Cameron William Christensen will now "read" his version of Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown. The first video is his serious version, while in the second video, he gets a bit goofy.

More Summer Fun

CaMpInG and OtHeR fUn......

CAMPING
Last weekend we went camping with TJ, Amber, Braydon and McKayla up in Logan Canyon. It was a lot of fun. Cameron was so happy to have Braydon and McKayla to play with. Saturday started with Nate taking a dive on Al's bike and smashing up his body pretty good. After getting him all put back together, we met Katie and Parker and went up to Bear Lake and ate some YUMMY pizza at Bear Lake Pizza and Pasta. Then we headed to the beach for some swimming. The water was pretty warm...Cam and McKayla LOVED the water! Al and TJ even took a romantic walk on the beach! Sunday, we went for a hike around the lake at Tony Grove. It was so pretty..all the wildflowers were out and there were butterflies everywhere. The kids enjoyed it....I think.
Unfortunately, both my cameras were out of batteries, so I was unable to document all of our fun with photos. Can't believe I was so unprepared in the camera department. But, take my word for it....the kids were cute, the places were beautiful and we all had fun!!

SATURDAY AFTERNOON
One Saturday afternoon, we just decided to blow up the kiddie pools at toys at my mom's house and let all the kids play in the water! Katie brought all her boys, so Cameron had an extra good time.

The Zoo!!

Amber, TJ, Alan and I took the little ones to the zoo a few weekends ago! Other than being pretty hot, it was a lot of fun. Cameron liked the monkeys the best, after riding the train, of course.







More summer fun to come!!

My mom and I took Cam and Parker to Beus's Pond the other day for a picnic. They had fun feeding the ducks and seagulls. Cam thought the baby ducks were so cute. We were followed down the sidewalk by a gaggle of canadian geese!







More to come for summer fun!!

Totally Disgusted!!

Friends don't let friends let their children play at McDonald's playlands!!!

OK, so we were at McDonalds the other day and Cam was playing in the playland. I know that these are not the most hygienic places, but he enjoys it so much, I just give him a good scrub down when he is done....but those days are OVER!!
This little kid comes out of the mazey mess with a ferrociously bloody nose and there is blood all over his clothes and face! I immediately tried to get Cam to come out of there and several minutes later, he finally came out. To my shock and disgust, he, too, was covered with the other kid's blood! OH MY GOD!! I was totally freaked out. His pants were covered, his socks were too ( I threw them away). And, this tops it all off...he had it on his hands and arms and it had soaked through his pants onto his legs!!! I rushed him to the bathroom to scrub him down, all the while praying that he hadn't put his hands into his mouth. Did I mention that I was freaked out?
I got him cleaned up and I know that someone mentioned to someone on staff that there was blood in the playland, but no one ever came to clean it up. AND...people who saw the mess happen, still let their kids play in there!!!
So, just a lesson, if anyone still lets their kids play in there, please stop!! You never know what could be in there! I'm sure they still haven't cleaned up that blood.
I have decided to just stick to the playthings in the parks...you can pretty much inspect those to make sure they are somewhat clean....blood-free and other bodily specimen-free at least!!
Totally disgusted and did I mention, freaked out????

FBI Citizen's Academy

My friend Jana and I just graduated from the FBI Citizen's Academy! Bet you didn't know that the FBI hosts a citizen's academy free of charge to anyone that is interested in learning about the FBI and what great things they do. Jana and I attended the 6 week course and graduated last Saturday with a fun-filled day of shooting crazy guns, being held hostage and then rescued, watching things get blown up, seeing a real sniper in action and eating some yummy Iceberg food.
Let me tell you a little about this amazing opportunity....after applying and passing a background investigation, we were enrolled in a 6 week course. Every Wednesday evening, we headed down to the Salt Lake FBI headquarters to learn about the mysterious FBI. We heard many interesting presentations...from domestic & international terrorism, cyber crime, undercover operations, gang crime, and even a polygraph demonstration. One night, we got to break away from the classroom and see the firearms training simulator, the evidence recovery team, the gun vault and the mobile command unit. It was so much fun and all of the agents are very, very nice and not to mention...they are all also pretty good looking!!
But, the best part of it all was graduation day....we headed up to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's firing range and the fun began. We each got to shoot 5 different guns...an M4 (full automatic), another full automatic, a glock, a sig sauwer (?) and.....drumroll please......an original 1928 Thompson sub-machine gun in full automatic. For those of you who do not know why I was so excited about this last gun....it is from the era of the old gangsters and are really rare....you know those guns you see in the old movies that people like Al Capone used to shoot with that big round drum magazine on it? It was sooooo very awesome!
We also watched some explosions, a sniper demonstration, were held hostage and got to see what a hostage rescue consists of. We got to shop in the FBI store (got some cool stuff). Iceberg drive-in catered our yummy lunch bbq and we had a graduation ceremony and received awesome certificates signed by the head of the FBI...Richard Mueller.
Did I mention that all of this was totally free???? That is one of the best parts! I would strongly encourage everyone to take this class. It gives you a better understanding of who the FBI is and what they do. Then you, in turn, become a good will ambassador for the FBI. Let me know if you are interested....I can get you an application.
Great Experience!!

Thank you!!

I know it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything, but I must blame it on that stinking swine flu.....no, I am not sick with it....I am sick of it!! You see, I am one of the lucky people testing the hundreds of samples that people are sending in. I have not had one minute to do anything computer related for a long time!! But enough about that disease of which I don't want to speak anymore....
I really wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone for my wonderful birthday! Yes, I will admit that I am now on the downward slope of my 3rd decade of life. It hasn't been so bad so far, but the year is young!!
I had a great birthday weekend. It started out with my great friends, Jenni, Jana and Jackie taking me out to lunch at Hires Big H on Friday, then to Spoon Me for some green tea frozen yogurt with fresh raspberries and coconut. YUM!!! Thanks Ladies!
Saturday, I was surprised at a party at Jared and Tanya's house. I thought we were just going to a bbq and it was also a birthday party for me....the old lady of the group!! I thoroughly enjoyed the night...good food, giant cake, games and great gifts from my girls...thanks to all of you for the great stuff...cute flip flops, nail stuff, candy, a cute bag, movie tickets, costa vida gift cards...lots of stuff! You all are too kind to this old lady!!
Sunday, which was my actual birthday, was a relaxing day. Took a nap with Cam...went to dinner with my family, my parents and my sister and Parker. We went to El Matador, which I LOVE...I think I am the only one that loves it, so thanks to everyone for sacrificing your guts to have dinner with me on my birthday. I got Bath and Body Works GC from my kids, Pier One GCs from my mom and Al and a cute little bag full of Clinique lip glosses from my sis! On Monday, my mom and dad took me down to pick out a new bed for my birthday!!
I have such wonderful friends and family and I just want to tell all of you how much I appreciate you and all you do.
It was a HaPpY BiRtHdAy indeed!!!

EaStEr TiMe

Our family had a great Easter Sunday. The Easter bunny visited and left the kids an Easter basket and hid some eggs for Cam to find. Then we headed down the block to grandma's house, where the Easter bunny also left a basket and lots of hidden eggs for Cam. We colored more eggs and ate some yummy breakfast.

Next we went out to Al's mom's best friend Ethel's house for even more yummy food, hidden eggs and some excellent swimming in their new pool. Everyone had a great time all day long. Hope everyone else had as great a day as we did!!





More Easter Fun!!
