Christmas 2010

We had a "VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS" this year. We were visited by 2 active nephews and 2 adorable nieces and we all had a blast playing with them. We each received just what we had asked "Santa" for and we are happy and ready for a new year.

Team Myriad

Rob was in charge of "TEAM MYRIAD" for the Making Strides Against Breat Cancer walk. We all were able to take part and walk for a good cause. Team Myriad donated the highest amount to the walk and we are so proud of all your hard work Rob!!! We love you and can't wait to do it again next year!!!

Abby's 5th Grade Ukulele program

Abby's 5th Grade class held a Patriotic Ukulele program and they did an excellent job. Short and very sweet!!!!!

New York

Two weeks after Cancun, Rob & I went to New York for his Investors Meetings with Myriad. Neither of us have ever been so we stayed a few extra days and tried to see everything that New York is known for, but do you ever see ALL of New York? I doubt it. We walked for miles and miles and loved all the tall buildings, beautiful architecture, amazing Times Square stores, buggy ride through central park, World Trade Memorial construction site, Empire State building, Grand Central Station, and we got to see "WICKED". We loved New York and would love to go again in the summertime, but we are very happy we don't live there.

Cancun

For Christmas, Rob surprised me with tickets to CANCUN for Valentine's Day and finally you get to see some pictures from that trip. We enjoyed the warmth, good food, going on a Zip-line and riding in a CRAZY Shotover Jet boat!!!

Christiansen Christmas Party

We had the most unusual acting out of the "Birth of Jesus" story for Christmas. Everyone seemed to have a good time and it was hilarious to watch.

Geography Bee

Abby won the Geography Bee in her class so she was able to compete in the school Geography Bee. She was nervous and looked like she was going to faint but she survived and even though she didn't win we are SOOOO proud of her for trying her hardest. She now has one up on her brothers and parents, not one of us ever made it that far. CONGRATULATIONS ABBY!!!!!!

Fun Times in St. George

We love going to St. George and so here are some fun pictures of things we like to do.

New School Year 2009

Here they are!!! All three are off to new adventures!!! Justin started back up at Utah State and I forgot to take his picture so sorry for the blurry picture but it was taken from his cell phone. He is in a new apartment this year and is having fun.

Abby is now in 5th grade. She is excited to have Miss Lake as her teacher and a few friends in her class.

Casey, as you can tell, LOVES posing for pictures. Casey is going to Salt Lake Community College and he now knows that college is alot different than High School. "TOO MUCH HOMEWORK"

Why are all of our kids growing up but we don't seem to get older (or so we think)??

We are very proud of each of our kids. They are all AMAZING!!!!

More Wyoming fun times

Abby was able to spend a week in Wyoming playing with her cousins and helping her Aunt Catherine with her adorable twins. I arrived towards the end of the week to do the same and we were able to experience some fun ADVENTURES!!! Swimming, horseback riding, driving a tractor, fishing and of course HIKING. Thank you Justin and Catherine for always providing fun adventures!!!

4th of July in Wyoming

We attended our "Annual" mud volleyball tournament in Wyoming over the 4th of July. Our team didn't do as well as they wanted to but they were able to get good and dirty anyway. The next day we hiked up to "Intermitent Springs." One of Rob's ancestors discovered it and it was fun to see and climb up the the top of it. We always have fun in Wyoming and love our Wyoming family!!!

The Cutest Twins EVER!!!

Rob's sister Catherine trusted us with her twins for 6 days while they went to Disneyland and we LOVED it. I won't say it was the easiest thing to do but we had so much fun with Cara & Caylin that now we miss them terribly!!!

Happy "23" Birthday Justin

We celebrated Justin's birthday a few days early and as you can see he had alot of friends and family here celebrating with him. I can't believe that he is 23. We are sooo lucky to have Justin in our family. He is an awesome big brother and is a great example to us all. We love you Justin!!!!

Merry Christmas 2008

Once again we all had a VERY good Christmas. Santa Claus was awesome!!! Abby lost a tooth on Christmas Eve and she was sure that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy would visit on the same night but we kept telling her not to count on it. Well, what do you know, they both pulled through. We have been enjoying the time off of work, and school. We are enjoying each other, & our friends and don't want it to end. We are ready with our UTE gear to cheer them on next week and we are loving the snow!!! Have a Happy New Year!

Ice Skating with Cousins

 
 
 
 

My brother and his family were in town for a few days before Thanksgiving so Abby was able to go Ice Skating with her cousins and uncle. She has been one other time with her cousin Maddie and she has really enjoyed it. Instead of asking to go bowling all the time she is now asking when she can go ice scating again. I guess we will have to go again real soon!!!
