The one with Christmas 2014

This year for Christmas we went down to stg to see our families.  We spent christmas eve with my family enjoying the yummy danish food, then Christmas morning we opened presents and then went down to see Jons family. The remainder of the weekend we spent visiting all our siblings and good friends. It was a good trip.

Christmas Letter 2014

Hello everyone,

                2014 has been a great year for us. We started off the year getting ready to move from TX where Jon graduated from his Bio-medical Equipment Technician training with high honors. We moved from San Antonio to Ogden UT, where Jon started his new job with VSE Corporation as a BMET technician. He loves being able to put his training to good use. On top of his job he started going to school at Kaplan University. The training he completed with the Army was transferable for his civilian degree and he only had to complete 5 classes to reach his Associates degree in Health Sciences, which he will complete in March. He still has his Army Reserve commitment, which he is enjoying and of course he still tries to go shooting, camping or just being outdoors in any spare time he has.

                Taegen turned 4 this year and is full of energy. He definitely got the Lindhardt stubborn gene. J He loves being outside, especially if Jon is out there as well. He is daddy’s little shadow, which they both thoroughly enjoy. He has made some friends here in Ogden that he says are his “girl friends”. He is only 4 and already has some girls who just adore him and vice versa J  He loves Avengers, although his new favorite super hero is batman. Currently he is doing some school online and although he complains about it, he is learning a lot and is starting to learn to read. He also took some karate classes this summer and had a lot of fun with that.

                Ellie turned 2 this year and is in such a fun stage. She is full of personality and is constantly asking “what is that” to everything she sees us doing. She is talking full sentences and is constantly pushing boundaries to see what she can get away with. She loves any and all stuffed animals. In fact, she has at least 5 that she insists on sleeping with every night. We also got a dog this year, a great dane named Blue. Both of the kids just love him, and he is so great with them.

                As for me I have my hands with these two hooligans of mine. J They truly play so well together, which I love and makes my job as a stay at home mom so much easier. This year I started my own business with Nerium International, which has been a fun new adventure for me. I really enjoy having something of my own to put some of my effort into. Although I did have to take a short break from this at the end of the summer when we found out we were pregnant with baby number 3! I got pretty sick and unable to do too much. I’m now feeling much better and am excited to welcome another girl into our family in May of next year.

                We have had an amazing year and are really excited for 2015 and all it has to offer for us. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Love,

The Evertsen’s
Jon, Kristina, Taegen, Ellie and baby girl

The one with Easter 2014

The one where I'm so far behind...

I can't believe I've been such a slacker with posting on here. All of last year I made it a priority to post fairly often, but ever since we moved back to UT it just hasn't been a huge priority. Maybe because we live closer to family again? I don't know. But here's the start of my catch up posts.
Let's start with Taegen's 4th birthday. We met up with Kristel and Eric the day before and they ended up spending the night and celebrating with us. T loved having Evie and Lulu here. Since we had just moved, Taegen didn't really have any friends yet, so we made it a family fun filled day.

Here's the cake he requested and LOVED!

 early morning gifts. He actually woke up super early and came in to our room asking if it was time for his presents. I had to send him back to bed for a few more hours. haha
