Bingham Cousins

These are Kristian's cousins on the Bingham side of the family. What a mix! Makenna, Kristopher (Fopher), Francisco (Cisco) and Kristian. The boys live in Boise and were down visiting grandma for the week. We got to spend some great time with them. This day we went to Dinosaur Park and I forgot my camera (suprise). These pictures were taken with my cell phone again. They turned out so good. I love that Kristian likes his cousins and can get to know them often.

Parade

South Ogden Days were the week of the 23rd. Aunt Teri talked us in to going to the Parade at the end of the week. Kristian waved at everything that went by. The fire trucks sprayed water at us and he was not sure that he liked that too much, but he loved the candy.

Aunt Teri also talked me into running a 5k with her on the 24th. CRAZY AUNT TERI. I was proud of myself though. I was not the last one to finish, in fact I was not even the last one in my age group to finish. Francisco beat me by 5 mins. Stinks that I can not keep up with a 10 year old.

Hanging at the Zoo

Kristian loves the ZOO! We met Kallie and Micaela, Kerry and Jack, and took Mindi, Austin, Erin and Ivy. What great fun. Kristian never seems to get bored of the animals. The picture above is of Micaela, Kristian and Jack watching the new carousel. I always think that Kristian has curly hair until I get him around Jack. This is a picture from my cell phone. I never remember to take my camera, now I wonder why I have one when all I really need is my phone.



This is Ivy, Austin, Erin and Kristian by the Zebra's.

Working from home

I love working from home - just tonight I was watching Brian and Kristian playing in the pool. Brian sitting in the pool and Kristian throwing water on him. With the window open I could even here the giggles. It does my heart good.

Father's Day

I love the men (and boys) in my life! We spent the day with Grandpa Gifford for Father's Day. We even had Grandpa's favorite food. Chinese! The whole family was there! I love get togethers', mostly because I have the best family around and they are great fun. I love watching Kristian interact with them all and then talk about it on the way home. I love that he knows them all. Thanks to all my family for being so GREAT! Even bigger thanks to Brian for being a wonderful Father to Kristian!

updates

I am bad at taking pictures so I don't have any to post with this. SORRY

We took Kristian, Grandma and Grandpa Gifford, and Grandma Randall to the aquarium in SLC. Kristian loves animals. He would not touch the stingrays bu the star fish were okay. Then we took Brian down to Cabela's. Another one of Kristian's favorite places. It was a great day.

San Rafael Swell

We took Kristian to San Rafael Swell for a day trip. It was a 13 hour day and he did great. He loved the rocks and sand and sun. Grandpa Gifford went with us and we met some of his friends there. We drove down 3 hours to southern Utah and then took a 100 mile loop around the Swell to see the petrogylphs. At one stop we had to hike over half a mile to get to the petrogylphs and Kristian lead the whole group. We had a wonderful time. Kristian is sure our outdoors men. He seems to get us out all the time to see something new. Thanks DUDE

Birthday

We took Kristian to Dinosaur Park for his birthday. He loves that place. He never seems to get bored, no matter how often we go. This was the first time that his dad had been so Kristian had fun showing Dad around. Now each time I say 'lets go to the park' he says 'Dinosaur park will be fun'. He is amazing to me!

Kristian

This is Kristian - Our little Dude. He is as full of attitude as this picture would indicated. He is TWO. I don't know went that went and happened to me but I love it. It seemed like when I figured out 1, he went and turned 2. I guess that is how the games goes, always one step ahead of us. He is the light of our lives. He never fails to make us smile. I am truly grateful to be his mom.
