Short and Sweet

I got really tired of Alivia's hair looking like a blond version of Violet from The Incredibles.

Alivia getting her hair cut! It took her a day to get used to it. She kept asking me, "Mom, is my hair going to grow up?" Once I told her it would grow back she was fine. I think she is actually liking it now!

Drum Roll........................................

Short and Sweet

Gracie's hair was cut too!

This hair just needs to be tamed!
Ella's first hair pretty! Grow Grow Grow. We are anxious for Ella to get more hair.

Lovin' a little Utah!

It came and it went in a blink!

The things I don't want to forget...

Matt took us hiking up to Rock Point! He used to walk up to Rock Point as a kid. Now, he can take his own kids. They looooved it!

The water was freezing, but that didn't stop Alivia. She loved getting her feet wet!

4th of July at the Christensen's means the Pepperwood Parade and a yummy breakfast!

To Gracie, the Pepperwood parade means CANDY!

Little Mylee's first parade!

Sandy City Parade

Ella was lovin' this parade. We heard lots of WOWs from her!

In between the parades we played and played!

Then...Fireworks!

Gracie rolled and rolled while waiting for the fireworks.

Two of the cutest fire crackers!

After all of that, they just couldn't keep their eyes open.

Fun at Grandma and Grandpa Walker's. This was one of my favorite nights! The girls had sooooo much fun laughing and playing outside.

This is their favorite thing to do at Grandpa and Grandma Walker's!

We talked Grandpa and Grandma into a little bowling!

This pic of Gracie is just cool!

A night at the park! Another favorite night!

The Stick Game. You know the one!

You're never too old to play the stick game.

Oh, and Ryan... you're never too old to be tackled and tickled by your little cousins!

Ella gettin' some love from her Uncles.

Everyone was all smiles on this night!!!

We love you family. Thanks for the fun!

GOOD-BYE JUNE

I plead guilty to blog neglect. The consequences for this heinous act lies on your head, because now you have to look through all of the pictures I've wanted to post but haven't.

REMEMBERING JUNE...

* We spent a few days playing with the cutest nephews EVER!!!!

* They put a very not so crafty person in charge of Camp Crafts this year?!

(Danyelle, can I hire you for next year?!)

* Girls Camp 08'

I don't think Lake Murray was ready for these campers!

Camp Theme: BE TRUE
After much persuading, or should I say pestering, the girls finally talked me into this. I actually gave in so that I wouldn't have to listen to their 13 year old whining anymore! (Atleast, I'll be remembered as the "fun leader") I love those Beehives.

*I have been busy making lots of these:

(Ella- The not so happy model.)

* We had to say goodbye to these favorite people of ours!

* But, I've also been able to spend time with a loyal friend. Thanks Jene!

* Then, Gracie turned 6!!!!

Making lots of wishes!!!
* Oh, and let us not forget one of these girls turned 31.
Thank you friends for the birthday dinner!

I just want you to know that I turned 31 and I found three gray hairs in my head this week. I was a little sad, but I did get some ...

really cool new shoes! I love them. Who cares about gray hair when you have cool shoes.

Thanks Matty.

* So, in between all of that..... We still found time to do lots of this:


Ella caught making terrible messes!



Picnics in the backyard.

Swimming swimming and more swimming!And probably our favorite thing... Dad's crazy sprinkler mechanism above the trampoline.

* Through it all, I was reminded that these four people mean more to me than anything else!

FAREWELL JUNE!
