Henry 1st Birthday!

Henry Michael Christensen is 1 year old today. This past year has gone so fast and I literally blinked and a year has gone by. Henry is really starting to take off walking. Still a little wabbly but getting around great. His first word was, "Hi". He will just about eat anything I give him! He absolutely adores Jack and thinks he is the funniest thing alive. He follows him around all day long.
I am so thankful that I get to be at home with him (and Jack) to see these awesome milestones unfold. :) From the time he arrived everyone has said, "He looks identical to you Amanda!" Ha I just love hearing that cause Jack was a little Ben! He's my little pumpkin and we are so lucky to have him in our lives.

Jack's 3rd Birthday!

All I can say is wow! Three years has gone by soo fast. My little baby isn't a baby anymore, he's a 3 year old little boy today! Jack came into this world on Mother's Day 3 years ago today. He wasn't waiting anymore and it only took 3 hours from start to finish to deliver him. What a great Mother's Day that was! :)
Jack has accomplished so much in the past year and he's so much fun. He's fully potty trained now standing up to do his business. :) I can carry on a full length conversation with him. He really loves bears, tractors, trains and basically with wheels. He loves being outside and getting dirty (as a boy should). I should also mention to commemorate him turning 3, he decided to stick a piece of corn up his nose today! :( Don't worry it came out right away, but I thought..what a story to tell about his 3rd birthday! haha

Happy Easter!

Jesus Christ Superstar!!

Last weekend Ben and I got tickets to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre for the production of Jesus Christ Superstar. It was a great night out and an excellent show. We know the main character "Jesus" and thought he did a phenominal job.

My Birthday Weekend..

On Sunday I celebrated my 28th Birthday. I have to say, it's really starting get more real that I am getting "older". I don't particularly like seeing little tiny grey hairs on my head that I have to pull out once in a while and new little wrinkles around my eyes, the so called, "laugh lines". As far as I am concerned getting older sucks! On the otherhand, I do feel more "wise" and more "experienced" and more "seasoned" than ever before. I am comfortable in my own skin, have an awesome family, a wonderful Husband, 2 beautiful little boys & a blooming childcare business. I have ALOT to be thankful for! :) I SHOULD be thankful everyday for the years God has blessed me with, to experience these great things in life and not be dreading it when I turn another year older!!!...RIGHT??!!!! I don't know what's wrong with me! :)Anyway, thanks everyone for making my birthday a special one. Here are some pics from the fun-filled "getting older" weekend!
