I SURVIVED GIRLS CAMP!!

I survived Girls Camp! Oh yes, I did!

About a month ago I got called to be the Girls Camp Cook, I thought 'SURE, this will be so much fun'. Holy Cow, it was a lot of fun, but it was also a lot of work!

We arrived on Wednesday, and after setting up camp we had free time. Rob & the kids were still there so we got a game of volleyball going. Near the middle of the game I twisted my foot pretty good in a pot hole and had to sit out.. at the end of free time Rob left for home and I prepared for my first meal. As the day progressed my foot got bigger and bigger till it wasn't fitting so well in my shoe. Lucky for me we had another free time scheduled and so for the full 3 hours I was able to put my foot up with ice on it. That brought the swelling down so my foot could fit back into my shoe and then I was back to cooking for the next meal. By the end of the night I thought, there is no way I can do this. I prayed for nearly 10 minutes asking for help, before I went to bed. The next morning 2 things happened. First -- my foot felt soooo much better (I couldn't run & jump on it, but I could walk) and Second -- Our ward needed another Priesthood leader up at camp and so Rob had to come back up. And when he was there he helped me with every little thing! My prayer was answered more than I could have hoped for!

I loved Girls Camp! I loved being with the girls! I loved getting to know the leaders better! I loved having my family up there with me and spending time with them!

Swim Lessons

So to keep my kids busy this summer we have signed them up in swimming lessons. They have been going for 6 weeks now and have become quite the little swimmers! I love seeing them swim. I love seeing them dive for rings at the bottom of the deep end. I love seeing them jump off the diving board. I love it!!! See just a year ago they absolutely hated it and every morning they would be screaming not to go, but this year they just jumped in & conquered their fears, I am so proud!
*just keep swimmin, just keep swimmin

Birthday Surprise!

Me & My Honey


OUR PILOT -- jimmy




I had a perfect birthday! My husband has this friend who has his pilot license and they worked it out so I was able to go flying on my birthday! I am so thankful for Natalie & Jim!!! They are such great friends! It really made my day. I am usually not an emotional person, but after such a beautiful view of the valley I couldn't help, but think about how blessed I am.

The only thing that I have to say is next time.... NO ROLLER COASTER!!!
