Runaway Kitten

I just can't figure out why our kitten ran away? (Are you feeling my sarcasm). We did find him a few days ago and he has adopted a new family. We miss you Oreo.

A Child's Prayer

I asked Dane to say the blessing on the food for lunch today and he prayed that our baby could come out. Hans and him are both so excited for our new baby.

A Nutty Morning!

I woke up this morning to the sound of a crack followed by a chomping and then Hans saying mmmmm! This continued to go on for a few minutes then Hans ran into my room and said, "look Mom, I found a puzzle nut." I asked him what he was up to and he told me he was cracking nuts for breakfast.

My Apple Pickers!

We went to my parents house a few times to help them pick apples. We really did have a fun time. Hans and Dane loved being up on the ladders and knowing that they were really helping. Hans kept saying, "This is the funnest thing I've ever done. I love picking apples." Even Christian was talking about putting in our own orchard. (My dad was pretty proud)

First Showing of Twilight

I don't know how this happened to work out so well, but Christian's sisters got tickets to the first showing of Twilight and of course they got me a ticket too! I am so excited. Edward...Here I come!

Happy Birthday Dane!

Dane Turned 3 on Halloween! He is getting so big. He got this little bike for his birthday. He was so excited for it.
When he was born we called him our little goblin.

Dane loves to play outside and follows Hans wherever he goes.
He also loves: anything spiderman, helping me in the kitchen, trains, all animals especially cats and dogs, Riding our pony, playing legos, and fixing things.
When Christian is home Dane will not leave his side, even if he is working outside in the cold.

Dane you are the sweetest little boy.

We love you! Happy Birthday!

And Baby Makes 5...

We have been really excited for a new baby at our house. I am only 8 weeks along, but I can never wait to tell people. I figured if both our families know then we might as well post it on our blog. So it is official I am due in June.

Here is a look at what we have been up to!

I have been a slacker... My sisters keep telling me to get with it and update my blog, so here you go.

For most the month of October we have been hunting. Christian drew out for the mozzaloader hunt, but we couldn't find anything. Hans and Dane loved every second of it and hiked all over the place with us.

Christian's family came out to our house for the week of the Rifle hunt. Stan and Niels each got a deer! Yeah!

My deer!

I did not draw out this year, but our neighbor gave me one of his permits to shoot a doe on his land. So we walked across the street and waited in the alfalfa fields until a deer popped up on top of a hill and I shot it at about 160 yards. It was the coolest thing ever. I was kind of nervous about shooting bambi, but I was able to do it.
Christian was pretty proud that his wife could get a deer and he was nice enough to gut it for me. What a guy!

Butterfly Kisses.....

These boys are always catching bugs. Hans spends hours a day catching grasshoppers, butterflies, flys, moths, and anything else that he can find. We constantly have a mason jar on the counter top with some kind of new discovery in it. Oh the joy of having little boys!

Quote of The Day

"Hey Dad, I can count all the way to Eleven-teen."- Hans 4 years old

My Little Piggies' Mud Hole

We have been doing a huge remodel to our house over the last couple months. This week we painted the outside and have been very busy. Needless to say Hans and Dane got creative. The made a big hole in our grass and filled it up with water. So here are our little muddy boys.

What is all the Hype About?

I have been wondering for the last little while, "What is all the hype about Stephanie Meyer's books?" All the while I have been getting a hard time from sister in laws and anyone else who found out that I haven't read them. Whenever I saw someone put it on their blog I thought how trendy. Well Heidi let me borrow Twilight and I started reading it.... In fact I can't put it down and now I constantly think about Edward. So thanks Heidi and I just want to say I have joined the Bandwagon.

Our Baby is a Big Boy!

Yeah! It is a great day at the Christiansen house. For the first time in 4 1/2 years we do not have a little one in diapers. Dane is now potty trained! This is him as a baby. I can't believe how much he has grown.

The Catch of the Day!

For Family Night last week we went to our reservoir and went fishing. We were about to go home and I told Christian, "just a few more casts." So of course on the last one I caught a fish and let the boys pull it in. They were so excited. We caught a good size brown then we went home and ate it.
