Lambs Visit...

We were fortunate enough to have my sister Kristy and her kids come and stay with us for two weeks. Not only were my kids in cousin heaven I was in sister heaven. I loved spending those two weeks with my sister. Although I had a lot of stuff to accomplish with girls camp, Mikelle's baptism, painting, and whatever else my crazy mind told me I had to do, she was a true sister and friend and helped me a more than I could have ever expected. Thanks to her I was able to accomplish my many tasks. We did however manage to inch in some fun too. The kids rode quads and more quads. I think the hardest day was when it rained all day and no quads could be ridden. All the kids were riding machines. I guess it helps when Steven builds an awesome track for them to ride on. Jason even got in on the fun and was landing jumps all over the place. We enjoyed movies every night (even though I never made it past the first five minutes before falling asleep) eating dinner outside enjoying the beautiful weather, making kid crafts, playing games, visiting and laughing, and relaxing. Kristy and I even managed to sneak in a pedicure, shopping, and dinner night thanks to Steven and his willingness to watch 8 kids. Bottom line we loved having the Lambs stay with us and were very sad to see them go. Thanks for the fun two weeks and the memories we made. We love you guys!!!







A day with the Smith Family...

Our good friends Cody and Brittany Smith invited us to spend the day with them at their cabin in Alpine. We had such a great time and we loved seeing them. The kids ran around and did their thing riding quads and such while the adults played cards and visited. We went to the Lollipop Shop and had my favorite, thrifty ice cream (thinking about chocolate malted crunch is making my mouth water) Thank you guys for the fun day! I only wish we could have stayed longer!!!


They had a super fun tree swing that WE ALL had fun on...

I Love my Young Women...

Working with the young women has got to be my most favorite calling. Being camp director is a whole different story. You love and you hate it. But it's all worth it in the end, right? We did a fun run for our fundraiser and it turned out great. We all had a blast but I am sure glad that it is over with!!!




My awesome hubby was a trooper and helped me out a ton. Here he is teaching the girls about different ways to start a fire. Let's just say he made fire look like fun and the girls loved it!

Mikelle's 8th Birthday...

My Princess turned 8 years old on June 27th. These past 8 years have flown by. She came into this world with a little scare when the doctors said I had to be induced due to being low on fluids but she came out the most perfect little baby girl. Mikelle has always had a special spirit about her. Ever since she was little people have always been drawn to her. She has a very out going and has a very strong personality. She can make friends at the drop of a hat. She is so talented and amazingly smart. She seems to just soar through life with no worries. I have always known since she was little that she was born to do great things in life. I love my Mikelley girl. She brings so much sunshine to my life as her mom.
Happy Birthday Princess!! We love you!!!
