Speed Girls Camp

Susan our YW Stake Camp Director changed girls camp to speed camp. Mt. Lemmon was closed (fires all around AZ) and they had almost a week to plan and rearrange camp. She turned lemons into lemonade! All our Stake leaders rocked it out and made camp aWEsoME! We went swimming, paintball, archery, water games, dunk tank, horsemanship! Singing trees in the wash! 115 degree weather and all. Thanks for all the great memories!

Some of our fun fun girls!

We missed you Sis. Hopkinson...we saved your tutu!

Three Amigos...Susan made some serious lemonade!

Our AwESOme Cooks....Thanks for all the yummy food!

Tanque Verde Girls are so Cute...

See our Bishop can rock his tutu too! Nice new hairstyle

Our stake camp these was True Colors...We had orange for choice and accountability!

Thanks to Sis. Kemp we completely filled our stake center with service projects. She had over 30 women come in and volunteer time to show girls how to sew. Quilts, heart pillows and fhe kits were made.

Blazing heat, javelinas in our camp, and 110 degree weather couldn't stop us! See we made it...

TV leaders are so stylin!

Some of my awesome ycl's!

Camp wouldn't have survived without these lovely ladies!

Sweet. Sweet. Girls.

Tanis...you really are a camper! I'd go camping with you anytime!

~Adventure is out there~

Jacob, our 18 month old, LOVES the movie "UP" and adventure is really out there for these guys. They'll be hiking for almost two weeks in New Mexico. Be safe and don't go looking fore bears. Hopefully they'll take a shower before they come home. Philmont here we come.

Wicked Weekend Finale!

So we woke up bright and early, yeah right and headed to The Getty! Loved it. I totally thought of Greg, he would have loved taking pics! I didn't do that great of a job. I did take tons but they turned out all blurry. I guess i'll have to hire him to teach me about the camera. Anywho...we spent about 4 hours there and Jess was ready to shop!
Leaving the Hotel!

The Getty...

Van Gogh

Jess wanted to take this home. There were guards everywhere. You for sure couldn't touch anything. As I walked into one room my purse brused the door. Man that guard was quick, please don't touch anything even the door. It was a room that was taken apart and put back together. Everything!

She got tired of me taking pics of her and decided I needed one taken of me!

Grandma and Granddaughter...

So after The Getty. She decided she wanted to shop at the outlets in Cabazon. We made it in time to shop for about an hour. Thinking we would stay the night near them we didn't buy anything. Well after three hotels sold out and next cheapest for $199 we went into Palm Springs. If I had planned it better we would seriously not have stayed here (pic below). Not much left, spring break, we stayed there. Pretty much slept in our clothes, asked for some clean sheets and woke up at 7:30 and left asap. Grandma was great to put up with us and we teased her about PENELOPE. Ask her when you see her!

Wicked Weekend...Part 2

Went to bed at 1:00 a.m. and got up at 10 a.m. Got all ready to shop. Headed to Balbloa Island and shopped and shopped. Jess went for the jewelry! Purse in hand and ready with daddy's credit card.

Had to take this for our favorite Amelia...have fun in Rome..Love ya!

Yummy hole in the wall mexican food. Loved the rice and beans!

Missing my Jakey

I could totally live on this island. So cute. Loved the houses. Found this clock on a corner.






Got lost and found this. Jess couldn't resist!

Wicked Weekend...Part 1

Girl trip...Yipeee. Jessica turned 12 yesterday and we wanted to do something special. I found out "Wicked" was playing in CA. Bought tickets and surprised her. Picked up grandma on the way. Gilbert came to our aid and Jess LOVED riding in the tow truck. Had a 4 hour delay with car problems in Blythe but made is safely!It's almost one a.m. and they are both fast asleep! Wonder what we'll do tomorrow. Hope the car doesn't break.
