Well, August is almost done and I haven't hardly gotten on this thing yet! Since I wrote last, lots has happened.
We went to the county fair at my hometown the last weekend of July. Then I helped lead VBS at my church. I had the 4th, 5th and 6th graders most the week but filled in the for the k-1st graders on Friday. My princess went in the preschool class for her second year and had so much fun!
That weekend we helped my brother move to Sioux Falls where he started a new job as sous chef ant the Wild Sage grill. So far things are going really well for him there.
JR has started crawling. and he pulls himself up to stand by the furniture whenever possible. Still no teeth...
My prince has been on the road a lot this month. Fortunately I've kept the kids and myself busy by either hanging out at home or going to my sister's house. The kids and I have been having one summer cold after another this month.
This weekend was my 32nd birthday. We went camping at Itasca State Park with my parents. It was perfect weather for it! We took the bikes, but the kids both caught colds, so we left the kids with my folks and got in a bike ride, my prince and I. They have a fire tower you can climb... after a 1/2 mile hike up hill, you climb a 100 foot tower. It was really windy that day and the tower was swaying. I'm scared of heights but the view was definately worth it.
My Prince is gone again this week. and JR has his 6 month appointment on Wednesday. Then we will head out to my sister's for a day or two. Hope your summer was equally fabulous. I'll get some pictures posted one of these days, I promise!

Crazy Summer!
We went to the annual Jensen family camping trip Memorial weekend at Lac Qui Parle State Park. We had reserved a group site and there were over 20 of us! It was a blast!
We have our 3rd wedding to go to this weekend.
My prince has been out of town alot again. I've used that time to take my kids to my parents and my sister's homes.
My princess is a girly girl who insists on wearing a different dress every day. We've been going to the library weekly and look forward to new books and movies as well as meeting other children.
JR Is 5-1/2 months. He has been teething for quite a while now, but no teeth yet. He is rolling over and has actually started to scoot forward. He can "crawl" only an inch or two forward but travels the hole room backwards!
I've been sick again. I think I'm on the mend finally... but I'm so exhausted all the time that trying to read the princess a story puts me to sleep!
I'm hoping to get back into blogging... It seems like I always have a kid on my lap making typing hard to do...

Ruby Rebel
I've been reading an interesting blog called Families against Feminism: The Great Debate. On April 8th, 2008, she talked about being a Virtuous Woman (A Ruby Rebel) from Proverbs 31:10. I like what she had to say. You can check it out at http://heartsforfamily.blogspot.com/2008/04/vurtuous-wife-ruby-rebel.html
A lot of nothing
It seems like there has been tons going on since I logged on last, but yet it was a lot of nothing. The kids have been sick one after another... ear infections, respiratory infections, strep throat. I've been doing therapy for my bad back. The prince is still slaving away... and checking out other options... more on that as it develops!
The prince and I were able to get away for an evening to attend Larry the Cable Guy. I hate to admit it, but a lot of of it was really funny even though it was all picking on somebody's race, weight, politics, sexual orientation or gender... and even one gag where he teased about a "retarded" gang member. What does it say about our society that something like this is so popular? And what does it say about me???
We also got to go to my sister's house one weekend. They have 4 new bottle feeding lambs that we got to play with for a bit (one is crippled and they don't know if it will make it). It was my niece's 10th birthday party. After the party, M and her sisters T & E, had a gymnastics expo. The princess could hardly sit still and desperately wanted to get on the gym floor and do the routines, too. Looks like we'll have to get her signed up this fall...
I'm trying to lose weight again. Previously, I was a mentor at The Lord's Table (Setting Captives Free link on the side of my page) and had lost 35 pounds in a year. Its going to be a little tougher this time as I'm nursing still... but I have faith that God will take control of my eating again and I'll Gain more of Him as I lose some of me!
We also had JR's dedication at our church one Sunday. My folks and the Prince's folks were able to be there. A dedication is not an infant baptism. Its basically just praying for the baby and the family and the church promising to help the family raise the child up to know and love God.
Speaking of church, pray for my pastor. A couple months ago his wife admitted to having an affair with another member of our church. And just in the past couple weeks it was discovered that my pastor has a couple masses in his large intestine, colon, and near his bladder. They haven't found out if they are cancerous yet. The have 4 kids, the oldest graduates from high school in a couple weeks. Its an incredibly messy and stressful situation which I don't want to get into details about, but please pray for them all.

Birthday party
Easter weekend we had a birthday party for the Princess. We got a hotel room for my parents so we could go swimming. The Prince's parents came and my sister's family as well as my brother and another friend of mine. My parents had a room with a kitchenette, so it was large enough for all of us to hang out and have pizza. Here are some pictures. I made the cake myself!
