Ward Camp Out

Last weekend was my ward campout which i felt was quite unsuccessful! My Parents and brother in law made an awesome dutchoven dinner and cobbler, which everyone loved. There was a lot of ward bonding going on and i think everyone became pretty good friends. We got to watch the inspirational movie "Happy Feet" on the projector and When we floated the river there was only one injury and one pair of lost sunglasses! so when everything was said and done i think everyone really enjoyed themselves. Not many people got a lot of sleep which i think is either a sign of onery children or people really enjoying themselves..and since there was no children camping with us i'm going to guess people were having fun. Here are some picutres from the weekend...

Once everyone else finally went to bed me and Diana just couldn't sleep still so we took pictures




Michael came and hung out while his dad helped cook dinner


this is how we look when we get excited while camping


the group bonding..

Hiking the windcaves

My Mother and I went and Hiked up to the windcaves last sunday. It is one of my favorite places to go here in Logan. It is always so beautiful and the hike is always so nice. It was also lots of fun to spend some time with my mom. She is amazing woman and it is always good to spend time with her.

The 4th Of July

Alot of celebrating went on for the 4th of July weekend. On the 3rd the family went and watched the Logan Fireworks. On Friday my friend shannon planned a big shin-dig. It started with a party at her house. then we all went to the Lewiston Fireworks, then we all headed to Riverdale to the property to camp. The next day we all floated the river it was the first time i floated the river for the year. It was all alot of fun and i wasn't ready for the weekend to end.

Michael at the fireworks

Shannon and Tony at the Lewiston Fireworks

Shannon had these costumes and two of the guys dressed up in them and came running out screaming while we were at the river. They were suppose to scare people but i think people were more just confused why there was a giant bunny and gorilla.

Among the Wild Flowers

My Dad has always had a really pretty rose garden, but this year the roses seem extra pretty. So i thought i would post some pictures that he took.

Boating/Birthday Party!

My Friend that has always taken me boating got married this year so i hadn't been at all yet this year so when shannon's ward had their boating party i decided to go it was a lot of fun to see alot of people i graduated with and spend the day at the lake. That night i threw a birthday party for my friend Diana it was quite the busy day and tons of fun!



So the cake had a couple of holes in it and the frosting sunk in but besides that i thought i did a pretty good job


Everyone singing Karaoke

Waxing Party

a couple of weekends ago i went to spend the night with my friend shannon when i got there she surprised me with wax saying we were having a waxing party. This may be more information then i should share on a blog, but the experience was very new for me. She started waxing my nose hairs. Right now i am completely nose hairless...it's a weird feeling. ANYWAYS I'm glad for my friend shannon and even if she does have weird ideas sometimes it's always an adventure when we hang out.
