Our Life In Texas

Freeky Clouds

2009-04-03T15:52:00.002-06:00

We had some weird clouds come our way a couple days ago and Liz got some pictures of them. I thought it looked pretty Independence Day ish.

Car ride

2009-04-03T15:43:00.004-06:00

It was a long car ride for Brigham. It took 4 hours each way so Liz and Grandma had the hard task of keeping him entertained the whole time. They did a great job as you can tell by this video.

11 months

2009-04-03T15:40:00.003-06:00

Brigham is getting so big. He walks by himself for few steps but he can go all day with his walker. At least that is what I call it. This is picture of him while were in San Antonio. I just like his "chicks dig me" shirt.

Grandma and Grandpa

2009-04-03T15:36:00.002-06:00

It took Brigham a little while to get used to being with Grandma and Grandpa and not with Mom. Sometimes as soon as we handed him over he was trying to get back but sometimes he would let them hold him for a little bit, but never too long.

San Antonio

2009-04-03T15:29:00.002-06:00

Mom and Dad came into town for a week to visit during spring break and we took advantage of that and went down to San Antonio for a couple of days. We did the river walk and took the boat tour which was something Liz and I didn't do last time we went. We saw the Alamo and on the last day we went to a Museum which had some pretty cool interactive things to it.

We spent most of one day at this museum checking out all that it had. We saw how counter weights work by riding a bike on a wire over a river, learned all about pully systems by pulling ourselves up and down with different ropes.

We had a lot of fun with Mom and Dad and we are glad that they would come down and see us.

Shooting range

2009-02-08T13:30:00.002-07:00

Shannon took me to the shooting range the other day. We shot four different guns (it's not like I remember the names of the guns).

The Park

2009-02-08T13:27:00.002-07:00

We have a lot of fun going to the park now that Brigham is getting bigger. He loves playing on the slides and the swings. We just get a big get out of watching him experience all of these fun things for the first time.

Bull Auction

2009-02-08T13:22:00.002-07:00

Stockshow and Rodeo

2009-02-08T13:13:00.002-07:00

The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo is a huge event down here. We missed it last year so we decided for sure we would make it this year. You could tell we are not originally from here because I think we were the only people there not wearing boots and a cowboy hat.

When we first got there we went to the bull auction. The top bull went for $6,000.00 but the overall top bull of the stock show, which goes for about a month, went for $140,000.00. After the auction we went next door to the llama event. This thing was hilarious. It was an obsticale course that the llamas had to go through but they did it very slowly. Apparently they get startled very easily so there was calm music playing over the sound system and the handlers just walked them through the course.

After that, we went and looked at the cows, pigs and lambs. They had a demonstration on how they milk cows and would bring cows in every half hour to milk.

We had a fun time and now we feel little bit more like we've had the full Fort Worth experience.

Parade of Lights

2008-12-03T12:50:00.002-07:00

This year we decided to go to the Parade of Lights that goes on in downtown Fort Worth the Friday after Thanksgiving. There were over 100 floats and thousands of people there. It is nice to be only a few blocks away so that we didn't have to worry about finding a place to park.

Law School with Dad

2008-12-03T12:48:00.002-07:00

Brigham and I often go to the law school to visit Joe while he is studying to take him a little lunch. It is very nice for both of us to be able to see Joe during the day. I am so glad that we live closer to the law school so that we are able to see Joe more often.

Getting Ready to go to Utah!

2008-12-03T12:34:00.002-07:00

We have been trying to find things for Brigham to be warm while we go to Utah. Crazy that it is difficult to find things here in Texas where it is 70 degrees today. We were able to find this hat which I personally think is very cute. We are very excited to visit Utah.

FLO

2008-12-03T12:29:00.002-07:00

Brigham got his first pet a few weeks ago. He loves it. The only thing is we forgot that we were going to be going to Utah for Christmas. Hopefully someone will want to tend our little fish.

Mom and Dad's visit

2008-10-18T17:47:00.002-06:00

Mom and Dad came to visit us for a week. It was so much fun to have them come. The week went by too quickly. Brigham loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you for all that you did and do for us. We love you and are glad that you would come and visit. Thanks!

BYU v. TCU

2008-10-18T17:43:00.002-06:00

While Joe's parents were here we went to the BYU v. TCU game. Sorry to say that we lost. We all had a nice time anyway. Brigham loved it and thought that everyone was cheering for him.

Big Smiles

2008-09-07T18:11:00.002-06:00

I just love these pictures of Brigham and the one of Joe. I sure have the most handsome boys there ever was or will be.

$1.00 bowling

2008-09-07T18:05:00.002-06:00

Don't worry she picked up the spare
Liz with perfect form
With $1.00 bowling we had to wait a few minutes to get a lane so luckily we had Brown Bear with us.

Of course I had to wear my wonderful bowling shirt. There is one for Liz too but I think she was too embarrassed to wear hers.

For Labor Day Weekend the bowling alley close to our apartment had bowlilng for a dollar a games. So don't you think we didn't go. We had a great FHE activity there Monday afternoon.

The Bumbo

2008-09-07T18:00:00.002-06:00

The Bumbo is by far the coolest thing for little babies. As soon as they can keep their head up you can sit them in it and it makes them sit up. Brigham loves his Bumbo. There is a little tray attachment you can get for it so while we make dinner Brigham can sit in his Bumbo and we put some toys on the tray and he just plays.

Brigham and the Flamingos

2008-09-07T17:52:00.002-06:00

Fort Worth Zoo

2008-09-07T17:38:00.002-06:00

Before we left to Utah for the summer break we went to the zoo. We weren't sure if we were coming back or not so we thought we ought to go just in case we weren't coming back. We had a lot of fun and we were real glad we went.
Brigham didn't last too long. I think he took like three naps while we were there but I think he still liked it.
This is my favorite picture at the zoo. It looks like the tiger is ready to have a little snack.

Brigham's favorite animal at the zoo was the flamingo. Maybe because we could get so close to them so he could actually see them or because they made so much noise but he thought they were pretty cool.

River Walk

2008-09-07T17:15:00.001-06:00

San Antonio River Walk

2008-09-07T17:11:00.000-06:00

Remember the Alamo?

2008-09-07T16:59:00.002-06:00

This is us in front of the Alamo. Liz thinks it was neat to see where Davy Crockett was killed. There really isn't much there to see but I think it's one of those things you at least need to see once.

The other pictures are of the river walk in San Antonio. There is a big outdoor play house with stadium seating that they have bands play and other entertainment. Parts of Miss Congeniality was filmed here for any of you who were wondering

These are some of our favorite pictures from the walk.

Red Sox vs. Rangers

2008-09-07T16:46:00.002-06:00

So we went to the Rangers/Red Sox game last night. I needed to make sure that Brigham got to a game this year and with my school schedule we almost missed it but luckily we made it. Brigham did very well at his first game. We, of course, had to try to entertain him for a few innings and that's why he has my hat on which he didn't think that was the greatest.

The Rangers won and we had a good time.

Family trip to Nauvoo

2008-08-22T20:58:00.002-06:00

We were able to go to Nauvoo and Adam-ondi-Ahman this summer with Liz's family. It was great to be able to see Joe's parents in Nauvoo and to spend time with them. Joe's parents were in Nauvoo for 6 weeks helping out with the pageant. It was such a great trip. We are grateful that we were able to go.

Brigham's newest accomplishment

2008-08-18T21:23:00.004-06:00

We know that for all of you this isn't as exciting as it is for us but we are glad that you humor us. Brigham is now rather stable as he sits up on his own. He used to only stay up for a second or two but now it is much longer.

Becky and Jacob's Visit

2008-07-05T13:58:00.003-06:00

Becky and Jacob came to visit us last week. It was so much fun to have them come and spend the week with us. Brigham sure loves his aunt Becky and uncle Jacob. Brigham loved to go to sleep with Becky holding him. It was so great for Brigham to have car buddies. It sure made it nice for me to have Becky and Jacob keeping him happy as we went places. Both Becky and Jacob were such big helps while they were here. We sure are grateful for both of you and are glad that you came to visit.

Bonding

2008-07-05T13:52:00.000-06:00

Brigham sure loved Jacob. Brigham spent a lot of time playing with Jacob. Becky was changing Brigham's diaper when Jacob started to talk to Brigham. Brigham looked up at Jacob and reached for his hand. They spent the time of the diaper change holding hands and talking to each other.

Guy Talk

2008-07-05T13:49:00.002-06:00

Joe is busy telling Brigham all about Texas Longhorns. Brigham loves spending time with Dad.

Longhorns!

2008-07-05T13:42:00.004-06:00

When we were at the Stockyards Jacob reached far to be able to grab onto a Texas Longhorn. Twice a day these Longhorns are walked down the street for the benefit of tourists.

Quilting

2008-07-05T13:36:00.003-06:00

Thanks to Becky and all of her hard work I was able to finish the quilt that I had started to give to our friends Shannon and Deanise. There is no way that I would have been able to get it done when I wanted to have it done without Becky's help.

Duck Pond

2008-07-05T13:33:00.001-06:00

We decided that it would be fun to go to the duck pond and take a picnic lunch. After lunch we took some old bread and fed the ducks, geese, and turtles.

Duck Pond

2008-07-05T13:28:00.002-06:00

There is a pond close to our house that has a lot of Asian ducks, geese, and turtles. It was fun to go there. The Asian ducks look like they have a Turkey head. They are very interesting birds.

Nap time

2008-07-05T13:24:00.001-06:00

Brigham loved sleeping with Jacob. Jacob is so great with Brigham. He makes him laugh so hard. With all of their play time they had to have a few naps together to get some of that energy back.

Our Garden

2008-06-13T21:43:00.002-06:00

Our apartment garden is giving us some good tomatoes. We thougt we had planted the big tomatos but as they were growing we soon realized we bought the wrong kind. So we've got the small cherry tomatos. Liz says they are good and I tried one but I just do not like tomatos. Out peppers are growing and we picked two that you see in the picture.

We can't wait until we have a big yard to play in and grow a much bigger garden. It has been interesting to see how the garden has grown in milk jugs on our patio. We've learned a lot for next year if we are still in an apartment as to what we can grow and can't.

It Wasn't Brigham's Best Week...

2008-06-13T21:37:00.002-06:00

This week hasn't exactly been Brigham's best. Monday afternoon he started coming down with a fever and he kept it until Wednesday night. After the fever was going down we thought all would be well until Thursday afternoon he started to get a rash that has covered his whole body. Plus he scratched his face in his sleep. The doctor said after the fever goes a rash can break out and last a couple of days.

It doesn't seem to bother him all that much. He still smiles and laughs like nothing is wrong. Lets just hope next week is better.

Three different faces

2008-06-08T22:24:00.003-06:00

We try to keep things interesting around here, so for our date night yesterday we went to wal-mart and bought some pretty cheep rollerblades and went for a picnic. The picnic was great but the rollerblading was interesting. It is definately true, you get what you pay for. The wheels on the rollerblades didn't exactly roll all that well. It was more like rollerblading through mud. It gave us a good exercise though and we had a lot of fun. These are just pictures and videos from Satuday.

2008-06-08T22:21:00.001-06:00

Video

2008-06-08T22:18:00.002-06:00

The rollerblading

2008-06-08T22:13:00.002-06:00

The trail we rollerblade along follows a stream and this is a spot where it widens a lot and goes down a little waterfall. We thought it would be fun to stop and takes some pictures

I guess now I have to start expanding my expertise at self taken pictures. It's a little harder making sure we get all three of us in now.

Lizzy showing our wicked awesome rollerlades

Saturday Night Date Night

2008-06-08T22:04:00.003-06:00

When you are having so much fun you just get worn out so fast

Lizzy showing us what fashion is all about

Brigham's Smile

2008-05-21T20:58:00.002-06:00

Brigham always has the biggest smiles. Each smile lasts longer and longer. I bet that his cheeks hurt after each of his smiles.

Brigham smiling and talking

2008-05-21T20:45:00.003-06:00

I took this movie while Joe was at school. Brigham had been smiling and talking to me for several minutes and I didn't want Joe to miss it. We are so grateful that he is such a happy baby.

Brigham's Birth Announcement

2008-05-06T21:32:00.003-06:00

I just thought you all (living in Texas I guess I can say all ya' all) might like to see Brigham's Birth Announcement

New Brigham Pictures

2008-05-06T21:25:00.002-06:00

I know you all want to see as many pictures of Brigham as possible. Remeber you can click on the picture to get a bigger version. You may want to do that so you can see just how cute Brigham really is.

Photoshop Fun

2008-05-06T21:21:00.002-06:00

I still think it is fun to play around in photoshop. I decided to see what our spring picture by the tree would look like in the fall. I think it gives a pretty good idea, but you decide for yourself.

Spring Botanical Garden

2008-05-06T21:14:00.002-06:00

One day while Mom was here we went to the botanical gardens and walked through their rose garden. Right now everything is so green and most of the flowers are blooming. Walking through the rose garden had a wonderful aroma.
The last picture is what it looks like inside the tree that Liz and I are in front of. That tree is a very old pecan tree and is hollow all the way up. So I stuck the camera in one of the holes and took a picture to see for myself and it definately is. It is a huge tree and it seem interesting to me that such big tree can stay standing being hollow inside.

Grandma Barber's Visit

2008-05-06T21:07:00.002-06:00

Mom came to visit us for the week and we loved having her here. Brigham loved getting to know his Grandma Barber and can't wait to meet Grandpa.
I think Mom's goal for the week was to get Brigham to like his moving chair. We haven't had any success and sitting him in and enjoying it for more than a minute or two but everyday Mom put him in it until it got to the point where he could enjoy it for a half hour or so. So I think mission accomplished.
We loved having you hear Mom and we are so grateful for all you do for us. We hope you come back soon.

Liz & Brigham

2008-04-20T19:55:00.002-06:00

Liz is loving life as a new mother. She feels like all she does is feed, change diapers and change clothes. Although she may feel like that's all she is doing, she is doing a great job of taking care of Brigham. Brigham definately loves his Mom and that special bond between them is growing stronger everyday.

Anyone want a Corn Dog

Brigham's First Walk

2008-04-20T19:44:00.002-06:00

We took Brigham outside the other day for his first strole in his new ride. We had to stop every minute or two so Liz could check to make sure he was breathing or not. Let's just say Brigham is well watched over, which is great.

Perfect In Every Way

2008-04-20T19:39:00.002-06:00

Is there anything else that needs to be said...

Shannon

2008-04-20T19:32:00.002-06:00

Shannon is Brigham's adopted uncle here in Texas. Shannon is in law school with me and we've become good friends. Shannon and his wife gave Brigham some University of Texas apparel, I guess so Brigham could be a true Texan, and three beautiful scrapbooks that Deanise made and other things. Thanks you guys for all your support and concern during the pregnancy.

G & G Christensen

2008-04-20T19:21:00.002-06:00

Brigham got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa Christensen for the first time last weekend. Liz's mom came down the day after Brigham was born and her Dad came a couple days later. They were here only for a short time but we loved having them here. It was great to have them here and we are so thankful for all the help they gave us with our newborn and everything else. Liz's mom would take Brigham for some hours during the night to help Liz sleep and try to recover from the birth.

Thanks Mom and Dad for coming down. We loved having you here and Brigham misses you. And we miss the extra hours of sleep during the night, ha ha.

25 Mistakes...that's it.

2008-04-20T18:31:00.002-06:00

2008-04-14T16:30:00.001-06:00

Joe came home from school on Monday and crashed on the floor next to Brigham. They both spent a couple of hours sleeping next to each other.

Welcome Home Video

2008-04-09T19:53:00.003-06:00

This is just a quick video of Brigham. He's sleeping a lot so there isn't much to see but we'll keep them coming so everyone can see his progress and growth.

First Night Home

2008-04-09T19:50:00.003-06:00

We are now home!!. Liz is doing well and Brigham is doing great. We are happy to be home were Liz can rest and recover where she needs to be. Thank you to all for the prayers you've offered up for Liz. Please continue to do so while we are still waiting for her to fully recover.

Our Baby Brigham

2008-04-08T21:54:00.002-06:00

We are so thankful that Liz is doing just great after delivery and so happy that we have Brigham in our family. Liz was truly blessed and we are so thankful to our Heavenly Father for keeping Liz with us.

Everything went great with the labor and delivery. The problems occurred after the delivery. About two minutes after Brigham was born Liz turned very pale and was not able to breath. All of a sudden we had about 6 or 7 people in the room with us and nurses going everywhere trying to help Liz. Liz's uterus did not shrink and clamp down after Brigham was born and so she was hemerraging and losing a lot of blood. Within the minute Liz got a shot and a new I.V. with medice and the doctors quickly got the uterus to shrink and the blood to stop. When all was said and done Liz received two unites of blood and started to get better.

We are so thankful for the quick actions of the doctors to keep my Liz here. It was a scarry few hourse while we waited to for Liz to get out of the scary zone but finally she started getting better. Today, the day after, Liz is doing much better and Brigham is doing great.

Brigham was 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 inch. long. More pictures will come so check back.

More pics of Brigham

2008-04-08T21:52:00.000-06:00

2008-03-30T12:40:00.003-06:00

Here is an updated picture of my beautiful wife. We are glad we are finally getting there. As we were sitting in church today we realized this was very likely our last Sunday at church without a little baby. With conference next week Brigham will have to be late for us not to have him by the next time we go to our ward. How wierd is that, to think that from now on we'll have someone else to take care of and to worry about! No more passing the baby on to the parents when he or she gets fussy. We'll be the parents! What's up with that.
In all seriousness, we are very exicted to have Brigham come and we can't wait for the wonderful experiences that we'll have together.

Travel System

2008-03-30T12:30:00.002-06:00

Brigham got his new ride this week. We went over to Target and bought his new stroller and car seat. I'm sure we'll get a picutre of the stroller on here soon.

Step by Step Instructions

2008-03-30T12:18:00.003-06:00

Liz wanted me to show everyone how to do the cupcakes. It doesn't work unless you make the sounds.

2008-03-30T12:09:00.002-06:00

A family in our ward had their girl's first birthday part last week and asked Liz if she would make cupcakes for the event. The flower petals are small marshmallows cut in half and then frosting for the stem. They turned out very well especially for not knowing what we were doing when we started.

BYU v. TCU basketball

2008-03-09T21:22:00.006-06:00

Last night was the TCU v. BYU basketball game. It was the last regular season game so Liz and I went. As soon as we sat down we looked over a few sections and there were all the missionaries. I don't know how they got permission to go but they must have had a good month or something but there was about a hundred or so missionaries at the game all sitting in the same section. They were sitting behind the band and at one point the band turned around and played right at them. I'm not sure what that was all about but they did.

The game was a lot of fun. BYU won by more than ten after giving up a ten point half time lead. There were almost as many BYU fans as TCU fans. The cheers that would happen after a team scored were almost the same for both sides. It was good to see the Y well represented here in Texas.

TCU vs. UTAH

2008-03-09T21:05:00.006-06:00

We forgot that we had these pictures. Liz and I went to the TCU v. Utah football game this last fall. When we took the pictures we didn't have the memory card in so the pictures were saved to the camera and we just found them yesterday. It was hard for me to get real into the game because I wanted both teams to lose but since that couldn't happen I was glad to see Utah come out on top. I'm glad to know that if we are here next year we'll get to see a couple of my brother's because BYU plays here and that will give them a great excuse to come down, apparently we aren't good enough...lol. We had a fun time at the game and it was great to see some football.

Snow in Texas!!!

2008-03-08T15:31:00.002-07:00

This was the biggest snow storm that we have received since we have been here. Notice how you can still see the grass through the snow. It is kind of funny because with this snow storm schools were closed, people got off of work early, and the Relief Society activity that was suppossed to happen that night was canceled. Just a little different than Utah.

One of Brigham's quilts

2008-03-08T15:21:00.004-07:00

This is one of the quilts that mom helped us with.

Mom's Visit

2008-03-08T15:17:00.002-07:00

Mom came down to visit us for a few days. It was really fun to have her come. She came on Monday and left on Friday. We were able to get a lot of things done before Brigham is born. She cleaned carpets, made food, ironed clothes, helped finish up some quilts for Brigham, and many more things. It was so much fun to have her here. Thanks for coming!

The Stockyards

This is a video of one of the cowboys teaching how they used to use whips to steer or direct the cows where they wanted them to go while they were making their treks across the country.

The Stockyards is a fun place to go to and check out some old time Fort Worth. They walk the bulls down the main street twice a day and do other fun old time western things. This is where the first indoor rodeo arena was built and they still have rodeos in it every Friday and Saturday night.

Baby Poll

We thought it would be fun to create a poll for our baby's name. Scroll down to the bottom to vote.

It may look like Liz is praying but she's not. This is how Liz holds the baby sometimes until he comes. It can never be to early to let your baby know how much you love him, don't you think.

Got to love law school! Joe spent Friday afternoon and evening and than all day Saturday on the couch typing a big paper for school. Joe is still in the white shirt that we wore to the temple that morning. We took a recent convert to the temple for her first time. It was such a neat experience to be able to go with her. She cried several times because of the spirit that she felt while we were there. She is excited to be able to do her parents work for them in 8 months.

We transplanted some of the bean and tomato plants. As you see in the next picture there are still a lot more plants that we need to transplant. We are excited to get some fresh vegetables in a few months.

This is an update on our garden. We need to transplant our vegetables soon. It is growing really well though.

Checkin' the growth

We just thought we would let you all see Liz's progress through this pregnancy. The first picture is when Liz is about 3 or 4 month along and the second is when she is just past 6 months. We will keep you all updated as to how it goes this last trimester.

Liz's mom and sister made this quilt for Brigham. They gave it to us while we were in Utah. We love it and are so excited to be able to us it. Thanks mom and Becky for all the time that you spent making this beautiful quilt!

2008-01-20T21:01:00.000-07:00

Liz made this quilt for Brigham. Her mom helped her with the finishing touches while we were in Utah for Christmas.

2008-01-20T20:56:00.000-07:00

We decided that it was time to get started on our garden. We planted a few seeds and should have the plants ready to transplant outside by March. We planted onions, lettuce, tomatos, broccoli, beans, peas, and cucumbers.

I wanted to add a few more pictures of Joe sewing the quilt. He is so domestic.

These are the most recent pictures of Brigham. They were taken on Tuesday. He is doing really well. They say that he weighs 2 pounds 15 ounces right now. We are really excited to have him come. We can hardly wait.

2008-01-20T18:41:00.000-07:00

Joe has spent many hours on this quilt for Brigham. I fell asleep one night and woke up to find that he had sewn most of it together.

2008-01-20T18:35:00.000-07:00

Joe is busy sewing on the quilt that we are making for Brigham. Joe has done most of the cutting and sewing so far on this quilt. He is doing a great job!

Christmas

2008-01-08T19:06:00.000-07:00

Lizzy and I enjoyed our first Christmas together. For the actual Christmas Day we were in Utah with our families and we enjoyed every minute of it. We wanted to have our own little Christmas together so a day or two before we left Texas we had our own Christmas. It is always fun decorating for Christmas. It is such a great time of year.

We made donuts for halloween. We had never done them before but they came out alright anyway. We of course had lots of mistakes before we got good ones but over all they turned out alright.

We have a boy!!

2007-11-01T21:09:00.000-06:00

We went to the doctor again today and got these way cool 4-D pictures of our little baby. As you can see with the last picture we found out today we will be having a little boy. The nurse said he is looking very good and very strong so we are very happy. Liz has started feeling him this last week so she is loving that. We just thought all of you would like to say hi to Brigham.

Liz just loves to talk to her family. She has receintly found the wonders of the hands free cord. Now she can do all her talking and do things at the same time. It's like the best thing ever.

Just a closer look at her apple pies. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM good

2007-10-07T20:46:00.000-06:00

Lizzy made homemade apple pies. They were so good. I ate mine, some of hers and another one later.

Weekends are great. There is no school and I don't have to worry about what I wear.
