Ward Campout!

Even though Russ had been to girls camp and scout camp he was still willing to take us on the ward camp! :)

Thanks Daddy-o. We had sooo much fun!

Sitting around the campire with our campfire friends
Although the Gallman's have 11 kids of their own, that did not stop them from bringing three extra kids with them!

Chilly morning- sorta

Josh Gallman, cousin Shelby and friend, Kylee (YCL!)

Gallman # 9, Sammie

Olson #1, Sadie. The cutest little thing ever! The kids kept stealing her from each other.

The other favorite thing to steal. Baby puppy, Jasper

Awwww~

Jason Calvi (the model for Jesus in a recent post) and his son, Hayden. Russ taking his turn holding Sadie (who is usually pretty shy but not on this trip).

Sadie's daddy, Chris Olson, helping make breakfast. Thanks!

Brother Blaser and Bro. Sanders making some yummy food. Thanks and thanks Michael for playing Ninja with us!

Grommet! One of the Calvi's two Italian Greyhounds that they brought.

Jasper's play pen!

Tailie Sanders. So talkative and smart first child!

Josh Blaser who was carving a stick with another stick!

Tess holding Jasper and hiding from me.

Chloe (Notice the cute braids? see post below about Crawford hair salon) and Sadie.

Jasper in his play pen with his favorite stuffed animal.

Jasper is a little sick and still a baby so he slept a LOT!

He is sooo skinny and has such thin fur we had to keep him bundled and dressed.

Chloe and I playing catch in a great game of "Pinecone Ball"
It resembles baseball.

Chloe up to bat!

On first, Sister Burns and Olivia G. in the outfield.

Hey batter-batter

Now taking my turn as pitcher

We had 3 Olivia's at camp. Sitting to the right of my Olivia is Olivia Lewis who LOVED Jasper!

Yes! He is TALL!!!! This is Bryan (Gallman's friend) and he is 6'10'' That is me next to him. Wow!

Finally my turn to bat!

Shaylee G. up to bat. You go girl!

Penelope G. Looking pretty in her girls camp green!

That is one high strike zone!


Me pitching to Carissa Burns (the newlywed!)

Rustin trying to hit home his runers and win the game. Sorry buddy.

Shaylee G. Relaxing after a great pinecone ball victory

Thanks for all the hard work Russ. We love you!
Happy Early Father's Day!

Crawford's Hair Salon

Chloe found a great website with tons of great hair-do ideas for girls with pictures, instructions and even video tutorials It's a Girl Thing
We've been trying lots of them lately and having sooo much fun!

French braid all around her head

Into a messy bun on the side



Simple but fun.


One afternoon Olivia and her friend Elizabeth wanted me to come to their salon.
What fun we had!
Elizabeth doing Liv's toes

My nails look pretty darn good considering they were done by 9 year olds!

My hair-do

zig zag part

Had to do the make-up too!

My turn!

After being gone for a week at girls camp I needed to do some girls camp hair on Chloe who was just a little too young to go~

LONG HAIR!

This is a french braid on it's side. You just take the hair from the same side of the braid every time instead of alternating back and forth. The braid looks like a twist from the front and top but you can see a regular braid from the back. This is from the website again.

Chloe's buddy, Josie let her practice on her hair!

Great job Chloe!

Lots of ponies woven together in the back

Zig-zag parts and ponies



Cute flower of mine that was a b-day present from Michelle Budge and it matched Chloe's sweater from Grandma C. so perfectly!

This is our friend Olivia Gallman. I did this same hair-do on Chloe that morning and Olivia wanted it too. Didn't have time to take pictures of Chloe because she had to head out babysitting but got lots of Olivia!

12 braids twisted around each other

I did this hairstyle on her 5 days ago and she still has it in!
I did it again yesterday for a little girl Courtney that I was babysitting. She was so good and LOVED it!
