PRAYING FOR BABY BOSTON!!!CHECK OUT HIS BLOG!!!!

This week we ran into a little bump in the road with Baby Boston. It is a long story and dave has made a blog for everyone to visit and see our journey to try and hold on to this little baby boy. We need all the prayers and love we can get!! The blog is bringingbostonhome.blogspot.com. Either of the Boston David Christensen websites that pull up will work. Click on them and then for some reason one of them will tell you that it does not exist but just click on the underlined Boston David Christensen and it should get you in. If I were smart I would just put the link on this blog, but i am not, so I won't. Anyways, thank you to everyone that has helped us in the last week including the doctors and Life Flight Team....

I HAVE A QUESTION AND WANT ALL OF YOUR OPINIONS... I am trying to decide if I should make my blog private. I have heard all of these scary stories about stalkers and everything. I can not decide if these are like the mormon stories that always go around. I like the idea of old friends being able to find you. I have come in contact with a few old friends that I never would have found other then an open blog. The idea of having to gather everyones emails and send them invites sounds like a headache. I missed a few friend invites to their private blog and now I can not get a hold of them. I just want my girls to be safe. If you have switched over did you just put your Email on the blog and tell everyone that wants to be invited to email you. I do not have half of the friends emails... What is your opinion???

Skiing at Sundance...

We decided to take all the grandkids on my side skiing. They absolutely loved it. Addie was not scared at all and wanted to go on the big lift and not on the bunny hill. I was about a month and a half along with the pregnancy when we went so I was so out of shape I thought I might die. Capris did very well also. She was little worried the first time but after that she was laughing. Dave has really taken on Snowboarding. When we first met I was the skier and he was not because he grew up in Cali and BYU would not let him go under contract. It is totally different now. He goes all the time and is really good. I hardly ever go and do not have the muscles to get me down the mountain. It is hard when you are always pregnant or have to watch the kids to be able to go. Needless, to say I loved being up on the mountain. We are so proud of our two little girls for doing so well. We are also proud of dad for taking up a new sport and doing so well so fast.

I am Back!!!!
I know some of you may have thought that I died... In my mind I almost did. J/K I will give you the quick story of where I have been. After Christmas I decided to get caught up on my scrap-booking. I have 6,000 photos on my mac. I decided to do it the easy way on the mac photo shop. You just drag and type below the picture. Not as cute as I would like but there is no way I can catch up. My problem is that I want every picture and moment to be in their book so I am not good at picking out just a few for the year. Plus, I am not good at keeping a journal so this is my way of journaling and scrap-booking. Anyways, I decided that my blog would have to be put on hold until I was done. Needless to say I am still not done... But I am getting close. Then we found out we were pregnant and I got really sick. Not as bad as i was with the other girls but it was still not fun. I finally started to feel better about a month ago. Then I was busy putting our life and house back together after being sick which took me about a month. Things are getting back to normal. So, I am back and will try to catch everyone up on what we have been doing. Yes we are pregnant for those of you that do not know already and we are so excited.

Yes, we are having a baby!!!

We had so many darling family members come to support her. Tiffany and Chris, Mimi and Papa, Lulu and Stacie ( jeff was there to support but had to sit in the car because they could not find a parking. thanks jeff!!), Mimi and Papa, and Capris,Daddy, and Mommy. We love you guys so much. XOXO

We have been very busy this month with Addie's performances. She is in a little singing group a Center Stage and the have been singing in different places like The festival of trees, retirement homes, Provo town center, The Gateway museum, and a few ward parties. We have had so much fun being her groupies. i can not believe she is old enough to have her won solo ( Oh Christmas Tree). We are such proud parents. Capris has been such a good girl supporting her sister. She can now sing all of the words to Addie"s songs and duringthe performance she sings them on my lap.( Really loud) so cute!!

daveandshelby.blogspot.com Sorry it has taken Us so long to renew the Blog. I have so much fun reading everyone's bog that i never get to mine. The other night Dave (the greatest dad ever) hooked up the sled to the four wheeler and drove the girls to the park to go sledding. WE had so much fun. It was really dark and late but it is one of those memories that you will cherish forever. i love my little family so much. We love to do things on a whim. This Christmas we have tried to slow down and spend more time with the kids. We have tried not to stress about getting gifts and enjoy the season. It has been amazing, watching christmas movies with the girls, having hit chocolate any chance we can get. We are just so thankful these holidays for the love we have for each other and others.

ADDIE'S FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!

Wanting to be just like her older sister

BEST SISTERS


Capris still cries everytime we drop off Addie at school. Our favorite thing to do as a family is pick up Addie after school. It is so fun to see everything she did and how much she has learned. Capris gets so excited to pick up her best friend so she has someone else to play with other then mom!! We love you Addie

B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


O.k... So I think Steph has tagged me, but I am not positive because I can not receive comments on my blog!! ( P.S. If anyone has any ideas of what I am doing wrong please let me know!!)

1. I could live off of SWEETS for the rest of my life!!! I can eat a meal and feel so full i might DIE but when someone puts sweets in front of me suddenly it's empty!!

2. I love being a MOM more than anything in the WHOLE WORLD!! I could lock my little family in the house forever and be happy. I have always wanted to be a mom. Somehow it is better than I had ever imagined...

3. I wanted to be a nurse. I worked in the O.R. in Highschool. I have seen a lot of surgeries. I also worked on the floor just as an assistant and in some childrens homes. I just Love the idea of making people feel better. To put a smile on someones face is an amazing feeling!! I l Love children because they have not been hurt by this world yet. It is so easy for a child to smile.

4.This is hard to think of six things. I am afraid that I am not very exciting!!
I am the worst speller in the whole world. So if you ever see me spell something wrong or put a period in the wrong spot, just smile and know that I try. I was always the first child out for the spelling bee. If they ever gave a chance to opt out i was there!! I am glad i married a smart man.

5. I love Lake Powell. Maybe more then Hawaii. I grew up there. I love to water and snow ski, wake board, and go hiking. I never said that i was good at any of them. I love to be outside. Away fom phones, tv's, makeup, and mirriors. Life is great when all you have to do is put on a swimsuite everyday... Don't get me wrong I love my t.v. shows.

6. I hate to have a schedule. Maybe that is why I hate to work and why i am such a bad friend!! I love to wake up and have a whole day open to discover life. We get to pick out what we want to do. OK now that I am a mom it is not always what i want to do, but at least I do not have a boss telling me what to do. . In my house i am the boss!!! J/K

I tag Brittany Anderson, Kari Tuttle, Becky,

TIME IS ON OUR SIDE...

family

Dave and I at the Pier on Newport Beach.

Capris is the only person I know that can have a little crack showing and still look beautiful. She makes life so much fun!!

Our trip to Cali was so much fun. We loved the beach. Our girls were meant to grow up on the beach. It's in their blood. Addie enjoying an ice cream cone at newport beach.

Representing the Lake Powell gang. I used to nanny some of the boys in the picture. Pretty much Dave and I have ten more Children no one new about. We love them as our own. We already have it on our calenders for next year.

Sisters. I love having two little girls. They are starting to play house together and are becoming the best of friends. Even when they fight i think that it is cute. Brit, You had better be so proud of me. I tried to comment on your post but it said that I had the wrong password. Any suggestions. Mine is not as cute as yours but i am working on it.

Capris was so proud to go to her first birhtday party. She fell asleep while getting her face painted!! So cute
