Spring Break

i hope you all had the best Easter! we had so much fun in reno/susanville. thank you jeff & hayley you two are the best! we are lucky to have amazing friends who just happen to be our family! we had so much fun! one minor annoyance (i will blog about that in my next post, its a post all on its own) but seriously the best time! we shopped, went shooting, ate at delicious restaurants and couldn't have asked for nicer weather (boo utah today!)




this is my favorite store. ever. if you ever find yourself going west on i-80 stop in sparks nevada and enjoy SHEELS we love it! with jeff & hayley we spent over 3 hours! they have this incredible salt water tank. it isn't like the gross ones at cabelas that are over populated and dirty! its beautiful and there are the neatest fishes ever! ohhh...i love it! then there is this ferris wheel in the store. seriously. i have always wanted to ride it and thought for sure we would this time but ryan shot me down because "we are not paying a $1 for that!" so then we bought $350 in ammo...DANG YOU OBAMA :) 
but after sheels hayley and i got to shop at the summit mall, also a MUST STOP in reno! we LOVE it. and we shopped our spring hearts out! and i didn't take pictures cuz i am stupid!
we also ate dinner at claim jumpers. one word: yummm!




the boys are so mean. they take hayley and i up to shoot when it is so cold out. shoot for like hours. and then have the nerve to make fun of the way we shoot!! this is their "hip shots" oh boys...silly silly...boys. but we had so much fun and added to our Must Have Gun List (oh you don't have one of those...weird!)


these are deer in Susanville, CA. they are insane. our camera is not even zoomed. they are not scared of people. they look both ways before the cross the street! seriously. maybe its because they are in california and no on is man enough to hunt them (there is the utahan in me!)



i believe, sadly, one of the main reasons this boy married this girl was the single fact that visiting her family would always include trips to in-N-out. the boy loves it. but the girl loves him so it works out! and no fear when her family moves to arizona (maybe!!!) there is one in vegas. 



so i heard purple was an in color for spring. have you? i love it. plus nevada is so boring! 


we need to know what this building is in the middle of Nevada. its all alone. in the middle of no where. no parking lot. vents up on the hill. someone research it ok?


side note: we are going to have a new nephew jaelyn & craig found out its a boy

Lately...

i promised to do better since we have a 
computer and internet now!
but now i think we have gotten boring!
on saturday we ran a 5K
it was so much fun! and we did good!
we are working up to a half marathon
but i think if we do 5-5ks that should count right?!
things i loved about our run:
-being with ryan
-starting our saturday with a run 
-being outside even if it was 30 degrees.
-our hott t-shirts see picture


saturday night was priesthood session for General Conference.
tradition has it: the girls play while
 the boys receive much needed instruction!
our tradition has been to learn to bake/make a delicious dish from Lynette (the mother in law), stop by Ladies Night at Deseret Book (hello, free gift!) and out to eat!  
however...
we changed a few things up this year!
i still learned how to make the best cinnamon rolls ever!
which i forgot to take a picture of because sometimes I make poor choices
but instead of Deseret Book (lame free gift, that will teach them!)
we went to Bonneville 
High School to see
Guys & Dolls

this was the best 3 hours of my day! 
the actors did an amazing job
the music is awesome
the dancing was incredible
the story is hilarious!
the costume and set were fabulous
it ended yesterday but i hope others got to see it!
i took sucky pictures :( i swear i will get better someday!
side note: General Conference was excellent. i
 love it so much! Elder Holland was my favorite. (can we have favorites?)
i am so grateful for the Jensen Family Traditions I get to be a part of! 
Like General Conference ebelskevers! again no pictures :(
but seriously yummy! meet here for pictures in October

exciting story for the week:
Ryan does not work at ARUP in Salt Lake on Mondays. So we spend our Monday mornings  together before I go to work and he goes to Forsenius. 
Yesterday we (he) decided to go fishing at the Harrisville stream we discovered (probably not really) over by the Harrisville cabin/BDO.
as we walked out there we passed fields with horses and what not...
and then...
we see a fox!
i never seen a real fox before. 
its close to this residential area!
i panic
ryan calmly reminds me he is packin' heat (thank you Utah Legal Heat)
so we stop and take pictures and get closer and then we see a second fox!
but they "are more scared of us then we are of them" (i doubt that!)
so they ran off...but really it was so neat! 
p.s. we also saw a skunk.
less neat.
and maybe more scary.


-until next time
