Little update

well the Christiansen are finally feeling better for the most part!
Tyler is still a stay at home daddy! He remains home with Ashley during the day and goes to school at night! He is almost thru midterms and he will be half way done at the end of this semester! He is excited to be done and start working with airplanes!

Brittani-(me)- going to school part-time online (just 2 classes) and it is hard but way worth it! I forgot what it is like to be going to school again. I forgot how hard it can be too. I still work full time for an orthopedic surgeon during the day. I love my job but love to be a mom even more and can't wait for Tyler to be done with school.

Ashley- is crazy and funny and full of energy. I love that I don't go a day with out smiling and laughing with her. She loves to talk on the phone to anyone (even herself)! If you give her a phone she will talk your ear off. I have no idea what she is saying it is so funny! I have tried to record her talking but so far no go! She loves Tinker Bell!!!! She will watch Tinker Bell movies and she is quite and sits and wants to watch the whole movie! Makes it nice when I have a lot of homework to get done!! If anything has Tinker Bell on it she wants it too! She gets excited and will kiss it and say ohhhhh! She is growing and getting bigger and her hair is finally getting longer! The mullet look is not as noticeable. She will be 18 month old in March. Can't believe it! But NURSERY HERE WE COME!!! She has been going in for a little bit to get used to it and so far so good! So when March is here she can stay and mom and dad can continue teaching our lesson without interruptions!

Well here is a little update!!

Smile

Ashley has started to do this cheesy smile lately! You can not help but smile and laugh when you see it! So glad I have a happy little girl again!

Sickness!

Sickness has hit our house! Tyler has been sick, Jay (Tyler's brother who is living with us) was sick, and now Ashley is sick and of course I caught it last. Ashley got it the worst though. Sunday and Monday night we did not get any sleep cause Ashley was up all night with High fevers. Like 103 high. Since it went on for over 24 hours we called her Doctor and asked if they felt they needed to see her. Since she was not really showing any other signs of being sick I was not sure what it was going to be. Meeting Tyler at the doctor she was a little stuffy nose and not much more. Test came back and she came up positive for the FLU! The next two days were hard. Tuesday night the flu hit hard. Everything came all at once! I am just glad she is doing better now and started to act more and more like my happy girl again. The #1 question I have gotten from every one or at least the statement is why did she not get a flu shot!! The big reason is she is allergic to eggs and can not get one!! Poor sick girl but I am glad we got it caught in time and it was not worse than it could have been! So when everyone starts feeling better I will post more and catch up!

2011 here we come!

I have decided to set some goals that I would like to do over the next year or hopes i would like done at least.

• Read the whole Book of Mormon over.
• Take and complete college classes.! Signed up for 1 so far in process to sign up for another! Starting out slow have not gone to school in over 6 years, and I don't have much time! Plus I can take my time to get my degree!
• Tyler will be able to get a job or internship by the end of the year!! Or I might have to wait until May 2012 but we will see!
• We would like buy a new vehicle!!
• Take many trips to farmington, only went 2 times last year ( I know seems like a lot to most people) but I would like to go more!
• Cook more and come up with more things to cook!
• Exercise more which I know seems to be a new year thing for everyone but I have been working on this for a while! Just got an exercise bike for it is slowing getting better!
• And last but not least that I can think of right now! Maybe add another little one to the Christiansen family! We will see what the lord has in store for us!

2010

Wow where did last year go! Here is 2010 in a short glance!
Ashley grew and grew and went from my baby into a little girl! She was 4 months old in this picture! We also welcomed three very cute little girls into Tyler's family! Kaitlyn, Violet, and Scarlette! We loved going and spending time in farmington for those girls blessings!
While in Farmington Ashley came out with the chicken pox! This is what she looked like a couple of days after getting back from our trip.
We spent the 4th in Mesa and had a great night down town mesa!

We found out that Ashley has food Allergy's and she is allergic to peanuts and eggs!

We got to go to San Diego and spend a day at seaworld and on the beach. Ashley turned 1!!!
We were able to enjoy all our wonderful family in Mesa for a Cooper family Reunion!
Ashley got professional picture for the first time which was also in her Halloween costume!
Tyler continued school and in the fall finally started doing the program which is will complete! No more basic classes. Only 1 1/2 year left! He will be done with school May 2012!!

We had a wonderful Christmas and year and can't wait to see what this next year has to bring.
