This last week...



This last week I had the chance to go up to Girl's Camp with the young women in my ward. It was so much fun. It was cold (at night), but it was a blast. I have always loved girl's camp, so it was fun to go up and get to participate in it again. It was so well organized by the camp director and her assistance that I just got to go up and have fun. Nick stayed home from work a couple of days and my sister Jeana watched Trevor for one day so that I could go. Thanks for doing that. I came home with a few funny stories that I should write in my journal. One though was my great fashion sense to keep the ticks away--putting my socks over my pants. I always did it when I was at girl's camp so I decided to do it again. I did look pretty funny--but the good news--No ticks!!!






Girl's Camp was a wonderful experience--I love how you get to be away from all of the hustle and bustle of the world for a few days to concentrate on what really matters.


I got back on Saturday morning just in time to clean up and get in the car to drive for 4 hours to Idaho Falls. Nick, Trevor and I got to spend time with family friends--Mike and Kerri--as they just adopted a little girl, named Taylor. It was so neat to spend time with them. Then we went up to Burley, Idaho to spend the night with Nick's dad. That night we went to a truck pull. If you have never been to a truck pull--you are missing out...



Then Sunday morning we went back down to Pocatello, Idaho so we could go to church with Mike and Kerri. It was a little bit of driving, but I am so glad that we could go and spend time with family and friends--it was a wonderful weekend. And Trevor did awesome in the car so that was really helpful.

It was a great week...

The Family Wall

My sister Jeana, took pictures of all of my siblings and their families. She gave them to my mom for Mother's Day. When we were here visiting, Jeana helped my mom find frames and then she and Janessa hung them all up. There are eight kids and we all have our senior picture hanging and then under it is a family picture of our own family. It looks amazing. I actually saw this done at a friends house and loved it and told my mom and sister they should do it--so they did...

Graduation

Here are some pictures of my brother Josh's graduation.
He is the last of 8 kids to graduate. It was so fun to be home and to hang out with my family for this last week. I love them all so much.
Trevor did pretty good being away from home--but he did get a cold and was teething, so sometimes he wasn't the happiest little boy, but after a few days he was feeling much better.
We fly home today. Trevor did good on the way here--we will see how today goes!

Last Tuesday, when Jeana and I got into town. My mom and dad treated all of us to PF Chang's for Josh's graduation dinner. We got babysitter's for the kids, so all of the adults could just go out. We had a lot of fun and got to try about 9 different dishes that are on the menu. Yum.

Here are all of my siblings at Josh's graduation. We are getting so old.

Here is Jeana and I with Josh. Josh is the coolest kid.

Here is Trevor with his Uncle!

Trevor's 1st Birthday Party

This is Trevor at his 1st Birthday at my parent's house in Nampa.
Trevor and I went to visit this last week. We are sitting with his great grandma.

The theme was balls and balloons. So I blow up about 30 balloons and had them all over the house. The cousins picked them all up and put them in the bath tub. It was really cute.
Trevor got a little ride on toy from his Uncle Jeff and Aunt Melissa. He loved it.
