Girls Camp

I got the opportunity to be the camp director for our ward!  I was feeling very inadequate for the job but It was a great experience. We are blessed with an amazing Young Womens Presidency that was so helpful. We Had 23 girls and 10 leaders it was such a fun uplifting experience. We went to Paris Idaho. We floated the river at Lava,went through the Minnetonka cave,swam at Bear Lake,did some fun skits, ate lots of yummy food. Our bishopric came up the last night and made us dutch oven pizza and gave us a great devotional. Overall it was an awesome week!

 My sisters and sisters-in-law. I had so much fun with these ladies. We would all squish into a vehicle and make midnight runs to Walmart, Sonic and a gas station that had Dr Pepper slushies. I wish we lived closer to everyone so we could hang out more often.
We brought my nephew James back with us for the Summer. He was so excited when we got to this sign he made me get a picture!He is such a sweetheart we have really enjoyed having him with us!

More Missouri

 We had so much fun in Missouri. We got to reconnect with cousins.
 Ate lots of Grandpas corn. The best corn ever. It is seriously so yummy and sweet!
 This guy usually disappeared on the farm somewhere but I happened to catch a pic of him.
 They all loved catching crawdads and boiling and eating them. Or playing with them.
 We ate lots of yummy BBQ foods!
We played in the creek at the Trout Farm.
Eating a crawdad.

June 2012 New Mexico/Missouri

We headed out to Missouri the first week in June. We stopped in New Mexico to drop off Chris at a job and then the kids and I drove the 14 hours to my parents. Thank goodness for Dr.Pepper and sunflower seeds. While we were in New Mexico we went to the Indian Ruins,they were pretty cool.
 I love when I can capture sweet moments like this. Gav was afraid Treag was going to fall while he was running down this trail, so he ran up and took his hand.
 The kids thought it was so cool that  someone could carve a home into the mountainside.
 Pretty amazing sight to see.
 While we were in Missouri Chris was able to join us after the New Mexico job for a few days. We were able to get a picture of all the siblings and their spouses.Here is the crazy group. One of my sister inlaws is expecting so when this baby comes my parents will have 2 dozen grandkids.
My Dad and Mom and  my siblings. We haven't all been together in awhile,so it was fun to be together again for a few days.
