Christianson Family Fun!!
My sister Molly and her two girls were here the last 2 1/2 weeks and we loved having them here! The 20 pictures on this post are from activities we did together as a whole family clan. Fun Times!!

For family home evening we went for a walk up Provo Canyon. It was beautiful!! This is one of my most favorite places on earth and I love taking my kids there.

Ricky has a great "Daniel Son" pose don't you think.


Ashton couldn't stand to be in his stroller. He wanted to be out with the rest of the kids running and playing, but he liked being on daddy's shoulder's the best!


These are all 12 of the Christianson grandchildren. It was a little difficult to get them all to sit still for an FHE lesson, but my dad made it through as they ate ice cream bars.

Bradley fully looks like a little old man in this picture.

Cora is such a poser!

Of course we could not have a family outing up the canyon without my dad's beloved dog Cassie. She is certainly one of the family.

Ashton is also a little poser.

We went to the Hogle Zoo on Tuesday and let me just say that was an adventure!! This is all of the kids but Rebecca's Lily. She was having a bit of a moment when we took this picture. On the back row we have Colby, Brigham, Josie, Burke, Bradley and Braxton. The next row is Ellie, Maggie, Savannah, Cora and Ashton. What dolls!!

Braxton, Brad and Brax.

Colby couldn't resis getting on this Rhino. What 7 year old could??

This is one of my favorite pictures from the day. Cora and Molly; what beautiful gals!!

This is everyone waiting for the bird show.


I think this was Ashton's favorite part of the day. He loves his treats!!

Burke and Brigham think they are pretty funny.

Ellie was a little nervous about sitting by this gorilla, but after some persuasion we got a cute shot.

This is me and Ash on the train ride to end the day. We had a blast but were ready for some air conditioning after 4 hours of the Zoo! We love our family and are so glad that Molly could come; if would have been perfect if Kevin could have been here with us. We love you Kevin!!!!

Em,

The pics of you guys brought memories flooding back to me. Remember when your dad would take us up to Canyon Glen and jump off the bridge into the river. He would always make you girls jump with him even though you didn't want to and you would fly of the bridge screaming like a pterodactyl.

That was always a good time.

It was so good to get caught up with you on the phone yesterday. Thanks for being such a good friend. That picture of Ricky is hilarious! He does enjoy making people laugh. What a neat idea to give the kids a treat while their grandpa teaches them. I wish we could have been there to listen. =-) Bradley does look like an old man in that picture! When he does get old I'm sure he'll have a good time comparing the two.....ha!

Nothing slows you guys down. I love that. It's good to be able to catch up when I don't see you in weeks. :)

Thought I'd check in on your blog -- ya'll have been busy!! So fun that you all had time to be together this summer. We miss you terribly! What is it about summer that makes kids grow up so fast? They all look like giants! Anderson still talks about running around the institute building with all his "boy cousins" at the Christmas party - one of his all time favorite memories and just before we moved. Only a few more weeks now until our own little 'Jack' arrives! Love you!
