Holy goodness, thirty years from today, my wonderful mother and father were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple! Congrats and I hope the next thirty are just as fantastic. I love you! (: I think they had a pretty good day, even if we did have to go to Stake Conference. (; We made a delicious dinner--cedar planked salmon--and an awesome, delicious cake. HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY!
So, it took 26 minutes to get this dang corsage on! It eventually led to us having to google, "How to pin on prom corsage." Funny stuff.
Cuties. (:
Also, a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wonderful sister, Janessa and our awesome missionary, Elder Caleb Lundeen. We love you both like crazy and hope your birthday's were/are mega fun! (:
Summer is flying by and so much has happened! The family all recently got back from a very long road trip to Utah and Salmon Idaho. We were able visit lots of cousins and got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Hall. Also, we visited Tecia and her family. Then, we all drove up to Salmon, Idaho for the "wedding". Chris and Lisa were married on Christmas Eve 2009. On July 3rd they had a celebration and reception. It was beautiful, and we are so excited to have Lisa in the family!(:
Mother & Son dance.
The family!
Even Caleb was able to be a part of the wedding. (:
Yikes! It has been FOREVER since I have posted anything! I'm falling behind! Sorry for the recent disappearance on here, but now i'm back and have many things to catch everyone up on:
Later in April, Janessa and Craig came to visit and we all went to the zoo. It was a blast! We miss them like crazy and are looking forward to seeing them soon! (:
Also, we took a little day trip to the Japanese Tea Gardens to check them out! They are insanely beautiful and we were able to have a little picnic afterwards at a nearby park. Muy divertido!
Last, but not least was..MOTHER'S DAY! I think it went great and mom seemed to have a good day. We love momma soooooo much and are so grateful for everything she does for us. <3 <3 (:
March was a great month and we were glad to welcome spring and the warm weather here in San Antonio. We were lucky enough to be able to visit Janessa and her family for a couple of days. We had a great time and were able to hit a few parks while we were there and just spend time together. What a great visit! We hope everyone had a fantastic March and that April is just as good! Happy Easter! (:
Holy smokes, where did February go?! Time's gone by sooo fast and a ton has happened. For starters, Tecia had her baby! His name is Kimball Jefferson Kearns born on February 10th, weighing exactly 7 pounds! He's such a cutie! =) We had the awesome opportunity to go up and visit him and Tecia this past week and had a BLAST.
Here he is! (:
We don't get a whole lot of snow here, so we took advantage of it all we could in Utah!
And, this was Marissa and I's first time riding a plane, so of course, we had to take a picture step of the way!
While we were there, we were also lucky enough to visit Sara who goes to school at BYU. What a proud aunt (;
Happy 2010! Wow--A lot has happened since the last post. We had a busy Thanksgiving and were lucky enough to have Christopher and Lisa visit us! It was a ton of fun and we were sad to see them go. Christopher decided that we needed to have the ultimate lit tree in front--he wanted lights clear to the top. He recruited Riley and they spent many hours adding lights to the tree. We went out and bought 12 more strands before they were through. The lights kept tripping the breaker but Kris finally solve the electrical problem and it stayed lit.
Sara and Janessa, Craig and their kiddos came down to celebrate it with us. We went to Six Flags and saw "The Majesty of Christmas" which was fantastic, and loved spending time with them. And now, we have welcomed a new year and can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for all of us. Craig and Riley took down all the crazy lights and everything is put away for another year.
Soon we will post some of our fun Christmas pictures. We look forward to the birth of Kimball (Tecia and Tyson's boy due in February).

CALEB'S GONE! (Posted by McKayla)
Not much has happened since the last update, except for Caleb leaving for the MTC in Provo! This is going to be way good for Caleb, but we all miss him like crazy. We know he is having a good time and can't wait to hear from him again. Also, he sent pictures this past week! Here are a few from the MTC:

October- Busy, busy, busy! (Posted by McKayla)
Sorry, I'm a little bit late on the update! A lot has happened since the last post. It is now only a little over a week until Caleb leaves for the Hungary and we have been trying to fit as much as we can in the short time he's still here: The Pumpkin Patch, Six Flags, carving pumpkins, and as much as we can do with him!
The Pumpkin Patch! It was so much fun (:
The Girlies
Halloween cookies! :D yummmmmmm
ALSO! New Puppies! Amazingly enough, my MOTHER let us get puppies! :D Marissa and I both got one. Her's name is Velma and mine is Daphne. They are adorable (:
This week was quiet, not much to report. However, mom had her Relief Society event which went very well. Dad got off work to help with the cooking, they had a large turn out, and everything went as planned.
Off to Utah... Caleb and mom leave for Utah in about a week! Mom will be celebrating her birthday up there with family, and Caleb will get to visit his friends and shop for mission things. When they get back, it will almost time for Caleb to leave for his mission! We're all going to miss him so much, but we know it will be fun for him (:
Hey, blog viewers! In case you were wondering, this is not Melanie. This is her favorite daughter, McKayla. As part of my Young Women's Personal Progress, I have taken responsibility of updating the blog about once a week with all the new occurrences in the family. Hopefully, this will keep everyone a lot more updated with just a few things that go on in the Lundeen Household (:
Labor Day Weekend!
To celebrate our three day weekend from school, Krista's family, Christopher, Caleb, Rissa and I, and some friends all went to the Corpus (Mustang Island) to catch some waves and for Krista to get some beautiful pics!
BEAUTIFUL view
