Another camping adventure!

We went camping again last weekend. We found this really cool camping spot just past Kelly Canyon. It was really fun. The kids love it. As you can see they don't have a problem with getting dirty. Hailey's favorite part of camping is the hiking (which is a short walk around our campground). Conrad loves bugs right now so, he is always looking for new ones. Jackson loves anything he can put in his mouth and just loves being outside. They can't wait to go again. We'll just have to see when we go again. As fun as it is, it is TONS of work.

Here we are. Well, most of us Kendra and Kris came but left before a camera was there. Sam, Alisa and I weren't in this picture.

This is a picture of Alisa (Trent's wife) and their daughter Lucy. Jack was watching.

This is Barry and his wife Sam. Thanks for the pictures Sam :)

Conrad, VERY DIRTY. You should have seen the tub after their baths.

And a very dirty Hailey.

Con's 3 year pics and Jack's 1 year

Conrad and Jackson just got their yearly pictures taken. Con is 3 and Jack is 1. I think they turned out pretty cute! Thank you, thank you, thank you Kendra! It wasn't easy to get pics of Con smiling, but you did it. We love them!

Christensen Family Reunion

We went camping just past Kelly Canyon for a family reunion last week. The weather was great the first couple of days and then we had to end a day early because of rain. (Imagine that) It was a lot of fun to just hanging out. Bryce and Amie planned it this year, and they made a very yummy welcome dinner for us. Thanks guys. Also thanks for the pictures. It makes blogging more fun.

Bo had a lot of fun chopping wood. Bryce had fun hauling down wood with the motorbikes. Thanks for keeping us warm guys.

Here are some random picutres

Conrad and his cousins had a blast riding their bikes VERY fast down the hill. Hailey and the girls loved going on little hikes. They were able to make some hats that my mom brought. Conrad missed out on the hat making because he slept in until 10:45 Friday morning. It must have been all the riding and climbing.

Of course, the guys went motorbiking for a few hours. It looked like they had fun. It was a little crazy with the kids while they were gone, but nothing us women couldn't handle! :) Here are some pictures of Bo riding.

We were able to have my mom's sister Joyce and my cousin Jenna and her two kids come with us. It was fun spending time with them because we don't get to see them very often. Thanks to everybody that came and pitched in where and when it was needed.

Jack is 1!!!

Jackson turned 1 on June 18. I'm a little late posting, but things have been busy. We had a party with my parents, Trent, Kris and Kendra, and their kids. It was fun. I love 1st birthday parties. Jackson had fun. I think his favorite part was the cake. He really got into it. I think he pretty much ate most of his little bear.

As we were singing happy birthday, he thought he'd put the candle out with his hand. Yes, his hand. He had wax and everything on it. (I made the cake the night before, should have waited. It started falling apart.)

Once we gave him his cake he was okay. Here he is just getting started.

Here's the after.

Jackson has figured it out!!!

Jack has been learning to walk for about a month now. The past week he has become quite confident. I love this stage!!! Great job Jack! Happy Birthday tomorrow Jack!
