Girls Camp

I just got back from Girls Camp Friday afternoon. We had a record setting 24 girls with us this year which is double the amount we had last year. I love going to camp for a couple of main reasons; first of all I get to pretend to be young again and be silly with the girls; second I am reminded that we are all sisters and daughters of God. I feel the spirit everyday with these girls camping in this beautiful country of ours. I LOVE being outdoors and seeing all the wonderful things Heavenly Father created for us. Now I just need to catch up on all the sleep I missed.

My latest creation

Here is the cake I made just last night. Everything is made out of frosting (except the ribbon).

I think I'm going to have to make a cake once a week from now on or all the people at Ben's work will be going through sugar withdrawl. ; )

T-ball

Brandon just started playing t-ball and he loves it! All the kids are 4-6 years old, so they are just learning how to play. All the kids get to hit and run around the bases and just have fun learning the game.

This was a close one, but Brandon was safe! It's still pretty cold here, but with all the running they do I guess they stay pretty warm. All the parents are in long pants, coats and blankets- imagine that!

My new favorite thing to do......

WASTING GAS! Last night Sara had play practice and when she came out she told Ben that she had practice again tomorrow (today) at 10:00am. I get up early, shower, get the kids up, breakfast, everyone dressed and out the door by 9:00am. When we get to the theatre in Pocatello no one is there. After extensive questioning Sara says her practice is on Saturday- "isn't that today?" NO, that is not today! I just got up early, drove 2 hours and wasted 1/4 tank of gas for nothing. SIGH....

Baptism

Sara was baptized on Saturday and she was so excited! It was a busy weekend, but she had lots of fun. Ben did a great job and I am so grateful to have the priesthood in my home.

Sara loved the fact that she got to share this special day with one of her best friends; Madison. Sara got a set of scriptures with a case, a white handkerchief and pretty jewelery. Thanks to everyone involved!

Brandon loses teeth!

Brandon lost his first tooth a week before we went to Disneyworld and his second one a few days later. The first one I pulled out and the second one he pulled out. He talks a bit funny, but the new teeth are already coming in. He was so excited to finally lose some teeth like his big sister.

Plumber

Here is the result of the leak in our basement. The plumber came out and $393 later the pipe was fixed and I have this fancy access panel in the ceiling. Yeah, lesson learned...do NOT leave hoses connected over the winter!
