Girls Camp

M.A.S.H

Must Arise in Strength & Honor

I had the wonderful privledge to attend girls camp with the stake this year. Our theme was based on MASH. Must Arise in Strength & Honor. I was Klinger. *in the red dress* I know a little goofy, but it really was a blast. I looked forward to this for months. I felt like I needed that spiritual kick in the butt! I got it too. It was so fulfilling. Laurel Christianson came and spoke to the girls about Who they are. It was edifying. I could have listened to her all day. We had the usual role call, songs, skits, and delicious food. Nothing like campfire cooked food. The Stake Leaders did the most amazing job with some of the fun activities. We had a really fun game in the meadow that was kind of like capture the flag. We used little trophies that we had some of our team protect and the others had to go steal the other groups trophies from them. After it was done we surprised them with a helicoptor fly over us (REALLY LOW) and drop a box of ice-cream sandwiches. The girls loved it.

These were the YCL girls and leaders from my home ward. I love these girls. They were so awesome! Loved to help the younger girls and they made me so proud.

These are a few of some dear friends that braved camp with me!!

Laguna Beach & Disneyland

Every year we go to Laguna Beach and hang out on the beach for the week. This year we asked our dear friends Melissa & Travis to go with us and relax on the beach!! We had the best time. The kids really love each other and got along the whole time. We thought that it would be fun to bring 2 babysitters who are in my ward. It really didn't go as planned, but all that mattered was that we had a really good time. The adults got to got to dinner 2x and breakfast one morning without the kids. I have always loved the beach, how relaxed it makes me feel. The sand on my toes, listening to the waves crash. We had a girls pow-wow one night and stayed up talking till 1am and watched the waves come closer & closer to the deck we were on.

These are some random pictures........some at the hotel pool, some on the beach. I know I do have to explain a few. The first picture is of Travis digging a hole......we told him for about 1/2 hour to put sunscreen on but he was TOO busy!! That night we went to dinner with just the adults to PF Chang's and Travis had a hard time sitting down!! He burned his crack!!! hahahhaha NO really I laughed so hard!! The next is of Delaney & Jennna goofin' around at the pool. The picture of Brandon in the window was a riot. As I was in PacSun trying on clothes I come out one time & Travis & Brandon have these pimp hats on. I went to go pay for my items and Brandon I guess got bored!! So he decided to go and try to scare people by being a manikin in the window and when they walked by scare them. We laughed so hard, I was crying. We got to go to Disneyland AGAIN........so there are some random ones there too. Tucker found a phone that he just wouldn't put down while we were waiting for the Dads and older ones to get off a ride. We really had a GREAT relaxing time. We have next year already planned with more friends to join us, but we are renting cottages next time!! Thanks Melissa & Travis for a WONDERFUL time!!

This was Jenna's 3rd grade class. We had a big party on the last day of school with games and fun prizes. She really loved her teacher Mr. Scovill. She had a really great group of friends and there is only about 8 from this class in her 4th grade class next year!*****Jenna is in the middle row, third from the right


Just a goofy picture for a goofy teacher!!
