Grandpa Jensen

Grandpa Jensen turned 80 years old in February so we had an awesome birthday for him on Saturday! The whole family was there along with lots of friends, neighbors, and many others that love and admire him. The party started with lots of good food!


Then we had a little magic show by Uncle Dale. Grandpa used to do magic shows for all the grandkids, church activities, and all sorts of other things. He passed that talent on to his son Dale, and now I think Chris might even be looking forward to learning the tricks of the trade. :) After the show Grandpa read us some of his cowboy poetry. I really love to hear and read the things that he's written because it seems to me to be a really unique way to keep your own personal history.

The last event of the party was when everybody got to choose from some of Grandpa's treasures. You see, Grandpa Jensen has a hobby of going to auctions and buying all sorts of crazy stuff. He seriously bought a box of extra large bikinis one time and gave it to Chris. I mean, what the heck?! Anyways, amidst all the crazy weird stuff he actually has some really cool stuff. He honestly has a room full of random items at his house and his wife kinda made him get rid of some things. We got some really cool stuff I think. Anyways, it was a really fun day and one of the best parts was hearing Grandpa bear his testimony. I love having such a big family that shares the gospel. I want that to be my family some day. :)
