I wish there was more time in the day....

I have lots of pictures i need to post, but no time to do it.

I was playing with this program called Photoshop LightRoom. It is so cool. I want it. But here is a few of my pictures i played with in lightroom. I will try to get the other unedited ones up soon!

I updated one page of my music scrapblog, and if you want to vote for it you surely could, by going HERE

August and September Birthdays!

I have been slacking on my blogging, sorry.



Maggie Jo Christiansen turned 1 year old on August 12th. We had a party for her on Saturday the 9th.

They had a little pool and elmo sprinkler for the kids.

With a little help from her Uncle Dave, Maggie loved the water!

She is just so dang cute and I can't believe she is 1 already!

My brother Travis turned 34 on August 26th. And said he wanted to have a mustache party for his birthday and so i surprised the family with fake mustaches for everyone to wear!

My brother in law Tim turned 30 on September 3rd, and Collette threw him a surprise party on Saturday the 6th. I didn't do real well at taking pictures that day, sorry.

Happy Birthday Maggie, Travis and Tim! I love all of you guys so much!

Our Trip to the Zoo

The Monkeys

This is one of the singing monkeys, i haven't heard them sing in a long time. But they were one of my mom's favorite animals at the zoo so i had to take a picture!

Noah stuck his head in a lions mouth!

The Elephants!

I love Rhinos

The bears weren't doing anything until everyone but Maggie and I left. And so Maggie and I were the only ones who saw the bears wrestling!

I love Zebras too!

The penguins were so cute, Only one was swimming in the water the rest were just chilling by the side. I liked this one the most!

The Giraffes! My Favorite picture of the day!

Turtle!

The new carousel at the zoo! You can ride almost every kind of animal even some that Collette and I thought might be imaginary!

Waiting for the Train!!

It was a very fun day at the zoo!

My mystery finally solved????

...hopefully! If you know me pretty well, for about the last year I have had a lot of digestive problems. The doctor couldn't really figure is out only that i had an ulcer but that didn't really explain the pain in my lower abdomen. Well I have kinda learned to just live with it. But last week my sister Collette was reading her Shape Magazine and in it there was an article about Celiac Disease which is where your body doesn't digest a protein found in Wheat, Rye, and Barley, called Gluten. Collette thought of me because I have most of the symptoms that her Magazine talked about. So started last Tuesday I decided to start a Gluten Free diet to see how it would make me feel. I honestly started to feel a difference the next day. It kinda sucks because Gluten is found in a lot of foods, and Gluten free foods are kinda expensive. I am going to go to the doctor next week and get the blood test done to see if it really is the case. If I do have Gluten Intolerance it definitely won't be fun to have to live on a Gluten Free diet for the rest of my life, but I will just be happy to know what is the matter and to actually not have my tummy hurt all the time.

Crazy life...

My life is busy and so i am trying to get caught up on a lot of things. August definitely flew by I have more updates, more pictures and more stories. I will try my hardest to get them up soonish, but they might not be in order. Sorry
