Utah Trip

My parents were very nice to let me join in on their trip to Utah. We stayed with my brother and sister-in-law, Spencer and Emily, and I had a fun time hanging out with them and their kids.
We took a nice leisurely trip up there and stopped at this cave along the way.
It was needless to say a tourist trap, but we discovered that the man who runs it used to live in Tempe. My Dad can always find some connection with people where ever he goes.




The Gift Shop Special

That was totally Wicked!

I was finally able to cash in my Christmas present this past Friday when Brad and I went and saw Wicked! I was so excited to go and It was definitely worth waiting for, so awesome! Brad, you're the best, Thanks so much!

Mt. Humphreys

Brad and I, his sister Christie and Dad Hiked Mt. Humphrey's this weekend. It is the Highest peek in Arizona reaching 12,633 feet and we made it to the top! The wind was very mighty, I'm just glad we didn't fly off the top :)

No boys allowed!

Girls camp: Be Loyal to the Royal within.
It was such a blast! We laughed,we cried, we danced and played games.
I just love the girls and leaders I was with this year. I couldn't have asked for anything more, they were just so positive and wonderful.
Here is just a little peek into the awesome time we had

Chopsticks!

I'm going to camp again as a cabin mom next week, so we've been having fun gathering up ideas for decorations etc. Our ward's theme is Mulan, so for our activity this week we made fans, paper lanterns and painted Chinese words on posters. I though it would be fun for the pictures for our ward poster to have the girls put their hair up in chopsticks and I have come to find that it is harder and more painful than it looks!
My nieces were brave enough to let me practice on them, but I was never able to master to skill.


Neither of these dos lasted very long.

So we cheated and put our hair up with rubber bands then stuck in the chopsticks. Oh well you can't even tell from the front anyway :)

Brad The Grad!

Brad Graduated from ASU today with a degree in Molecular Biosciences and Biotechnolgy! He has worked so hard and I am just so proud of him :)

We're done!!

Yay the semester is offically finished!
