Busy Summer and Loving It!

Night Out in Salt Lake...

For our bday's Mindy and Dave gave Ben and I tickets to Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum at the USANA Ampitheatre! It was so much fun! We got to relax on a blanket and listen to great music at the beginning. Then when Tim came out we danced and sang our hearts out. It was a much needed night out with my handsome hubby!

Cousin Fun

This summer we have had a lot of visitors, and we love it!

Summer Review

Boys being boys...

Ben took the boys to Lowe's for their Build and Grow Saturday...such a fun thing to do! They made monster trucks and LOVED spending that time with Dad!

Whenever it rains, these two beg to go play in it...

Grandpa Gene's Funeral

Ben's grandpa passed away unexpectantly. Ben was able to go out to Bountiful and say goodbye, which we are grateful for. He was such an amazing man, he will truly be missed. The funeral services were very touching. Ben's sister sang a beautiful song and his dad gave a wonderful, spiritual talk. Ben felt very honored to be a pallbearer.

Swim Lessons

Mason loves swimming and is getting quite independent in the pool. He took lessons this summer for two weeks.

Summer Review

Damn Yankees

Ben performed in the Outlaw Trail production this summer. He had a fun part where he got to sing, dance and be a goofy baseball player. It was a long 10 weeks with rehearsals and performances 5 out of the 7 nights, but he enjoyed it and did a really great job. Mason really liked watching daddy, he came with me twice to see the play.

Mason Turns 5

Mason had a really fun birthday party. We had friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas come over for a water party in our backyard. My boys LOVE putting a sprinkler under the trampoline. We ate pizza, had spiderman cupcakes, broke open a pinata and even Ben got in the water fun. He had his swimsuit on (so basically he was asking for it), his sister kept his attention as I came up behind him with a pitcher of water. Oh, but don't feel sorry for him. He of course got me back. Mason got some fun presents including: an iron man, a cars race track, some coloring books, a nintendo DS and a DS game.

Christina's Wedding

Christina and Joe were married June 4th in the Vernal temple. They had a luncheon that afternoon and the reception was that evening. A busy but fun day full of family and friends.

Summer Review

Killer Bees Soccer Team

Mason played soccer this spring for the first time. He was on a younger/smaller team so the score was generally 10-0 (his team being the 0), but he had such a blast. His team scored 3 goals total out of all the games, and Mason scored 2 out of those 3. He got so into the games, he was so much fun to watch.

Preschool

Mason absolutely LOVED preschool. He would wake up every morning and ask if he got to go to school that day. He had great teachers. I loved picking him up from school and listening to him talk on and on about what they did that day. He is so excited and ready for Kindergarden. He is such a smart little guy and loves to learn new things.

Mink Creek, Idaho

Over Memorial Day we went up to Mink Creek for the weekend. This is where my grandma lives and where my dad grew up. My parents were here for the Christensen family reunion so many of my siblings were able to come and visit also. It was fun to play at the park, swim at the hotel and play games (we would all cram into one hotel room and play games all night long).
