Vegas Baby

In the post from just a moment ago, I ended on Sunday. Well come Monday, I was off to vegas for a data center conference. A co-worker and I went and stayed at the MGM Grand hotel. Conference was good, but it was a conference...and a busy one. Started at 7am...ended at 5:30. Tougher than is sounds. I have to thank Steph because I know how hard it is/was with the two "angels", the dog, the car issues, etc. Thanks kiddo!


I took a few pictures with the iPhone....Lions at the MGM, NY NY, The Strip, etc.

Thanksgiving Recap

Sorry for the delay in posts....It's been a bit crazy the last week...and here is why:

Thanksgiving - Had a great day with our friends (The Doerrs). Mom and Dad J were in Long Beach, while Mom and Dad C were in San Jose. We had a fabulous dinner and enjoyed just taking it easy. We did mix in a little Turkey Bowl at the viewpoint. Thanks Cary and Julia for a great Thanksgiving.

Black Friday - Well, normally I have ventured out on black friday for one of the sacred bargins. However, this year nothing really jumped out at me. So, there was no waking up at 4am to get that bargin. We did venture out to a mall, but it was to Bellevue for a movie. We took the girls to Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium at the new Lincoln Square. Maddie invited her friend Makalya along as well.

Saturday - This was reunion night...Reunion of the Meyers, McAllisters, Doerrs and Jensens trip to Vegas for Dave's BDay last October. We enjoyed a great dinner at Racha Noodle, then headed to Chopstix Piano Bar. We had a awesome time hanging out, singing songs, etc. Good times for sure!!

Sunday - After a late night on Saturday, we laid low at home on Sunday. Ran a few errands here and there, and found ourselves back at Bellevue Square. On the way home, the kids fell asleep (no nap) so Steph and I improvised for dinner. We picked up Angelinas chicken parm and ate dinner in the Suburban at the Hamilton viewpoint. While there we had the opportunity to see a super cool "moon rise" over the city.

So, that was the holiday weekend...never a dull moment. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is the day....The day where we fill out stomachs with so much food that we feel ill :-)

Actually, this day is about much more than that. It is about giving thanks for all the blessings in our life. This post is a group effort. We decided to sit down after breakfast and list out all the things we are thankful for...see if you can determine who is thankful for what (and who got on the computer).

Launch Night = Late Night

Well...10:30pm...25 1/2 hours since we started our upgrade process, and I am....still at the office :-(

Unfortunately things haven't gone like we planned so we it is taking us a lot longer to get the job done. In the software world, and especially in the daptiv.com world this is just how it is. I have to say thanks again to Steph for her understanding and patience. I have been gone all day, and I know that our two little "angels" are not always that.

P.S. - A milestone for the jensenfamily blog...our 100th post!!

Launch Night

Tonight, my company is releasing a new version of our product/service. Might not sound too exciting, but this is a pretty big deal. We have been busy writing this new version, and building a new data center. Anyway, it started about 9pm and will go all weekend. Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow. This doesnt happen all that often, but is stressful none the less.

Part of the team that is performing the update live a ferry boat away, so rather than make them travel at wee hours in the AM, we put them up in the hotel that is right by our office. The Hotel 1000. This is cool, upscale hotel that is worth checking out. Here are a few pics of the room that I took with the iPhone.

Anyway, wish us luck. Also, thanks to Steph and the Kids for their patience :-)

Happy Haircut

Well, it was bound to happen sometime. Our "crafty" little Kenzie used her "safety" scissors to do some work to her hair. As you can see she is really proud of her work. Now, KK isnt the only guilty one here (surprise surprise)...Big Sister Maddie did the first little clip, then KK did the big one!
