Thanksgiving with the Christensen Clan

Cousin Logan and Ally shooting some hoops......

I apologize I have not updated our blog for so long. But here are some recent pictures. We spent Thanksgiving Day with Cody's family. We went to the Marriott for Thanksgiving Dinner. Talk about delicious food. Then we headed to Blayne and Pat's house to spend some time with the family. It was really nice. Ally and Logan played basketball together for awhile. Logan is so good with Ally. It was great to see her play with him. She warmed up to the family, which was really nice. She usually freaks out... I made a Thanksgiving turkey and potatoes for our little family the next day. Yummmm. I love making turkey and having left-over turkey sandwiches.

I did get a chance to have Kiddie Kandid pictures of Ally. They turned out great, even though she was crazy most of the time. We really haven't been up to a lot. We finally got our Master bathroom completed. It looks great. I am so pleased. Now I just have to get up the Christmas decorations up and the house and stuff ready for family. Yippee for me. I will try to do a better job of updating our blog.

Blackmail.....Lisa, Mark Ferrell's Girlfriend

We have been having so much fun lately. One of Cody's best friends from childhood Mark Ferrell and his family came over for the UFC fight last weekend. I had to get a picture of Lisa (Mark's girlfriend) covered in our Utes blanket. They are BYU fans and it is just funny. They brought their two darling boys. Manny who is almost 4 years old and Brody their newest edition. He is about 4-5 months old. Kramer is absolutely in love with him. He loves babies and is really good with them. He was watching over Brody as you can see and I had to get a picture.

Bret and Caleen and their family came into town from Dallas, TX. We took the opportunity to take family pictures while they were in town. So here are the Christensen Clan. All the families. Brothers, Sister, Cousins and of course Blayne and Pat.

Loveless Family Reunion.....

This past weekend Cody's mom's side of the family held a family reunion. Here are some fun pictures. The first one at the top is Ally giving kisses to Grandma. She loves to kiss Grandma Pat, it is so funny. The next one is of Aunt Kellie holding Ally. Yes I have proof! I was so happy she is FINALLY warming up to Kellie. I feel so bad when Ally cries when Kellie or Brittany come close and want to play or hug her. So now I have proof that she was having fun walking around with Kellie. the next one is Grandpa Blayne with the two youngest grand children, Boston and Ally. And yes it is embarrassing to admit but I assume all kids go through it. Ally has found her nostrils. I think she is fascinated by the two holes she has just discovered on her face. She really hasn't started the "picking" yet but she'll shove her finger up her nose and just hang out. It is hard not to laugh. Then she got in the pool with her Uncle Dave and Cousin Talbie, she loves the water. The next one is Emmie, her cousin giving her a ride on the little kiddie train. She really likes it. And Dallin is waiting for his turn. So I hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.

Ally Riding her new quad...................

Ally's New Quad and Little Mermaid car


When we were in California with my brother he had a quad for Liam and I posted a picture of Ally riding it. She had so much fun and learned how to ride it the first time she got on it. Well Cody and I were and are so proud of her that we had to buy her one. We found her a little Barbie one. Ally is such a fast learner, her pediatrician told us she very advanced for her age, she only has to try something once and she is like a little pro. Yes, I am bragging, but I don't care, it is true. She loves her new toys and Cody and I love to just watch her figure things out. Any-who enjoy the video.

Happy Father's Day....Sweetheart, we love you

Daddy's Big helper...................................

Cody's Father's Day Card..... the front.................

............And the inside...How funny is that and so true

The Full Soprano's Collection on DVD and Artie Lang's CD

This Father's day was low key. We went to Brick Oven with Cody's family for Blayne's Father's Day and Sunday we went to the Gateway to do a little shopping and had lunch at Cody's favorite restaurant, California Pizza Kitchen. I had to share the card that Ally and I picked out for Cody. I thought it was fricken' hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing in the store. I am all about the funny sarcastic cards. So family beware. He He He. Ally and the boys are so lucky to have Cody for a father. And of course I feel like the luckiest woman in the world, he is my best friend and a wonderful husband. We love you daddy......

Ally is obsessed with talking on the phone...she uses a real

phone to the garden hose as a phone. It is the funniest thing

Our family went on a family vacation to California to see my brother and his family again this summer. We had such a blast, we went to the San Diego Fair which was huge. Great food or I should say fried food. It was just Alex and Dannica and Cody and I and Liam and Ally. We spent all day trying to check everything out. Ally and Liam had a ball looking at all the animals and eating yummy treats. We also went to Sea world, which happened to be Cody and my and Ally's first time. The weather for both events was perfect. It was close to the beach so we got the nice breeze. I think Ally's favorite thing at Sea world was the Shamu show. She loved all the fish and the whales and sharks. There wasn't enough time in the day to see everything, but we tried to see as much as possible. Thank you Alexander and Dannica for your hospitality and for showing us such a wonderful time. We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again. Ally had so much fun with all the kids and their two dogs, Lex and Mo. Thank you again. We love you guys

Talk about Bed-Head... The girls in the morning

This past week we had a little visitor, Austin... Skye's daughter come stay with us for a couple of days. The girls got a long great, it was so fun to have her here.

Saturday we went to BrickOven for lunch for Pat's Mother's day. It Kellie made Pat a quilt with all the grand kids' hand prints on it. It turned out really nice. Then we went over to Blayne and Pat's house and Ally got a chance to play a little more with the cousins. She had a ball outside. She loves to share her treats with Kramer and Newman and Brinkley made a new friend, because Ally shared all of her treats with him. She loves dogs and really took a liking to Brinkley.

I just want to say for the record, that I am the luckiest mother. I have such a wonderful family with Kramer and Newman and Ally and Cody, And of course extended family. I hope that all of you have a wonderful Mother's day.

Finally the sun comes out....and we play.....

Ummm.. Perfect fit..MTV Cribs Checkout the fridge.. It comes with a baby....Who-Knew.......................

Well this past week had been an eventful one. We turned in our old Infiniti and got a bigger one, because I need a little bit more room. We love it, it is so fun to drive and our whole family i.e. the boys and us can ride together and it is not too big. We have also been trying to take advantage of the sunny warm days. Ally loves the out doors and tries to go out whenever she can. Ally loves to read books, so she and Daddy sat together for a little while reading their books. It is not often you catch Cody with a book so I had to get a picture. Cody and I caught Ally in the fridge the other day, it was such a funny sight to us that I had to post the evidence.

This Easter Cody, Ally and I went down to Blayne and Pat's house for an Easter Egg hunt and pizza Saturday. Ally had her own Easter basket and she won some neat toys. It was great to see everyone. Brittany and baby Boston were able to make it, along with the boys and Jared. It was so nice to see the baby. He is such a doll.

Easter morning came and Cody had all of Ally's treats and toys all spread out for Ally to play with. I couldn't tell who was more excited, Cody or Ally. We did have a little Easter Egg hunt for her too which was fun. We also dyed eggs, well I did and Ally watched. Cody and I have always wanted to do fun things like that for holidays and now we have a great excuse to act like kids again. It is nice to be able to start family traditions with Ally and Kramer and Newman. The boys weren't left out...they got little white chocolate Easter Bunnies and played with Ally's toys.
