQYaIj3eIUBgJOhj8obM3SG92KDEseEOpO4TXmASZSZLR8DoYdxijbl_BwtbyXavJl6ulhym42A_7vbyQ_w/s400/IMG_0171.JPG" /></a><br />She's saying, "It was so easy!

Victoria trained so hard and did so well. For some reason she doesn't have an official time. All I know is that it was under an hour! She did an amazing job! Next year she wants to train for the half marathon. A special thank you to Aunt <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Karson</span> who was Victoria's mentor and biggest encouragement. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Karson</span> has a wonderful gift of being able to motivate people. Next year I hope to see Victoria running with her Aunt!!</div></div>The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-89649112765290291462011-02-09T13:33:00.000-08:002011-02-09T14:20:50.570-08:00Our Trip to Arizona<div>I know that I'm late in getting these up, but at least I'm doing it! Victoria has been training for 6 months to run in a cancer benefit run that her Aunt Karson inspired her to do. She has trained hard! I've gotten many comments from our neighbors that have seen her out running our hills. I went down to Arizona on the Tuesday before the race to soak up some sun. Victoria didn't come until very late Friday night and then Saturday we were up well before the sun to get out to the race. The first pictures show how very early it was! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS66P6ApbEZMORboaSWTFJP1wrvCPMWJ9k5pq4Bt_5d_4VhTEgAD-Bdc1ywyJ5SboZpvHgPifgcmFrThphaWneDD5oR_fEiLHkA7dewVi0n6LiRMUjKe098EsLM9Q-GuUWu8a7up183hY/s1600/180850_1556044624774_1344967676_31322540_7370099_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571811485438182914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS66P6ApbEZMORboaSWTFJP1wrvCPMWJ9k5pq4Bt_5d_4VhTEgAD-Bdc1ywyJ5SboZpvHgPifgcmFrThphaWneDD5oR_fEiLHkA7dewVi0n6LiRMUjKe098EsLM9Q-GuUWu8a7up183hY/s400/180850_1556044624774_1344967676_31322540_7370099_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My cousin Luke and his wife, Jen came from New Mexico so that Jenny could run the race.

I had a busy day yesterday so I didn't put it on here, but I"M DONE!!! I am feeling great and so grateful for that. My skin is doing well. One of my doctors asked me how I was planning on celebrating and I said that I'm headed to Arizona to the sunshine. I go in 4 more days. I'm very excited to see my family that's down there! My hope is that when I get back I'm feeling up to being a regular mom again. If I keep feeling this well then I know it will happen.<br /><br />I am so thankful for all of the support I've gotten! I can't even begin to thank everyone that has helped me and my family. We are so blessed to have so many people who love us and care about us! Thank you for the prayers, meals, rides for me and my kids, hugs and words of encouragement. We made it, and I can honestly say that it wasn't too bad. I know that is because of so many prayers in our behalf. Thank you for your love! Last night Sam said, "Mom, I'm glad you made it through your treatments and you didn't die." I told him that I'm glad too. So sweet! I do feel blessed! I don't think he worried that I would die.

It has been loose for so long. Just as he was heading out the door to school I was brushing his teeth and saw the tooth just hanging there. I got a paper towel and grabbed the tooth. He jerked his head away and started screaming at me that it hurt and he didn't want it out. Well, too bad--it was in my hand. Then it bled and bled. He was so mad at me that I had pulled it out. After we got the bleeding to stop he was so excited to go to school and tell his friends that he'd lost a tooth!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-MmzqG1X9t8PwfGEoiXgUWg66c7N-Vm17Vd2YDsVQXguPPqSGHSoDBRM0WTFVoHfvUWB1noHh1nsDA4uV__WAf6pPU1o1u1m2QwjqjHa7EeMcQABSHfFTzPCTbtDV65JcPUYM_5TIos/s1600/IMG_0118.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562508658145706258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-MmzqG1X9t8PwfGEoiXgUWg66c7N-Vm17Vd2YDsVQXguPPqSGHSoDBRM0WTFVoHfvUWB1noHh1nsDA4uV__WAf6pPU1o1u1m2QwjqjHa7EeMcQABSHfFTzPCTbtDV65JcPUYM_5TIos/s400/IMG_0118.JPG" /></a> After I put the picture on of us on Christmas Eve I got quite a few comments of how tall Jed was. That next Sunday I realized how little his suit was on him. I knew it was time for a new suit so we got online (that's pretty much all the shopping I do these days) and ordered this. I still can't believe that I'm old enough to have a son that wears a real man suit! (He's had lots of suits they've just been little boys suits.) On Sunday Jed and Victoria sang in a wonderful youth choir for Stake Conference. I sat and cried at the army of future missionaries! I also measured Jed. Well, he's almost 5'10''. Exactly the same height he was the day before school started. He grew 8" the first 9 months of 2010. Hopefully he'll keep staying this size for a while before another big growth spurt!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>By far my favorite part of Christmas this year was watching my kids make gifts for each other! I loved how excited they were to make and give their gifts!

I have 4 treatments left this week--just Monday through Thursday. I am doing well most of the time. My biggest complaint is my burn. It hurts really badly and keeps me up some nights with the pain. I am very anxious to be done! I did give in and quit driving. It just hurt too much. I hope to be able to drive again soon. It's so hard to not be independent!

I do hope that 2011 will be a healthier year, but I can't imagine that it could be better than 2010. <div><br /><br /><div>We had a very nice Christmas at our house! It was a nice day, and I was so grateful that I was feeling better. I had spent most of the week before Christmas feeling very green.

I am on the downhill slide with my treatments. I have 13 more to go! I will be finished on January 19th. Then on January 25th I am heading to Arizona for a little sunshine and rest before I get right back to life in February. We are all sad to have the kids go back to school tomorrow.

I love to decorate for Christmas--it's the only holiday that I decorate for. I love to give Christmas presents and usually I'm finished with all of my gifts around October. Well, needless to say that this year has been different. I had such a busy summer that I kept putting off Christmas gifts until the kids went back to school in September. Little did I know that my fall held many other plans. BUT, I did manage to get things pretty well taken care of thanks to my trusty PINK computer and my AMEX!! I love to wrap presents and those of you who have seen my tree know that the presents underneath are all coordinated with the tree...gold wrapping paper and burgandy bows. People ask me if the presents are real. YES!!! I wouldn't spend time wrapping empty boxes. :) I don't love wrapping that much! <br /><br />I love helping my kids make presents for each other. This usually happens the week before Christmas when all of my other projects are finished. Well, this year the closer we get to Christmas the more rotten I feel. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to help my kids. I never should have worried about this! It has been really fun for me to watch them do for each other on their own! Emilee is the sweetest sister ever! She has been working on things that she came up with on her own. Jed's been working in the garage, and Victoria was even helping Samuel out tonight. I did ask my mom to help them. She's coming tomorrow night and I know that the kitchen will be busy Thursday and Friday. I can't wait!! I'm so glad that Grandma can step in where Mom falls short!<br /><br />I've been feeling pretty weak and tired this week. I thought I was feeling pretty great tonight when Scott was headed to the store to get D-Con. It seems we've had a little mouse problem in the garage. I went along because Emilee had run out of supplies for one of her presents. We were gone for about 45 minutes total, and we bought 3 things. By the time I got home I was so weak I was shaking. It's very hard for me to not be able to do simple things like go to the store. That's ok. I finished my 15th treatment today. Tomorrow will be 16. I'll only have 17 more to go! I'm about half way. I'm glad I get a 4 day break for Christmas. It will give me a little bit of a chance to regain some strength. I'll take some Christmas pictures of the tree and presents and my cute kids in the next few days. I was a little sad to only have 1 tree. The last few years I've decorated 3. Now I realize that there is only 1 tree to put away and this year that sounds wonderful!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-61905255383015587262010-12-13T20:26:00.000-08:002010-12-13T20:38:34.886-08:00Hanging on!!After 9 radiation treatments I am doing great! I had a tough day on Saturday so Scott told me that I wasn't driving anymore. It's so hard to have your independence taken away! Sorry to say that someday I'm going to be one of those little grandmas that is a crazy driver, but NO ONE is going to tell me I can't drive...then or now! :) This morning I was feeling well so I got ready early and headed off as soon as I put my kids on the bus. Post office, Target, back to post office then off to Deaconess for my treatment. They were a little behind so I had to wait some. Then I was off again before the nasty side effects kicked in. Costco, Hobby Lobby, Sears and Down East, and right when I was paying in Down East I hit the wall. I shuffled my way back through the mall and drove home. I was so tired, but I did everything I wanted to do except go to the bank. Then, I made some lunch and fell asleep for a while. I woke up and wrapped the last of my kids' Christmas presents and cleaned out my closet. I made it back to rest on the couch and then got up and fixed dinner. By the time we sat down to dinner I was in so much pain. I ate and then made it back to the couch to rest. For Family Home Evening the kids and Scott made gingerbread houses while I rested. I feel so accomplished today! I'm tired and sore and I'm sure I'll really pay for it tomorrow, but I think it was worth it. We'll see what I say tomorrow. Oh, and my tummy seems to have gotten used to the treatments. I only felt sick once today, horray!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-79347351881723510602010-12-06T20:43:00.001-08:002010-12-06T20:43:56.703-08:00Merry Christmas From the Jensens<div class="sflyProductPreviewWidget" style="width:425px; height:494px;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetTop" style="height:6px; background-image:url(http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/top.gif);"></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetCenter" style="height:482px; padding: 0 6px 0 6px; background-image:url(http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/bg.gif); background-repeat:repeat-y;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewLogo" style="width: 105px; height: 34px; padding: 14px 0 0 14px;"><img src="http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/logo.gif"></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewContainer" style="height:350px; text-align:center; padding: 0;"><a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery"><img src="http://images-community.shutterfly.com/prs/v1/0AauGbZk5bN2eA/0AauGbZk5bN2eOLA/p/67b0de21b3127d902548/JPEG/1291695789000/0/"></a></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewMessageContainer" style="height:55px; background-color:#f4f4e9; text-align:center; padding: 15px 0 15px 0; line-height: 19px;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewTitle" style="font-family: arial, sans-seris; font-size: 15px; color: #333333; font-weight: bold;"><span>Joy And Magic Christmas Card</span></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewSEOText" style="font-family: arial, sans-seris; font-size: 13px; color: #333333;"><span>Get custom <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery" style="color: #6666cc;">photo Christmas cards</a> online at Shutterfly.com.</span></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewViewCollection" style="font-family: arial, sans-seris; font-size: 13px; color: #333333;"><span>View the entire <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery" style="color: #6666cc;">collection</a> of cards.</span></div><img width="1" height="1" border="0" src="https://os.shutterfly.com/b/ss/sflyshareprod/1/H.15/111?pageName=sharekey&c1=msc&c2=blogger" /></div></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetBottom" style="height:6px; background-image:url(http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/bottom.gif);"></div></div>The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-70021599142387094582010-12-06T20:35:00.000-08:002010-12-06T20:47:17.318-08:00Merry Christmas From the Jensens ContinuedI'm having a hard time getting what I want so it's going to have to be two different posts. Sorry. My tummy and my patience are both on the weak side! :)<br /><br />Here's a sneak peak at our Christmas card for this year. I'm a little late at getting them ordered, and after my treatment today I'm wondering if I'll even get them out. I was so afraid I wasn't going to make it home today without getting sick. I made it today, but we'll see how tomorrow goes. I thought that maybe I'd be spending less time on the couch wrapped in my pink and green quilt in the days to come. Maybe not. The Dr said he didn't expect me to have a hard time until 2-3 weeks into treatments. Hopefully it stays just this icky and doesn't get any worse! For now...The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-65926707653385797882010-12-01T21:35:00.001-08:002010-12-01T21:51:02.023-08:00Radiation Begins!Today I found out what doing radiation feels like--absolutely nothing! It's pretty amazing that you can have that done to you and you don't feel a thing...for a little while. I've done really well today, but I have gone through spells of being really tired. It's been interesting because it comes and goes. I did find that after I ate I had more energy. I was really tired when I was hungry. This might be just what I have been needing! I went to the plastic surgeon today. He thinks I'm a great candidate for taking my tummy fat to use for reconstruction--I just need a little more fat. :) As I was complaining that I didn't want to gain weight he just laughed and said that it's every woman's dream to have her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">dr</span> tell her that she needs to gain weight. I know...seems like a silly problem. The thing is that I finally after 6 years just got back to my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">pre</span>-pregnancy weight and now I'm being told to gain it back, ugh! I can't win!! I told him I'd only gain it if he'd promise to cut it all out. He said it's a deal. <br /><br />First things first. I have my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appointment</span> for radiation set for 9:48 every day until sometime in January (when I've gone 30 times I'm done.) Then I have to heal and then we'll talk about reconstruction. I had a friend email me a link to an organization that cleans women cancer patients homes for free during their treatments. I was accepted into their program and tomorrow the lady is coming out to do my walk through and schedule my first cleaning. I'm so excited to have someone come and make my house sparkly clean like I want it to be, but can't do! It's hard to look around and see a floor that needs to be vacuumed and not be able to fix it.<br /><br />Here's a picture of me with my new friends at Cancer Care Northwest. I wish I could remember their names. I know I'll get to know them a little in the next 6-7 weeks! They are so nice and kind. It was hard to become a regular. I didn't like parking in the spot reserved for radiation or oncology patients. I really would rather not be one of those "special" people! I'd be so happy to give that spot up for someone else! :) I was so grateful though as I looked around at the people in the clinic that I'm still strong and healthy!

This year has been such a whirl wind of emotions! I think back to January and packing up our house that we loved so much in Meridian. We left with many mixed feelings. It was hard to say our good-byes to those we love so much--wonderful neighbors, amazing schools and teachers, and dear, dear friends. We packed up and said our "see you agains" and headed for the place that we hold near and dear to our hearts--Spokane Valley. We thought we had a house right where we believed we wanted to be. At the very last second that fell through so we ended up where we are supposed to be. We have renewed friendships with some wonderful people and made some new dear friends. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father knew where we were supposed to be!! Our children have blossomed here! I sit here in my house in the sunshine and feel so happy that we didn't end up where we thought we were supposed to be.<br /><br />I am so grateful to be alive and know that I will have many wonderful years ahead of me. I am grateful for my wonderful doctors and all of their staff at Cancer Care Northwest. They have truly been an answer to prayers! Dr Moline's skilled hands have been a blessing! Dr Nichol's wisdom has saved us much trial and many hard times! Dr Lamoreaux's inspired advice will be a blessing for years to come! I am so grateful for the referrals I got for these wonderful doctors. I'm grateful to know many people who have gone through what I've gone through who weren't afraid to share what they've learned with me. I pray each day that I will have people put in my path that I can help as these people have helped me!<br /><br />I am grateful for the Savior, Jesus Christ! I am so thankful for the opportunity I have been blessed with to grow closer to Him and strengthen my faith in His ability to help me. I know I could not have done this without HIM!! I am grateful for the beautiful world that He created for me. I have enjoyed looking at it while I have been recovering. It is such a blessing!<br /><br />I am thankful for so many angels--both here and the ones we cannot see. I have had people help me in ways that I never could have dreamed of. I am so grateful for everyone who has come to my rescue during this hard time. I am so grateful for the prayers, hugs, emails, phone calls, cards, meals, help with kids, warm bread, help with all of my nasty tasks (drains, baths, helping me dress--thank goodness only a couple of people had to do these things!) rides for kids, help with YW activities and lessons, etc, etc, etc!! I hope to live long enough to repay everyone!<br /><br />I'm so thankful that I can be a mom to 5 amazing kids! I'm also very thankful for the wisdom to know when to be done having kids. I can't imagine going through this with my arms full of little ones!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSKPXJUd6vhmMaBI46O8ftdlh_HLHWqgTUlsdrvGoguFUN3mQl-H9_RIj5HVqROlyf2Etuj6N7j3bTUChugRAlILFKQayaI3HollmjsHIyO-ajZAUgOdunml78k29GXSboS_wxupdcaQ/s1600/Indys-25.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543160713546812434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSKPXJUd6vhmMaBI46O8ftdlh_HLHWqgTUlsdrvGoguFUN3mQl-H9_RIj5HVqROlyf2Etuj6N7j3bTUChugRAlILFKQayaI3HollmjsHIyO-ajZAUgOdunml78k29GXSboS_wxupdcaQ/s320/Indys-25.jpg" /></a><br />Sam, I'm thankful for your sweet smile, for your bright little mind, for your willingness to help out, for your cute excuses in the middle of the night (well, maybe I'm more thankful for the nights I don't have to hear those little excuses!) for your quick wit, and for your never ending love.

That is truly a mother's dream!! Your compassion has been so wonderful! You are wise beyond your years and a joy for me to watch as you learn and grow and grow and grow! I knew you'd be my red-headed buddy before you came, but somehow you've turned into my big red-headed buddy. Thank you for being such a good big brother to Sam! He loves you and wants to be just like you. Keep being the good example that you are! I love you Jed!!</div><div><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvRe5o6DMLAcGQGAXTNsEibrrFaJAtQQAJfQdJlDeHPBHyQXO5_uRxQjQSI_3UaWtcx1BiDB6FaOYxR_mdWUMjy9MkiPNoKIvRxGMb1snKhl6Zc9tOCDEAAHaYTiFW0McWHQHCHQB4iQ/s1600/Indys-12.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543159441558493954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvRe5o6DMLAcGQGAXTNsEibrrFaJAtQQAJfQdJlDeHPBHyQXO5_uRxQjQSI_3UaWtcx1BiDB6FaOYxR_mdWUMjy9MkiPNoKIvRxGMb1snKhl6Zc9tOCDEAAHaYTiFW0McWHQHCHQB4iQ/s320/Indys-12.jpg" /></a><br />Victoria, you've turned into such a beautiful young woman! I am so proud of you and all that you've become! I know that it has been hard for you to help around the house, but I'm so thankful for all you've done. I'm so impressed with your determination to train for the half marathon. You will feel so good for your whole life if you keep it up. Thanks for sitting by me and making me laugh. It's been good medicine!

You have been so good to me during all of this upheaval this last year! Not very many husbands would do what you've been willing to do for me, and for this I am so grateful! You have cried with me, laughed with me, and told me to move on and quit crying when I needed to. Your strength and wisdom are amazing! Thank you for giving everything you have for your family. We all love you, but I love you so much!! Thank you for being the man of my dreams!<br /><div><div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div>Sorry for being so mushy! My heart truly is overflowing, and so are my eyes, but I couldn't let this day pass without counting my blessings. I have way more than I even listed. I didn't think that anyone would want to read a post that long! My love goes out to each of you. Hopefully over the next 6-7 weeks as I sit on the couch I will be able to get my Christmas cards sent out. If I don't I'll post them here and you'll all know that I am thinking about you even if my energy doesn't allow me to send one to you.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div>HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I said last night that this will be my best Thanksgiving ever--I keep getting told to gain weight. When does that happen? Enjoy your loved ones. I've learned that not much else matters!!</div></div></div></div></div></div>The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-78800658986289199892010-11-16T18:07:00.000-08:002010-11-16T18:19:28.948-08:00Oncotype Score and Video ContestToday was a good news/bad news day. I'll start with the bad news so I can focus on the good news...the bad news is we didn't win the video contest. We got 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span> place so we really didn't lose, but the video that won didn't even have sound all the way through. She barely squeaked in at the last minute so I think that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">drs</span> that voted must have treated her. That's the only thing I can think of...no music, unprofessional video, etc. It's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ok</span> because in realty I did win today...on to the good news...<br /><br />NO CHEMO NEEDED!!!!! My scores from my test came back so low that I don't have to do any chemotherapy! We are so thrilled! Last night after the nurse had called and said that my scores were on the low side and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">dr</span> wanted to see us tomorrow we had a good idea that we would find this out. I was trying not to think about it today because it made me nervous. I was very anxious waiting in the doctor's office for her to come in! We are going to go ahead with radiation. Scott and I both feel like this is the right course to take. I told Scott last night that I was feeling like it was right. He said he'd been thinking the same thing, but just didn't want to say it.<br /><br />I enjoyed a fun day with my friend Brandi. Thanks so much for your help! Only a true friend would come over and fold all of our laundry and bring me a yummy lunch to boot! Thanks so much Brandi, Kate, and Isabelle. It was a great way to spend the day!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610923913413073731.post-58129932016904559282010-11-11T21:28:00.000-08:002010-11-13T10:09:53.136-08:00Sneak PeakSorry to those of you that will get these pictures later. I just couldn't wait any longer to put our updated pictures on. We had these taken just a week before my surgery. I figured that I would be happy later if we just got our annual photo shoot done. I am very grateful now as I really don't feel up to wearing my regular clothes yet. If I do end up doing chemo I've heard that in one day all of your hair just falls out. So...I figured with all of that said I'd be glad later that we squeezed this in before. I couldn't resist the pink! It's my favorite color. Now we have several reasons to have lots of pink around here!<br /><br />I had my last post surgery appointment with my surgeon today. She said that everything looks wonderful. She was impressed that with my drains out I didn't make any fluid. She took the bandages off and my incision is almost completely healed. Just 2 little spots left. Each of the spots are about 1/4 inch long. She told me that I still couldn't lift anything, and no repetitive motions. That means no grocery lifting or carrying. No laundry folding. And no vacuuming, of course. She said that I can add things in little by little and that by about 6 weeks from now I should be close to back to normal. I don't think it will take me that long, and I don't think she thinks it will take me that long, but she doesn't want me pushing it. I told her not to worry. I won't be pushing it because it's not worth going backwards. We'll see if I say that in 3 or 4 weeks! My spirit is willing, but my flesh is somewhat weak still. That keeps me a little slow going still.<br /><br />My kids had today off of school for Veteran's Day. All of the kids but Victoria spent the day at Auntie Deborah's house. Victoria and I enjoyed a quiet afternoon. We spent time on the computer and then watched Emma. Thanks to Auntie Deborah for spoiling kids this afternoon. They all came home happy with full tummies. Sam came and whispered, "Auntie Deborah spoiled us. She took us to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Krispy</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kreme</span> and bought us each 2 donuts!" The full tummies also came from her feeding them yummy tomato soup for lunch and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fettuccine</span> for dinner. Thanks for giving me the day off Deborah!! Tomorrow it's back to school for them and a quiet house for mom.<br /><br />Thanks for all of the votes for our video contest. I've been so sad to see that we have competition! Hopefully we'll still win! Keep voting until Monday at 5:00 pm!!The Jensen Sevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152064611961408012noreply@blogger.com3
