Kyle and Christy's Place: Great Grandma Campbell

Great Grandma Campbell

We arrived at Christy's parents house at about 12 Saturday night. We woke up early to attend church with mom and then got ready to go spend some time with Christy's grandma and her extended family. It was really nice to see everyone together again. It was like the old days of the entire family coming over to grandma's for Christmas.

We were able to get a four generation picture with Christy's dad, Grandma Campbell, Gabbie and Christy...

Here Gabbie was playing with her cousin Arieanna (to the right), Christy's cousin Rachel, her stepfather Jeff, and her daughter Brianna.

Christy and her older sister Jackie sitting on the floor because every single seat was taken.

Spending time with family that you have not seen in over a year is a great feeling. We loved the warm feeling of contentment that was there in the gathering and can't wait for the next time we all get to be together again.

Kate said...: i love trips home too, for the same reason... it's so hard to not see family for so long, but the visits are so much better when you haven't seen them for so long! :); August 20, 2008 at 5:38:00 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.
