Finally, it's HOT!

It was finally warm enough to try out our new waterslide. Evie had a ball playing in the water, and she has begged me every day since to play in the water. She had fun playing with her cousins and aunts & uncle. This is one reason I like that it's finally hot. Other than that, it could stay cool all year long!

Grandpa Don't bday party

Of course, I throw a party, and forget to take pictures DURING the party! Evie helped me set up the back yard. It was a perfect night to host a birthday dinner for grandpa Don. The flowers are from a bush that neighbor my yard with another, and I didn't even know it was there until a few days earlier. When I set the table, I remembered it, and cut some branches off! I love how it turned out.

YW lesson on Missionary work

Here is my handout for the lesson a couple sunday's ago. It was on being a missionary. I think it was cute enough to take a picture...and a little cheesy... But, that's what YW handouts are all about, right!?!?

Youth Conference 2011

We had a wonderful time at youth conference last week! We went to Snow College and Evie got to play with grandma & grandpa. There were wonderful activities that included the Manti Pagaent, Water games, ropes course & group games.

Here's Justin on a slip 'n slide. We rotated around a huge field playing these water games.

One of the rotations took us to a cotton candy machine! YUM! This is my favorite! Another thing we did was rode a bicycle built for two! I have always wanted to do that, and it was as fun as I anticipated!

Here is Justin on the blow-up slip 'n slide. I did this too, but thank goodness, no one caught how graceful I was on it!

It's time for summer crafts!

congrats grad!

We have a few girls in my church youth group graduating on Friday. This is what I made for them.

I cut and put the vinyl on the jar and then made a tag that says "you're a smart cookie" and then filled it with oreo cookies!

Congrats to all those grads out there!
