My Trip to the Hospital By Alex

Yesterday I was sick. My tummy hurt so bad that I had to go to the emergency room. They gave me a wrist band and a blanket. Then the doctor comed. He talked to me about my stomach. Then they had to give me a IV. Then they gave me medicine. Then somebody nice gave me rootbeer to drink. Then somebody took some pictures of my inside. Then I took a nap to the CAT Scan. Then I rode a wheelchair back. Then I had to wait to finish. Then it was over. Someone nice wrapped my arm in a big bandage. And I getted to drink my rootbeer. And I getted to eat my suckers. Then I goed home. Then the next day I feeled better. The End.

(Alex is doing well. We're supposed to keep an eye on him today, but it looks like it's not appendicitis. Yeah!)

Camping

This past Friday was the Father Sons Camp out. However, since Ethan had Cub Scout Camp bright and early Saturday morning (6:30 am) the boys couldn't go this year. Aaron set up a tent in the backyard. Ethan, Alex, and Drew slept out all night. Ethan did comment that if he rolled off of his sleeping bag in the night the ground was a little hard :). The boys had a great time! Aaron took the pictures once the boys were asleep. However, E woke up to the flash!

Elder Christensen

Jeff left for the MTC on Wednesday. It was great having the entire Christensen Clan together before he left! It was awesome being able to go with him to the MTC. Same movie as when Wong went in. We were down in Provo today, so we drove past the MTC to show the boys where Jeff was. Unfortunately, no accidental spotting of Julio. Alex made a book for Jeff today. The first page said, "Jeff as a Missionary by Alex." He drew a picture of Jeff in a suit and tie with him. Pages 2-4 had pictures of Jones teaching different people. Page 2 said "God is true." Page 3 "Jesus will come again." Page 4 "Jesus died for us." Alex did this all by himself. It was so awesome to see Alex's testimony developing. It was in the mail by 8:00 am, so hopefully Jones will get it Monday.

Happy 2nd Birthday Peyton!

Peyton turned 2 years old yesterday! It is so hard to believe. However, he loves being a big boy. He has been potty trained for almost a month now. He even stays dry during naps and through the night. He speaks in sentences and has the cutest inflections! He was very specific on his birthday party. He wanted a "ham and doughnut party." He loved his "ham party." Yesterday we went to Build a Bear and he picked a puppy. We love our Peyton!

Personalized Plates

I always assumed personalized plates were really expensive here in Utah. Very few people have them, it's not like Montana were every single person has them because they are very economical and people from Montana think they are witty. As it turns out people from Utah just aren't as clever as people from Montana as the initial cost is half of Montana and yearly it is just $5 extra. So with my thinking cap on I came up with several clever ideas for new license plates for the new minivan. Unfortunately, Natali holds infinite veto powers on personalized plates. I did finally find one that resonated well with me and her. It shouldn't be too hard to guess. Here it is:
