Jensen Update -- May 2021

*Shakespeare in the park -- Comedy of Errors

*Senior Ball for Jaiden and Janelle Click here for pictures: https://wendyjensen.blogspot.com/2021/05/senior-ball-jaiden-and-janelle.html

*Endoscopy and Dilation for Wendy (diagnosed with EOE) 

*Interpreting part time at Dixie Tech (Wendy)  

*Mother's Day Tea (see blog for details)

*Josh passed the test to get his learner's permit -- on the first try. I signed him up for Driver's Education in July. Now he can start getting his driving hours in! 

*Josh took the AP Chinese Test. Janelle took the AP test for AP Gov (I think) and Jaiden for AP Language Arts

*Jaiden and Janelle sang at Janelle's Senior Honor Night and Jenna sang a solo in church on Mother's Day. 

*Janika and Brandon moved into their new town home in Pleasant Grove! Pictures and info on the blog: https://wendyjensen.blogspot.com/2021/06/new-home-owners-janika-and-brandon.html

*The Madrigals had their final concert. They did lots of upbeat songs and so it was more entertaining than I was expecting! 

*Josh got a job at a family owned restaurant in Ivins called "The Ice Box." He has worked two days so far.   

*Jared finished up his college year at DSU with a 4.0 for the year. He enjoys lots of social time with his friends and loves working at Dutch Bros. Jared does most of the grocery shopping and cooking for his apartment and then his roommates all pitch in with the cost.

*Rick started interpreting a class at DSU for the summer. He will be teaching an FSY Session this month. They also wanted us to be session directors this year, but asked us so late that our schedule was already quite full.

*Josh finished up the soccer season and we went to the final banquet/awards night.

*Rick and Josh went to Father and Sons, but the weather had turned cold and it snowed in Pine Valley. They didn't sleep over. The girls and I went out to dinner with Williams. 

*Janelle graduated from Seminary! She was on the Seminary Council this past year and was one of the speakers at the graduation

*Janelle went to Grad Night where they had a nice dinner and all sorts of activities for the graduating class. It was at the Dixie Convention Center. Usually it is an all-night thing the night of graduation, but this was the night before graduation and went from 6:30 to 11:30. I liked this way better! 

*Janelle graduated from high school!! She wore the honor cord and white National Honor Society stole. She and six other Madrigal Seniors sang at graduation. It was hot! https://wendyjensen.blogspot.com/2021/05/janelle-graduation.html


*Janelle finished up her mission papers, but then had to push the "submit" date back since she can't submit until four months before her birthday. She thought she could submit early and have her birthday in the MTC, but it wouldn't let her submit them earlier. 

*Jaiden went to Senior Sunrise (A tradition that I really do NOT like!) Rick had just purchased a big speaker for Father's Day Flee, and she brought that. She met up with some girlfriends for swimming and an outdoor movie. Then they watched a couple of movies inside and went to another friend's house for S'mores and later met at airport hill for a dance party and the sunrise. It was her first time staying up all night. She said that she had plenty of energy and didn't get tired, but a day or two later she got sick and was wiped out for the weekend (just one of the many reasons I do not support this activity!) 

*Jaiden had her birthday and turned 17! Jaiden requested Cafe-Rio style sweet pork for her birthday dinner and so I made that Sunday night and it turned out really good! Jase and Ellen and Jared came over. We had brownies and ice cream and played Balderdash. Monday Jaiden opened her presents and then went out to lunch with her friends. That night we all went to Tuacahn to watch Annie!! We enjoyed it! That is our month!!
