DRIVE IN

Last night we decided last minute to go to the Drive In Theater. I know you all may be surprised that the Drive In is still open in October, but it is and we watched Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda.
I have to admit that I had high expectations of these two films, but they were still good. One reason we wanted to go was to see how Drezden would do at the Drive In, and surprisingly she did well. Although, when the first flick was over she was ready for bed and she was a little grumpy. We were going to leave, but after Phil had put her in the car seat and the baby in his she ended up falling asleep and Phil talked me into staying for the second.
I really enjoy doing things all together and it was a nice experience to take both kiddos to the movies.

Make Me Babies

Haha... I saw this on someones blog and I thought I had to do it myself and see... So, I uploaded a photo of Phil and myself to see what the results would be and here they are... One baby girl and one baby boy. Well, at least with the boy they have the hair color right ;)

I will have to save these and compare them to my kids when they get a little older.

I miss her...

So, this last week Phil, Drezden, Sullivan, and I have all been sick. Drezden was the better of us all and to help me out a little Phil's parents took Drezden for the week. So, she has been gone since Saturday and I miss her. I almost don't know what to do with myself. If it wasn't for Sullivan I would probably drive out to get her even though I am still sick.

Phil took this picture of Drezden right before he went to the UK. It was taken on about August 23? I think she is so cute and she just has so much personality.


She is just one of my favorite people in the whole world and I love her to death! She really helps make my life exciting. It is exciting to watch her grow, and sad too. I want to enjoy every moment with her.

Photos Like I Promised

Sullivan Paul
I can't believe he is already a month old. Time sure does fly by. Drezden has been a great big sister and is adjusting better than I thought she would. We love Drezden and Sullivan so much and only wish and hope for the best. Here are a few photos of Sullivan including a couple with his big sister!

He's here!!!

Sullivan Paul Christensen was born August 11 at around 10 pm. He weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 21in long. He weighed the same as Drezden when she was born and was half an inch longer than her too.
The labor and delivery went well. I ended up going into the hospital to be induced. I arrived at the hospital at 6am. I went in and it took a while before they could find a good vein to get the IVs started. I elected to get an induction because I had the strep B bacteria again and I wanted to have enough time to get enough of the penicillin before the baby came. Well, I had plenty of time... haha. Anyways, It took a bit longer than I had expected. The baby just wasn't ready to come... I wouldn't say that I was in labor for 18 hours(maybe more like a few),but I was there for a total of 18 hours before the baby came. The pitosin didn't work like I thought it would, I was expecting it to put me in labor right away, but no luck. I was fine though, just bored.
Anyway, Sullivan is doing great. He is almost 3 weeks old now. Time goes by so fast. Drezden has been adjusting well. She is away with grandma right now and Phil is in the UK away on business, so it is me and Sullivan right now. Although I have had someone with me almost every day since Phil has been gone.
I will post pictures of Sullivan in a different post!

Primary!

Today in Primary our class gave the sharing time and we did our presentation on The Armour of God. I think it turned out pretty well. Hopefully maybe next time we will be better prepared and we will have to think of some new and fun ideas.

I guess we need an update!

Time sure does fly by! It seems like it hasn't been too long since we last posted a blog, but I guess it has been a whole month already. In the last month we really haven't done too much. We did get to see some old friends of Phil's a couple weeks ago and that was really nice. Phil really has made some good friends from his childhood days and it is nice to know that he still keeps in touch with them. I think I only keep in touch with a couple of people I went to high school with. It is nice to run into people here and there every once in a while to see what people have been doing with their lives. Sometimes I look at our life together and I am sometimes amazed at how far we have come. Although other times I wonder where I would be if I didn't make some of the choices that I have made.
I am glad that I have the life and the family that I do. I guess sometimes you really don't appreciate what you have until you look at other people (which I know you are not suppose to compare yourselves with others) and are happy that you have the life you do and not theirs.
Well, there are only 3 weeks left until we are expecting our little boy to come into the world. I hope Drezden can adjust well. Phil hopes that I will be able to adjust well. I know it will take a little while before I have things down. It wasn't easy with Drezden at first, but as time has gone by we have learned how to work with each other.
Well, if you don't hear from us before the new baby expect a post after the baby. We will definitely post pics. I know not all babies are cute when they are first born but I will post pics anyway!

Grass Finally!

Well, I am not sure how many of you actually knew we didn't have grass in our backyard... but anyways, now we do! Yesterday we laid sod for instant grass and pretty soon we are going to be able to enjoy it. I really wanted grass in the backyard because sometimes it is just inconvenient to walk to the park. Especially when I feel like I have to pee every 10 minutes. I hope to be able to get a little play yard in the back too, when the sod takes root so that Drezden can enjoy the backyard to the fullest. She is after all the main reason(not the whole reason though)I wanted grass in the first place.

June 12, 2008

Not too much has happened since I posted my last blog... Although Drezden had a little incident earlier this evening. I decided it was time for Phil to get a haircut so we all were outside and while I was giving Phil the haircut Drezden was playing on the steps and was playing with the hose and she fell face first on the ground. Because she had the hose in her mouth she cut her tongue and was bleeding quite a bit. She turned out to be just fine. It is crazy how easily little ones can get hurt... She is a tough girl and we love her so much.

Just felt like I should post something

Well, I guess it hasn't been too long since I last posted... but sometimes it feels like forever. For Father's Day Phil got DDR. I am excited to have it too. Although being almost 8 months pregnant is not really ideal for playing the game (especially since jumping is required). Drezden loves to play too. She will get on the dance pad and just start imitating Phil. It is really cute.
So, this week we have the opportunity to do something with Phils family. I am not sure what our plans are going to be. We really want to get things done around the house before the baby comes. Sometimes I can't believe I am pregnant again and so soon after Drezden. She is only 13 months old and I am due in August. *Yikes... So because of this I really want to get the house in order so that I can feel a little more at peace before having two little ones. I know it will be nice to have them both in our lives, but sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed with the idea that it is going to happen sooner than later.
I think of other pregnant women who are just so excited about having their babies or who are just simply tired of being pregnant and want to be done, but I am not ready... Even though I have been having a lot of backache with this pregnancy I am not ready to be done. It is so much easier to take care of the baby and Drezden while it is inside of me.
So, we watched The Bucket List earlier this evening. I thought it was a cute movie, although I can see why it didn't get the best reviews. I thought the story was good and I loved both of the main actors. I would recommend this movie to everyone at least once. It is not one of those movies you would want to watch over and over again, but it is one that I think most people would enjoy at least once.
Well, I guess I am going to be done for now. I have probably written enough for tonight. Well, you all have a wonderful week!
