A few more pics

Just a few more pictures of the family...

Carly at 3 months old

Spencer was sick and kept saying he wasn't tired, and

that he just wanted popcorn. As soon as I popped it, he fell asleep.

Kyle has his own business card

I left the room for a minute, and Spencer decided to

"share" his toys with Carly. What a

good big brother.

Pioneer Day

We celebrated the 24th of July today with our stake. We went to a local park and played, ate free lunch, Spencer got cotton candy and a snow cone, etc. It was fun, there was probably around 200 people there. Kyle was in a 3 0n 3 basketball tournament with 2 of his friends, Seth and Tom. They did really good, in fact, they won the championship, out of about 12 teams. It was fun to go and watch them play. We all got a little sunburned, but it was a fun day. Here are a few pictures of it.

Kyle in their first game, he made this shot.

Spencer pulled this branch around for quite a while, then he told everyone how strong he was because he was pulling a "tree".

The champions: Kyle, Seth, and Tom

Surviving...

We're just hanging out here in Albuquerque, nothing too exciting, but wanted to update this thing and leave some pictures of our latest doings. Kyle survived his first week of work. So far, so good. And I survived my first week being home alone with the two maniac kids we have.

Carly has a spit/drool problem. We're trying to get her help,

but we hear it's incurable.

This is a picture of our lovely leak in our room. If you look closely, you

can see the water dripping from the ceiling...

This is the snail that Spencer brought into the house after a big rain

storm and put it on the desk while I was on the computer, I was a little surprised, and

screamed. Now he's afraid of them.... oops.

Spencer playing in the rain (the storm that caused the leak). See how much rain is in our pot?

And in our flower bed... it was crazy!

Minnie, Carly, and Spencer hanging out

(Minnie and the ball are from Disneyland)

Life at it's best.....

The past week has been relaxing and enjoyable. We had a fun 4th of July and we've tried to enjoy our last few days before I have to start the new job. We are excited to be starting a new chapter in our lives. Hopefully this chapter will go as well as the other chapters have been. I do start work on monday July 10th, and we get our first paycheck on July 21st. We now can pick up the tab for lunch and golf, just come down to Albuquerque to redeem the offer.

Carly sleeping in her swing. (notice her toes are poking through the blanket. thanks Mom for the blanket.)
Spencer and I getting ready for our Christensen fireworks extravanganza.....
Us, enjoying the extravanganza.
Big brother and little sister. They are such good friends already.
Carly enjoying the extravanganza... I'm sure she enjoyed it, well maybe she had no idea what we were doing.
Thunderbird air show. It was awesome. "someday I'm going to fly one of those jets."
I wish I could claim this picture. Maybe someday.
