Never Mind, Vegas dosen't have more snow then us

It has been snowing non stop, all day today and we have at least a foot of snow. So don't forget to bring all your snow gear and skis. We are very excited for everyone to come.

We officially STINK at blogging!

Sorry for the long absence from the blogging world. We will try to be better, but we're not promising anything soon! Some updates:

Kendy did great at cross country state.
Garrett can't wait for it to snow so he can go skiing!
Caitlin can't wait for her finals to be over and then she's FREE!
Mom is happy she's working for Uncle Rob's company.
Brynne can do a back hand-spring!
Dad is feeling like a young men's adviser again, but he enjoys it.
And of course, Rizzo still loves begging for leftovers.

We can't wait to see everyone at Christmas!

BYU Invite!

Kendy and I had our third Cross Country meet yesterday at BYU. The course was very hard with some big hills. We both did not do so hot. Most of the runners on our team added about a minute and a half onto their Pre-Region time, including us. But it was a lot of fun. Kendy got fifth with a time of 20 minutes and 26 seconds. I on the other hand got 80th with a time of 22 minutes and 34 seconds. Hopefully we do better on our next meet.

Our Weekend with Lance (ha, ha)

This weekend Bry competed in his sixth 100-mile Leadville, CO bike race. And although it was not Bry's favorite race (ie: his time was not as fast as he would have liked) it was exciting because . . . hold onto your horses!!! . . . Lance Armstrong did the race as well!!! Bry was seated in the top 100 so he was in the same coral as Lance Armstrong!!! I had no idea I was marrying such an athlete! Oh, my!

The day before the race, Bry was late for the pre-race meeting and decided to just listen outside the door which was behind the front stage. He was standing there listening when Lance Armstrong came walking up with Chris Carmichael (his long-time friend and trainer through 'the tour'.) Bry stood there while Fox 13 interviewed Lance (click this link to see actual photos!) and then asked Lance if he would sign his shirt for Susan (the wife of our biker/blogger friend who is dieing of cancer). Now, ya really gotta hold onto them horsies . . . then Lance put his hand on Bry's shoulder and chit chatted while he signed the Bry's shirt! Oh, my!!

Lance ended up losing the race by 2 minutes to six time reigning champion Dave Weins, but we got some great shots of Lance before and during the race. Take special note of Cheri cheering as Lance goes by! It was a very tricky shot to get! -- we practiced many times before he came by. It was a fun week-end.

It's a little late but, Colorado

All of us at the Christensen house hold had a wonderful time in Colorado. It was packed full a mountain biking, dancing, activity's at Winter Park, cards, games, and just having a great time with everyone. Thank you Cranes for this awesome vacation we hope to see everyone soon.

Cliff Lake With The Youngs Troop

This week Garrett went on a backpacking trip with Robs scout troop. They went to Cliff lake in the Uintas. The hike was only four miles but it had two river crossings. The lake was amazing it had lots of fish and cool places to explore. Everyone caught lots of fish and had a great time. Even if it hailed and rained every day. They also made up a new sport called, camp ball. (lots of fun)
Thanks Rob and Tanner

Puddle Jumping - The Newest Sport

Kendy and her friend Megan went puddle jumping on Wednesday. It was very funny to watch, especially when cars or bikers went by. So next time it rains get your wet suits and boots on and hit the puddles!

Brynne's Baptism!

We were all so excited for Brynne to get baptized and lots of people came out to see her. She was baptized on May 3, 2008 on a beautiful day. Caitlin, Kendy and Garrett all spoke at the baptism and her dad baptized her. Congratulations Brynne!
