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!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 
 
 
 

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!!!!!!

The Harrison Snowmen

 

Abby and her favorite person in the world, built a cute snowman and Abby was in heaven!!!

 

Just can't resist taking more pictures of our FUN, CUTE 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.

Halloween

My sweet little girl dressed up as a "Salsa Girl" (which I forgot to take a picture) for the Ward Party and then as "Dracula" for trick or treating. What happened to dressing as a princess? Is this what happens when girls grow older? I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

 

 

 

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!!!!

Motorcycle

 

Justin and Abby on one of their many evening rides. I always breath a little better when they return!!

Lake Powell - August 2009

Our first trip to Lake Powell in such a long time. We had a blast, weather was perfect, food was AWESOME, and we were able to take our good friends the Wren's with us which made it even more fun. Casey brought Cody & Justin brought Jason.

We can't wait until we get to go again next year.

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!!!

Casey's Prom, Seminary and School Graduation

Casey has been busy these past few months. He FINALLY went to his first & last dance. He had a GREAT time but he is happy that he doesn't have to do that again.

On May 30th, Casey graduated from Seminary, and then June 5th, he graduated from Woods Cross High School. What a great accomplishment!!! He realizes that nothing will ever be the same again and he isn't quite sure how he feel about that. Now the hard work begins, college and a job. We are VERY proud of you Casey and love you!!!!

Happy "10" Birthday Abby

We took Abby and a bunch of her friends to see "UP in 3D" and then back home to overstuff ourselves with all you can eat Ice Cream (compliments of Melyn & Farel Osmond's Ice Cream maker).

We love having Abby in our family! She mends us all together perfectly!!!

Field Trip

Abby's class went to the "This is The Place Heritage Park" and hiked to "Ensign Peak" all in one day for her field trip today. It was hot, exhausting, and loud on the bus, but really fun and cool to see how the Pioneers lived. Are we really ready for summer????
