Thanksgiving BLAST!

We spent this Thanksgiving with the Christensens. Deb is an amazing cook and with so many of us the amount of food is amazing! Tami (Crea's big sis) made everyone a treat bag, they were so cute and yummy. After lunch the guys decided to start blowing things up. Pumpkins, buckets...anything they could stick the explosives in. The video is sideways--sorry. The rest of the day was spent playing games. Crea and his brothers and sisters played 3 consecutive games of RISK. It was a lot of fun!

Crea's latest task

Christensen Bro. Farms is building a hay barn. Crea has been welding and torch cutting alot lately. One day he was using the torch and looked down to see the inside of his pant leg on fire! That's my studly man! Don't worry, no permanent damage was done, except for his pants.

Hangin' with the Christiansens

Tori, Lila, & Lea

We had Mel and Ry's girls while they went to YF&R for a few days in Nov. One night Aubrey and Kaylee had Basketball prictice in Enterprise so we spent a few hours hanging with RJ and the kids (Dee was shopping with sisters). The kids all had fun doing head stands, screaming and running around. Little Blakelee wouldn't put Abby down, she loved her.

Birthday for Kindy

Mel and I painted Kindy's room for her 8th Birthday. I think Mel and I have a slight addiction to paint fumes or something because we are always looking for something to paint! Happy Birthday Lou!

A Good Morning

It's a rare morning when you can get three little girls to wake up smiling and happy. I had to get a picture of it because it was just a perfect moment. I love my girls!

Happy Halloween!

We had a lot of fun this Halloween! Lila decided to be Cinderella and that wasn't too hard to pull off for my little princess. Hali had a little help deciding from her cousin Kaylee. If we asked her what a chicken said she would say, "Boggle, Boggle!" Yeah, I think we are mixing turkey and chicken for that one. We go out to our little school for a trunk or treat and carnival every year and the girls have so much fun. Abby was a bunny for about 2 minutes and then Crea made me take the hat off. I love fall!

It's a good thing she's cute

Yesterday Hali went through Lila's backpack while Lila and I did homework and by the time I found her she had mutilated the side of her hair. This is the third time she has cut her hair but I usually find her before she does this much damage. So she has a cute little bob now. The shortest pieces are as short as her bangs but I couldn't bring myself to do it that short. Oh, how I love that kid! Her Papa Norton would be so proud.

Deer Camp 2008

Every October the Christensen family goes up into the hills and camps during the deer hunt. They have been doing this for over 50 years. The kids have a ball with the horses and 4 wheeelers!
