Nikki, Corey and Derek snuck out of there somehow with out a pick! :( Boo

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

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!?

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.....

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

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!
