Team Christensen: August 2010

Grandparents weekend and Bear Lake

Monday, August 23, 2010 by Team C

Grandma and Grandpa Christensen decided to come down and check out Herriman. We went to the reservoir

Had yummy waffles

Oh, more reservoir, that fist bump was for swimming across the reservoir with McKenna

Lindsey and Ginger laying out like Divas, eating grapes

Paityn loves the sand

A little Trampoline action

Why do they always want to play after their hair is done and we're on our way to church?

Wades family had some property up in Bear Lake so, we went to visit and go to the Lake.

Brett the muscle man, love the shell speedo.

Paityn the Mermaid

The beautiful lake behind us. It really is that turquoise up close, and so clear you can see the bottom in the shallows.

We stopped at the Logan temple on the way up. So beautiful!

Holy Flower! Not really holy, but it could be because it was in front of the temple.

The kids try at picture taking. Anybody want to check out Bretts photography blog it's: brett photos@need some more practice.com. he he.

1st day of school, and kids pics

by Team C

We start school here a little early. Brett is in year round. We found out he was the day before he was supposed to start. Ya, not. Not excited to have our summer cut short, but he was in for 2 weeks and then out for 3, so I guess I can't complain.

The No trespassing sign was cropped out of course.!!

We had the best 4th, we've had in a long time.All of our family was there on both sides. Luckily Rick brought his blow up slide!! The kids played for hours

The kids snarfling down their candy

Our Beautiful Lindz in the parade.

I think she had a good time. I didn't get video, I'm so mad. By the time I figured it out, they were half way down the street.

The kids got so much candy it was crazy. They filled their bags almost half way full!

Not going to let a piece go !

Grandma, Nana, and Grandma VeeDaun

Everyone, just waiting

We came home from Lagoon, and turned around the very next week to help Nana/Papa move and Rick/Em move. Lot's a work but it is so good to have Mom and Dad on our side of the country again! We went home, and packed ourselves up. We decided all in one week to find a house, got approved, packed up and moved. We decided on Monday and were packed and moved into our new house in Herriman by Friday night. It was a very physical 2 weeks!! Thanx to my parents and Rick and Em helping us get here. We went back the next day to Richfield for the 4th of July with Wade's family, and mine, then home on Tuesday. Wednesday, I unpacked, packed suitcases and we left for Montana on Thursday. Talk about a whirlwind!!!

Start of Summer/ Lagoon

by Team C

June 7. We drove up to Lehi and got Brett's cast off just in time for LAGOON! Yahoo!!
P

Paity on the Animal train.

Aw, cute!

Brett wanted to go it alone. Hopefully he didn't spit on anyone!

The Ferris Wheel was great! I do not like heights, but loved the view

They are nuts! I could never go on that! They love it though!

The water was a little cold.

We went to the Water Park afterwards, and then the Rattlesnake Rapids, and got soaked! Awesome way to start off the summer!

He looks a little to big to be riding in that car!

Explaining the rules "No one goes off alone".......

Luckily we went to the water park. Brett got his cast off, and his arm was NASTY!! So, we didn't have to work on getting all that dead yucky skin off, the water did it for us. EW!! Sorry for those people who have to swim in that water. You never know what's in the Lazy River. hehehe

Memorial Day Weekend

by Team C

We hit Boondocks on Monday with cousins. We were there for 8 hours, then I drove home! Talk about exhausted. Luckily Lindsey rode up front to keep me awake!! Ya right, she made it about 5 minutes, then knocked out!!

Girls!

Kayla's hole in one!

Just a little wet from the bumper boats

Aw, Lindsey showing her mother some love, or .... ya she's trying to get me wet!

INside the play house. Paity lasted about 5 min. She wanted to be outside with the big kids!

What a nice cousin to take Paity on a ride

Ginger is screaming before they even get out of the gate. That should give us a hint about Lindsey's driving! Only 3 more years, and she's legal!

Wade's hole in one!

A little difficult with a caste, but he persevered!

Brett's hole in one!

Capture the Flag

Ginger and Jerzee rollin around

Cute drawings girls!!

A MADD game of Four square was going on. The neighbor kids even came over to join in.

Sorry kids. Wade and Uncle McKay have skills! Maybe that's because they changed the rules everytime they were in the leader box.

Oh my goodness, me again. Awesome lunch at Toucanos.

BEES GAME

So awesome!! We had a guy in front of us that when the other team was warming up below us (We were at 3rd base) He would go Bewoop everytime the pitcher pitched it, and then Bewoop every time he threw it back. Doesn't make sense telling it, but it sounded just like a cartoon. So funny. By the end of the night the whole crowd was doing it!!

Brett was so ready for a foul ball.

Cheese!! Brett got a ball by the end of the night. He stood right by the other team and asked them everytime they came out to practice. Some guy yelled, "give it to the poor kid, he's got a broken arm" so they did. He worked it!! Then we walked away with about 15 loaves of Grandma Sycamores bread that they gave away at the end of the game.
