We had a great visit with the Christiansen side of the family. Grandma Christiansen was of course the hit, with her wonderful home and all the presents she got for everyone. There are not too many people in this world as special as that Lady I tell you what!!!! Aunt Amy and Aunt Dawn were looking fabulous as ever, Dawn has the "expecting" glow with a new baby coming in the spring/summer. Amy watched Ashlen for us one night while we ventured the snowy city lights and fun time shopping. All the cousins love each other so much and they all have grown up since last time we saw them. It is fun to get toegther. We went to visit Angela and her cute girls right before Christmas. My kids love Olivia and Gracie. Olivia slept with me everynight, she is so fun to snuggle. Gracie was a hit with all her "rolls". We had our 5th annual ski trip to Utah. The weather this time was very cold, snowy and windy, but that didn't stop us one bit!!!! The kids had a blast and got so much better on their boards!!!
Look at those little shredders! Man, we sure wish we could have joined you. Next year is the year we go to my mom's for Christmas so we will just have to PLAN ON skiing with the Christiansens!
I think I have hair on my chest" (Austen's observation of himself while swimming)
"All dad does at work is fire people and sign checks" (Peyten wondering why dad can't come home early from work)
"My shoulder hurts from playing the Wii" (Peyten said this as he was stretching with the golf club before hitting balls at the driving range).
"I wish everything tasted as good as french toast" (a random observation from Peyten on the way to school this morning) 6-03-08
"Are all sign language people short?" (peyten said this after seeing a rather short person signing) 6-22-08
"If I drink anymore of that lemonade i'm going to have to urimate" (peyten said this when we were golfing) 7-21-08
"I'd rather get a shot than go back to school" (Peyten said this on his way to school after the 8 day break from Hurricane Ike) 9-24-08
"Mom are you glad you have cool kids?" (Peyten again) 9-28-08
"Did you know that my Dad rode the 'short bus' when he was a kid?" (Peyten said this to our neighbor boys when I was driving them home from school, totally not true, or is it?) 10-27-08
Peyten was talking to me about a rating on a video game and he said, "Mom, it's not really that bad of a rated 'M' game, it just has intense violence, blood and gore."( guess I should buy it then, don't want him to miss out on all that fun)
"I need my hair cut, my catholic looks funny" ( Peyten meant his cowlick or however you spell it.)
Lauren said this during Thanksgiving while all the women were in the kitchen and the men were on their arse's watching TV. "I would hate to be a pilgrim and make Thanksgiving dinner, unless I was a guy, they don't do anything." Amen sister!!!
Ashlen started a baby Ballet class yesterday and I was telling the kids about it and Peyten said, "SO she's going to be one of those flexible chicks?"
Ashlen said, "oh crap". We all crack up when she says it.
Ashlen sticks out her bottom and says, "look at my cute butt."
"You're the meanest mom ever, probably meaner than the devil's mom ". (Does the devil have a mom?) (Peyten said this cause I wouldn't take him to get a new video game, he didn't have any money and I wasn't about to spend my money)
Peyten got into the car after school the other day and said, "I'm starving, will you make me top ramen, a chocolate shake and 9 strips of bacon?" (Yummy)
Ashlen says, "fart yard" instead of "front yard".
Peyten told me that I need to start getting Ashlen blue things instead of Pink, when I asked why he said, "cause she is turning into a girl." (hmmmmmm)
Peyten called me on my cell phone to ask if he could watch WWF (wrestling) on TV if he promised not to practice the moves on Ashlen.

You little shits! :) You didn't even stop to say hi. We have Snowbasin passes and could've met you up there! It's ok, it's a family thing.
ps (little shit is said with all sorts of fond affection)
I am still totally loving Lauren's ski pants. What were your boys doing to my baby when I wasn't looking?!
We were somewhere the other day and Olivia points to this lady and says, "That looks like Ashlen's mommy." I guess she thought she looked like you.
Nice to see the old Christiansen side of the family. Its been way too long. Wishing everyone a wonderful 2009.
