I love the 4th of July! We had fun with family again. We went to Pizza Factory for Lunch and then up to my Dad's house to play a few games of Jarts and just hang out and relax! We headed home a little later and my neighbors always put on a "Circle of Fire" in one of the culdesacs by my house! It was so fun! Everyone brought fireworks and treats and also brought chairs and set them up all around the culdesac. They also had some really good big fireworks that they shot up in the air. My girls loved it:) I love where I live. I have the best neighborhood and friends:)

We used to always go all the time when I was little....but we haven't been for a few years and it was so fun to go again! Brad Paisley performed and he was AWESOME! It was so fun to have a break from the kids and just relax! Oh yea and the fireworks were probably the best they've ever been:)

Me and Dani used to always match on the 4th of July....this year when we were shopping for shirts we found our hubbys matching shirts too! Haha they couldn't believe that we were all matching and they were so embarrassed! Loved it:)

I love watching Annistyn and Maybel play with their cousin Hazyl.......ALSO when I got home that night I realized that my wedding ring and a diamond band that Chris gave me when I have Annistyn were MISSING. I remembered that I must have taken them off and set them down when I put Sun Screen on my girls. AAAAHHHHHHh! Can you think of a worse place to loose two diamond rings! But we woke up early early in the morning the next day to go look for them. And I couldn't believe I seriously walked right to them and found them YAY! It was AMAZING!

I just love my mom:)

When did my two girls get so big? Maybel started eating baby food this month and she is so adorable. She is doing pretty good. She still hasn't grown out of her Acid Reflux! Hopefully we'll be done with that soon. :)

Maybel is growing so fast! We weighed her today and she was about 19 lbs! She is still a few days away from being 6 months old. My back is about to break from hauling her around! But I could squish her cheeks and legs all day long! She is so happy and pleasant! Oh I just L.O.V.E her!

Annistyn has had a lot of FIRSTS this month...she is a Sunbeam now. I didn't know how she would do in Primary because she is kinda shy but she does great and is so cute in there. Last week she said the 13th Article of Faith in the microphone! She was so proud when she was done!

Annistyn also started a Gymnastics class on Wednesdays with her little friend Natalie. She loves it!

And last but not least she started Pre-School and loves every second of it! Oh she is so cute and BIG!

The lake is crystal clear and the cliffs are so gorgeous! There is a HUGE rope swing there too which I of course am too big of a pansy to go off of but Chris loves it! I wish I was brave....

My Mom and I took Annistyn up to see the Salt Lake Temple the other day. We had so much fun....It was our last outing before our new baby girl comes! We always have so much fun just the three of us! Annistyn can't get enough of "Gramma Cinny!" Then we went shopping at the Gateway and thought Annistyn would run around in the fountains but she was pretty worried about getting her dress wet. She is such her mom's child.

SUMMER FUN

2010-08-04T17:40:00.003-06:00

Nephi Rodeo

We went to the Nephi Rodeo with our neighbors Erin and Tyson. It was so fun. Annistyn and their boy Cooper had so much fun and loved the horses and bulls!

Young Lavender Farms
For FHE the other night we went to the Young Lavender Farms with our two neighbors. The fields of Lavender were so gorgeous! Their Dad works there so we went for free after hours with them. I want to go back again when it's up and running. It was such a fun place for kids. They had paddle boats, a HUGE barrel swing, animals, and a fun cowboy town for the kids to play in. It was so cute.

Carnival
Can't miss the Steel Days Carnival! Taelyn, Savannah & Annistyn had so much fun on the rides. They are the cutest friends. I love to watch them play together.

Splash Park
We've spent a lot of time at our splash park in our neighborhood this summer. Annistyn loves it....and I love not having to get in a swim suit to take her to the pool :)

Baby Animal Days
We went to Baby Animal days quite a while ago at This Is The Place Park. It was fun! Annistyn was in love with all the animals and was so excited to hold all of them.

Easter in July!?

2010-07-25T14:52:00.001-06:00

Easter Egg hunt in July? I know it's lame but Easter time in Woodland Hills where my parents live there is still about 2 feet of snow. So anyways we didn't get around to it until July this year! Haha but it is such a fun tradition and we can't pass it up! My parents switch it up every year and this year was the best yet....all equipted with money filled eggs of course, 2 Golden Eggs, Confetti eggs to crack on heads and steal other eggs.....It was a blast! Thanks mom and dad!

My Grandpa Ray came to visit too from Colorado and we had a blast! We only see him every couple years so we love it when he comes! He is the cutest thing ever. Our baby girl's middle name will be Rae after him. Oh and she is only 2 weeks away. I have been so lazy about blogging so there will be a HUGE summer catch up post coming soon.....I definately need to do it before she comes or it will never get done! We also have been moved into our new house for about 6 weeks now....Pics to come!

Christopherson.....

2010-06-22T00:01:00.003-06:00

Just had to wish my man a Happy Fathers Day! Chris is so amazing! Me and Annistyn are so lucky to have him. I love him with all my heart and hope he knows that! And of course Annistyn just adores him.....she just can't get enough! But who can right? We had a pretty low key Fathers Day but I hope he felt loved and appreciated! We love you babe!

P.S. - This is my favorite picture of Chris.....because it shows him in his true element. This is what he loves (besides his girls of course.)

Hazyl Joy Harding

2010-05-10T15:57:00.003-06:00

My first neice Hazyl was born about a week ago! I just love this little girl and wish I could hold her every day! We went up to Logan to see her...she was so tiny! Annistyn was so excited to see her and when we got to the hospital they wouldn't let kids in! Bummer!!! Oh it was so sad! Annistyn kept saying "I see Hazyl!" It about made me start bawling! She was pretty sad! So Dani being the trooper she is brought Hazyl to the window so Annistyn could see her! She was so excited and loved her!

ROOFING

2010-04-30T14:07:00.003-06:00

We broke ground on our house about a month ago.....this last weekend Chris with the help of some friends put the roof on! It's so exciting to see it come together. Thanks so much to Matt, Josh, Doug & Dallas for all your help!

The Poop Proof!

2010-04-27T21:36:00.002-06:00

So we had a little incident on Saturday.....Nothing new to me, my little 2 year old has accomplished this probably 30+ times already! But THIS time my good friend Jess and her cute girls were over at my house playing for the day. I'm always telling Jess how NAUGHTY and MISCHIEVIOUS Annistyn can be! But she never believes me because Annistyn is always good around others when we are out of the house! No one EVER believes me! Don't get me wrong I love Annistyn's funny little personality! I love that she is her own person and has her own way but sometimes it is exhausting....but hey she always keeps me laughing! Anyways it was just nice to have some PROOF this time and I'm sure Jess was so happy to experience it too! Haha You know you have a good friend when she is washing poop off your walls with you at your house! Love ya Jess! :)

2010-03-28T21:09:00.006-06:00

We went up to Bear Lake last weekend. Annistyn was in heaven spending a day with her cousins doing their farm chores with them. I think she was meant to grow up on a farm. She had no fear! She hopped right up on the huge horse and went for a ride....she walked right into the chicken coop and collected the eggs....and she petted all the cows! She was so adorable! It made me want to drive to Cal Ranch and buy her a pair of Wranglers right then!

Bare Back!

Saddeling up!
No Fear
Cute Butts...

Also our cute nephew Tate had his 1st Birthday Party and also his blessing! It was so great! We love them so much!

So I couldn't wait anymore......so last week we went to the mall and found out what we are having and we are so excited to have ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL!!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited for Annistyn to have a sister! We have no idea what we're going to name her.....we have about 6 girl names that we love and can't choose. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see her and decide!

We let Annistyn go on the Carousel after cuz she says "Peez?" so dang cute! We can't say no to that!

Wonderful Bear Lake Weekend

2010-01-03T16:31:00.007-07:00

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We were up in the freezing Bear Lake for Christmas day. It was great to be with Chris' family. We had lots of fun and went home 5 lbs heavier like always thanks to Rhonda's good food. It was just a good relaxing couple of days. For New Years Eve we went to the Loveridge's house for a little 2010 Party! It was a blast and so fun to be with old friends. There is nothing better!

Annistyn making Christmas Cookies with Grandma! She loved it!

Meet our snowman Roger!

Winter Fun!

2009-12-18T14:44:00.008-07:00

Sorry for the picture overload but it is very rare that Annistyn will smile for the camera so I was so excited when I put these ones on my computer. We took her up to my parents beautiful new house the other day when it snowed like 2 feet here. But even better my parents had like 4 feet! We had a blast and Annistyn loved the snow. She didn't want to come in when it got dark!

A little while ago the Flakes came down to play and we went to the pond in our city where they light it up with floating christmas trees! It was so cute and the girls loved it!

My Baby Is 2!

2009-12-15T13:00:00.002-07:00

Ok so she turned 2 over two weeks ago. But I still had to post it because I still just can't believe she is that old! Her birthday was actually on Thanksgiving....so me and Chris gave her her presents on the morning of Thanksgiving and then we had a party the day after with all our family. It was so fun to all be together. Even Chris' parents came down from Bear Lake. I don't know what I would do with out Annistyn, she keeps me laughing all day long. Even when she is being SOOOOOO naughty I'm still laughing inside when I am trying to punish her. Her smile and energy are so contagious! Love you baby girl!

Family Pics....By Captured.

2009-10-11T18:15:00.011-06:00

My sister Dani does photography! She did an amazing job with these. She said Annistyn was definatly her hardest shoot. I'm shocked she got so many pictures. It was quite the shoot....we went to the Old Payson Main Street, they have to cutest places to shoot. Well their parade was going on (figures) and Annistyn was CRAZY so we only got to take in a few places. But Dani did awesome like usual! Her link is on the side of my blog.

Happy Birthday To: My Man!

2009-10-09T12:29:00.005-06:00

It was Chris' birthday a couple days ago! It was a busy day! We ended up driving down to Beaver to pick up his new truck....so we didn't have much time to do fun stuff. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have Christopherson as my hubby!:) He is so sweet to me and Annistyn! I love his energy and love for the outdoors! Annistyn loves having her alone time w/Daddy! When I went to St. George a week or so ago, Annistyn got to have 4 days with just Dad! She was so lucky....he took her fishing, bought her a racoon hat, she didn't have to do her hair for 4 days and she could just relax with out her anal mom around! haha She wasn't even excited to see me when I got home. She was totally content with just Dad! Love you Chris! Hope you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Millie and Rhonda and John came too! We had so much fun! Rhonda rented a wave runner for everyone. I didn't get any pictures though....but we had so much fun. Annistyn went on a ride on it with us really slow and she loved it! Annistyn loved the Lake, we were there all day and she just played in the Sand and water the whole time! She's our little fish.

John has been building a Tree House down in the Hollows by there house! Chris was able to help him with it while we were there! It is every child's dream down there! There is the BIG Tree House high up in the trees, John built a Fire Pit, He built bridges over the two streams down there! Annistyn is going to love it next summer!

We went on A LOT of 4 Wheeler rides while we are there! That's all Annistyn wanted to do!

One night we went camping and went and picked Huckleberries! It was my first time....I love huckleberries in my cereal so I was so happy to go! It is a big tradition in Chris's family....they make all kinds of good things with them, my favorite is Huckleberry Cheesecake! Me and Annistyn have definately become addicted to them we eat them every morning w/our cereal! It was fun! Camping was fun we had a yummy breakfast in the morning with all the works! Yumm....

Summer Time

2009-07-25T19:48:00.005-06:00

We've been swimming a lot this summer! Annistyn loves it so it's so fun to go and just watch her have so much fun. It's funny cause if she wants to go down the big slide they make her wear a huge life jacket on top of her floaties so she can hardly move....but she still loves it and laughs the whole way down!

USU Fireworks 2009

2009-07-10T10:31:00.012-06:00

We went up to Logan this year for the 4th. Dani & Tyson just moved into a cute house and of course I didn't take any pictures of it....anyways we had a lot of fun with them and saw some good fireworks while we were there and had some yummy dinners and BBQ's in their fire pit.
There is no way we can get a good picture of Annistyn and me....she won't hold still!

The Clan

Annistyn would just take off and run through the crowd...Tyson got a good work out following her around!

Cindy Lu & Marcus

Dani & Tyson

Annistyn sat still for a few minutes during the fireworks but only on Tyson's lap. She love Tyson....she holds her kisses EXTRA long for him and she will sit calmly on his lap. Sometimes...notice her shirt up over her belly....?

Annistyn's new face every time I whip out the camera.

THE ZOO!
We had so much fun at the zoo. We went w/the Flakes. Annistyn and Tae have so much fun together.

HIKING
We didn't know if Annistyn would still like her pack...she was so little last year it was easy just to put her in and head out for a hike! But thankfully she still loved it this summer....Yay!

CARNIVAL & PARADE

Watching the Parade

Annistyn loved the slide!

Mothers Day

2009-05-17T09:14:00.005-06:00

My Mothers Day was wonderful this year! Chris was out of town in Texas and wasn't going to be home until Monday morning. So we were going to do something fun on Monday.....then on Sunday morning about 10 a.m. There was a knock on my door....and guess who was on my door step......Yep my hotti bagotti Christopherson! He surprised me and came home early! He drove through the night to make it! He's the best! It was the best Mothers Day present ever just to have him there! On Monday we went to Salem Pond. It was fun! Chris fished for a while and Annistyn fed the ducks and we had a picnic! Annistyn was so excited when she saw the ducks she just started jumping up and down. And of course she wasn't scared of them at all. If I wasn't holding her hand she probably would have jumped in the pond on the ducks backs! She's crazy! Anyways it was a blast! I don't know what I would do w/out my beautiful girl and my perfect husband! Annistyn makes being a Mom the best job in the world. We have so much fun together. She is nuts and just makes me laught so hard all day long! Love you baby girl!

Tulip Festival

Me and my Mom took Annistyn the other day to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. It was so fun! Annistyn loved all the flowers. There was a huge grassy area there so we thought we would just let Annistyn down and let her run around....I put her down and she just started running, and running, and running....and never stopped. I thought she would get a little nervous around other people and being so far away from me...but NOPE! She could care less! She wanted to see just how far she could get! And if she put her hands behind her like superman she really thought she was running fast.HAHA It was so funny. I love that little girl!
