Can You Believe It?

By On May 16, 2012 · 1 Comment

Dad missed my blog. Yes, really. Like he sent me a facebook message about it and everything. Kinda funny, coming from a man who “hates” living our whole lives online… If I’d have known it would just take a break from blogging, I’d have done it sooner! Of course, after he sent the message, I [...]

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

By On December 14, 2011 · 1 Comment

And somewhere, we skipped Thanksgiving. Well, actually, we didn’t skip it. I just haven’t followed Cassandra’s instructions to blog about it.  After all, someone’s got to show her she can’t be dictating everything.

So, for the very short recap: Thanksgiving was fabulous. Dad was home for it this year (HUGE hooray!!!) [...]

Today is the Best Time of My Life

By On November 14, 2011 · 2 Comments

Seriously. And it’s not because I had a dark chocolate ganache-filled cupcake in the last 24 hours either.  (Of course, that doesn’t hurt.  Until you take body fat measurements using the Bod Pod. Yes, I did that today too. I have fabulous timing. Technically, the cupcake was last night. It [...]

Cassie is Totally Blog-Worthy

By On October 27, 2011 · 2 Comments

When you take a break from blogging, it becomes kind of tough to get back into the swing of things. It’s a good thing I have such fabulous motivators in my life. (ahem. Cassie.) And good reasons that I should blog about. (ahem. Cassie.) And pictures of the same reasons. (ahem. Cassie.)

I [...]

Come Here Often?

By On October 18, 2011 · 1 Comment

I know. I have become one of “THOSE” people. The kind who say “I know, I know, it’s been two months since I blogged. Here’s the update.” Except check it out – it was two months YESTERDAY. Samantha was kind enough to send me an email reminding me of the fact. (Actually, she sent me [...]

The Kids Are Off To Prison

By On August 17, 2011 · 3 Comments

I’d call it the less-ominous sounding “school,” but Cassie has informed me that is woefully inaccurate. The last four Christensens- Reece, Wade, Sam and Cassie – begin their sentences of 12+ years today, with credit for time served. I know, the picture of them is misleading… they look so happy. It was taken [...]

We Are Very Happy Together

By On August 1, 2011 · 1 Comment

Out of the mouths of… Cassie’s fortune cookie from Kin Lin. Seriously. But really, what could be more perfect?

This weekend (well, really from Thursday to Saturday, so not technically the whole weekend), I was lucky enough to have the 2.0s and Wade at my [...]

May The Mudracer Rest In Peace

By On July 22, 2011 · 1 Comment

The Mud Racer is no more. Actually, it still is – but it’s not exactly running. And “not exactly running” is kind of a euphemism for totally dead and sitting by the side of my house waiting for someone to haul it away. Don’t be too sad. It’s had a good [...]

I Don’t Want A Naked Cupcake

By On July 6, 2011 · 5 Comments

My youngest sister Cassie turned 11 today. Pretty sweet, huh? For those of you who know her – and I mean really know her – you know that she does NOT like frosting. Really. Kind of weird for an eleven year old, but who’s judging?

For her birthday, she had a special cupcake [...]

Meet Tyrel.

By On June 21, 2011 · 4 Comments

Just kidding. This is Storm. Reece would’ve really really really liked to name her Tyrel, but (obviously) he’s not in charge. Wade was a little more creative with his name suggestion… “Dark Thunder of the Night.” Yes, I know. He’s hardly a normal fourteen year old.  However good his suggestion was, I got [...]
