Awaiting Baby Abigail

Jessica is due to have her first baby on November 17th. We are so excited for her and Jay to bring this expected little one into thier family. We drove to Idaho Falls to attend a family BBQ and Baby Shower for Jess and Jay. Just look at Papa Schiers cuddling baby Kiera Jo, what a proud Grandpa! This will be our 6th Grandchild between the two of us and our seven children. Jared and Cindy's little Kiera Jo also attended the baby shower as well, she is getting so big, and is now keeping her eyes open when you talk to her!

Memory Walk 2010

Pat's Party took 3rd Place for Private Group Donations!

Walking and Talking Made for a Great Family Day!

Hailey, Lexi, and Gracie - Cousins Enjoying the Day Together!

My Dad, 81 years old, even participated in the Walk!

Yes, the Babies in Strollers Went Right Along With Us!

What a great day we had in behalf of the Alzhiemer's Memory Walk 2010, held at Murray High School in Salt Lake City on Saturday, September 18th. "Pat's Party" representing the Dale Steiner Family walked in Memory of Her, Our Mother, Grandmother, and Wife to Dale. Mom (Pat) passed away last August, and this was our way of honoring her memory and her fight against this chronic debilitating disease of Alzhiemer's. We as a family raised $1500.00 dollars towards Alzhiemer's Research. Thanks goes mostly to the family members in Utah County for their fundraising effort's and to my Niece's for all the hard work they put into this event. What a great time we had, and for a great cause! We miss you ton's Mom, (Grandma Pat), But Oh, what a Party we had for You!

Missing You, Mom!

Our family is gearing up for the Alzhiemer's Walk in Salt Lake to help raise awareness and money for Research and a Cure for Alzhiemer's. The walk-a-thon just so happens this year to fall on my own Mother's Birthday, the 18th of September. We are walking in behalf of her. It has been one year since we lost my Mother to chronic physical alements and the debilitating disease of Alzhiemer's. My youngest and only son, Elder Zachary Jensen, was born on my mothers birthday 20 years ago. He will be participating in this walk as well, even though he is currently serving an LDS Mission in Romania. He mentioned to me in his latest e-mail that he will be walking several miles that day as well, for "Pat's Party". He said he wouldn't think of missing out on this opportunity . We miss you mom!

Digging Potatoes With Papa!

Family and Friends

I've had so much fun doing my son, Zach's Blog, I thought that I would try one for our family. It's been great fun, and a good way for us to keep in touch and see what's going on in each other's lives in words and pictures! As we enter into this Fall Season, my own personal favorite time of year, I am so greatful for the many blessings that I have, and the many friendship's that I've developed over the years. I hope that you enjoy this Blog as much as I have enjoyed being a part of your lives, and your families!

Meeting Elder Derrick Schwartz

Zach's first companion in the town of Timisoara was Elder Derrick Schwarts, originally from Boise, ID. Elder Jensen (Zach) was his last companion in the mission field before returning home to Saratoga Springs, UT where his family had recently moved to this year.

Zach had always mentioned how well he got along with Elder Schwartz and how much fun it was to experiment with cooking with Derrick. If any of you have looked up Zach's Mission Blog you'll remember the story and pictures of the eggplant that exploded in the oven.

Anyway, we were fortunate enough to meet Derrick while on a trip to Utah and get a little aquainted with him. We gave him a Mannhiem Steamrollers Christmas CD so that he can alway's remember how exciting it was when they opened Zach's Birthday Package in October and listened to all the Christmas CD's that very night!
