Kyle and Christy's Place: First tastes

First tastes

Lately whenever we go to feed Gabbie, she won't eat plain baby food. She has to have whatever we are eating or we have to fix up something that she has to gum down to eat it. One night a couple weeks ago we had muffins and she wanted to try them so we broke one apart and let her have at it. Most of it ended up stuck to her clothes or thrown on the floor but what she was able to eat she really enjoyed...

We have a very big problem in our house. Gabbie loves to get close enough to our faces so she can try to pull off our glasses. We have a rule that we are not allowed to play with glasses or another of her favorites, mom's hair. Children's Place was having a huge sale so we got her some glasses of her own for $1. She doesn't like to wear them but man does she enjoy chewing on them.

We do need to get together soon. Let me know when you are available and I'll go to your apartment and we'll do something fun!; July 28, 2008 at 2:14:00 PM CDT

Meet the Christensen Family!

Kyle and Christy met in August of 2005, officially started dating on the 5th of July 2006, and got engaged to be married on November 16, 2006.

They were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in American Fork, Utah on the 17th of February, 2007. In June of 2009 we moved to Houston, Texas.

Gabriella was born on December 4. She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce when she was born and was 20.5 inches long at that time. Since then, she has grown a whole lot and consistently measures in the 100th percentile among children of her age in categories of both weight and height. She loves anything to do with Mickey Mouse. She also loves reading anything she can get her hands on and pretending to be a princess.

Noah was born on July 10. He weighed 8 pounds .08 ounces when he was born and was also 20.5 inches tall. He has a very patient personality and really loves his big sister despite her struggles with no longer being the only child. He also is the teaser of the family.

Lizzie was born on December 17. She weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. When she was first born we thought she was going to be our quiet child. Boy were we wrong. She is demanding and will scream at you to let you know she needs some attention. At this point, she is a complete Momma's girl.

In August 2007, Christy started her 2nd year as a 2nd Grade Teacher. She Graduated on April 27, 2007 from BYU with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. At the end of the 2007-2008 school year Christy retired from teaching and became a stay at home mom.

In April of 2009 Kyle graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in English Education with a Psychology minor. While in his studies at BYU he has had an emphasis in Critical Rhetorical Theory specifically dealing with issues of Class, Gender, and Race in the Literary, Political and Pedagogical realms. Kyle no longer teaches. He has moved on to the Human Resources field. The company he works for now has great benefits and advancement opportunities. We can't wait to see what the future will bring with this new position.

Taylor has graduated high school and no longer lives with us. She will forever have a place in our home though and will always be a part of our family. Good luck to her as she heads off to BYU-I to study Recreational Therapy.
