Christensen Family Farm

Just a few words about Chloe. She has been with us for the longest time. We got her from Josh B. when we first moved into our house. She was just on loan to us and we just never gave her back. Its been 16 years now and she's still going strong. We're surprised each morning to find her meowing for food and a little attention, but such a sweet girl.

Lauren and James' reception

2008-10-21T21:25:00.000-07:00

This last weekend the family had the chance to attend the reception of Lauren and James. The yard was perfect, the weather was great, and we were lucky enough to have Steph down from school to join us. We saw loads of friends and family. It was a good opportunity to catch up on all the news. We took a few fun shots with Dawn's camera at our table. We were practicing our big photo eyes.....can you tell?

The annual Wikeup quail hunt

2008-10-21T20:44:00.000-07:00

Parker, Miles, and I had the opportunity to go to Arizona for the Ence family quail hunt on the third of October. We ate like kings, walked for miles, got some birds, and were able to see Greg and Jim Ence and their boys (First time since Blair and I were just neighbors). Its been over twenty years since we've seen them. Their boys were all grown up. It was also a great time for the family to get to know Miles better. Everyone was great and reached out a hand of fellowship to him. We had home-grown watermelon, corn, beets, and homemade bread, and deep-fried turkey, schlong, and ribs. Wow, what a feast. It always turns out to be a great time. There were about 25 of us in camp this year. The biggest one I can remember.

A Great Day at the Las Vegas Zoo

2008-08-17T16:40:00.000-07:00

We recently took the kids to the Las Vegas Zoo for an afternoon of fun in the sun. We saw lots of animals native to Las Vegas like cats, dogs, sparrows, lizards, and the like. The most exotic display at the Las Vegas Zoo was the new enclosure for the native hippo. We were lucky enough to snap a picture as he was showing his teeth in a gesture of strength.

The trip to Mesa

2008-08-08T20:31:00.000-07:00

We just got back from a great family meal with Lauren's family at Mi Amigo's. What a great evening. We felt like the hired Mexican help in a sea of blonde. I thought for a moment that we were back in Provo. We overwhelmed the poor place with all of our noise and ruckus. The food was good and the company was even better.

Trip to Hogle Zoo

2008-08-05T21:54:00.000-07:00

While in Utah, we had a chance to visit the zoo one afternoon. Although it was pretty hot, we still enjoyed the critters in someone elses "farm." I took a few cool pictures that we would like to share. They are of an Amur Leopard that caught a squirrel in his enclosure, what is called a Palas' Cat, and an Eastern Black and White Colobus Monkey.

Fireworks from the Balcony

2008-08-04T18:59:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at Suzie and Paul's house over the 24th. It is always so much fun to see all the kinfolk that have moved away. We were lucky enough to see a great fireworks show right off the back patio.

Molly is the mother of the only litter of pups we had. She is liver and white. The original male we rescued from the pound is Casey, and he is black and white

Photos From the Farm

2008-08-04T15:25:00.000-07:00

We have been taking thousands of pictures of the critters here on the farm and hopefully we can figure out how to properly post them. We would love to share them with everyone...the pictures, not the critters. The puppy pictures were taken back in July or August of '07. The other pic was of the whole mess one afternoon in the back yard.
