Look-alike???

This is Ron (Ben's dad) when he was two. Doesn't he look JUST like Camden?
I think he does...

U.S. Census Bureau

I started working for the Census Bureau a few weeks ago, and it's been quite interesting. I'm just working a few hours here and there. For the training I was able to go to Richfield for three days. It was like a mini-vacation. I was able to drive the four hours listening to my own music, they put me in a nice hotel and paid for my food...it was a nice getaway. Ben was sweet enough to take work off and play Mr. Mom for a few days.

Easter 2010

I bought Ben, Mason and Camden matching ties for their Easter outfits and boy did they look handsome! The Saturday before Easter we went to the park and did an egg hunt. It lasted a whole 30 seconds because there were SO many kids. Easter Sunday the Easter bunny came and left goodies for us all. It was nice to have treats while watching General Conference.







Camden's Birthday!

Camden turned 3 the end of March. We had a big family party a few days before with cake, ice cream and presents. He got a big dump truck, some tools, a Mickey Mouse race track, a firetruck and some Mr. Potato Head people. On his actual bday we went to McDonalds for lunch, got some balloons (his favorite things), had pizza for dinner then went swimming at the rec center.




Weekend in SLC

We went out to SL one weekend to do some fun things. Friday we got to our hotel, ben got the boys ready for bed and I went shopping ALL BY MYSELF! It was heaven! Saturday we went to Chuck E Cheese for Grant's bday party. Mason and Camden had so much fun. We then let the boys pick one thing they wanted to do (zoo, children's museum, etc) so they picked Kangaroo Zoo. They were running and bouncing so much I didn't get any good pictures. We went out to dinner and called it a day. Sunday we slept in, then headed for home. It was a fun weekend!


That next week Aleisha and her two kiddos came out and stayed with us for a few days. Our four kids play so well together, it was fun to have a few days to just let them play.

February

I'm quite behind on my blogging so I'm going to do a quick recap of the last few months.

Grandma Christensen sent the boys a valentines day package with cards and candy. When they came downstairs that morning I told them they could open their envelopes. When I told them it was from Grandma Christensen, Camden got a sad, confused look on his face. He said "You go to Gwamma Twissasin's without me?" It was cute, he knows it takes a plane and an ocean to get there, so he was sad thinking we went there in the night without him.

Camden is potty trained! The first four days weren't fun, but he eventually "got" it and we have been accident free since.

All my boys at the dinosaur museum. Mason and Camden have been there probably five times this last year (they are free) but this was Ben's first time.
