I LOVE my kids!!!

I feel so blessed to have the best kids in the world.

Cayge is so funny. And what a good brother! He is all about his sisters, and he plays very well with them. He is now in 1st grade, and how time has flown. He is very shy, but loves the attention from girls! He has such a great imagination, and also is such a gamer! Man I love this kids.


Icee is such a beautiful little girl. She looks just like her Aunt Brianna! She is really into Polly Pockets and loves daycare. Why, I'm not sure, I think it's a social thing. She is starting to tease and it drives me crazy, but she thinks it's pretty funny. She LOVES babies, and bugs me all the time to have another one. She is really starting to draw really good! I am so glad all my kids can, and like to draw!




Shylee is such a goofball!!!! I don't think I can say that enough! She is very loving and caring. She is very independant! Wants to do everything herself! She is really into "Little People" the toys and Go Any Where girls. She is slowly getting out of the Dora stage! (YES! I'm so excited about that!) She also is a teaser, and thinks that whining gets her whatever she wants, so she does it all the time.

I would do anything for my kids. They are my life and my heart. I couldn't imagine life with out them!

Summer Posts

Okay so I just made 7 new postings. But for whetever reason, they posted backwards. So The top post was the beginning of the summer and the last post is the most recent. Sorry about that.

Family Reunion

This summer we were lucky enough to go to my Grandma's family reunion in Bone, Idaho. We had such a great time. Visiting with family, it was so much fun. (My sister Danyelle and her little family also came, even though she is not on this side of the family. I was so greatful to be able to spend time with my sisters and their babies!)

Saturday night of the Reunion, they had a "Bone Idol" and my girls decided they wanted to sing. Shylee sang You are My Sunshine






Icelynn sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star



Watching the fireworks after the Bone Idol



Shylee in her hat she got for being the youngest contestant on Bone Idol




This is my nephew Hayden. He is probably the funniest kid that I know. He says and does the most craziest things that I have ever seen. We miss this little guy and his brother, Chance!

Grandma's Garden

This is the BEST grandma in the world. My Grandma Christensen has been such an influence in my life and I have been so blessed that my kids get to also get to spend time with her. This is up at their cabin in Bone, Idaho. My grandma has such a green thumb! She has two gardens (one also at her valley house!) and they have always thrived. There's nothin' better than a fresh garden salad! Her and the kids went out and was picking strawberries for strawberries and cream. Again, what a blessing she is to us!























Shylee got a little bored with the berries and found this winmill and started dumping dirt all over herself!







Icee showing off her basket of berries. (Not sure what the pose with her head behind her back is all about?)



This is my Grandma and Grandpa Christensen. They are the best grandparents anyone could ever ask for. What hard workers. They are past retirement age and haven't stopped working for anything. What great examples they are. (This is also my nephew Hayden)


Random Summer Pictures

What a great summer we had. So many fun things to do! These are just a few cute pics that I took!








Cayge and Icee one night decided they wanted to play "Backpack fighters" that were defending the house from all evil! And this is what they wore. It was so cute to see them running all around the house and in and out of the house!







Their "serious fight" faces!

Shylee's 3!!!!

My little baby is 3, and I can't believe it! On the actual night of her birthday we bought a tiny little cake and let her open her gift from the family (the bottom pictures), and then the following Saturday, we had a little birthday party for her. We filled up their pool, and turned the sprinkler on the trampoline. We had a lot of fun! Thanks to our friends that came!
















Cayge and his good friend Kaola


Icelynn and her good friend Noelani




So these ones are from her real birthday night. Rayce was at football camp all day, and could make it (they are required to stay at the dorms for 18 days!).






This is our little ShyShy in a nut shell. She thinks that the camera is for making crazy funny faces!

Our New Trampoline

We finally broke down at the end of the summer and bought the kids a trampoline, and the LOVE it! They spend so much time out there! They love to put the sprinkler under it and jump, and this day I spent like 1 hour filling up these tiny little balloons and they had them all popped in like a matter of 3 minutes, it was crazy!














Sleeping On The Tramp

So on one of the few nice nights in between Rayce's football fall camp and school starting we hauled bunch of blackets outside and slept on the trampoline. The kids were so excited they had been waiting for this for weeks. They sat and talked for like 3 hours, but finally dosed off around 1 in the morning. We had a lot of fun, and the kids were just so darn cute!














I just thougt this picture was so cute. It's not very centered, but is still looks cute I think.
