Thank You

I am thankful for the health of my family and the love and understanding of each other that only WE have ... Im thankful for moments of closeness, and dorkieness. Im thankful for the amazing fight my daughter has in her eyes, and for her bizarre imagination! Im thankful for my little boy and how I can see so much of his father in him. Im thankful for The Red White and Blue and for my faith. I'm thankful for not having inlaws like "Ray Barone." I'm thankful for the wonderful man I share my life with, without him I wouldnt be the person I am, thank you for standing by me when Im strong and holding me when I can't take it anymore.

Remember -- Each day is a gift not a given right, anything worth the prize is worth the fight, and it's okay to fall as long as you don't stay down.. that first step is always the longest stride.

Lilly

A daughter is a miracle that never ceases to be miraculous.
Full of beauty, and forever beautiful.
Loving, caring, and truly amazing.

Take me fishing Daddy!

So today 7/10/09 we took Lilly to get a fishing license and buy a shinny pink fishing pole and tackle box! Then we took her fishing at Razor Ridge. We didn't have any luck catching fish! but we still had a lot of fun and we will try again, maybe on the mountain where it is cooler :) GOOD JOB LILLY!

Bath Time!

Since Jace's cord had a little bit of trouble after it fell off he didn't get to enjoy his first tub bath until 7/10/09. Almost 4 weeks old! But don't worry he had plenty of sponge baths in that time. He did really well and at first, since he was asleep, he didn't even wake up when I put him in the water ... He really liked it a lot more than I thought he would since he HATES sponge baths lol. Here are a few shots =)

Follow up appointment 4 days old =)

At Jace's follow up appointment he was 7 pounds no ounces and 19 3/4 inches
LOL the Doctor told us that the reason why he is shorter is because he probably had a bit of a cone head at birth. HE DID GREAT! Here is a picture = )

Protective Big Sissy

So just a few days after bringing little Jace home, Jeff was trying to get
him to burp by patting him on the back. When Lilly saw this she screamed out
"Dad! don't spank MY baby brother!" it was so adorable, and makes me know that
she is okay with us having him, since I have been so worried that she will feel neglected. Jace has even felt secure enough with her, to fall asleep in her arms.
I think that says a lot about their bond. I love my kids :)

First sponge bath at home! 3 days old =)

Jeff's 27th Birthday!

6/17/09 Today my husband turned 27, we celebrated at home with his Mom and his Grandmother and Grandfather. We had home made carrot cake (his favorite)and of course gave him our gifts! Lilly helped him blow out his candles too! You deserve so much more than we were able to give this year sweet heart WE LOVE YOU!



Jace 2 Days Old!

Welcome Jace Isaac Christensen!

June 15th 2009 4:04 PM 7 pounds 5 ounces 20 inches.

He is here our sweet little boy! I know I'm just a
little bit late with this HAHAHA! But I have had quite
a time adjusting to having 2 kids, turns out 2 is a lot
more than just one haha!

Well let me tell you about Jace or King Jace, he is called
that often around here lol! He is a wonderful baby, he loves
to be cuddled, wakes up about twice a night, and just adores
his big sister Lilly he even fell asleep in her arms the other
day. =) He is quite possibly the growliest gruntiest little baby
he loves to stretch and fart more than any one I know lol.
Most importantly he is very happy, healthy, and loved.
