Cambria 2011

We were able to go to Cambria California for a week with my sister and her family. We had so much fun the drive is long but when you have a destination like Cambria it makes it all worth it. We left Hurricane and later found out that it got to a whopping 110 degrees in H-Town, we weren't surprised because when we got to Barstow it was even hotter at 115 degrees. Then driving into Cambria the beauty of California it was 55 degrees, yes 55 degrees. It was FABULOUS! Cool at night and warm during the day. This year was especially wonderful because it was a tad bit warmer making it possible for us to lay out and lay in the sun at the beach all day every day. Usually it doesn't get warm enough to get in the water, well the kids do but they freeze, but this year was wonderful. Corry said the water was great as soon as your body gets numb. Here are a few pictures we had so fun. Thanks Mom and Mike for letting us go and enjoy the beauty of another of our Father In Heaven's creations.

Wedding Day

My brother Chance FINALLY decided to marry his beautiful Brooke on Saturday.  It was such a wonderful moment for us all.  Brooke is finally my "sister" and I couldn't be happier.  She is wonderful, amazing, loving, kind, thoughtful and the best mom ever to our cutest little Maddox.  Chance and Brooke had a very sweet ceremony with the backdrop of Zion Canyon.  I don't think I have ever seen Chance so happy ever before in my life.  His grin was true grin and I will never forget it.  Maddox was so cute, during the ceremony he said, "this is a good day" what a cute boy he is.  I saw him later in the bathroom and he told me that he was wearing his wedding dress.  It was priceless.  After the ceremony we had a great dinner and a fun reception with lots of great treats.  It was fun being able to visit with all my family in one place.  I love my family and my new sister Brooke! 

GIRLS camp 2011 "Mission Possible"

Ok my 5th girls camp was a hit.  We were sent on missions and we were sent to the Philippines.  We had to find out all we could about the Philippines before we left.  We found out that there are tons and tons of frogs everywhere, they make purses and all kinds of things with them.  We made frogs our mascot and Lora McLaughlin made the cutest frog glass beaded necklaces and then Joyce Beagly made the cutest frog purses for everyone.  Rosella made the biggest frog you ever saw as our mascot and we named her Lilly.  She was stolen a few times at camp but we found her.  Rosella also made everyone a mug with a frog on it, they are so so cute.  We also were taught a very cool Filipino stick dance which we performed for our country's show case.  I have to say our showcase was the best one, thanks to the Hirschi girls who taught it to us.  A few other things we did were, rock climbing (which I made it to the top) I was very proud of myself.  Zip line (which I survived), and canoeing (which I loved).  I loved being there with Sydney to capture all the wonderful moments of girls camp.  What a great experience it was I don't know if I will go again next year....lets see if I get asked.

My car broke down on the way to kolob, these strong grils had to push my van up a vey steep mountain.

The cute glass frog Lora made for everyone.  I loved mine, they all were different.

Canoeing

We spoiled the Uniters (5th and 6th years) while all the younger girls were on a hike.  Lora made them crowns and we had a tea party for our princesses.

Where the Wild Things Are

Our good friend, Jason, came down from Provo to visit and asked if he could take Dylan and Jackson and do two little photo sessions;   the first session, Heroes, was Dylan and Jackson being a few of their favorite superheroes just being boys.  The second session, Where the Wild Things Are, was Dylan acting the part of Max, otherwise known as the Wild Thing.  They turned out so good I have to show everyone they brought a tear to my eye.
