I cannot believe it, but Jensen turned 3 on the 8th of November!
Of course we had a full blown "fishy party" to celebrate.
We started the day by making "whales in a bottle."
(Something so simple makes a fish fanatic SO happy!!)
I bet you can't guess what Jensen wanted for his birthday present! ...Yep, a real live fish! We all went to the store and he got to pick one out. He was so EXCITED!!
He named it "Socka Locka Blah"!! (And you can't shorten it or he will correct you!)
In our family, it has become a tradition that the cake is a pretty big thing...I was pretty proud of this one! And so were the little boys. :)
Mark fixed up Jensen's real fishing pole (hook and all) and he fished for his presents...thanks to Brigham who "hooked" the fish! :)
Jensen loves playing his pretend/air guitar, but thanks to Logan he now has more options! Daddy had just as much or more fun with it as the little boys. :)
To my surprise the cake actually tasted pretty darn good!
(The jello part was the best!)
Jensen was pretty darn happy when he opened up "Chachie Nanna" Grandma and Grandpa's package and saw more fish stuff!! They know him well!
Showing off the finished project.
"It is THIS big!!"
Happy Birthday Jensen!!! I love Jensen because...he is always so happy. Even when he was first born, he was the most peaceful, happy and most patient baby I had ever seen! He hardly ever cried even when he would be starving!
I love Jensen because he makes us laugh ALL of the time!! He comes up with the funniest sayings and it never ceases to amaze us! Things like telling his cousin on the phone that he goes to the "Walmart preschool" and when he likes something he is eating he says, "Mmm, Gorgeous!"
I love Jensen because he has an amazing imagination and is playing pretend nearly every second of the day. He loves adventures with his stuffed dog named "Buster." Buster goes with him everywhere!
I love Jensen because...he absolutely LOVES Fish!! (And that is probably an understatement!) Everything and anything is about fish. He is constantly "catching" BIG fishies! I just love it! He has instilled within him I think even a greater love for fish than his Daddy! :)
I love Jensen because he is his brothers' "bestest" buddies. He and Brigham love to just be together. They never really want to be a part. He just adores Kason, and sometimes Kason thinks that he loves him too much! :)
I love Jensen because he is so determined. He gets a look on his face that just means business and he will work on a task until he gets it accomplished.
I love Jensen because he loves to cuddle with his Mommy! He is so dang cute I just want to eat him up! He also gives the best hugs and kisses!
I love Jensen because he is such a good boy and wants to do what is right. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent him to our family!! Thank you Jensen for helping our imaginations grow and learning to love the little things in life. You make me so happy and you keep me laughing!!

What a fun party! You guys are so creative! Jensen is such a cuttie!
Happy Birthday Jensen! Allison just turned 3 on the 11th! It would be fun if we lived closer and they could play! I loved your cake- you did an awesome job! Looks like you had a ton of fun!
well done! that cake was SO FUN! and fishing for presents? too creative. looks like a party we're all sad to have missed!
That cake was awesome! I need some pointers . . . We saw Jensen at walmart when he was getting the fish and I sang happy birthday to him while others stared. He was so cute he said, "it's my birthday" in that cute raspy voice. Every time he comes over w/o fail he finds the sharks and carries them around. It's pretty dang cute!
So cute. What fun memories!
That cake is awesome! That looks like it would take more patience than I have. I'm sure Jensen had the 'fishiest' party ever - what a cute family : )
what a fun birthday! i love the cake, you'll have to share the recipe. i think joe would like that for his birthday too!
miss you. can't believe how big the boys are getting.
Jensen is 3?!? I guess that makes sense because Kaitlyn is too, but it's been so long since I've seen him. What a cute party! You are such a cute mom. What lucky boys!
Way good job on the cake-I'm impressed. I'm glad it was a great day for you guys, and especially that little fish lover. :) He's so cute!
