Hookie Bobbin'

Hookie Bobbin'

The other morning, we woke up to several inches of snow on the ground. At first, this was somewhat discouraging because we are getting tired of the snow; however, we decided to make the best of it. We borrowed a few sleds, a tow rope, called up some friends, and headed out to find some unplowed roads. After a few minutes of driving we found the most ideal location in town. It was a newly built park that had several roads circling it and park lights that illuminated our path. It was perfect, noone was around except us and the snow. We spent 1 to 2 hours pulling each other around behind our truck. It was probably the most fun we have had in a long time. We can't wait until it snows so we can go again. Our friends Brittney and Jason came with us and fortunately Brittney took several pictures. We have some videos too but I had trouble downloading them; hopefully, they will come in the near future.

Some of you may wonder, "What do they do with Aubrey when they do crazy stuff like this?" Well, the answer is simple, We take her with us. Our family motto has always been to never let anything slow us down, just find creative things to do that can include our children too.

Wade and Jason had so much fun. The two of them laughed so hard the entire time. At times it we could hardly see the people we were pulling because of all the snow that that we were being plowed through.

Wade brought his snowboard with him so he could practice "wake boarding" for this summer!

Katie and Jason being pulled by the car.

"It's all fun and games until....

..... someone looses a glove-- or should I say a body!"

Wade and Jason began plotting their next "hookie bobbin'" adventure before we even left.

Unfortunately, Brittney was behind the camera in all the shots; however, she and I had a blast double hookie bobbin' together. I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. Stay tuned for more Crazy Christensen Adventures!

Aubrey getting into mischief!!!

Aubrey is currently having an identity crisis and doesn't know exactly who she wants to be.

One day she is sweet little Aubrey....

.... the next day we catch her doing a google image search for "naked babies".....

...she has become so engrossed with this new problem that...

.... she has completely changed into something terrible!!!
We miss our cute, little Aubrey!

**Do any of you experienced parents know how we should handle this awful tragedy?

REXBURG

Back in Rexburg! The first night that we moved in the infamous Rexburg weather was -20'!!! However, for the most part the weather has warmed up and is staying more consistent. Our new apartment is small, but very cute. Aubrey does not have her own room yet but she just upgraded from a bassinet to a crib. We were afraid that she wouldn't do well in it but she loves it! She falls asleep within 10mins. of laying her down. We couldn't be happier about how well she is doing in it; also, it is very cute!

"Welcome to my crib Hommie G'!"

We got a super awesome deal on the crib at Toys R' Us. The lady there let us price match the crib at Walmart plus gave us several other coupons and discounts that brought the price of the crib from $165 down to $120.

Finally Aubrey has a place of her own!

Sorry this picture is sideways but I took it to show you the awesome Retro Wall paper our apartment has. This is probably one of my favorite things about our new place.

The first week of December, Aubrey mastered sitting up! However she is continually progressing. She is now trying to pull herself up on things. The first time we saw this was when we were doing laundry and she was trying so hard to pull up on the hamper. After several minutes, the hamper over fell towards her. She hasn't yet made it to her feet by herself but she can get up on her knees. As for crawling, she is getting so close as she rocks from her bottom onto her belly; however, when she gets there, she doesn't get the concept completely yet. She is also rolling a lot more when she wants to reach for something or get somewhere. It's only a matter of time before she is completely mobile.

In our hallway, we have a floor length mirror in which Aubrey loves to play with the little girl in it. It is so funny how excited she is when she can see herself and entertain herself.

She tries so hard to touch that baby. Like with everything else, she has to try and taste/eat that baby too!

A cold, cold day at the park.... We stayed there for approximately 3mins., but it was fun while it lasted.

Trip to Utah
Last week end we went to Utah for the annual car show that Wade has to go to. Every year before, I haven't been able to go with him; however, this year I was fortunate to go too! We had a blast looking at all the new cars and some classic and antique ones too. Even Aubrey enjoyed the whole show. That same weekend we went to Cabella's, hung out with Wade's brothers, and went snowboarding! It was a very fun and eventful weekend. Unfortunately, I only remembered to take pictures at the car show.

Don't I look so awesome in the front seat of this car?!?

Aubrey stayed in the stroller the whole time but enjoyed every minute of the show.

I think she loved the show so much because she takes after her Daddy!

There was also this big ARMY truck, I even got to go inside.

-----------------------------------

As a side note:: Because of the show, my dream car has been solidified: I am going to own a Cadillac cts-v . I don't have picture of the one I sat in; however, these pictures will give you the idea. Isn't this car the sexiest car you have ever seen?
