Family Photos

While we were in Utah we were lucky enough to have our family photos taken by a good friend of mine, she owns Silverscape Photography. I thought she did an awesome job, here are a few of the ones we loved.

Malia was on the move the whole time, it was hard to keep her down to get a shot of her and Dylon together. She is trying to squirm her way out of his grip in both of these shots, but of course they are still adorable!

13 months and counting...

Our baby girl is now over 1 year old! She is just about walking, says mama, dada, hi, Jesus (dsus), and will mimic other words and some animal sounds as well if she hears us say them or hears an animal. She LOVES the outdoors and her big brother. I'm already seeing the "girl" in her; she is quite dramatic for a one year old. She is going to be a dancer, every time she hears any kind of music she moves to the beat. She loves to climb on things and then cries when she can't get down or just falls and then cries. Either way there is a cry for help. (she is on a chair as we speak!) Hates getting dressed (which I'm sure will change in the next few years where she will want to change her clothes every hour). She only has two teeth, yes, two! She loves to laugh and if you are laughing she'll belt out a belly laugh that makes you laugh even more.

Malia wasn't too sure about the cake but once she go the hang of it she loved it. Gifts were the same way, Dylon had to help her with that one. (Her gifts have now been claimed by her brother who has now given her back her Christmas gifts. So I assume she will get her birthday gifts back the next Christmas! lol)

While we were in Utah this summer we were able to celebrate with the Christensen side. Her cousins and brother helped her blow out the candles. More of the Utah visit to come! (click on images for larger view)

Look Who's 3...well 3 months ago

It is amazing how time literally flies when you are an adult. I remember as a kid time just dragged on. School years were too long and summers were just long enough that by the time it was time for school you were excited to finally be back. I can't believe that 3 years has already flown by so quickly with Dylon. His birthday always seems to be strung out for a week or so.

We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Gentry here a weekend close to his birthday so we celebrated with them. The shirt Dylon is holding in his teeth explains him well, notice him in one of the water pictures squeezing water on Malia. Silly silly boy!!

We had some of Dylon's friends over to swim and have dinner, it may have been too cold to swim, they were all shivering but still had fun :)

Dylon really wanted a train cake. The first one was kind of a "train wreck" so we revamped the idea and just made some desert hills in the middle of train tracks for the friend party.
