We decided to take the van, in case any of us did some shopping. Hahaha. So, we spent Tuesday with mom before she headed to Provo and did some shopping. On Wednesday the kids, Jane and I went to Temple Square and looked around. It was quite fun and very beautiful. We saw a couple getting married, and the Peyton yelled, "princess!" Thursday we went down to IKEA and I got some much needed shelving then we went to Thanksgiving Point and went to the Dinosauer Museum. Wow, the kids had a ball. It was such a cool place to take kids and they had a lot of fun. On Friday, Joe watched the kids and Jane and I got to hang out for a few hours just us. THANKS JOE!! He went way above and beyond the uncle duties, and I was so appreciative of it. I really needed a little break. Saturday morning Joe and I ran a 5K his running store was sponsoring and Jane stayed with the kids. We ran in the snow, which was depressing considering it was April 30, but still fun and I got free socks and a free t-shirt! Then we packed up the car and waited for mom to arrive. Then we packed her stuff and, oh my. That is all I can say.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFDG9pXzW50gpSRpLBiak5Anpr1LVlaUOiZpNEup86vO6zeqmm84lubVP67GQKi0EOGaY2PTB3HqkVds9Dla-8K_BEQihOXrVS7K7kNL9g6d4QZaea8c1GfwLU9jHRL8WKkJmDYbvH1jQm/s1600/2011-04-30_11-59-42_102.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFDG9pXzW50gpSRpLBiak5Anpr1LVlaUOiZpNEup86vO6zeqmm84lubVP67GQKi0EOGaY2PTB3HqkVds9Dla-8K_BEQihOXrVS7K7kNL9g6d4QZaea8c1GfwLU9jHRL8WKkJmDYbvH1jQm/s200/2011-04-30_11-59-42_102.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606979360925027330" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Side View without kids<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1uOqfuV2EZbVYMq28I53BIqpHc8v2UujWoLNN-FBRc6PNQUTE95oKdSar_JLwZ1D-ddUfmrkVJrerZs22eKNeu_cHDAaOkIt92bHLLN-fevG-TNMZahHokMnPn1N8nb6EwwYp2qgo6AfQ/s1600/2011-04-30_12-37-49_976.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1uOqfuV2EZbVYMq28I53BIqpHc8v2UujWoLNN-FBRc6PNQUTE95oKdSar_JLwZ1D-ddUfmrkVJrerZs22eKNeu_cHDAaOkIt92bHLLN-fevG-TNMZahHokMnPn1N8nb6EwwYp2qgo6AfQ/s200/2011-04-30_12-37-49_976.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606979366374249474" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I took this picture from the front passenger seat.

It was pretty fun, they had lots of eggs set out, so all the kids would be sure and get some eggs. The downside to the hunt was that it was FREEZING! Seriously, it was so cold and the wind was blowing like CRAZY!! So, waiting for the hunt to begin was pretty rough, but they had fun looking for eggs, so I guess it's all worth it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2drheXCuVqTLa0KKsaIWZAa5WvhKBGu8BPezzPiCQpCMikB_HzIqDaOKu9U3hcvONewyl3An-LnLgT-bqZPF83AHQtkZEc9CYCWMB0mlS2Eu5Xd8icehO7OTwjsS3Zd-ID7r7U-Wac_U1/s1600/2011-04-16_10-47-31_645.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2drheXCuVqTLa0KKsaIWZAa5WvhKBGu8BPezzPiCQpCMikB_HzIqDaOKu9U3hcvONewyl3An-LnLgT-bqZPF83AHQtkZEc9CYCWMB0mlS2Eu5Xd8icehO7OTwjsS3Zd-ID7r7U-Wac_U1/s200/2011-04-16_10-47-31_645.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606967642321124754" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The girls, shivering in the cold<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL8KOhUdJnlsT62QivF3FiZIk6EHXeWfcdVR6-rpezFsjFABxnIes1OZ_sYBQFed4jaCSYrP17tEmnC17mEXtjG_-ZfXNR4h5joXV-4fVR7WHRObDD1WVm3bOfNSgb8OK4-YaMzyILC_k5/s1600/2011-04-16_11-06-27_619.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL8KOhUdJnlsT62QivF3FiZIk6EHXeWfcdVR6-rpezFsjFABxnIes1OZ_sYBQFed4jaCSYrP17tEmnC17mEXtjG_-ZfXNR4h5joXV-4fVR7WHRObDD1WVm3bOfNSgb8OK4-YaMzyILC_k5/s200/2011-04-16_11-06-27_619.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606967648390900082" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Peyton, cold and a little ornery<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxM7hF1XE3uLNuv-h57IC8Sp3ov63SLCAOgMXNbxh8tPpuqn_aM-_F6GQHFcXCddKBZKel8tLH6UJ1qbIy7jg-Jckjinw0wlImbQn5lqJLnc9lc1nSQxQ51trHCreYFKgPZIFkbzVmaq2/s1600/2011-04-16_11-06-46_245.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxM7hF1XE3uLNuv-h57IC8Sp3ov63SLCAOgMXNbxh8tPpuqn_aM-_F6GQHFcXCddKBZKel8tLH6UJ1qbIy7jg-Jckjinw0wlImbQn5lqJLnc9lc1nSQxQ51trHCreYFKgPZIFkbzVmaq2/s200/2011-04-16_11-06-46_245.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606967653275512658" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Callie, scrambling to find her eggs!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpWV3nnnSX61-pmuLCHXtt5it6EFJjZmgnEo0jhH3CZY6oU9LKj0Nif6Qq-cyrtwPehSjUqqqD2Qxd4oshL9Jqm4vHh53_u7gqpOo2g0T-90pmtelQy2fIbgZi28VGIj7lkW1LTzQKZnxY/s1600/2011-04-16_11-06-53_675.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpWV3nnnSX61-pmuLCHXtt5it6EFJjZmgnEo0jhH3CZY6oU9LKj0Nif6Qq-cyrtwPehSjUqqqD2Qxd4oshL9Jqm4vHh53_u7gqpOo2g0T-90pmtelQy2fIbgZi28VGIj7lkW1LTzQKZnxY/s200/2011-04-16_11-06-53_675.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606967658135693682" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Peyton with her loot<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUK7F9xKoSbVBKAEoHETkbLTptHzJsrVb7cLu8m1W_8zrVON4ETCQIXX_K1gMq3wGmw7R71NSHLIlZB-lCcvfQTEyovOoUzMt8cAVBmMuZ7qEx6K3LGACsLw5hwrr7WaDGVQJSKZGxpdq/s1600/2011-04-16_11-07-28_683.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUK7F9xKoSbVBKAEoHETkbLTptHzJsrVb7cLu8m1W_8zrVON4ETCQIXX_K1gMq3wGmw7R71NSHLIlZB-lCcvfQTEyovOoUzMt8cAVBmMuZ7qEx6K3LGACsLw5hwrr7WaDGVQJSKZGxpdq/s200/2011-04-16_11-07-28_683.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606967670070066514" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Callie found a lot of eggs!Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295035188497673471.post-3394504011738640922011-04-06T22:21:00.000-07:002011-04-06T22:27:45.081-07:00Doctor StatsI have decided to enroll Callie in kindergarten for this upcoming school year. She is going to be quite young, but I think she will do fine. Socially, she will be right there no problem. She is a little small, but athletics isn't really her thing and academically she is good to go. Anyway, we are trying to choice into Chester, and we are currently in there, but they can deny us admission until October 15, so we are crossing our fingers!! Anyway, I took Callie to get her kindergarten shots when Connor had his six month check-up. Two birds, one stone. Anyway, every day for the week before, she would say, "what day is it Mommy?" I would answer with the appropriate day then she would say, "ooooh, Monday is coming soon, and then I am going to have to get my kindergarten shots!" said with much moaning and trepidation. However, she was a trooper and did a great job. She was rewarded with five stickers and a milkshake. She was so sweet and even made sure she got stickers for Peyton. Always looking out for her sister! The stats are as follows: Callie, four and a half years old; 37 pounds-50% 42" tall-50% BP 80/46 (guess thats ok for a 4 yr old) Connor, six months old; 21lb 1 oz-95% 28"-90% Head 44 1/2 cm The question is, at what point will Connor be the same size as Callie? I would say by his second birthday!Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295035188497673471.post-21629247347732517842011-04-06T22:15:00.000-07:002011-04-06T22:21:32.284-07:00Learning to Sit<div><br /><div><br /><div>So, I have really been trying to get Con-Man to sit, but have been having a hard time. Part of that might be attributed to the fact that he has quite a big belly. So, he doesn't have the best balance, so my awesome friend loaned me her baby seat, which her two year old daughter can still sit in, but Con is squeezed in there. Seriously, I have to pull it off his tush. But he loves it! He watched a movie with the girls while I cleaned the kitchen. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9m-1p3sO9N8IqPE0pBcm9X4t2-qeTqtK38l6SVpX-QuwiOOH6KtxeY_lFKj0Y_fMotZIIFQfgGkwS1mWuZPuXwDaW9IwtbkoV_gTfFIorQ7mZpKCBC6utny2FHJplZfQjWFe-nGc14H1/s1600/CIMG1739.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592707151003428498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9m-1p3sO9N8IqPE0pBcm9X4t2-qeTqtK38l6SVpX-QuwiOOH6KtxeY_lFKj0Y_fMotZIIFQfgGkwS1mWuZPuXwDaW9IwtbkoV_gTfFIorQ7mZpKCBC6utny2FHJplZfQjWFe-nGc14H1/s200/CIMG1739.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Happy Guy!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAJsHvDGcKG-olnmG0x25pKXCWCQ2FHL6ZnpZnDaUSIHyJW0aQawE4gHhyphenhyphenFitgbSHSiDMeH5X5_pGWyvnM_5m40sZFdnTE84eXf33x1eCD4QQ3-j5l446QzIO6QGA25qAPZKc-b0IrLOX-/s1600/CIMG1740.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592707155488031186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAJsHvDGcKG-olnmG0x25pKXCWCQ2FHL6ZnpZnDaUSIHyJW0aQawE4gHhyphenhyphenFitgbSHSiDMeH5X5_pGWyvnM_5m40sZFdnTE84eXf33x1eCD4QQ3-j5l446QzIO6QGA25qAPZKc-b0IrLOX-/s200/CIMG1740.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Another picture Mom?</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhsq-_7Pw9j9r2VgPmwqVCtzClOhMpc0OoILiKl0SP1RHTn8shsmwMSwZg1EJa3EhuuuLHVL13jSIqTakF4GbgJ1X63Ii9LCjxGPLMehuAQtUatnYiiFs06RjA_T8Y6ISQL5g4WhHtY7j3/s1600/CIMG1741.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592707157059614754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhsq-_7Pw9j9r2VgPmwqVCtzClOhMpc0OoILiKl0SP1RHTn8shsmwMSwZg1EJa3EhuuuLHVL13jSIqTakF4GbgJ1X63Ii9LCjxGPLMehuAQtUatnYiiFs06RjA_T8Y6ISQL5g4WhHtY7j3/s200/CIMG1741.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Just going to watch my show, thanks!</div></div></div>Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295035188497673471.post-30547521624056932652011-04-06T22:08:00.000-07:002011-04-06T22:15:51.432-07:00Giddyup Horsey<div><br /><div><br /><div>My girls love their rocking horses. We had one that I think we got at a garage sale or something and then a friend of mine pawned hers off on us, insisting that we needed it. Turns out, its a good thing we have two! So, Peyton will always yell, "Giddyup" sometimes on the horse, sometimes not. So, my mom and dad were in Montana a couple of weeks ago and my mom was sure the girls would love cowgirl hats, so she brought them back for the girls.

So, we went out on Friday night and spent the night. When we got there, Peyton of course, wanted to chase after the kitty. So, my mom, being the good sport that she is, helped Peyton get the cat and helped her hold it and pet it, etc. See, her mommy hates cats and won't do that for her. However, getting back on point, so, the cat ran away and then Peyton managed to catch it again, and she was standing on the sidewalk and she looked just like my little brother Ty did at around the same age when he had finally caught one of the cats. So, I of course, ran for my camera and said, "smile!" So Peyton said, "smile, kitty!" Oh my goodness, I about peed my pants I was laughing so hard. So, after the photo session and the kitty smiling for the camera, Peyton and Callie went and helped Gigi feed the cats.<br /><br />It's nice the girls get to enjoy time with the cats and Gigi and Papa's house, because their mother refuses to own them!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0zBUtU5uub6v3QxDVhx8Xg5SYtK1kBun2VO7w8uloadca0lyX6S0XjvnUmSgu1ymme8pZMNC1O5De1_XI2iNpk2Tos2ntRQV4GzbiZA9SKpPop3YM-i8_bzGbXLRSSyVbl7qIEtZdpmw/s1600/CIMG1575.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0zBUtU5uub6v3QxDVhx8Xg5SYtK1kBun2VO7w8uloadca0lyX6S0XjvnUmSgu1ymme8pZMNC1O5De1_XI2iNpk2Tos2ntRQV4GzbiZA9SKpPop3YM-i8_bzGbXLRSSyVbl7qIEtZdpmw/s200/CIMG1575.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588585035501373682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQONWuMR-xQY6Y3GNIBw9L1bJdhmvo7hWOxqawKIpXqc-6j6WbVDw8O-3gI3a6QLVvirB1lrnYSuEIvD3Uje9Z8-tEXoVk0A7Iz1qbHxKsGkZQNaZp3PriEOpk0sBnCStRcPlzXZH6-RV/s1600/CIMG1576.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQONWuMR-xQY6Y3GNIBw9L1bJdhmvo7hWOxqawKIpXqc-6j6WbVDw8O-3gI3a6QLVvirB1lrnYSuEIvD3Uje9Z8-tEXoVk0A7Iz1qbHxKsGkZQNaZp3PriEOpk0sBnCStRcPlzXZH6-RV/s200/CIMG1576.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588585049334442578" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBr5NtR4-c7qqc6PKcgwD63cV_EMZffrx75w_5Ud7t_s96X-L6yKKlJ63bIZcLkdyWMZ_G98dIDzsUy8JG80TYHWJ9Lgq8Q_niQWFQVqY3ww-btpXtYCFyLykoKaUdH9zjib_7ZDiAN_wX/s1600/CIMG1578.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBr5NtR4-c7qqc6PKcgwD63cV_EMZffrx75w_5Ud7t_s96X-L6yKKlJ63bIZcLkdyWMZ_G98dIDzsUy8JG80TYHWJ9Lgq8Q_niQWFQVqY3ww-btpXtYCFyLykoKaUdH9zjib_7ZDiAN_wX/s200/CIMG1578.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588585069742793154" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJc-8GZntbYRGyfeT_qnxxFyeksjP673rm39OEq_l42-fYVw-fCi80Fo1bcMwpPYnL_vWSbTmmpbaovl2Pd1JM4SGizg72biQGeetyuV82N6Zn4cRP8i7Qq3136Mw9RulduAVY7yGbbdiF/s1600/CIMG1580.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 137px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJc-8GZntbYRGyfeT_qnxxFyeksjP673rm39OEq_l42-fYVw-fCi80Fo1bcMwpPYnL_vWSbTmmpbaovl2Pd1JM4SGizg72biQGeetyuV82N6Zn4cRP8i7Qq3136Mw9RulduAVY7yGbbdiF/s200/CIMG1580.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588585084860465202" border="0" /></a>Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295035188497673471.post-52057981478270806382011-03-15T08:48:00.001-07:002011-03-15T08:52:11.295-07:00Gaggle of ChicksSo, I know that most of you have heard of Groupon, but have you heard of Gaggle of Chicks?

She bore her testimony during Sacrament meeting today. She asked me, "Mom, can I go up there?" I asked her if she knew what she was going to say, and she said yes. So, she had to wait for one person, but they she walked up there by herself and with the aid of Brother Zorich, she gave her testimony about the church and that she loved her family, her daddy, and her friends. Of course, I cried, but I was so proud of her. She has been asking a lot of questions about our Savior and I am trying to answer her the best I can, and sometimes she is really confused, or concerned, but I know she is trying to understand, and I can't ask for more than that as a Mommy! </span>Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295035188497673471.post-87931621524238135102011-03-06T09:38:00.000-08:002011-03-06T11:00:01.965-08:00Crazy Crew<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVx-2yg78HwclUIJt7K321S6Aw6hvM3KB4hhHVQKg-uH3oeb5z8bncqWhjnSuYwlfwlIsHa4NFXjFk6M_orjkwOcOyjKL08CafMyAQYTkOSjyL9d_oAmfUALAVpanZ8MASyECS-Z2NjAmI/s1600/CIMG1520.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVx-2yg78HwclUIJt7K321S6Aw6hvM3KB4hhHVQKg-uH3oeb5z8bncqWhjnSuYwlfwlIsHa4NFXjFk6M_orjkwOcOyjKL08CafMyAQYTkOSjyL9d_oAmfUALAVpanZ8MASyECS-Z2NjAmI/s200/CIMG1520.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581033296655559618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">So, I wanted to post a few pictures from the last little while.

But he is so cute!! And such a chunk. My little man is weighing in just shy of 20 lbs at 5 months. I see football in our future.....<br /><br />Thanks for obliging me in the bragging of my children. Can't help, I think they are pretty great.<br />A little update on everyone:<br /><br />Ryan: In Boise working toward his LPN, he is doing great, getting A's and really working hard. He just found a job, so that is a bonus and he gets to come home and visit on Friday!! We are so excited to see him!!!!<br /><br />Abby: Staying home with the three crazies. I still work at Shopko pharmacy once a month and I was babysitting, but it proved to be a little more than I could handle. I still work in YW and love it.<br /><br />Callie: She started pre-school last September and absolutely loves it!! She goes to Ms. Rita and Ms. Kara and is doing so well. She plays with her good friend Madden quite a bit, they love to have playdates. For some reason she is quite concerned about getting married, so I told her that she needed to find someone to love, and she said, "I love Madden!" Well, we loved Madden too, but then I told her she needed to wait until she was big like Aunt Molly. So, that delayed the marriage talk for a whole day. Gee, can't wait until she's 16 :) She takes dances classes and quite likes them and actually does pretty good. She concentrates and really tries to follow the moves. She loves being a big sister and loves to help me take care of Connor. Her best quote as of late was when she spent the night at Gigi's house and found the candy dish and she said to my mom, "Peyton deserves two treats because she went potty in the toilet. I deserve two treats because I smiled." Love it.<br /><br />Peyton: Is two and half. Truly. She wants to do everything that Callie does and be big like her. The first time we dropped Callie off at school after being gone in California, Peyton didn't say anything, but I looked at her and she just had tears running down her face. She loves Callie but at the same time knows just what to do to make her really angry. She is recently potty trained and I am so proud of her. She LOVES Dora. A lot. She also loves to dress up in the princess dresses and play with the tea set. When I do my exercise videos, she is right there with me, trying her hardest to do the exercises too. She is a bit of a mischeif maker sometimes, ok, a lot. The other day, she inhaled seven of the ten packages of fruit snacks she had snuck out of the pantry. And she cut her hair. In the front. Bummer, huh. Oh well, it is growing out. She didn't talk at all until after Connor was born, but now, she never stops! I can't believe I was so concerned.<br /><br />Connor: My little man is a very good baby, he gives the best smiles and has such a happy disposition. He loves the girls and he loves to be around the commotion. He actually gets the most upset when it is all quiet, because he loves the noise. He is growing like crazy and has started eating solid foods, well, baby food, and pretty much eats what I give him. Love him!<br /><br />We are a crazy house, but it's a good crazy, usually. Blessed to have such a wonderful family!<br /></span>Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295035188497673471.post-89804327226673657642011-01-31T14:02:00.000-08:002011-01-31T15:38:27.642-08:002010 IN A NUTSHELLAs I reach the one year anniversary of my last post, I feel inspired to update my fans, ok, mainly my mother as to the events of our life this past year. I have been informed on several occasions that a lot has happened so I should update. Again, thanks Mom!<br /><br />February:<br />We found out we were going to have another baby!! So excited!! My brother John and his wife Emily had a baby, finally making me an aunt! We went to Rexburg for the blessing and had a really nice time.<br /><br />March: I GOT TO GO TO NEW YORK!!!! Oh my goodness, had so much on my girls trip with my sisters and mom. Ryan's parents came and helped him with the girls while I visited the city. We went all over town, sightseeing, eating, shopping, eating, shopping and had a great time. We celebrated six years of marriage, and bought a minivan. With the upcoming birth of number 3 and all of the babysitting that I do, the Rodeo just wasn't cutting the mustard. So Ryan bought the car while I was in New York. With my blessing. I hate car shopping. With a passion.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSizjKylZDiygeLs2TErexld12VtsraWgeK5kHl56FBnyYjDGJsCrauI5mmhDhR3JI1hzxNioh2EWwX7cD9ZBNbx9gTLIBfVrhMZKPhyZj5u__oph5UxT7j3nTU3yGS3ZHelwElAlz5L91/s1600/CIMG0602.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSizjKylZDiygeLs2TErexld12VtsraWgeK5kHl56FBnyYjDGJsCrauI5mmhDhR3JI1hzxNioh2EWwX7cD9ZBNbx9gTLIBfVrhMZKPhyZj5u__oph5UxT7j3nTU3yGS3ZHelwElAlz5L91/s200/CIMG0602.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568498143725862066" border="0" /></a><br /><br />April: Easter. Thats about it. Slow month, but my recollection a mere 9 months later may be fuzzy.<br /><br />May: We took a family trip to see Ryan's family in California. Callie got to go to Disneyland for the first time and LOVED IT!! We had a lot of fun at the Magic Kingdom, truly is magical! We found out number 3 was going to be a BOY!!!! Ryan smiled for like a week. Seriously, so excited for a son! I also ran a half marathon, it was awesome. I ran with my good friends Shannan and Emily who were so patient to run with a pregnant chick, but I had such a great time and am so glad that I did it.<br /><br />June: Aunt Molly graduated from high school, last of my siblings to leave Freeman. FYI, the best high school graduation I have ever been to. Air conditioning, cushioned seats and short. Thank you class of 2010, the audience appreciates it. All of my siblings with the exception of Ty, because he is in Zimbabwe, all came home for Molly's big event, so we had a great time getting together and visiting, etc.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-mKnk2ap2DCck3pQzL2wMKgMZhewHBTBtqPHnk3rAE6D8kfKWbP2c14NVw2rA8RwtRu5Hkmp9jQqrcH63ZQ3dcJ3UyoVGgatwcoqHg3pVTmjj0u3Mbi5pAHmJsDriXL7RUHOfz_2HFkKB/s1600/CIMG0870.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-mKnk2ap2DCck3pQzL2wMKgMZhewHBTBtqPHnk3rAE6D8kfKWbP2c14NVw2rA8RwtRu5Hkmp9jQqrcH63ZQ3dcJ3UyoVGgatwcoqHg3pVTmjj0u3Mbi5pAHmJsDriXL7RUHOfz_2HFkKB/s200/CIMG0870.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568498148237437538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />July: Ryan celebrated his birthday, 31.

I went to Girls Camp as a Third Year Assistant Level Leader and had a great time. Even with my gigantic stomach, seriously, HUGE, I enjoyed camp, the girls and the other lovely ladies I worked with. There is something special at Girls Camp, a feeling that you don't get many other places. The chance to feel the spirit and be close to your Savior surrounded by His creations. Truly amazing. Molly left for college. Maybe it was in September, can't remember all that well, but we were sad to see her go, but excited to watch her begin this new chapter in her life.<br /><br />September: Peyton turned 2. Connor James Christensen was born September 25. He was 8lb 6oz and 21 inches. My biggest baby, but everything went smoothly with no complications and we loved him immediately. The girls loved him right from the beginning, even Peyton who I was a little worried about! Callie started pre-school with Teacher Rita and Teacher Kara and loved it right away. Peyton was very sad to see her best friend leave three days a week, she missed Callie and wanted to go with her, but needs to wait her turn! Callie also started dance, which my little drama queen loves.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtBO8CeNxNCYkeZnRi0reuwTBk-2oro6tcfEOY4p2gWfqfsGlMHFXiXYOCY4OpUkElItERgnP8vPfy6nbPx3YJjC3nHfPzfsTKgZetUqpOJLx1dWQcphWBwlbp2BsoGU74ZoBPsbKL5ecq/s1600/CIMG0929.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtBO8CeNxNCYkeZnRi0reuwTBk-2oro6tcfEOY4p2gWfqfsGlMHFXiXYOCY4OpUkElItERgnP8vPfy6nbPx3YJjC3nHfPzfsTKgZetUqpOJLx1dWQcphWBwlbp2BsoGU74ZoBPsbKL5ecq/s200/CIMG0929.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568489932248516130" border="0" /></a><br /><br />October: Peyton finally started talking. Incredible. Now she doesn't stop. Ever. And my mom passed the Washington Bar. This is a picture of her swearing in at Gonzaga Law. We are all so proud of her and her accomplishments.

John, Molly and my Uncle David and Aunt Donna were able to be there. Kip and Emily tried to get there, but just missed it, I think we were running a little early at church that day. Jane and Joe and Beau and Kelsey came home for Thanksgiving and we had so much fun. Got some family photos taken by the incredible Randi. Of course, Black Friday shopping was amazing as usual. My sweet Grandma watched the girls for me so we could make it to Target by 4 am. She truly is the best! We also enjoyed a record breaking snowfall for the month of November. Lucky us.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZSi76E6NCnsQxrWF4lFOsPITh_kCV-Nk1eEUkZKAaKw5LJFCjJQe3SthnIb1bjGTx1GU-24HiN6oRl6dnXBpcoAz_c4qQg6jlZLEAsW8dRxgqMfoaSnHgS5EHjylKIXSAcZaFI-luOQr/s1600/CIMG1118.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZSi76E6NCnsQxrWF4lFOsPITh_kCV-Nk1eEUkZKAaKw5LJFCjJQe3SthnIb1bjGTx1GU-24HiN6oRl6dnXBpcoAz_c4qQg6jlZLEAsW8dRxgqMfoaSnHgS5EHjylKIXSAcZaFI-luOQr/s200/CIMG1118.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568495921513954674" border="0" /></a><br /><br />December: We celebrated the birth of our Savior and spent time with family over Christmas. We all went out to the farm and spent a few days with family. We ate, watched movies, played the Wii and enjoyed spending time together. Callie had her first dance recital and did a fantastic job.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOMjNWTb2tT3V7KiesxRFojWr5nSoxJKQCtJ-JNJs1eQqNEDmlfoU8dTqMVEmLJfUUlgKVIQslyBqpCJ849FqXQmL6QEay6ed4hQZcN3UuU8dpZtIat7CE-z6nkSDdXu-gqVHngEYIrMQ9/s1600/CIMG1176.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOMjNWTb2tT3V7KiesxRFojWr5nSoxJKQCtJ-JNJs1eQqNEDmlfoU8dTqMVEmLJfUUlgKVIQslyBqpCJ849FqXQmL6QEay6ed4hQZcN3UuU8dpZtIat7CE-z6nkSDdXu-gqVHngEYIrMQ9/s200/CIMG1176.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568495940225747602" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN2lTAUOcurmta3-Pni4UC2Tai8D7taNQ1aAqOpKxXqPDBwGa6o7fYr5Q5rxZkJEMxyw3s8tas6jNSN3ySALeBOMbhvfj18uOcv-HsooV4Lks6FSoHpUWYKctBhgl2X94K-v19pnp-B9wk/s1600/CIMG1338.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN2lTAUOcurmta3-Pni4UC2Tai8D7taNQ1aAqOpKxXqPDBwGa6o7fYr5Q5rxZkJEMxyw3s8tas6jNSN3ySALeBOMbhvfj18uOcv-HsooV4Lks6FSoHpUWYKctBhgl2X94K-v19pnp-B9wk/s200/CIMG1338.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568495933810522354" border="0" /></a><br />January: We took another family trip to California to go to Disneyland. This time, my mom and both my sisters joined us. We had so much fun. My dad decided to not go, so there were eight of us and we decided that we could all squeeze into the van. Yes, you are doing the math correctly, eight people, seven passenger van. Plus stuff. However, we managed to squeeze everything and everyone into the car and drove through the frigid cold to Utah where we picked up Jane and traversed the rest of the journey in the warming temperatures to California. We spent three days at Disneyland, one day at the San Diego Zoo and the girls went shopping one day. Ryan and my mom also did a deep sea fishing expedition. Mom decided that she enjoyed the water, but not necessarily in the cold doing some fishing. Callie is a roller coaster, theme park junkie. I think I will do a separate post about D-land. We also had a major family change last week. Ryan was accepted to begin a nursing program in Boise, Idaho, so he started last Monday for the 11 month program. He will be living in Boise, and the kids and I are staying in Spokane, with Ryan coming home when it is possible. Hard adjustment and we miss him, but he is doing a good thing for our family and the reward is worth the sacrifice.Abby Christensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18365728971316915850noreply@blogger.com1
