This is Danielle's Birthday. She was born in Arco, Idaho. The same town I was born in 26 years earlier. At this time Glenn was in Fort Ord and I had gone home to live with my parents because Jeremy was a baby. So She was born beneath the famous "Numbers Hill Arco. This was one happy baby. She didn't really fuss until she was 4 months old and she learned that with a brother only 14 months older that her, she had better make her fair share of noise to get what she needed. This picture was taken when she was about 14 months old, we were up in Spokane and Glenn's mother insisted on taking them in to get their pictures taken. It is one of my favs. We lived in California until she was about 8 months old and moved to Meridian, Idaho where we lived for 6 years. This is a retarded post, because my computer has a virus and I am at Kimberly's or I would get a picture from that time in her life, let me say, she was fun, cute, and had a lot of friends. Her hair was very long.
When we moved to Moses Lake, Danielle was 6 and in the first grade. She was such a friendly girl that by the end of the first day of school she knew all the people at school, including the cook and the janitor. We moved in next to JoAnn DeGeorge who taught dance, she was a cute ballerina.
She is a great big sister, go through our family photos and she is always taking care of her younger siblings. She is a good younger sister to Jeremy, too. When they were both at Ricks, she cleaned and cooked for him, too nice.
Cute, mature girl. I can't show next years picture, because, I cute her hair in a bob, because dad likes short hair. I scared her for life, But this is a great picture.
By the time she was in Junior High she had the confidence to accompany choir! She is a great sight reader. This is her at Jeremy's Eagle Scout court of honor.
I love this candid shot of her and this big band trophy. She played the French horn and trumpet. We think of her every time we hear a French horn, especially in the Temple. I haven't heard anyone play it any better than she did!

Ricks Graduation, She also graduated from USU after she was married. When she came off her mission, she headed to Prove, took one class there, because they didn't have her Major, but they were happy to have her serve as Relief Society President!
The special day she got her endowment in the Idaho Falls Temple. Check out the crazy hair of her mom and dad. These are her Grandma and Grandpa Jensen.

One the way to the Temple to get married! (See the big sister coming out in her?)
Jeff and Danielle, now.

You did good, Mom! Sorry it was so dramatic there.
You make me sound like an okay person! Only one thing...you had way too many random things. You can't possibly think that is my age!?
You are more than an OK person, you are way over the top fabulous!
phsaw! And by the way, thank you for the niceties. The late hour and the end of a long day made my manners a little less sharp. Thank you for the tribute!
Happy Birthday indeed!! You're okay in my book. I've really enjoyed having you as my sister all these years!
doesn't have to win huh? I beg to differ :)
