Christensen Update

Hi everyone, I am new to this and going to try to post some pictures. Our family news: We had a wonderful summer and just wish we could freeze time and enjoy it like this forever, but our boys insist on growing up, learning, and developing new talents. We spent a week on the Southern California beaches with Bruce's family. It was so fun to just relax, play in the sun and sand, and try to learn boogie boarding. We also went to SeaWorld. Instead of going to Lagoon this summer, we spent a weekend in Tooele and Mom and Dad took us four-wheeling and target shooting. We found a great little spot near the Stansbury mountains to spend the afternoon in the shade of the Junipers, and we weren't bothered by a soul. We feasted on barbequed hamburgers, hot dogs, and zuchinnis (yum!) with pasta salad, and bacon(!) maple cookies. It was so fun! Now the boys are back in school. Joel in 8th grade with new braces and hearing aids. Todd has joined him in Middle School. He's in 6th grade and playing football with Magic Valley Junior Football. Kurtis is in 2nd grade and playing soccer, coached by his dad, Bruce. Kurt is also beginning to take Violin lessons! Will has started preschool and really likes it. I am enjoying the start of the new schoolyear and getting back into the swing of things with our cub scout pack. Kurt turns 8 next week and will be in our Pack! He will be baptized and confirmed Nov. 5th, and Todd will receive the Aaronic Priesthood the next day, Nov. 6. If any of you can come and share this special weekend with us, we'd love to have you.
