So Kali has been showing off her muscles lately.  She isn't quite 7 months yet and it looks like she is trying to stand before she even learns to crawl.  She may show her sister up who started walking at 10 months and only crawled for 2 months.  Anna will appreciated it when she learns to walk though.  She loves playing with Kali even if Kali can't really do anything with her.  They are going to be best friends

Dad!!! why are you taking pictures of me?!?! 

Smile big for the camera!

The Zoo....Again! yay

The Zoo~!  Yay!  We sure love this place.  Seems like I'm there like once a week.  

100 degrees here we come :(  It truly makes me cranky when it's so so hot.  At least we got to go with some friends.  Diana and her kids Grace, and Paige.

I'm going to get ya!  

Love this cute girl~!

 Mommy check out the otter!  They are amazing! This was Paige's favorite for sure!

Every time we go to the Zoo the 2 otters are in there little tunnels and we never get to see them.  Well I guess they like the heat cause it was seriously in the 90's and they were out and loving it.  They were playing all around and enjoying the water.  

Graduation

ZACH GRADUATES ON MAY 3RD! HALLELUJAH! I'm so excited to no longer feel like a single Mom most of the time. That may sound terrible but there were times when I would be lucky if Zach was home before the girls went to bed, or if he was ever home on the weekends. But he is an amazing Husband and Father and helps out SOOO much when he is home. To that I'm very grateful. He has juggled so much the last few years and I have to give him a BIG thank you for sticking with it and doing SO much to provide for our family's needs. It has been such a blessing that through all of this schooling I have been able to stay home and we will be coming out of school DEBT FREE!!!!!!!! That is an amazing accomplishment in this day and age. Now because we know NOTHING about Seattle most likely we will end up renting so our dream of buying a house will once again be pushed back but I know that in the end it will be for the best and SOME day I will be able to settle down and have a home I can consider my own.  With that here are some updates in pictures.  Enjoy!

Aunt Amber was kind enough to play in the sprinklers with me, I think they will soon become our best friend!
Solids!!!??? Is my baby already ready for solids, seriously?

1st time swinging and I loved it!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Thanks Grandma Christensen for the fun shirts! Oh they are so darn cute!

We have better family pic's but I thought this was kind of fun.

Moving to Seattle

Zach got a job offer in Seattle and we will be moving probably the middle of June. Wow! What a new adventure this will be! Now I know that the Lord will take care of us and that it will all work out but these are some of the things I'm worried about are:

*I feel I should do all I can to find someone I trust to take care of this home
*Finding a place to live in Seattle not knowing anything about the area
*Moving again...this will be our 4th home since we've been married
*Finding all new friends, which includes making our ward family our family
*Leaving family which means no more free babysitting or fun family get togethers
*A HUGE thing for me is finding all new Doctors...

-But even through knowing I have all these challenges ahead I have felt at peace. We are excited to start new family traditions together and to explore the beautiful state of Washington. The weird thing to me is that I went to a massage seminar there with my Aunt just before Zach and I got married and I'm grateful I've at least seen part of Seattle. It gives me peace knowing that the Lord allowed me the opportunity to go there before we made the decision to move up there.

Some more fun pic's

Happy Valentines Day. So Great Grandma and Grandpa Christensen sent down pj's for Valentines Day and they are so cute! The girls look super cute in them as well.

Fun pic's

Kali is sitting up and she is sooo much fun right now! I love her smile and laugh and everything else~!
We went to the aquarium at Mills Mall with Zach's Aunt Heidi and her 2 kids and also Grandma and Grandpa and it was so much fun!

Our little sweet heart!

Anna singing I am a Child of God

Anna singing I am a Child of God. I remember the 1st time I sang this to Anna when she was 1st born and being overcome with emotion because this was the child God had entrusted me with to let her know she was a Child of God and that she was special. How cool to have her sing it to me and get almost every word right.
