Here is our little man representing! Tammy and Wyatt gave us the adorable scrubs and then Ms. Anne had them monogrammed for us! Who knows maybe one day Colt will take over the business!

This is just the start of what we were dealing with over the Christmas break. Of course, we move to Missouri and they have the coldest December they have had in 120 years. Isn't that just our luck. The kids love it but I do think that after the past three weeks of snow and temperatures in the single digits and us not really getting out of the house and mom going crazy, they have realized it is time for the snow to go!!! In this picture the kids broke ice cycles off cars and were treating them as lolly pops. Good thing they did not try this on a flag pole or something. I double dog dare ya!

It is not very often you come across people in your life, other than family, that you want to remain in your life forever. Dave and I have been so blessed with the friends we have made in the various destinations we have lived. Last week we were thrilled to have our wonderful friends, the Ally's come and stay with us. The visit was way to short but we managed to catch up and the kids were immediately friends again. We have not seen them in three and a half years and we will not let that happen again. We loved having them here and the kids have missed them so much! More pictures to come.

Here is our first Frosty! He is pretty darn cute thanks to Dave. It was 8:45 and we were putting the kids to bed when Dave opens the blinds and shows the girls all the snow. They saw a friend playing out in it, so needless to say me, the grinch, didn't want to let them go play in it that late. But Dave told them to go get their coats and shoes on. They had so much fun and so did Dave. Around 10:00 when Dave told them it was time to come in Sadie cried out "Ah man, gwon ups don't care about having fun." she came in and while she was getting dry jammies on we noticed her legs were bright red! That would be because of the snow angels!

The Christmas party at the church was a HUGE hit. Santa made a quick stop and the girls were so happy! After waiting in line for an hour they said it was worth it! The week before we went to a fun play area at Zona Rosa where they saw Santa and Mrs. Clause. They were there with their cousin, Cru and were able to wear their jammies! I will get around to posting those pics soon!

Just a few more of the cutest little guy ever! He is so fun and is doing so well at sleeping at least a good three hours straight during the night! Eh, could be worse!

Our little guy is growing up tooo fast! He is so sweet and his sisters are loving on him so much.

Aunt Kayla came for Colt's blessing.

Sadie thinks it's fun to finally be a big sister for once.

Baby Colt!

Today was the big day

noreply@blogger.com (Dave & Jada) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:21:00 +0000

The day started early and we were full of excitement. The girls were staying with Dave's family and we knew they were going to have a good time. A huge thank you to them for their help. Dave and I arrived at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. to only have the front desk tell us that they did not have us scheduled that day. Needless to say I was not very happy let her know. Turns out they just missed our name's on the schedule. UGGG! After that little mix up it was the best delivery experience ever. By 7:30 I had my epidural and by 11:30 We had our little boy!!!! It was really the easiest delivery so far.

Colt McClain Christensen was 7lbs 13oz and 21 in. long. Other than is not breathing episode, which scared us to death, he has been perfect! I am on cloud nine every time I hold him, look at him, kiss him or even talk about him. I am still in amazement that he is ours, here and healthy! I love him and will update more very soon!

Really switching back this time?

We are having some serious issues with our iweb account and are exploring some options. This stinks...

Soccer season again!

noreply@blogger.com (Dave & Jada) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:09:00 +0000

Savy had her first game last week and won. Wahoo! She has really improved so much. Again, I am the mom that can not sit still. I absolutely love watching her play and get so excited when she is in the mix. She is so much more aggressive this year. Dave and laugh because their whole lives we tell them to share, but when soccer starts it is all about take take take! I think Savy is getting the point!

Ladies and the very few gentlemen that read blogs,
We are so excited about the future blog that will soon present itself. Hopefully soon. We bought a new Mac computer and Dave has been trying to teach me how to improve my blogging skills. I have to admit I am not a very good student so it might not be too soon. In the mean time I am really enjoying reading all of my friends thoughts and stories.

Show me those muscles!

During an absolutely freezing day in Missouri, we ventured out side for some sledding. Wyatt was pulling us on the back of his four wheelers. This is a great picture of Dave after he bit the "snow." Burrr!

Every Year that we are with Dave's family over the holidays, we make ginger bread houses. Tammy is the master baker that makes the ginger bread from scratch. It was so much fun! I love holiday traditions that bring families closer.

Merry Christmas to our little sweeties. Sadie received a "jump-o-line" for her birthday, but after just three short weeks her little heart broke when it would not stay inflated. So of course, Santa had to out do mom and dad and get her a bigger and better one. She was in heaven. It was so fun for us to see her squealing with joy. Savy had a great Christmas also!

Little Sadie is already showing her motherly skills. She is taking care of two little ones at once. Gotta love the diapering job. (I think Dave actually did that for her.)

Our little Cru came to visit us right before Christmas. He and Aunt Kayla surprised me for my birthday! Yes, Sadie is the one in the dinosaur jammies. They had so much fun running around the house and learned a few naughty things from each other. I love it!

Savy was the star of the week and because of this she was able to take "Wolfie" home for the weekend. I love how the teachers make it out to be this great thing, but of course it ended up being another huge project for me. We had to journal our lives with the dirty, cigarette smelling, stuffed animal all weekend. He went everywhere with us.

Savy and I trying to play in one of the many snow storms we received in the month of December. The very next day I bought snow pants. I was sooo cold!

Happy New Year!

Hello to everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. We were all over the place. We went to Columbia, Missouri to meat an orthodontist there, then we were off to Dave's family's place about 3 hours away. We were there for 3 days when my wonderful grandpa passed away. So we were off to South Carolina. Although, it was not the best circumstances, we had an enjoyable time with family and friends. We made it back to MO for Christmas and were able to relax a bit. The cousins really enjoyed each other. We are finally home and started back to normal. Every day I look at Dave and laugh about how our home is in such chaos. I love to organize things, but when I am trying not to let the TV be my baby sitter I spend most of my day playing puzzles and Backyardagins with my two year old. Maybe this weekend the clean up can begin, so, dad can entertain.
I am glad kids can bounce back so easily. Savannah is right back into her routine of things. She loves school and is learning so much. Sometimes too much. The other day I had Savy and Sadie in the bath tub. I stepped out for a moment and heard Savy telling Sadie to "STOP" over and over. I casually walked in to assess the situation. "Savy what is going on?" Savannah says, "Sadie is splashing my weenie." I had no idea how to react to this accusation. I wanted to get upset and she could tell, so she quickly said, " whats a weenie?" All I could do was laugh! When I asked her where she had heard that word she said, "all the boys in my class say they are going to kick each other in their weenies." Whats a mom to do?
We still are not absolutely positive where we will end up this spring. We will let everyone know as soon as we know. We love you all and hope the year is starting off right for you.

The Christensen princesses!! Ready to Trunk or Treat? Sadie was Cinderella and Savy was Tinker bell. We won for the best decorated "Trunk". The cold weather has been holding off a little longer this year, thank goodness.

Happy Birthday to Sadie. She was in Heaven and spent the whole day saying, "IT'S MY BIRDDAY!" She loved her Jump-o-line and her Nemo fish. We left the monstrosity of up for as long as we could take it. Two days. Then we moved it to the basement where the next day I found her yelling, " Help mom!" She was trying to pull the whole thing up the stairs.
