March Madness....wait its April now!

OK so there is a lot of Pictures in this post because I am a little behind. Hopefully the Pictures tell the story well enough that I don't have to get into a long detail narration for each....enjoy.

My Grandmas 71st Birthday Bash
Love this ladie!

My SLC Trip with my Girlies....don't mind the creepy hotel in the back that's just where we stayed!



We watched Alice in Wonderland in 3D. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite fairy tales I watched the Disney one until everyone in my family was pretty much sick to death of it.

Doin' our business

Catching some sun!

We went to IN - OUT I love that place and had not been to one since we went to one Cali when I was 14 years old. I had to go.

The End.....or until next time!

Just had to post this she is sooo silly, I love it!

My Man and I have been fixing the basement up in our house. So here we are going out in the snow and rain again to pick up base boards, flooring, painting and what ever else come our way.

Daddy Daughter Date! Finally!....My Man took Mj out to see "How to train your dragon" for their date. This is a tradition in my family with my father and is one of the things that I have a great testimony on. I believe this helped me have a close relationship with my father. So I wanted My Man to do the same for our little ones too. This is the very first one.




Easter Egg Hunt at Great Grandmas House.....while she was out...lol, which was a little weird for me but anyways the kids had fun. And got lots of candy and also got to see there 2nd cousin Cy. I think Mj ate all her candy by time she got home! Empty basket before....and after!





Easter Morning. I forgot to color eggs and did not remember this until 2:30am in the morning on Easter. I almost started dyeing eggs at 3am in the morning until My Man reminded me that would be "Crazy".





How she used her new Easter candy....I did the same with my sister. Used the candy as lipstick instead of eating it....lol.

Swimming and Easter Dresses!

We have been telling Mj for the past Four weeks that we would take her swimming. It seems like every time we plan to go something would come up or she would lose it by the end of the week from having a bad day. Well so My Man and I decided that Mj would NEVER be able to go swimming if we based on her having a so called good day...lol. She is my little monster. We began to feel horriable that we had promised this to her since January and still had not taken her so we pinkie swore to her that we would take her .....I was so tempted that day to TAKE swimming away from her after she was pretty much a raving monster for three days straight ....but no I just took a deep breath and got her ready. She had a blast and so did My man and I watching MJ giggle and laugh. Bo even got to go SWIMMING. He had fun until his lips were blue from the being in and out of the water.



I always buy a Easter Dress every year for Easter its a Tradition that my mother did for all of us kids as we grew up. I still got a church dress up until I got married...lol. I think it a good way for you to remember what Easter is all about, the gospel and going to church to remember all that the Savior has done for us. Here are the first set of pictures after the first time wearing the Easter outfits to church....notice the way they start and how they slowly become very ...whats the word....frustrated ...at the end....lol.

Finally....I just needed one....lol!

My Funny Valentines

f

Baby Hands....Too cute!

Mj with her daddy doing the Friday night sleepovers in any place in the house.....I was a one point really afraid that I might be sleeping in the Kitchen .....not funny....she finally decided to sleep in the theatre room!

Love is all around us!

Boise State Won....now what?

So many of you may know that My Man is an avid BSU fan.....I mean he wears and watches everything that is Boise State Football related. Sometimes even starving his family of attention during the season. It is because of this I am compelled to post something about them going to a Bowl game this year .....And yes they won! We can all sleep easier knowing that but mostly My Man is as happy as a school boy. Cheeks rosy and everything.
Here is the post I wanted to share....Now this is one of the best parts for me about the game and I have to say is one of the funniest things I have seen in a while.....plus it catches My Mans wonderful contagous laugh. I think we watched it at least 10 times by the time the game ended.

Why do you love me so much?

This is Christmas Eve at the traditional Christensen Christmas Party. Mj was sooooo cute this year with the whole Santa thing. She sat up on his lap and looked into his eyes....her eyes wide and glistening (no joke) ...she spoke softly..."why do you love me so much? Just after that she hugged him. I had to check to see if I was tearing up because my heart swelled three times in size.

I wish that I would have gotten her saying that magical phrase...."Why do you love me so much?" But here is just after that ....look how she just stared at him.....she is nothing like I was ....I think I screamed everytime my mother sat me on his lap up until I was at least 5 or 6.

Christmas Morning at the Riley's House.

Notice that Darren and I are not in any of the Pictures....first off Christmas Morning with Children in the house is all about them and their pure excitment. Parents on the other hand are extremly tired from staying up late and are not looking their best....lol. I looked like someone hit me with a sleigh. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!
