Surprise!!

Three years in the LoneStar State and it's officail, we are moving back to Utah! Scott got a transfer approved to work in the Salt Lake office!! We are so excited, live close to family, close to the mountains, no more humitity and the list goes on and on! The sign went up on Wednesday, its so crazy to think we will soon be leaving Texas forever! But there are things I am going to miss... I will post later! And I am going to have to get a job that probably won't be as cool as my job now, but it is Utah! It will all be worth it! So lets hope this house sells and we we can be out of here before the Summer really heats up!!

The Little Man's Sleep Place

Yes the nursery is finally done.. I think... for now at least!! okay so its still missing a few things, like curtains and a crib skirt, no big deal. But I finally like the way it looks so for now it is done :) Scott made the dresser with his bare hands!! Yes he is that talented. It was just what I wanted; a dresser with drawers and shelves for books. My mom made the bumper, I just love love the fabric!! Think I'll make curtains out of it... one day! And we got the cute picture while we were in Hawaii and it just tied the whole thing togther. Now the little stinker just needs to sleep in it!

Hunter's Blessing

Hunter was blessed by his da on April 6th, 2013. We had him blessed while we were in Hawaii so we could have my family there. Nothing better than watching the sunset over the ocean right before your husband blesses your baby boy! Scott did such a good job, and Hunter looked so cute in his white outfit. We are so blessed to have a home where dad has the preistood and was able to give Hunter that special blessing. The only thing that could have made the day more prefect was if Scott family was there, but with us living in Houston this was our best option. We chose April 6th because that is the day ( 3years ago) that Scott and I were sealed in the Draper Temple.

Aloha!!

Yes we took a three month old to Hawaii!!! You'd think we were crazy, but we had grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins to help us out. For Christmas my parents took the entire family to Oahu for 2 weeks! It was so awesome to hang out with the family and rest, shop, swim and play!! Hunter was able to meet the whole family! And he loved every minute of it! Scott had us hiking every mountain on the whole island! We were able to see Pearl Harbor, shop at the International Market, and snorkle Haunama Bay. The best part was just being with the family. We love them so so much and wish we lived closer so Hunter could see all his grandparents and cousins more often.

Welcome Little Hunt!

He finally arrived! Hunter Scott Christensen, born January 3, 2013 at 7:49 pm, weighing 7 lbs 11 ounces, and 19.5 inches long.
We tried so hard to have a New Years baby, but little Hunt just wasn't budging. So the Doc agreed to induce at 39 weeks. We got to the hospital around 10:30 in the morning (when they finally had time for us) and started up on the pitosin right away. I had been contracting all morning so I was ready for the epidural as soon as possible! After that is was smooth sailing til about 4:30 pm when we started pushing. THREE HOURS LATER... at 7:49 our Little Hunt arrived. He was perfect. Ten fingers and Ten toes. Scott and I were exhausted! I've never seen a husband help so much during childbirth as Scott did. He was an awesome coach, traumatized, but awesome.
Two days later, on our 4 year anniversary (Jan 5th) we brought our little bundle of joy home. He has been such a blessing in ourhome, bringing out the best and worst in us but bringing Scott and I closer together. We have had to work as a team, taking turns rocking him at night, and taking turns sleeping!! But we love every minute of it!

Oh Boy!!!

That's right... We are having a boy and we are so excited!! No names yet! (any help is appreciated!) and we have the nursery about half way there and we are running out of time! I can't believe it! We have about 7 1/2 weeks left!! Unless he comes early... we're kinda hoping for Dec 31st :) Everything has been well so far, the doctor says he is big (hope that means he'll come a little early) and besides being uncomfortable ALL the time, its been an easy uneventful pregnancy! We've also been SOO spoiled... we were able to fly back home early October and have a baby shower with our families. We got tons of great stuff, but seeing our families was the best part! I also was blessed with a baby shower thrown by the ladies of our ward! So much fun to hang out with the girls and celebrate our little guy! ALSO last week Scott's coworkers threw a shower at his office! I was able to meet lots of his coworkers and had such a good time with crazy games and good food!! This little guys has already blessed us so much and we couldn't be more grateful for all the support and for our health so far. Only a couple more months and he'll be here. come on Christmas!!!
