PIE NIGHT

Tonight is our 1st ever PIE NIGHT.

Sammie's 9th Birthday (stolen blog)

2009-02-02T23:02:00.000-08:00

I am such a bad blogger about our family. I guess I feel like I am around it every day and so it is not that big of a deal to quickly post to my blog. My sister Carrie is the worlds best blogger. She documents the things that are important and the things that are funny and the things that are spiritual and the things that are silly.... yes, I know this is a run on sentence, but I want to show that she blogs about everything. Well I "borrowed" these posts from her blog. *see how she even blogs about important things about her nieces and nephews!!!! Carrie you are amazing and thanks for blogging this so I could steal it and have it on my blog! LOVE YOU!

We got to celebrate Sammie's birthday with her! She turned 9 and wanted to go to the mall & get her ears pierced so the girls went to support her. She was so brave & her new earrings look BEAUTIFUL!Proud of you Sammie! Happy Birthday!

Sam didn't want cake for her birthday, she wanted Elf Spaghetti (a la the movie Elf). That is a tradition that Jeff & Kim started with their boys and they were pro's- particularly Asher. We had a table full of candy, pop tarts, cookies, maple syrup, chocolate syrup & of course....spaghetti noodles. The kids LOVED IT! and the most disgusting part is that they actually ATE the noodles.

Trevor's Money Tree

2008-11-04T15:41:00.000-08:00

We made a deal with Trevor that if he got straight A's then he would get 100.00. If he got all A's and 1 B then he would get 75.00. He got his report card yesterday and he got all A's and 1 B. So my mom suggested that I make him a money tree to give him his money. HE LOVED IT!!!! I love the picture of him seeing his grades! He is such a good young man and we love him so much!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-04T15:33:00.000-08:00

We had such a fun Halloween this year! Trevor was a fictional character that he created called "Commander Carrot" (Don't ask), Sammie wanted to be a fairy but she ended up getting stitches right above her eye 2 days before so she decided to be a dead fairy. I thought she looked super scary! Jerry was a ninja. Sadie was an egyptian princess. She wasn't a big fan of eye liner. She kept blinking and then would wipe her eye. ALL IN ALL it was a fun time!

Here is a close up of the 4 stitches and you can tell that by her eyebrow it is swollen. I covered the yellow bruise with the gray and purple makeup!

~Jerry Lost His FIRST TOOTH~

2008-10-31T12:41:00.000-07:00

Jerry is 6 1/2 and I thought his baby teeth were going to stay forever but I was wrong! We were on our way to a Halloween Party and he came to me with his mouth all bloody and holding the TINIEST TOOTH EVER! His other tooth is already in and it is like a sharks tooth because of how far back it came in... Hello Orthodontist!

FALL FUN!

2008-10-20T11:01:00.000-07:00

The Heninger kids came over and all of the kids thought it would be tons of fun to rake leaves! (Yeah for me!) They were so cute! They raked them in a pile and then would jump and play in them! I LOVE THE FALL!!!!

My Healthy Gift Basket Gift

2008-08-27T16:07:00.000-07:00

My visiting teacher JeNae made me a healthy gift basket! I think this is such a great idea and I have been enjoying it so much! Who wouln't love flowers and food?!??! It made my very stressful day much more enjoyable! I love the organization of the Church. I love that I have someone who is looking out for me and my family (we are extra blessed to have a lot of those kind of people in our lives!!!!). I love that she came by on a day that is crazy for me (and I am sure that it is crazy for her too), she still was thinking of me and showed me in a very sweet way! There were delicious muffins, and my favorite Baby Belle cheese, assorted fruits and veggies, and some delicious bread. I feel so spoiled! Thanks JeNae you are a wonderful visiting teacher!

4th of July fun

2008-07-16T07:17:00.000-07:00

Bike parade around the Christensens neighborhood. There was a big firetruck that we all followed and the kids decorated their bikes and scooters and strollers and went around the neighborhood and waved to all of the neighbors who came out to watch! SO MUCH FUN! Short and sweet! The Blair family came too and so most of the kids in this picture are with us! There were 14 kids in all from our group.
Jenny, Sadie and Perry Christensen on the parade route. Sadie waved for the first half of the parade and then she gave up and Perry was not thrilled with shaking her pom poms so they just stayed in her lap but it was still so fun!
Sammie, Jerry, and Sadie at the pre fireworks show out in Woodland. It was AWESOME! They had bounce houses, music, face painting and just general tomfoolery! Then there was an AMAZING firework show that Sarah's brother did!
The girls after face painting.

Trevor and Tom were at scout camp and MISSED all of the 4th celebrations. This is Trev on the 5th when they got home. He is in his Camp Winton shirt that he got there. They both had a great time, we just missed them.
