Happy 28th Birthday Jed!

This is Jed writing this blog. I had a very Happy Birthday! London and Ripen drew me a nice picture and gave lots of kisses. London continued to tell me "Happy Birthday Daddy" for a solid week after my actual birthday. It was the best! Loree made a cake and I got a much needed winter coat and snow pants. I can't believe I am 28! That is so old!

We went up to the hospital to see my new nephews on my Birthday. Justin and Melanie had twin boys and named them Maddox and Murphy. They are so cute! You forget how little new babies are. Murphy was in the ICU for about 5 days, but he is home now and they are both doing great. After seeing the baby we went to dinner with some friends and family at Cafe Rio. We capped off the night with some cake and ice cream and a church basketball game. All in all, it was a fun day!

London and Ripken helped me blow out the candles.

Yes, London is smiling like a pirate still. She still closes one eye on probably 90% of the pictures that she is in. She learned how to "say cheese" and "what does a pirate say" at about the same time. She still gets them mixed up for some reason. We are working on that.

Me and my Beautiful Bride on my B-Day! Isn't she Hot?!

Cafe Rio is the best! I could eat "pork burrito, black beans, mild sauce, enchilada style" every day!

Happy New Year!

We had a good ol' time ringing in 2009! (that rymes) We played rock band and played some games with friends. It was a riot! Good food, good company, great party! Thanks Darwin and Debbie Maughn for hosting!

The Fella's....unless they left at 12:01!

The Lovely Ladies!

Jon Robinson trying to unwrap the unwrappable present! Braden must have been going for a kiss here.....

One last dinner with my girls in 2008! It always seems hard to get together because everyone has a lot going on......but when we get together, it is SO MUCH FUN! Next time I hope everyone can make it.

Christmas

Santa Clause ended up coming to town! London must have patched things up. We enjoyed the beautiful snow and the pretty Christmas lights. Our favorite thing was to drive around on snowy nights in the Jeep and look at Christmas lights. It was pretty with all of the snow.

Christmas was great! We spent a lot of time with family, and just hung out. The kids had a fun time playing with all of their cousins. London has several cousins about her age on both sides of the family. She played hard all day and night on an extreme sugar high from all of the Christmas goodies.

London loves her new Curious George that Grandma Jensen gave to her!

How do we look after Christmas at home, and at both of our families? It was a long but fun day for all of us!
