Ashlee and Cortnee in Florida

Ashlee and Cortnee went with their mom to Florida for 9 days. It was a whirlwind June. Cortnee left for Oakcrest (church girls camp for beehives) the monday after school got out. She was gone for a week and then they left for Florida on the following Monday. Ashlee took her friend Lexi with them. They have a step brother that Cortnee hangs out with and so Ashlee needed someone to keep her company. Here is a picture of the four of them (taken with Ashlees camera) and then Ashlee, lexi and Cortnee at a Luau. They arrived home on Tuesday and Ashlee headed out to church girls camp that afternoon. She was gone the rest of the week. So as I said we have a had a whirlwind June. But then things settled down.

Family Pictures

Family Pictures usually end up being torture for us. Not really sure why. Well Memorial weekend we bribed Ashlees friend Cami to come with us and take the pictures. I think she did a marvelous job. The bottom picture is our favorite

Cortnees birthday is actually May 3rd

Just thought I would add that I am really behind on posting and so I should tell you her birthday was a month ago. Here are a couple of pictures of Cortnee wearing Ashlees dress for The Sweethearts dance. And just a very cute picture that Cortnee took of herself.

Cortnee and hair extensions!!!

Cortnee decided that she wanted to get hair extensions. Marc and I went with her to a beautician that puts them in your hair. Very expensive!! They said probably $90.00 for each section and she would probably need 5 sections. Plus 2 hours to put them in and that would be $30.00 an hour. Whew!!!! So then we went to Sallys beauty supply. She could buy clip in extensions for $79.99. Well she didn't think that was too bad. We (I thought) made it pretty clear that we thought they were too expensive but she was welcome to save her money and buy them herself. Well she was totally upset that she didn't get them for her birthday. But she did ask if we would be upset if she returned the sun dress and the bag that we gave her for her birthday. That would give her $30.00 plus some birthday money she was sure she would get from her moms house. Well she did end up getting enough money for her birthday and bought the extensions. This is a picture of them curled. Pretty cute. She wore them for a week and then decided they were too much of a pain so they are out. Hopefully a lesson was learned from this experience.

Cortnee turns 14!!!!

Cortnee received a new flat iron for her hair, a pretty yellow sundress that she really wanted last time we went summer shopping, but didn't have enough money and decided that she needed shorts more. What a perfect thing to happen so I could give it to her for her birthday. And last, a bag. Happy birthday cortnee we love you.

More St George

We start out by trying to get Cortnee to come and have some fun with us.

We don't have to talk to hard for Ashlee to come and have fun especially if there is a camera around. Just kidding. She is beautiful and loves to have fun.

Finally, we are able to persuade Cortnee to have some fun.

Doesn't she look like she had fun!!!! Beautiful girls. We had a nice family weekend. Wish we could do that more.

St George

We were lucky enough to get a room in St George conference weekend. Fridays drive was a little snowy but not bad. Saturday was ok but not great and sunday ended up being beautiful. Ashlee wanted Marc to take pictures of her. But Cortnee was too ornery for the most part. We were able to get this one picture of the two of them.
