What a great weekend! It was so much fun having you all here! Well, almost everyone. Food was great, Settler's was great, didn't get a lot of sleep, but so what...and just sitting around talking. It's every mother's dream!!! Well, I think it is???? Can't wait for this coming weekend, Emily, Katie and Kameron will join us. We'll miss Jason and Mark, but I'm sure we can keep busy. Jason called to say what a good time he had and he wants to plan another time before school start for the kids. I think he seriously considered skipping school to come this wknd. Told me, to wait and we will work on another date.
Bri, love your blog, thanks for indulging me!
Em, you are a hoot! Aren't we grateful for the Christensen's?
Janel, what a trooper, you are such a hard worker! Can't wait for the sewing and crafts to come. Thanks for encouraging me to scrap while you were here.
Missing all the rest of you. Thanks Hannah and Nick for sending the pic texts. Love you.
Dad and Cade are off to Texas for a week of fiddle and guitar camp. I'm sure they'll miss us...NOT!
Well, again thanks for a great 4th of July, let's make it a tradition!!
Love mom.

I really do get excited when I see new blogs. I don't write on facebook, so it's fun to read your blogs. Brianna, Janel???? Has everyone seen the new pics of Max? What a cutie. I wonder if he is related to Dane??? Seriously, it's like seeing doubles. Hannah and Nick, you did a great job making those babies! Paige is so sweet, Dane looks like trouble waiting to happen, and just can't wait to hold Max. December can't come soon enough. Dad just keeps talking about lining those new babies up together and taking a pic. Won't it be fun? Grandma told me today, she really only wants to live until she sees the babies. I'm sure she'll be here longer than that, but I thought that was special.

Looking so forward to this Friday when we can get together and celebrate Katie's birthday. You guys are all growing up so fast. HaHa. Yeh, I know those of you who have children already say that about them...well my babies are growing up too!! Does that make sense??

Received a new calling on Sunday. Dad and I are the Ward Preparedness Specialists. Should be fun. It's pretty open as to what we want to accomplish. No handbook, rules...any suggestions? If your ward has done something cool, let us know.

I love you. Love reading your blogs, talking to you on the phone and of course, reading on facebook. Mom

Hi everyone! So I asked Emily to please change my background as I wasn't likin' the last one that much. Thanks Em! Hannah, love the blog and pics. Can't believe how much Max looks like Dane. And that scowl, have I seen that before? You are wonderful parents and we're really proud of you! Can't wait to have you all back here. It's gettin' lonely!!

So, it is pretty exciting all these little boy's! Looking so forward to Christmas, hopefully, we'll all be together and can line those little guys up. What fun! It really makes dad happy that they are all boys! Must be a guy thing, cause we are hopin' for girls next time!

Love to all of you, and please keep blogging. Brianna????....please update your blog?? Love ya.

So, do you like the new background? Emily changed it for me just before she left. Which brings me to a sad moment. Loved having you here Emily! Wish you could have stayed!! But, the next few months will go quickly and then you'll be here all the time. I'll drive you crazy and you'll wonder why you ever came back! Just kidding.

It was fun seeing Janel and Brianna for a little bit today. We're going to miss the PT cruiser, or I should say dad is. Hopefully he'll find some work so he can get his truck fixed and get it back home. Lot's of ifs, huh?

Our arbitration with the Duncan's is scheduled for July 9th. Please put that date on your calendar and remember us in your prayers. It would be especially wonderful if you could remember us in your fast for July. This just has to go in our favor, or I don't know what we'll do. Well, I do know what we'll do, we'll pick ourselves up, brush off the dirt and move forward. Dad and I are working very hard to find any and all backup evidence to present to the arbitrator. It's been somewhat of a miracle how we'll be looking for something, and a document is right before us that we didn't even know we had. I pray that is a good sign and Heavenly Father knows that our intentions are good. I don't know if I'll ever understand the Dana Duncan's of this world. But, I'm beginning to believe that there are a lot of them.

Enough depressing stuff. Love to all of you. Mom

Thanks for a wonderful Mother's Day! Love hearing from each of my kids. We have the best family!!

Congrats to Nick and Hannah. What a boy! Can't believe all these "big" baby boy's we're having. So happy they're healthy. Just wish I could hold him. Big hugs to each of you!

Last weekend was fun with Harris 2nd Ward (minus the Duncan's). It was a 10!! So fun to see a few of my old friends. There were quite a few I didn't know, a few investigators, but so good to be having a party. Anne ended up staying Friday and Saturday night so that was fun. Didn't get to play Settler's, we were too busy!

So fun having Emily home. She just puts a spark back into our home. Not that we aren't all fun to have around, but definitely a nice change.

Again, thanks for remembering me on Mother's Day, and love to each of you. Mom

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO OUR WONDERFUL MOM!!! SHE'S THE BEST!!!! LOVE YOU MOM SOSOSOSOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

LOVE,
KATIE

It's so cold!! I think this global warming is a hoot!! Seriously, it was only 39 degrees this am. I know I shouldn't complain, Katie it's probably snowing in Flagstaff?? Anyway, we're loving it. I'm so excited for the 15th. Hope everyone is still planning on coming. We'll have everyone here but Nick and Nate. It's been awhile.

Nothing really new on the homefront. Sure enjoy reading everyone's blog. Sue and Jill are coming down today for the temple openhouse. What a beautiful temple it is!! The colors are exquisite and it just feels so wonderful. We are truly blessed to have had a temple built here and I can't wait to use it!!

Nothing more except I love you all. Mom
