SOME YEARS AFTER TRISTAN JOINED OUR FAMILY AND CHUCK AND SHIRLEY HAD MOVED BACK TO ARIZONIA THEY WELCOMED OUR 8TH AND LAST GRANDCHILD. TRENT WAS BORN ON AUNT JOSSINE'S BIRTHDAY ON OCT. 24TH. HE HAS BEEN A GOOD ADDITION TO THE JENSEN FAMILY. THAT SAME YEAR IN NOV. OUR FIRST GREAT GRAND SON MADE HIS DEBUT IN MISSISSIPPI. HIS DAD C.J WAS IN THE NAVY THERE AND HIS PETERSON GRANDPARENTS TOOK HIS MOM DOWN WHEN CJ HAD ABOUT SETTLED IN FOR HIS WEATHERMAN'S TRAINING IN THE NAVY. NOT HIS FIRST CHOICE AS A CAREER.

FROM THERE THEY WERE TRANFERED TO SPOKANE WA. AND SPENT THE REST OF THE NAVY TIME THERE. CJ TOOK COLLEGE CLASSES WHEN EVER HE COULD WHILE IN SPOKANE THEN WENT TO LOGAN, FOR THE REST OF HIS COLLEGE. LENELL DID DAY CARE BOTH IN WA. AND UTAH AND CJ DID WHAT EVER JOBS HE COULD TO SUPPLEMENT THERE INCOME. HE GRADUATED IN THE TOP OF HIS CLASS. HE HAD APPLIED FOR DENTAL SCHOOL WAS ACCEPTED AT UCON IN CONNETICUT. WHILE IN CONNETICUT ANDREW AND AVERY JOINED ALEX IN THE JENSEN FAMILY.
C.J. GRADUATED IN THE TOP OF HIS CLASS AND THEN SPENT A YEAR DOING AN INTERNSHIP DURING THIS PERIOD HE RE JOINED THE NAVY AND WAS SENT TO HILL AIRBASE IN UTAH AFTER THE INTERNSHIP WAS COMPLETED. THEIR FOURTH SON AIDEN JOINED THE FAMILY SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN THERE. I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THESE BOYS AS MY GREAT GRAND CHILDREN.

SCOTT AND DENISSE MARRIED WHILE AT BYU IDAHO AND THEY ADDED TWO MORE CHILDREN TO MY POSTERITY. FIRST BRIELLE AND SO FAR THE ONLY GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER. BRADEN CAME A YEAR LATER AND SCOTT GRADUATED AND IS NOW IN VIRGINIA GOING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL HIS LIFE LONG DREAM TO BE COME A GOOD DR. I HAD A REPORT FROM ONE OF THE STUDENTS MOTHERS THAT SCOTT IS AN EXCELLENT STUDENT AND WILL BECOME A GREAT DR. DENISSE TAUGHT SPANISH AT RICKS THEN BYU I THAT HELPED THEM KEEP THE WOLF AWAY FROM THEIR DOOR. SCOTT HAS WORKED AT MANY JOBS AS DID CJ TO HELP PAY THEIR BILLS .

RYAN MET KARA AFTER HIS MISSION HE WAS AT BYU IDAHO AND KARA ENROLLED AS A STUDENT GRADUATED WITH AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE.
THEY DECIDED TO ALSO START THEIR FAMILY AND NOW WE HAVE NATHANIEL AND HIS NEW BABY BROTHER CHRISTOPHER. IT HAS BEEN SO FUN HAVING THESE GREAT GRAND CHILDREN CLOSE AND GET TO KNOW THEM. HOW EVER VERY LONELY AS THEY LEAVE FOR MORE SCHOOLING. RYAN IS BEING INTERVIEWED AT DENTAL SCHOOLS AND WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW CJ AT UCON. HOPE AND PRAY HE'S ACCEPTED THERE AS THAT IS HIS FIRST CHOICE AND FIRST INTERVIEW.

JANA WAS FORTUNATE TO BE SET UP WITH A DATE WITH ROB. THEIR ROMANCE WAS SORTA LONG DISTANCE AS WAS HER PARENTS. SHE WAS IN AZ. AND HE IN UTAH. AFTER MARRIAGE SHE CONTINUED TO WORK THEN WHEN THEY DECIEDED TO START A FAMILY PARKER MADE HIS ENTRANCE INTO OUR WORLD. AT THIS WRITTING I HAVE EIGHT GREAT GRAND SONS AND ONE GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER. SHOULD SOON KNOW WHAT PARKERS SIBBLING WILL BE IN FEB.2009.

I'M HAPPY CJ AND LENELL LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO VISIT IDAHO NOW AND THEN ALSO I APPRECIATE ROB AND JANA'S VISITS. AS I LOOK AT MY MARRIED GRAND CHILDREN AND THEIR SPOUSES I COULDN'T HAVE PICKED BETTER FOR EACH OF THEM. YOU'VE ALL MADE ME PLEASED WITH THOSE WIVES AND HUSBAND. AND SO WITH THAT I'LL GO UP AND GET COMFORTABLE AS IT IS ALREADY 8:30 P.M.
