New Life

So if anyone has not yet heard I left Ricky about 6 weeks ago and we have decided that there are too many problems to fix with our marriage and will be getting a divorce. Yes its shocking but it is the right thing to do for us right now. We are parting on civil terms and thinking about what is best for the kids right now. The kids and I are living with my parents in Oregon right now until I find my own place. Thanks to all who have shown me love and support throughout this whole thing. I will keep everyone updated.

Trip home

So the trip home was a long one but we had to stop and take pictures here at the falls and also feed Olivia for the long ride!

Christian needed to get out and stretch his legs and get his sillys out!

Grandma and Grandpa Christensen's House

So we had some car trouble on the way to the beach house, and we left there a day early to go to my parents house to get the car looked at and while it was nice to spend an extra day or so with my mom and dad. Great family photo!

We went to the playground while we were there and had lots of fun!

Christian cooked Grandma dinner

Beach Trip

So we went to the Oregon Coast for a week and it was soooo nice to just spend time with my family! Newport was beautiful and the beach was great..we stayed in a house on the beach and it was just great! This is a sunset on day 2 of the trip! This is where Christian slept all week inside a closet we called his fort, he loved it! The house was small and there werent enough beds for everyone! so we had to come up with something!

Aunt Jade and Olivia sleeping..Jade was sooo good at putting Olivia to sleep the 2 days she was there with us, I wanted to take her home with me...but no she had to go to New York!!

Aunt Marsha and Olivia just relaxing!

The 3 of us out by the lighthouse Olivia was in the car with Grandma and Aunt Marsha because it was too cold outside for her that day!

Great Grandma and Grandpa McMahan, it was great seeing them it was the first time they got to meet Christian and Olivia so I was happy they got to see them and us for that matter!

Grandpa and Christian at the tide pools!

4 Weeks old!

So Olivia is offically 4 weeks old now, she is growing like a weed and is a very good baby! Her personality is starting to come out now..she is a Diva right now..very demanding and never wants to be put down! Yes mom she sounds just like me when I was her age..the not wanting to be put down part! We love her so much and have so much fun with her! I was told to take as many pictures as I could of her so that mom and dad can see her grow and change! So these are a few of the newest ones!

Mom it looks like she might have those brown eyes you were wanting her to have!

She is just such a cutie pie...I could just eat her up!

mommy and daughter having fun on the floor!

She is a little Jaundice and had to go to the NICU for a while to be under the "tanning booth" haha, but is going to be alright! We love her to death and she is a sweet little thing! Her big brother Christian loves her sooo much he wants to hold her and rock her to sleep at night! Now we are a family of 4! Wow thats crazy!!! Anyway I am doing good a little tired but that is to be expected....anyway we are hoping to go home tomorrow! pray that her jaundice levels go down and we can go home together tomorrow!!

Disney Train

We stood in line for 3 hours to see the Disney Train! It was hot and long!!



These pictures were all taken while we were standing in line, Christian loved the trains and hated the waiting! My feet were killing me and Ricky was getting cranky! haha
