Elder David Burtenshaw


Left us standing extremely proud and with tears streaming down our faces, 2 years ago at the Twin Falls Airport. He was on his way to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He would be serving in the Burmingham, England mission. I remember standing there that day watching him wave out to us from the airplane window thinking " This is going to be the longest 2 years of my life. It is going to be so hard to have him gone." Don't get me wrong. I was so proud of him, but I was going to miss him terribly. 2 years have gone by and I am very proud to announce that he is going to be coming home on Wednesday July 22nd at 6:00 pm. He has served so faithfully, and is definitely coming home with honor. It has been such an amazing experience for me to read his letters and to watch him really grow up. He is turning into such a great man. Yikes!I just called him a man! My little brother is growing up! Congratulations David!!! You did it!

The Fray


Eric surprised me with tickets to The Fray, as an early birthday present! Happy Birthday to me! I was so excited. We had so much fun just being together. Sitting on the grass at the Usana and getting some r&r while listening to great bands. Jacks Mannequin also came with them. They were fun to see as well. All in all it was a really great night! Thanks for the wonderful birthday present!!!It was a blast!

Addiction Dance

Recently, I have become a fan of So You Think You Can Dance. It is a really fun show and it has some truly amazing talent. This is one of my favorite dances of the season and I have watched it over and over again. It is so compelling. I wanted everyone to have the opportunity to experience it. The theme is about addiction and trying to be able to overcome it. So powerful! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Burtenshaw Family Reunion

Last weekend was the Butenshaw/Jensen family Reunion. It is when all of us siblings get together and basically have a 3 day party. It was so much fun. Thanks Dad and Darla for all that time and effort you put into planning and making thing happen.  We are lucky that you care enough to get us all together. Also, our camera has been broken for a while now, hence all the posts without pictures. I am very proud to announce that we bought a new one! I am so excited! Its a great camera and now I can get back to capturing all the memories we are making!! Yay! Here's a slide show of some of the fun. I need to make another because there are a ton more pictures! Enjoy!
