RJ & I to feel very blessed to have almost all (not all...we miss you Layne & Jane) of our family live in the valley. Not only in the valley, but they live pretty close by. My boys are lucky to be able to see there cousins on both the Jensen side and Muller side often. On the Jensen side, we try our hardest to go over to Grammy & Grandpa Jensen's every Sunday night so my boys get to play & hang out with there Jensen cousins. And pending a bad day at church for me (handling all 4 boys by myself) or a horrible migraine for RJ (after working an 8-10 hour day each Sunday in the Bishopric) we do make it most of the time. A few Sunday's back, all the Jensen's gathered at our home, instead of Grammy & Grandpa's. This was due to the fact that I had actually cooked (which doesn't happen often) and had plenty of food to share with all. When everyone was over, Jax, (Kevin & Marisa's youngest son who is only 6 weeks older than our Hayes), was getting a little fussy. So Marisa began to feed him. As soon as Hayes saw the jar of food and the spoon appear, he army crawled right over to Aunt Marisa and opened his mouth. He didn't care if his cousin's mouth had been on the spoon previous to him...he wanted "the goods." So I got Aunt Marisa a second spoon for Hayes (for mine and her sake) and she proceeded to feed both babies at the same time. A spoonful for Jax, then a spoonful for Hayes. THEY LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT, well every minute that the spoon was in there mouth.
We are grateful for family that is so close and that my boys can grow up with cousins as great friends.
