So yea, you are reading this right....MOM. :)  We are having a wonderful summer, and miss seeing everyone for great visits, great food, great Frisbee golf, great dry bed floating, great birthday parties, and everything else that we did while everyone was in Idaho.  I finished my summer term at BYUI and only 2 more semesters to go.  Now Amanda and I are having a great 7 week off break together.  We just spent a fun week in Oregon with the Dursts.  We were so busy doing fun stuff, and were wore out by the end of each day, but had so so much fun, from a wonderful beach day to the 4T trail with lots of kids, to picking blueberries and everything else.  We are in Washington now, spending a week with Amanda's family, and have already eaten at King's Row( a favorite burger spot for Amanda growing up).  Amanda has really enjoyed teaching college, and just signed her contract for year 2.  It really helps me too, with free tuition.  We have had a hot summer so far and more to come I'm sure.  The kids are already finished with soccer, and school is fast approaching for THREE kids now. crazy.  jack got accepted into the preschool at BYUI, so it will be fun having him in mine and Amanda's buildings we use most up there.  I will add some pictures so you can see some stuff we have been doing, we will write more often.  :) maybe, The transplanted Texan Christensen's in Idaho. :)
