At My Grandma's

Hey guys, this is just me saying I am sorry, but I wont be posting for another week or so since I am at my Grandma's until our new house is ready. When we hook up our computer I will be able to put up pictures and tell you everthing I did! I promise it will be a long one since I am gone for so long! Love you! Miss you! Blog you soon!

Cutting Hair :)

I got my hair cut again... but it is nothing drastic. I just got cuter bangs (my dad calls them sassy) and some shorter layers on top. It is getting really thick! I love short hair!!

Also check Adam' Blog later, cuz he got his cut too.

Devotional:

"We don't always know the details of our future. We do not know what lies ahead. We live in a time of uncertainty. We are surrounded by challenges on all sides. Occasionally discouragement may sneak into our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work. In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn't worth the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning."

Ha ha :) Anyway we are taking pictures of them and then later we will all post them and see who wins! I am really excited to see how creative this gets!! Anyone want to join in on the fun?? It would be a blast if we could get a bunch of people to do it!! Come on! Spread the word! :) (Click HERE to see Courtney's post about this(she started this whole thing))

Okay, so I feel bad for not having pics...(I am obsessed with snapping pictures) so here are some ones I took of Adam today! They are pretty cute!!

Ah.. I love his blue eyes.

Devotional:



"President Gordon B. Hinckley has said of you, 'You are . . . the finest [and strongest] generation of young people ever in the history of this Church' (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley [1997], 714). I believe you have been prepared and reserved to be on the earth at this time when the challenges and opportunities are the greatest. I believe that the Lord is counting on you to be a leader for righteousness and to stand as a witness 'at all times and in all things, and in all places' (Mosiah 18:9). Indeed, it can be said of you that you are the 'bright shining hope' of the future (Gordon B. Hinckley, "Standing Strong and Immovable," Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, Jan. 10, 2004, 20)."

Moving..... PART 2

Today...... we donated all of our stuff that was for DI . I met a guy named LARRY....

Our truck full of stuff.....

Flexin' muscles so I can lift boxes!!

Big Muscles Man!!!

Devotional:

"In these preparatory years, you young women spend much of your time in schools or jobs where you receive accolades, honors, awards, ribbons, or trophies. When you move from that stage to young motherhood, there is a dramatic drop-off in outside commendation. Yet in no other capacity is there more opportunity to serve selflessly as Christ would do by taking care of hundreds of daily physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. You will bring the light of the gospel into your homes--not to be seen of others, but to build others--men and women of strength and light."

The Fabulous Forth!

Okay, so my pics for this post are kind of lame, but who can't post about a great holiday?? (Court! THAT'S who!...) erg. Anyway, yesterday our family went over to a friends house and swam, and barbecued! We also went to 5 & diner for shakes, and I got to have a sleepover! So... "No fireworks?" you ask? I know! GASP!! Well actually, I stand corrected, we saw a glimpse of some on the way to get shakes. But, ya know, that still doesn't count and we are big loser faces.

Me and Adam in the pool! At least my swim suit is RW&B!

Okay, before you go on you have to understand that I was trying to take pictures with people holding up a 4 , but then it slowly led into 'gasp' and 'Merilyn Monroe' faces, but hey, it was fun.

Adam was being nice and holding up a 4 for me!!

AWW!!!

Me, Riley, and Mossy (his real name is MOS it stands for Monkey of Sin!) (don't ask me why, it is a long story)

Here is me with Chandler , Ethan, Marylin Monroe, and Elvis!

Hope you had a great fourth!!

HSM... the musical!

Alright everyone, I know HSM has been ruined by mankind with their stupid obsessions, but you know I am always a sucker for a professional musical. SO, when I was invited to go to High School Musical on TOUR I gave in and went with my friend Sami. Yes, there were some stupid parts, but all together it was actually pretty good! We sat on the 11th row! Anyhoo, the dancing was great, and the wasn't too painful, so i wont be scarred for life or anything! It was fun!

Sam in the car...... she couldn't get control of her self.

Now she is hitting herself......

This is the program

OH! Here Trevlyn, this was a bag we made at camp!(I am sure you could do better, but,) You just use a tank top and turn it sideways. Then you cut out fabric, glue it on, and accessorize! This would be a great progect for you!!!

Girls Camp!!

So, this past week I went to Girls Camp!! WOOO! It was so much fun being there with my friends! For those of you who don't know what that is, Girls Camp is when all of the young women at my church, (12 & up) , camp out in cabins and have a lot of fun being together, learning survival skills, making crafts(I will post a picture of one of those for you later, Trevlyn!), playing games, and strengthening our testimonies. Our theme this year was "A hero lies in you" and each ward was a different superhero. We were SPIDERMAN!! It was really great, but my ankles randomly started to swell up! Isn't that weird!? Anyway, enjoy the pics!!!

Here is me doing our skit!!
This it another ward doing a funny skit! :)
We had some YCL's do a toilet fashion show!

Here was our groups creation! (My design)

This is the "looking up veiw" at the place were we have church in the trees! (notice it is a upsidown heart!)
