Utah! EFY and more!

The pics are all messed up but atleast they all made it on! haha! EFY was AMAZING! i met such great people (yes, boys:)) and many great speakers! I will miss my company so much but its good we atleast can all keep in touch through facebook and texting! my favorite part of the whole experience was the huge YW/YM medley that ALL of the youth sang together! it was the "Zion Medley" which made about 99.9% of the room in tears! (yes that includes me) and from that we went straight to the testimony meeting which was amazing as well! After EFY i went to one of my big family reunions and luckily got to take Mckenzie with me! there was a huge tarp/slip 'n' slide for everyone to go down which is what we spent doing the whole time in soffees and t-shirts:P after that we hiked up a small hill behind the house thing and there was a HUGE feild that went about 1 mile around of just green! as we kept walking we saw hay barrels stacked that we climbed and boy was it just B-E-A-UTIFUL! I gained anew respect towards Idaho!

this is Max:) he was 17, 6'4'' and... well.. yeah:)

me in the green!

the "fantastic four" on the hay barrels! look at the view!!
by the hotel there was a river so i snapped a shot of my baby!
this is how me and Kenzie felt about leaving EFY behind:(

Update!

Sorry it has been so long, but here is what i am up to lately! today i gave a talk in sacrament meeting and wow!! nerve wrecking to the max! but i survived!

Look at my new best friends! they are oh so sweet! They live across the street from me and today i got lucky to steal them for about an hour just to show off to my family how lucky i am to get to watch them on some weekends:)

I found this pic on the computer and i edited it to make it cool! I love this bug!

Moms Day Out!!!!

I am doing moms day out again this year! last week was the first day, and it was "western day"! this weeks theme is animal day! it is such a blast and a great way to earn money in the summertime! here are pics i took of each of the kids last week (these are not all the kids that attended, but just some)

Babysitting Palooza!!!

SUMMER!! - need i say more?:)

I love summertime! sleeping in, watching movies every night, lessons, friends, shopping, friends, swimming etc.! One disadvantage about summer activities is that it all costs money!! I happen to be very blessed because I am a female:) i have the "nurturing abilities" that men do not have- says my father. With that ability, I get tonnnsss of babysitting calls! It is so nice to know that a job is just a phone call away from anyone! i get a call ATLEAST once a week for babysitting and it rocks! its such a fun and easy job!

This past week i have babysat 3 families, and that is pretty normal for a summer week! today, actually, i babysat for a sweet family for 9 hours!! it was long, but fun and definentaly worth it! i love getting to know kids, and learning how to pull different strings;) GO BABYSITTING!

Hmmm... I'm now sensing a shopping trip....

dolly's with dad

I came home from school the other day seeing this. yep, they are playing dolls.
