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!

Scary Bird

For all those bird lovers out there, please don't be offended, but let's just say birds are not my favorite animal. At some point throughout my life I have developed a fear of them. I had a bird when I was younger, and I was terrified of it, its little beady eyes and sharp beak, the way it could hop,fly, and peck with the greatest of ease....
Anyway, outside my apartment I have a few plants that I go out and water each morning. Each morning this bird comes out of the tree and sits atop of the pool fence and squawks at me. At first I thought this was a coincidence, but it has become a trend. Needless to say this experience creates a little bit anxiety for me.
I explain this situation to Brad, and it may have sounded hard to believe that this bird was singling me out.
I went out this morning... no bird, then in a matter of moments, there it is resuming its position. So this morning I went out prepared to capture a picture of my "fine feathered friend" in the act.
