Vacations and Our Lives

It's time that I finally update our blog. Just for the record I have tried several times but the memory on my Picasa account was almost full so I couldn't upload pictures. So I'd thinned out some of my old photo albums and now I can finally upload pictures. This is going to be a Reader's Digest version of what's been going on...
Last month we flew to Vegas to see Sean's oldest brother Jared and his family. We had a blast. Jared had just finished taking the bar, so he was actually able to spend time with us. We ate lots of great food, went swimming, and of course, took dozens of pictures of our kids. Here are a few pictures...


Here we are somewhere on the strip (I know it's been so long since you've seen our faces)


Adalynn, Devin and Lexi playing dress up


We dressed them up so they matched. Some people really thought they were twins.


I don't know what we were thinking. Vegas in August. But we went swimming everyday to cool off.


Playing dress up in FAO Schwartz.

The end of last month we drove to western Idaho and stayed in McCall for a week with my family. McCall is a cute little town. The lake is gorgeous. It was nice to get away before Sean started school again...


Our family.


My family.

Lexi and I watching on the boat we rented.


Sean isn't as young as he used to be, he was sore after a day on the lake. My family rented a boat and a jet ski.


Lexi loved the beach and playing in the sand.

Since McCall we've been keeping busy in Rexburg...


Since I last posted, Lexi turning 14 months old. In fact, she'll be 15 months old next week. She has grown and change a bunch. She is such a little person now and not so much a baby. I'll have to devote an entire post to her.


This month Sean started his senior year. He has one semester left now (and an internship).


On September 12th we participated in a march across Rexburg. There was a protest in Washingon DC that day. One report estimated 2 million in DC.


We marched from Porter Park to the Rex. Here is Lexi at the theater.


The weather has been amazing this month. Lexi got to experience the Spray Park a few more times.

This past weekend we went down to Utah. We got to spend time with Sean's family. He and some of his brother's went to the BYU vs. Colorado State game on Saturday. We were also able to see our best friend's Buck and Aubrey. Here are some pictures from our crazy weekend...


Lexi and Mikayla


I got to watch Lexi, Adalynn and Devin during the game.


Of course the weekend invloved taking pictures of these girls.


The grandkids (minus Halle) all playing together.


Five of the six Christensen kids were together this weekend (minus Andrea who we missed). It was so much fun to be with family.



THERE! I DID IT! I updated my blog.

FYI, 5 years ago today Sean entered the MTC.
