Summer Fun & an 80th Birthday

Yes, it has been nearly a year since I have written on my blog - sorry. I will try to catch up.

We are having a great time remodeling our home and preparing for mom's 80th birthday party. You are all invited! July 30th at our Stake Center. Just let me know if you can come so I can plan on enough food.

Have a great Summer and enjoy!

A long time!

I can't believe how long I have neglected my blog - I need to be better at it...maybe I will make it my mid-year resolution. We shall see how it goes.

Fathers Day 2008!

Steve enjoys spending all day Father's day with his girls....



Candy is always a great gift - Loving the Salt Water Taffy!

What is that??? OH, a Tie - who get's a Tie on Father's Day - all Dads!!!

The girls have some hand made gifts from school. Really nice.

What a happy trio!

AND...the best gift of all.....HOT TAMALES!!!

Ally gets her hair cut and ready for summer! May 2008

Right after Mattie got her hair cut, Ally got a new 'do' for Summer!

The final look - very nice!
And Ally looks happy :-)

Short and sweet, but still long enough to fit in a pony tail :-)

That is a lot of hair - the left overs from both girls....

Mattie give her hair to Locks for Love!!! May 2008

I have been meaning to post this for a long time. Mattie got her hair cut last summer and we sent it off to Locks for Love. We are so proud of her for doing this.

These are her before shots...

Now we are at the Salon, getting combed out and ready for the first cut.

The First Cut!!! So Brave!

What a weight off her head :-) Doesn't she look happy!

Now comes the styling of the new short hair...

A great BIG Thanks to Kristi @ Salon Dijon in Taylorsville, Utah! She did a wonderful job!

What a nice stylish do!
Mattie seems thrilled with her new 'do'!

Of Course - you have to have a funny face picture when you have a party!

Don't they look nice?

Here are the girls showing off their nice church dresses.

What a nice curtsy from Ally and Mattie in their new dresses from Santa.
