Dogs, Dogs, and more DOGS!

A BOY AND HIS DOGS!!!

Last year Sam won, at Six Flags, a huge Curious George and banana stuffed animal. Everytime we go there we would see a gigantic "PUG" stuffed animal, and Sam would ask if he could have $5 to win it. We of course said "NO", you already won a huge stuffed animal and just considered him lucky to have won once. When we went for Liv's birthday, we wanted to play some games, and Sam said, "Give me $5 so I can win my pug." I had no idea that the boy has such luck and skill!!! It's good we waited to the end of the day to play games, because that GINORMOUS pug is NOT fun to pack around. Now if I can only figure out WHERE to put it!! IT's going in HIS room, I hope he'll be able to walk around...

Happy 12th Birthday!!

Watch out Young Women's Program, here comes Alivia!!! FINALLY!!! Liv is so excited to finally get out of primary, and on to older girls and older things. I think we all remember singing primary songs when you are so ready not to....I on the other hand am wishing she were stuck in time, and would stop growing so darn fast.

She amazes me everyday! She is SO funny, has a great sense of humor, so kind, very outgoing, awesome style, and has a heart of gold. Everyday is a new adventure... She is so much fun to be around, and she is just a delightful person....

She had a great birthday party. Actually, she is kind of having 2 parties this year. For her birthday, day, she had her friend Kyra spend the night, and then we went to Six Flags. Played games, won prizes, rode rides and just had a blast. On July 13th, she invited four more friends to go back to Six Flags, and do the same thing. Maybe we'll try out Hurricane Harbor, for a change.

Mom and Dad gave her a new cell phone. Brothers and sister gave her collectable erasers, Grandma gave her an itunes card, she has already spent, and Kyra gave her a gift card to Claire's, her favorite store. Thanks everyone!!

Liv, I am so proud of the person you are and are becoming. Keep up the good work...I love you so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Alivia's New Haircut

Alivia's hair at Easter time. She has been trying to grow out her bangs.

Her new Summer haircut. She loves it! She said she wanted something drastic!

So I gave her layers, and blended the bangs. It looks a little uneven in this picture, but it isn't, it is just how it is laying. It looks really cute on her. She looks a lot older, so I'm having second thoughts. Where has my baby girl gone? Just for my own information, this took me about 2 hours to do. I was very cautious, and am hoping that my speed increases...It was a lot of fun to cut her hair, and she was so patient. Thanks Liv for being such a great Lab Rat! You're AWESOME!!
