A Curtain.



For those of you who don't know there is a gym and a stage area at our church. I was roaming around with Kai during church today and he discovered the stage and how great it was to get lost in stage curtains. I looked up under one curtain and found myself face to face with memories of so many stage curtains that I had peeked through before. Instantly a flood of feelings came over me, the energy and excitement that always pulsated from an audience just behind that curtain. The memories of flying props held by wires hid by those curtains. The excitement and love of a stage with it's curtains put a sweet smile on my face and then I looked to my son who also seemed to have a sweet smile on his face. Will he also find energy, strength, courage, determination, and possibly a piece of himself behind that curtain like his mother did? Perhaps, or perhaps not. But my wish is that he will find things in his own life that bring such passion to his own heart.

Videos From the State Fair





Petting Zoo

I think it helped Kai out that he had just finished eating some chips. The animals really seemed to like him!! ha ha




State Fair

We went to the state fair today. We didn't do too many rides or games because well... they were so expensive for three seconds of whatever. But we did pick a ride that all of us could do together and a game that Kai could do on his own!




Be Our Guests!


Grandpa and Grandma Christensen are visitng! Kai just loves company.

Lego Car

While in Colorado we found this lego car... pretty cool huh?



Congratulations Devon and Angela!

Jay and I went out to Colorado to celebrate my cousin getting married. It was a lot of fun to visit with family. Kai as always did really well with all the travel and craziness. But wouldn't ya know I didn't get my cousin or his bride in any of the pictures?? Go figure. But I did get pictures of the family... enjoy!
