Celebration

HAPY CUATRO DE MAYO!!

Ok, so I know this is really late, but you know we had really exciting news to share first. And for some reason it seems that we all this fun things all at once and then we have a dry spell..I imagine that will be June. :)

Anyway we decided to have a big Cinco De Mayo party but since Alan had to work that day we had a Cuatro de Mayo instead. It was quite fun, we decorated it as colorful as we could, complete with paper flowers and flags. We even had a pinata made, which as you can see from the pictures took a "big stick" to break!

We had quite the gathering and I also secrectly planned a surprise party as well for Alan's Birthday, it was classic! Everyone did such a good job of keeping it a secret-thanks!

Some of our wonderful friends who came to celebrate.

It's a.....

We had our first Ultrasound and as the technician said, yep it's a Boy, take it to the bank, shop with confidence, it's a boy!

So we will be adding Peter Benjamin to the Jensen clan in September.

Austin Day 3

After insisting that we sleep in, we headed to Lady Bird Lake or "Town Lake" as the locals call it to go paddle boating. Now, the reason we decided on this instead of kayaking is we thought it would be more leisurely-boy were we wrong! Paddle boating is hard work, it's like riding a bike uphill. We definitely got our work out in, even though you wouldn't know it because we never even got out of eyesight of the boat dock! But it was beautiful and surprisingly the water was very clear, which is unusual for everywhere else I have been in Texas.

We even got to see a family of swans.

Then we were starving, which was good because we went to County Line BBQ for lunch, and well judge for yourself if you think Alan received enough protein for the day.

I about fell out of my chair laughing when they brought his plate to him. I think it took him 3 days to finish them!

I had some of the best brisket ever, it was nice and lean, just the way I like it. Sorry, no pictures it was not quite as impressive of a site as the ribs.

We then headed to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Conservation area and wondered around the ground looking at native Texas flowers, it was beautiful.

What an eventful day!

Austin Day 2

We went to Church in the morning and then had lunch at the hotel-let me tell you how good mu husband is, since I was working and he had Friday off, he packed us lunches and dinner so we didn't have to go out to eat! I love him!


After a short nap we went to visit the Zilker Botanical Gardens-which is this amazing free park that you can walk through with all kinds of different gardens. Here are some of our favorite pictures. I put them in a slideshow to the right hoping that it would be easier to view. Enjoy!
