Life with the Jenkins

I thought that would put some pictures of what is going on at home in Bountiful. We have been pretty busy since the baby came. I have been going to school and working full-time and Rachel is getting ready to start teaching guitar lessons here in October. She teaches them from our apartment so it works out great with her having this new baby and all.This is right before school started up, that is why I still have my dirty beard. I shaved it off so that they wouldn't mistake me for a homeless person.
This is when we me and Rachel went to Crystal Hot springs for just a weekend get away. I remember the Hot springs being in better shape. That place is pretty run down now a days, but the old people just can't get enough of it!
I really like this picture, it shows off my keen sense of style!
We got this robe and fell in love with it! This kid has more clothes than Rachel, at last count we were looking at like over 100 outfits!

These are my peppers, when we first got married I was looking for something to do and for some reason peppers caught my eye. I have 3 kinds growing out in front of the apartment, jalepenos, and 2 kinds of habaneros. It has been over a year and I finally have some habaneros growing, I can't wait for the heat!

Trip to Tahoe

Here are some pictures of when we went to Lake Tahoe with Rachel's parents. We wanted to go on a trip before Axel came, and it worked out great! Rachel's father has a time share and so we got to stay at Tahoe for a whole week. Before I got married I had never even taken a week long trip. The thing with week long trips is that you almost forget that you have a life away from vacation. It was so freaking hard for me to go back to work that next Monday. Here I am all hairy like, I didn't shave all summer long. Since I work as a custodian for the Davis School District I didn't have anyone to impress anyways.
This is the day that we played games. I am serious about the day thing, we started to play games at like 9:00 am and didn't stop until around 9:00 pm!
This was the day that me and Rachel walked down to the State line. It is like the California equivalent of Wendover. Well we passed this guy, who I guess was also on a walk. (I had hoped his rascal would run out of juice!)

This is a birds eye view of Rachel's pregnant haunch. You know what they say "Only a poor man can't build a shed over his best tool!"
This is just a picture of a happy Rachel, we were at a visitor's center for Tahoe. It would suck so bad to work for the forrest department. They all come off as potential serial killers, they live in the woods and are alone for most of the day! Creepy!

Some new stuff!

I am getting to like this blogging thing, but I do have a lot of catching up to do. So if figured I should post some more pictures. I don't have the Internet at my apartment so I only have access to the photos on my camera. But I will get some of our vacation pics posted so that everyone can see that we don't just sit around waiting to have babies. Here is happy pregnant Rachel, this is just a couple of days before she had Axel. I was surprised that she was still happy after 9 months of pregnancy. What a champ, although she couldn't sleep at night!
This is Axel when he was just 5 days old, I am sure he is just farting or something but we would like to think that he is just happy to be here.
Rachel took these pictures, she did a great job of getting him to smile.
This is how he likes to sleep at night I think he has dreams of being a bar tender at a saloon, and is being held up for all his cash!

This is him with his hair parted, this is how the nursery gave him to us right after he was born. Looks like a good future missionary to me!

Some more pictures of Axel!

Axel is just minutes old in this picture.

Here is Grandma with Axel, he is just hours old.
Now that is a nice head of hair!

This is him just before we went home from the hospital.
