Sway's Christmas Dress

Swayzi and her big girl teeth!

Super Cute!!!

Waiting for Daddy

Swayzi started pulling herself up to the window every evening and then booking it to the back doors and I wasn't sure why until one night she pulled herself up to the window just as Chris drove up and she started laughing and clapping her hands and I realized she had been waiting for her daddy to get home every night!! That girl sure does like her Dad!

Yay for Christmas Time!!!

Festival of Trees with Aunt Heather!


Making Gingerbread(/graham cracker) houses!


Hangin' out with her buddy Jackson


St Nicholas day with her Mom and Daddy. She LOVED all the treasures St Nick left in her shoes!

Striking a super model pose!


Swayzi sure does love her great grammy Carolyn!



Swayzi's favorite thing to do is take the dogs water dish and dump it all over the floor. You'd think she didn't have any other MUCH cooler toys to play with huh?


She ESPECIALLY loves all the sweeties she gets to have around Christmas Time.


Until her mean mom takes her lolli away because she's using it as a beat down stick.
Poor unloved angry Swayzi :(

Swayzi LOVED helping us decorate (/undecorate) the tree! And all the ornaments that she didn't eat looked great on our little charlie brown tree!!!





Swayzi loves when Brittany comes over for sleepovers because Brittany may just be the only person on earth who can stand to read her "Fisher Price Jungle Adventure" book for hours!

Swayzi meets Santa

(a.k.a. my dad in his goofy santa suit:)

Santa took some getting used to at first, but once he gave
her a toy she decided she really liked santa!

Here's a video of our darling cute swayz at 8 months
walking with her pot at my moms house:

I still remember loading up the cherry red Audi with my grandpa for our first trip to Disneyland together. We went on every ride in the park. Its a small world was my favorite. We rode it time after time and i still loved it. I do believe that my little Swayzi has that same passion for the ride.

5 Reasons Why My Husband Freaking ROCKS!!!

On this day 5 years ago my fabulous husband (obviously then boyfriend) came home from his mission! My husband puts up with an awful lot. Turns out I'm not the easiest woman to live with and my husband should be eligible for sainthood for loving me for as long as he has. He has stuck around for a lot, and in honor of his now 5 years of being with me every single day, I've compiled a list of things I adore about my fabulous husband/baby daddy:

1: My husband adores me, and he is not afraid to shout it to the world. On our first date after he got home from Georgia, when he was opening the door for me he said "I Love You." I didn't hear him so I said what and he shouts "I LOVE YOU!!! THAT'S RIGHT!! HOLLI ANN JENSEN; LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING!!" right in the middle of the shops at riverwoods. I was totally embarrassed and hid in the car, but I'll never forget how much I secretly loved how much he didn't care if people thought he was nuts.


2: My husband is so humble. He is truly a christlike person, and he helps me every day to be a better person through his amazing example. I can't think of anyone else on earth I'd rather have help me raise my beautiful baby girl than Chris!!!


3: My husband supports me in everything I do. He also agrees with me- even though I may not be entirely in the right. (please note how I did not say when I'm wrong- because I am NEVER wrong :) I remember when I was pregnant I got upset over the DUMBEST things. My husband cleaned the stove "wrong" and I FREAKED out, so of course, he does it my way (the right way) and doesn't say a word about what a nagging beast I am. Later that night I asked him why he always let me have my way and he said "baby sometimes it's better to be happy than to be right." What a stud.


4: My husband is smokin' hott :) "nuff said.

5: My husband is kind. Not just nice sometimes-let me have my way-buy stuff for me-say I love you kind, but TRULY kind. He puts the needs of others before his needs always. He is never selfish, never greedy, and never mean. He never raises his voice or speaks unkindly to me. He goes out of his way to make my life easier, even when it makes his life harder. He gives me a holiday every month. On my holiday I get eggs benedict in bed for breakfast, a love note, a little present, and a whole day of my husband telling me how wonderful I am and how lucky he is to have me. I don't really need a holiday every month- because he really is that good to me every day. I am one lucky gal.

I really could go on for an awfully long time before I ran out of good qualities my husband has. He is my example, my teammate, and my very best friend! I am so blessed because I have found in life what most girls spend their whole lives trying to find; and very rarely actually do- a soulmate. Thanks baby for the best 3 years 3 months and 22 days of my life. I love you more today than I ever have and I can't even imagine going through this life with anybody but you!
