here's a recent foto of the family. not much to say about it except that we are happy to have two beautiful children and that i am happy to have a beautiful wife.

Adee Dances!

Last night Ben and I went down to Firth to watch Adee dance in the Cougarette Cavalcade!  She was such a cutie!  I wish I'd gotten a picture of her in her little yellow and pink sparkly costume.  Adee's routine had some fancy turns and some groovy moves and Adee made sure the other girls around her got in their correct positions!  

Later in the program they had a dance contest for kids 5 and under.  Kids who participated got candy.  When Beckham heard that he wanted to go right down.  His dancing included running out on the floor with the rest of the kids, running back to me when the music started, and then running back out on the floor when it was time to get the candy!  He's so funny!!  

Then Adee got to show her stuff again in the older kids dance contest!  Way to go, Girl!  

The program also included a Cougarette Alumni Drill Down.  I messed up pretty quickly last night, but this is a picture of me just after winning the 2A division drill down at Pacific North West Dance Competition in Boise my senior year!

Happy Birthday Trent!

What a Handsome young man!

Do you remember the hike we went on the last day of the Christensen Family Reunion last summer?  You were a real trooper even though it was hot and you were tired from playing so hard with your cousin's all weekend!

Congrats on turning ten Trent!!  Just think, only 2 more years of Primary!  We all love you, bud!  Hope your day was the best!

The Blessing

Just a couple more pictures.  

So it was really hard to find a day to bless Julia because so many babies were being born and blessed at the same time.  We would have done it the first sunday in January, but Ben's sister Roxanne was having her baby that weekend, so Ben's parents wouldn't have been there.  Then we would have done it the first Sunday in February, but Ben's sister Roxanne was blessing their baby, and they had to do it then because her husband is in the army and that's the only weekend he could come home.  So we blessed Julia on the 8th of February which turned out to be a not so good day to do it to.  Jeff and Heather were blessing their baby that day so Grandma and Grandpa Christensen had to decide which one to go to (they came to Jules') and Grandma and Grandpa Jensen had planned their trip to Arizona for that weekend because they thought we'd bless Julia the first Sunday in February so they couldn't be there at all!  

I guess I learned that I need to communicate better!!  Anyway, it was a great day, and Julia was beautiful and very good during her blessing!  Ben did a really good job! I think he was a little nervous, but he was very eloquent and said very nice things that I don't remember!
