Saying goodbye to one of my heroes

My Grandpa Peterson passed away this morning, it is a relief to know that he isn't in pain anymore, but I am really really going to miss him. I am so grateful for having him be a part of my life. I feel so lucky to have been able to see him Thursday night and to have been able to tell him that I love him, and even luckier that he told me he loved me back and gave me a hug and a kiss. Crazy to think that not even 12 hours after that he would take such a turn for the worse and not really say much else. I know he is in a better place now, and I really hope he knows how much he was loved and that we will miss him.

Angie had her baby!!!!

Keaton James Jensen is here!! I will get some more & better pics posted soon I promise. He was born 6/19/2009 weighed 6 lb. 15 oz. and was 22 inches long (I think) he has just enough hair for a boy, and is just absolutely beautiful!! We are so excited you are here!

I just had to take a picture of my boys! They are just so handsome. This was right before we went to church, I love that PJ is so excited to go to church. These boys are the light of my life.

Just so cute!! PJ was telling Daddy what to do in this.

Just being silly

update ;)

So not much new going on... I went to Gunnison this past weekend (well Friday night and came home Saturday night) Josh had to work so I decided to go visit.. I just love being down in Gunnison. It was so fun Dionne & Angie and I actually got to spend some "sister" time together. My wonderful mother was in and out of the conversations, for some reason she has these grandkids who are obsessed with her and just want to be wherever she is.. :) can't imagine why.. It was so nice to be able to spend time down there, I really feel recharged after visiting. Josh worked a graveyard Saturday night and got home at about 6:30, luckily he didn't have church meetings so he was able to sleep until about 10:00, we went to church at 11:00 and Josh had to teach the combined Relief Society/Elders Quorum classes, I am just so glad that he was doing it and not me.. we all know I would have probably ended up crying and not getting anything out.. but he did an amazing job, I was so proud of him! He is just so amazing!! I think I say that every time I blog, but it is true!! We had PJ the weekend before (memorial day weekend) so on Memorial day I took PJ to the park while Josh was sleeping (yep he had to work that weekend too).. PJ had so much fun!! I was taking pictures and he was being such a cheese. I sure do love that little guy, he is just too funny!!

time for some kind of an update

Not much is really going on with us, just work.. work.. church callings.. and enjoying any and all time we get to spend actually together :) The last few months have just been flying by.. especially April... it was and is a blur to me all that went on in April, all I can say is thank you to my sweetie, he takes such good care of me, thank you to my mom for everything that you have done you went above and beyond for me and I just feel so lucky! You are the best!!! One of the most exciting things in the last month for us has been that we finally sold Josh's expedition.. I never thought the day would come.... but finally and thankfully it is gone!! YEAH!!!! We had to speak in Church on April 26th.. and if you know me.. and you're reading this then you probably already know the story.. long story short it was a day after my birthday and for me speaking in church (or to any large group)is pretty much like having to have a rout canal the day after your birthday without any anestesia or any pain reliever.. okay so maybe there wasn't actual physical pain.. but mentally I was knocking on deaths door... but it is done and over now and I'm just glad that it is over with.. Well.. I promise to try to be better and post more often.

not much new...

So there really isn't too much new going on with us. We did go back to the doctor for a followup visit and I am soooooo happy to report that the doctor says that all the tests show that they got it all and there isn't any cancer anywhere else, so for now we are just feeling really blessed. Other news is that I got called to be the Relief Society Visiting Teacher Leader in our wonderful small ward :) Still haven't done anything for this calling but I am interested to see what exactly I'll be doing. Josh has been called to be the ward missionary leader (which he will be wonderful at.. he should be a pro at this calling.. he's held it a number of times and had a lot of success before.) as for PJ he is doing well, he might have to have his tonsils out but we don't know when this will be happening. We were able to go down to Gunnison this last weekend which was sooo fun, but we never get enough time there, I hope someday we can spend some real quality time visiting there, PJ has so much fun with all the cousins and well we all know how much I love it there, and Josh does enjoy it too :) I can't wait to get down there again! Anyways, we love you all and miss you all so much!! XOXOXO

oh what a wonderful life....

So just an update on what has been going on in our lives. This past week Josh had surgery and those of you who know us know exactly what was done.. and I'm sure you can understand why I wouldn't go into great detail about the surgery. After the surgery the Doctor talked with me and told me that we would know by Thursday or Friday if there was cancer or not (this was on Tuesday). So Thursday comes and Josh gets the call from the Dr., turns out there was cancer but there was scar tissue from a previous injury that had somehow retarded the cancer from growing.. I know HUGE blessing. I continue to stress about it and just pray constantly that they really did get it all and that Josh will be fine and live a long long long life with me :o) It has given me the opportunity to have to completely rely on our Heavenly Father to be there for me, there have been times while we have been waiting and going through this when I really felt like I was just going to completely fall apart, but thank goodness for a wonderful Father in Heaven who is there all the time, thank goodness for my loving husband and my family who has been such a wonderful support. I know I wouldn't have made it through all this without any of you! Thank you all for your prayers and support!!
We have a follow-up appointment next Monday, they are going to do another ultra-sound and some blood work just to make sure that they got it all and that Josh is healing well. I feel so bad for him, watching him endure the pain that he is in, and seeing him carry on and continue to work and do the things that he needs to makes me just try harder and keep going. Well, we'll keep you all posted on how things turn out, and please continue to pray, I know that the prayers help! We love you!!
