First Dentist Appointment

So Kaden and Chloe had their first dentist appointment today. I was not looking forward to it. I asked my Dad to come along so he could hold one child while I pinned the other one down to the chair. Well to my surprise Kaded jumped up on the big chair and let them stick those things in his mouth to take the x rays and he just sat there and didn't move and didn't even try to pull them out. I can barely stand those things and he did way better than I ever did. Then we walked into the other room where the cute bright colored chairs were so they could clean his teeth. I got ready to hold his hands down and try to help calm him down, and once again, no need for mom. He laid back in the chair and watched his movie the whole time! (They have these cool little televisions in the celing and head phones for them to wear so the kids can watch a movie while they work. Greatest Idea ever!! Where were those when I was a kid?) He didn't move whine, cry or try to get up the whole time. He was so perfect I couldn't believe it. Well Chloe on the other hand the second we walked back there she gripped my shirt and started crying and wouldn't let go. The best we could do for her was to just lay her in my lap while the dentist just looked at her teeth and checked them out a little. They both checked out with great teeth! There favorite part was picking out a new toothbrush. Kaden of course picked blue! and Chloe just grabbed the one that was closest to her so she could get out of there as soon as possible!

New Job, New Car!

Well I'm a little late but Derek finally got a new job! He is a food broker for Acosta. Don't ask me what that is I'm not really sure, but he loves it. I know he goes to different associated food stores and does stuff with the specialty foods and natural foods. He has a great boss and good people that he works with. We will have great benefits after 30 days, and the best part about it for Derek is he got a new car!! His company pays up to $250 a month for a car allowance for wear and tear and maintenance but will only give that benefit if the car is less than 7 years old. So we got to go out and buy a great new car and his company makes the car payment, doesn't get any better than that! :) We got a 2007 Hundai Sonata, it looks black in the picture but it is a dark blue and it sparkles in the sun :) its a great car and Derek loves driving it.

I also just needed to add a couple pictures of what Kaden and Chloe did to entertain themselves while I was resting trying to get rid of a headache.

If you couldn't tell that is my mascara. And as you can see Kaden did the most of it, Chloe just got a little on her cheek and in her hair but Kaden went to town! He thought he looked "pitty" That on top of their pajamas and morning hair (especially Chloes mess on her head) they sure did look so "pitty"

It was bound to Happen

Our first broken bone! :( I knew Chloe would be the first, she is fearless and loves to climb. Yesterday Chloe was sitting on the counter next to me while I made her sandwich like I do everyday. (She is obsessed with watching me make her food, like she has to see it to believe she is getting fed) and in a split second I turned to talk to Kaden and out of the corner of my eye I saw her reach for her toy on the floor and jump for it. Yikes, she screamed so loud, and wouldn't put any pressure on her leg and wouldn't stand up. I thought we would wait a day to see how she was doing the next day since she didn't seem to be bothered by it unless she tried to stand up. But today she still wouldn't put any pressure on it so we took her in and sure enough the Tibia is broken right above her ankle. I felt horrible, poor thing hated the x-rays and when they were putting on her temporary cast she was not happy. It was funny though, when the nurse got done wrapping it, Chloe reached up to her for a hug, but quickly changed her mind and wanted mommy back. We will go back in about a week to have a real cast put on, that's not going to be fun.

Take a walk down memory lane...

Follow the instructions :)

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember--it can be funny, weird, awkward, random, etc.!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

A little update!

Ok so I have been extreamly busy lately and haven't put a post on here for a while, but I finally found some time. So this may be a lot of blabbering but just wanted to write a few things about what we have been doing.

Last month we went up to my Mom and Dads condo in Park City and went swimming a lot. My kids are usually a little afraid of the water, and Kaden was a little hesitant at first but then I got him this little star intertube thing and he got inside and didn't get out the whole time! He loved it, he started jumping in the water and trying to take off on his own. It was like he had no fear when he was in his star! Chloe is still pretty scared, she wouldn't even go near the water without screaming. We got her to get in her boat for a few min, but as soon as she got splashed she was done. She also sat in the water with the kids for a cute picture, but that didn't last very long either. It was lots of fun getting away for a couple days to just relax and swim.

For the 4th of July, we went to the Kaysville parade, Kaden had fun, but it was funny because he wouldn't go in the street to get the candy unless Dad or Mom was holding his hand because there were "scarey cars" such a good little boy! Chloe just pretty much sat back in her chair and enjoyed the candy Kaden would bring her. That night we went to Layton park and played games and watched the fireworks.

Also my sister Chelsi found out that she is having a boy!! They are so excited! She is due December 15th. I can't wait, she is going to make an excellent mom, she is already a great Aunt to my kids. It will be fun to have a new baby around to squeeze. My kids are getting so big so fast I can hardly believe it. The other day we were up at Mueller Park roasting hot dogs and Kaden just wanted to roam off on his own and do everything that Derek did. He followed him into the trees to gather wood for the fire and he wanted to roast his own hotdog, and even offered to go down to the stream to get the watermelon for Grandma to cut! His new favorite phrase is "I do it myself!" and there is no use trying to help him or it will take twice as long because he will have to go back and do it again himself :)

We went to see the fireworks the other night for the 24th, I love fireworks, they are just amazing to me, my kids also love them and just stare at them in amazement. Chloe was funny she kept calling them bubbles, and Kaden would just clap and laugh with his cousins and yell out the colors of the fireworks, it was so fun to watch.

Also, my brother and sister in law had their baby boy! I am a little behind cause he was born last month but I wanted to put his cute picture up. They named him Brennan Guy Christiansen, can't wait to meet him!

Smart Little Boy!

So Kaden has said some very funny things lately that just totally shocked me or made me laugh and since I am terrible at remembering them or writing them down I thought I would share them with all of you so I would have them written down somewhere.
So the other day Kaden was sitting on the couch and turns to Derek and says "Daddy, I boted" To make sure he knew what he was saying Derek said "you're bloated huh?" and Kaden moaned back "yeah." Then later that day when they were watching TV Derek was watching Harrison Ford on a talk show and Kaden looked him in the eye and said "Daddy this bowing! (boring)" One day he was sitting on my lap and said "I wanna play with your hair" as he starting playing with it, he said "I like it, it pitty." Then today outside he was playing and running and jumping and he just looked so grown up so I said to him Kaden you are just getting too big! and he said to me "No I not big, I little!" Also as he was playing outside he saw a few bugs, and he went up close to one and looked at it really studying it and then jumped back and screamed "Ahhh, Bider(spider) eat me!" Where do they get this stuff?
