Christensen Update

Hello Nortons! This is Ashley in Utah. Things are all good here. We had our third girl in July and just had her blessing. Tanner's family, and my Mom came up and we had a great time. If you want to know more and see some more pic's just visit my blog. I will wait and see if my bro's post about their families, but if they don't, I will fill you in on them too. Hope everyone is well and happy!
Lots of Love,
Ashley (Norton)Christensen

The Waggoners

Hi everyone!!! Not to much is new with us. Shaela started kindergarten this year. She has grown up so much in this last year. It seams like everyday she comes home from school and she is even bigger than when she left that morning. I can't believe she is learning to read!!!

I am working for UPS as a part-time supervisior. Brian is working for UofA on Mt. Graham. He is a maintenance mechanic for the telescopes & loves his job. For some reason he likes to drive the big trucks up the mountain. He also gets to plow the snow in the winter. That part stresses me out because as you know that road is not very wide.

We are all doing great and are so glad that Tori and Mom started this blog so we can all keep in touch.

We hope all of you are doing great!!!!!

Love,

Brian, Tara & Shaela

Family Update

I’ll try and write a little about what’s going on with my family. I’m extremely sad to not be going to Mexico with Ron & Clarece in October. But, I just can’t do everything my heart desires. I will be going to Ashley and Crea’s next weekend (Sept. 28th) for our little Abby Erline Christensen’s Blessing. We Blessed Tevor and & Tonya’s baby, Tylee Joy Norton last Sunday (21st) at my house. Tanner and Karyn’s baby, Clinton Lloyd Norton, will be turning 1 (one) on Dec. 4th. Good times and special blessings. AND, the other 8 are doing great as well. Of course they are the cutest grandkids in the world, as I know all of yours are too.

Chace and Rachel are in Hawaii. Rachel is playing Volleyball for BYU Hawaii on a scholarship. Chace is working but loves being a beach bum too. Garret and Angela are stationed in Hawaii, at least for the next 3 years. There is a possibility he will go to Afghanistan after the first of the year. Please pray for our soldiers. They both love it there and have made many friends and have a great apartment. They are really appreciating the space after living in a travel trailer for 2 years. I miss all 4 of them but I’m glad they are enjoying their adventures together.

Our exciting news this week is that Tanner and Karyn will be moving back to Central. He’s had a job offer here and they are excited to come “home”.

I hope all the “Norton’s” will take some time and give us a little update. I for one am very excited to hear about all of you.

Love you all,
Erline

We are off to Mexico

It looks like we will be able to go to Mexico October 3rd. We were a little worried that the truck wouldn't be ready after the engine fire we had in August. They tell us it will be ready the first part of this week Hooray!! That gives us a week to get ready and make sure it is runny OK. Our next trip to Mexico will be May 22 -29th . We are also planning one last trip to the Lake October 24 & 25th. We would love to have anyone who would like to come.

We started this blog because we realized that we aren't very good at keeping in touch and this is an easy way of letting everyone know what is going on in. I'm am finding out that our family is growing with out my knowledge. I had no idea that Jeremy and Sarah have a little boy. A lot of family members have told me they didn't know that Tori had a little boy. Erline and Clint's Family has grown by 2 girl and a boy and I know of at least one more on the way.

So please take a little time and let us know what is going on in your families.

Hi everyone,
I'm back...from Bulgaria! It's scary to think how fast 18 months went by. It was such a rewarding experience and I love and miss the people of Bulgaria like crazy! It's sad that it's all over now but I'm doing my best to get back to normal life. I got home on August 13, spent a couple of weeks at home in Arizona with the family and then I packed up my car and headed back to Provo, Utah, where I'm attending BYU. I'm majoring in Elementary Education and even though I just started the program I absolutely love it! I hope you all are doing well and I'm excited to get back in touch with everyone!

She's Home!

Shaundra is home from Bulgaria. I took some pics of her while we were both in AZ for a couple weeks. She's not a frumpy missionary anymore...that took some work. Just kidding. New clothes, a haircut and a few highlights is all it took. I think she looks great! So do the Utah boys. :)
