I have been trying off and on to potty train Hunter and.........well, I don't know if it is me or him that doesn't t to do it. When I take him he pulls off all his clothes and won't get off the toilet. He screams bloody murder: "nooooooooooo, I want to potty train mommy." Then when we tried again and he screamed and refused to even go into the bathroom. But we'll get there I suppose.........some day.
Max is just still as sweet as can be. This age (10 months) is so fun and I just love it! They are discovering and learning so much. He crawls around all over the place. Him and Hunter are starting to play together a little. Thank goodness that Max is a fighter or else he would be getting trampled on by the big brother. When Hunter tries to take his toys Max holds on for dear life and screams at the top of his lungs. Today he actually tried to bite Hunter when he wouldn't give his toy back! I know its not funny but I had to turn my head to hide the giggles. I am glad that he can hold his own or he might have been in critical condition by this point in his life :)
I miss living in the big city but I am glad to be here and have my children get to know their grandparents. I mostly chase my kids around, scrap book and read. I know, my life is exciting. But oddly enough, I love it--not the lack of much to do part, but my life. It can be crazy with a 2 year old and a 10 month old but I love it!
Valentines day is past but I hope all you love birds out there told your sweeties how much you loved them. Hope all is well,
The CHRISTIANSENS
Max and Hunter were sickies for a while after we got to Utah. It seemed like there was nothing I could do to keep them healthy. We had colds, the crup, the flu, fever's, ear infections and then everything all over again. We tried three different rounds of antibiotic for Max's ear infection. The doctor said that if that last one didn't work he would have to get tubes in his ears. So thank goodness it finally cleared up.
We are all adjusting to our new home and ward (church.) Jon and I were called to be primary workers--working with the younger age kids. We teach the 7/8 year olds Sunday school class. Wow! They are one busy group but we try to appreciate their happiness for life. I also got called to be a ward organist! Now, I do play piano but haven't even so much as touched an organ. My mother in law plays so she taught me the basics. I play for the first time in Sacrament this Sunday. It should be interesting.
Jonathan passed his boards! I am so proud of his determination and accomplishments in school. He is the Valedictorian of his class and for this past section of the boards he scored the highest in his class. The administration at SCCO told him that he most likely got the highest score IN THE COUNTRY or tied for it--apparently this is not official information until the national boards notify us! He is not one who wants any sort of recognition for this but we are so proud of his hard work and he deserves to have someone brag about him! He graduates at the end of May and then when he gets his licensure we will move to Nevada.
