Christensen Sibling Reunion 2010

Todd and I had a great weekend together in the fall at my sibling reunion. It was at my sister Suzy's house in St George, Utah. It was so nice to get away and reunite with family.

An admission . . . .

We got home from Church today and Christen said," Hey mom - remember when I broke my arm last year? Well, I didnt fall off my scooter, I fell out of the front tree."

Woah!! Really??!! I was shocked! Not that it really matters and she did tell me - but it would have been nice to tell the Dr at the time what had happened for real. I had to laugh! I asked her what her Primary lesson was about -- Honesty maybe? Repentance? She wouldnt tell me. I told her she may have to go to the Bishop for that one - but then we just laughed. Even her brothers were suprised. Todd didnt say much - he came home with a migraine.

Its funny because sometimes when I get together with my family my brothers and sister will come up with stories that they never admitted to at the time. I was way younger and didnt share those stories but it made me glad that Christen told me now. Hmmm.... I wonder though how many other stories will come out in 20 + years when we sit around the kitchen table at a reunion!

Makin' $$$$


Christen has had several lemonade - cookie stands this summer. She is so cute and does the whole thing on her own. This time she and her friend Mia went in together. They made $10 together.

Extracurricular activities

Trevor and Carson - running buddies
Trevor has had a great season so far in cross country and he has met all of his personal goals. He has many friends on the team and that makes it fun - and competitive!

This was the ASC fun Run / Pancake Breakfast. Todd and I helped with the pancakes while Trevor was busy running the race and beating everyone kids and adults!! His past cross country coach was sad that he changed schools!



Brandon just marched in his first High School football game!! It was awesome! He and the whole band have worked SO HARD and it was nice for them to see their efforts paying off. I cant believe how grown up he is!! Speaking of that - he just hit the 6 ft mark!! He had a lot of fun and they did a great job. If you care - in the field pic he is on the rt hand side 35ydline 5th from the front! LOL.
They played Todd's high school, Doherty and beat them 27-0! He was suprised to see them in blue and not green. Are schools allowed to change colors? lol At least they are still the Spartans.
