Weekend Update

Last week we got to go to the trampoline park again with Kelsey and Rylee who were in town from Colorado.
Pretty much all my pictures are blurry because they wouldn't hold still!

Kelsey can still do a back flip!! I was so impressed!



That night I went out with my girls Cristi, Jeanette, and Kelsey.  Good food, lots of fun!

I've been wanting to go up in the mountains ever since the leaves started to change but haven't had the time.  Finally on Saturday we went up to Fernwood for a little walk.  It was gorgeous and Bear loved it too!

Soccer, Soccer, and More Soccer

Our Saturdays have been filled with soccer games over the last month or two.  We have 6 games each Saturday and we try to get to as many of them as we can.
Here's Tink (#7) kicking the ball.  She is a really good little player and this is her first year she's every played.

Me and Bear.  I'm not sure why he was wearing his pajama shirt that day.


He loves getting to go play with his cousins.


He's been having so much fun at the park too.

From this point on, the pictures get pretty bad because my camera stopped zooming in!  The kids look like little dots on the field :(
This is Reagan's game.  She's on the far right.  Bear is a really good cheerleader- he yelled for Reagie the whole time!

Ethan and Alex's game.  You can see E pretty easily, Ali is 2 people behind him (diagonally) and looking the away from us.

Half time for their game.

Liv's game.  She's in the center with the fluorescent green socks.

Nick as goalie.

Pops playing with Reags, Bear, and Tink.

A little better picture of Nick.  (Left of the middle, blue jersey)

Reagan always plays with Bear on the big toy and helps him so he doesn't fall!  Such a sweet girl!

Our Week

We went to play at Shelley's house the other day (and protect her from some creeper HVAC guys!) and Bear just didn't want to leave.  He loves his auntie!



We went to Target and Bear was super helpful by carrying our basket!

This night he was eating dinner and playing with Jill.  He was clearly having a great time with her!

Neil took Max out shooting.  Max really liked it but they went on freezing day!!


Barrett kind of got the hang of driving the Power Wheels at Grandma and Papa's.  Henry was so cute to help him steer so he didn't crash!


Anytime there's a nice day, we all get outside as much as we can!



Playing with the marbles.

Bear asked Stefanie to read him a story the other night before he went to bed.  He was so glad she was in town!

Dane built this awesome Hobbit Lego set with some very creepy spiders!

Grandma CC with the Christensen kiddies

Alex had to get surgery on a hernia that he's had forever.
He made this little surgery buddy and gave him 2 faces like Professor Quirrell from Harry Potter 1.

Lastly, Bear got sick and it was awful.  He's had a cold forever but he started throwing up and just felt really miserable.  It was sad but I didn't mind getting extra snuggles from him!

Masquerade

Last week my friend Courtney turned 30.  Her sweet hubby Joe organized a surprise party for her with a masquerade theme.  He even got her a Victorian style (or something like that) dress for her to change into when she arrived.  The rest of us didn't have anything like that on hand, so we just wore regular dresses. 
This was her when she first opened her eyes.  She was definitely surprised!



My hot date.

Four of my favorite girls.  It was just so great to be able to see these girls AND their awesome husbands too!

Berrie and Jill's Birthday

It was my sisters' birthday on Monday.  I'm not going to tell you how old they turned because they're sensitive about it ;)
We had a great (as usual) party on Sunday for them.

And on Monday, us girls (and Barrett, of course) went out to lunch at Zupas.  Bear enjoyed eating everyone's strawberries.

Fall Family Party

Shelley invited us over on Friday for a fall family party.
Jill made some witches brew.

And we dipped apples in caramel and then topped them with lots of different toppings.
YUM!




The kids just ran wild and had fun playing together.

They even played outside even though it was SUPER cold!
