Best Buddies!

Drey and Sage snuggled up ready to watch a good movie. "Hey, want to trade binkies?"

Bathtime is always funner with two.

What do you do when you have to be somewhere in 10 minutes and you are trying to get ready in the bathroom? Shut the door and leave your devastated children on the other side, open the door and this is what you get. (the door was shut for maybe 2 minutes)

Drey is always super sweet and lets Sage cuddle him. This was right before bedtime Sage was feeling snuggly!

I am so glad that we had one more baby after Dreyden. Now he has a buddy and our family is complete!

A Few More Pics From New Years

If anyone is ever up for a rodeo, just head on over, there is always one at our house!

Happy New Year 2009!

My sister and her family came and spent New Years with us. It was so much fun, I didn't want them to leave. Thanks for coming Christensen's!

Chris, Cody, Bailey and Kelli bringing in the new year!
We played games, ate too many snacks, and had a great time!
Sage woke up right before midnight, just in time to help bring in the new year.
The Christensens brought their playstation karaoke and we sang ABBA and country for two days straight. It was so much fun!

A couple of weeks ago, before Christmas, we decided to take the kids out to the Sands to go tubing. Well it was after the big snows and we ended up getting stuck. It was dark, snowing and blowing and Brandon ended up walking/jogging(in snow boots) seven miles out until someone picked him up and gave him a ride to town. The kids and I waited over two hours in the truck until he got back with a good friend who helped pull us out. So on New Year's day we ventured out to the sand dunes again, no we didn't get stuck this time, and went tubing. It was so much fun. The hills out there are huge! Perfect for tubing. We thought Brandon and Gary were going to kill themselves a couple of times. And Drey took off on his own just sliding on his bottom down a hill. Judilyn and I were screaming, he made it almost to the bottom and then started going head over heel. I thought for sure he broke something, but he got up and gave Cody a high five! Drey catchin' a ride on Gary's shoulders. He sure likes his Uncle Gary!

Dreyden with his "Aunt Momma". Drey loves his Aunt Judilyn, I have to watch out or one day he'll become a Christensen!

Brandon convinced Bailey to go down the big hill with him. We could hear her screaming the whole way down, "I'm scared!".

Cody loves tubing, he just tries to keep up with his dad and has no fear.

Stubbs' Family Christmas Party

On Christmas night all the Stubbs' clan gathered at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Cedar. We had so much fun, all seven siblings and families made it this year. We stayed up until about 3 a.m. everynight playing games. Lots of laughs and lots of fun! Thanks Becky and Larry for having 35 of us for the weekend!
All 19 grandkids! Aren't they cute?!
Just a glimpse of what it is like when we all get together. I don't think anyone had to sleep in the laundry room this year;)
Dreyden was so excited about getting this blanket and pillow he had to immediately lay down with it.My sweet sister-in-law Krista giving Sage her first hair cut. I think she ended up cutting or trimming every girl's hair! Thanks Krista!

Christmas 2008

We had a great, white Christmas this year! This year we drew names and had to make a secret homemade present. My kid's loved this, they were like busy little elves! They couldn't wait to give their present away so we ended up doing it on Christmas Eve. I think this will definitely be a tradition.
Christmas morning, waiting to go upstairs and see if Santa made it. We didn't get up until 7:30, nice!
Santa made it!
Visiting with Santa on Christmas Eve. Santa also made a special visit to our house before the kids went to bed. Thanks Santa!
