Happy Birthday Jensen ~ 17 ~

Jensen is officially 17!  I cannot believe it!  My little J is a junior and only a year away from graduating and two away from his mission.  Yikes!  I am trying very hard to live in the moment and appreciate where he is now, but I know how fast it goes.  Jensen was fortunate this year because his birthday fell on a Friday and there was a teacher inservice day scheduled which meant "NO SCHOOL"  so he got the best gift of all, a day off.  Thursday night he decided to have a bunch of friends meet at Laser Quest then after they came over to our house to hang out.  The boys stayed the night and didn't sleep much.  I did.  Thanks to Tylenol PM.  They got to sleep in and then have a big breakfast by chef me.  After they went and played ultimate frisbee at the park.   Jensen just came back home and relaxed the rest of his day.  He had a great time, and I had so much fun watching him enjoy his day.   

Entering the game

Jensen won the 1st game, even wearing all white...which is the color that glows the most brightly under the black lights?  Not sure how he pulled that off?
