Jaxon and Sage had their first official visit to the dentist yesterday. You’d think I was taking them to Disneyland with how excited they were.
It was fun hearing everyone call him doctor. I still can’t believe he’s actually a dentist. I just never thought the day would come!
We love our Doctor Dad!
During our fabulous 4th of July I had Jaxon get up and be part of the parade for our live list. I tried to get Sage up there too, but she was a bit more wary. I guess is wasn’t quite as exciting as I thought it might be. Maybe we’ll try this one again!
In other news, our Independence Day was spent in Idaho Falls with Jarom, Tara and baby Ava.
We covered all our bases.
Parade, check. Naps, check. Junk food, check. Fireworks, check.
This was Jake’s project while we were waiting for the fireworks to start
What a fantastic holiday!
So very many changes have been happening in life lately, here are the highlights.
First off, I’m adjusting to have an extra kid in the mix. She’s an angel though, and has made the change as effortless as it could possibly be. These two on the other hand have kept me just as busy as ever.
Jaxon graduated from preschool.
He absolutely loved preschool, and I feel so blessed to have been able to be a part of it as well.
I got to teach music with the kids once a week, and enjoyed seeing my sweet boy in his element. His teachers couldn't say enough about how smart he was. He must get it from his daddy.
Jake graduated!!!
What a wonderful and exciting change this is. The day we have been waiting for these past 4 years finally arrived! Jake graduated top 2 in his class with high honors, was given many awards of recognition, and looked as handsome as could be in those robes! :)
I’m so proud of him and all his hard work. Somehow he was able to do so well in school, and still spend every free moment with his family being an amazing father and husband. And I’m not even just saying that, it’s the truth! I’m not sure how I got so lucky to marry this amazing man, but you better bet I’m not letting him go.
Congratulations Dr. Jacob Christensen
And after all this excitement, we up and moved to Boise 2 days later.
To be continued….
Here are some pictures of my new little bundle of joy. I can’t believe she’s been part of our family for 3 weeks already! We love her so so much!
We had a barbeque on Memorial Day with all of the buddies from Jakes school. This was the last time I’ll see most of them, and I can’t tell you how sad that makes me.
We’ve been through a lot together the past 4 years, and it’s crazy to think that in a matter of weeks it’ll all be over.
We are all moving on to the next phase of our life and it’s taking us all over the country.
I’ve been inspired and amazed by these men and women, and feel blessed to be their friends.
Congratulations class of 2010!
It wasn’t until I was halfway through this day that I realized we were living off our list. I guess it helped that I was super sick and super pregnant, and that Jaxon decided to throw up all day. But if nothing else, we got to sit around in our p.j’s and watch all sorts of fun movies. Granted we took little breaks here and there. Sage did some cleaning,
Jaxon took a nap, 
and I tried to take pictures of my pajamas. 
That was an effort in and of itself. Did I mention I only have 3 weeks left? Ahhhh!
Oh, and when I finally did get the chance to leave the house, I had Sage get herself dressed and this is what she came up with. The only part I changed was the shoes. 
She’s so goofy. I love her to pieces!
Well, I’ve been reading Pioneer Woman’s blog for a long time now, and she’s taught me a lot. Most recently being how to make some amazing cinnamon toast. Who knew I’d been doing it wrong this whole time. Well, when I heard she was coming to my neck of the woods for a book signing, I was thrilled. I showed up hours early, with my cook book in hand, and waited for hours after just to have her sign it. Heidi came along for the fun, and fun it was! Her website is amazing, and I’ve yet to be let down with anything I’ve made from her cookbook. Here is a picture of my dad with 2 roasts I made for him, one of which was her recipe and it was good! It was his last meal before he headed off to Africa to be with Heather. He has since seen a white rhino, a pride of lions eating buffalo, and been charged by an elephant. WHAT? And here I think making him two roasts is special.
