Knights & Dragons

This year's party for Corben was cool, we decided to do Knights & Dragon's. Jed and I came up with a great Idea and had to sell Corben on it, he wanted to do Zelda. This is Sir Corben. The two Princesses trapped in the tower!
The Grumpy Dragon. In order to slay them the kids had to tell him jokes!
Corben's Joke FREED US!!!

This is the cake I made this year!

Corben Opening his presents! He got lots of great presents from his great friends!!

Oh My!

Corben came running in my room the other day exclaiming, MOM THEY HAVE THIS SHOE HOLDER THAT HOLDS 15 PAIRS OF SHOES AND IT IS ONLY $10!!!!!
He thought it was the most amazing thing! I don't think it was worth being woken up for though!
(Maybe he'll get one of the shoe holders that hang over the door for Christmas... Sounds like a cheep gift to me!)

Girls Camp

I was delighted when I received a call from our wards YW President asking if I would be willing to spend 3 of the 5 days at girls camp. It took no time at all for me to JUMP at the chance! I love girls camp and the Young Women. We had a lovely time and my family were all intact when I arrived home 3 days latter. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

I arrived just in time for hike day! This is Sam and I as we start the hike!

This is the creek we crossed. They asked me to head up the back to make sure there was no stragglers and well we got left behind as we had a handicapped girl in front of us. Oh well we did a different hike and got back before anyone else.

I just loved the creek,so beautiful!

A cool tree that we found on our hike! I love that it looks dead and alive!

Since we got back before everyone else I asked the stake if I could take Sam rock hopping since she didn't get to do the hike. (look at the water bottle holders I made for the girls! Aren't they cute!)

Proof I really did go rock hopping!

(I slipped shortly after this and got a bruise on the bottom of my big toe! Ouch!!)

This is the girls skit! They were old grannies who were reminiscing about the old days

(and the Jonas Brothers!)

Wendy and I. I'm so glad I got to know her better she's AWESOME!

This is Brother Vaden he's been going to girls camp for over 20 years! He rocks! (he's also in our ward!) In this picture is also our wards flag that I helped make! Our wards theme was Jonas and the Whales.

Family Camp Out!

We planed a family camp out with my brothers and about a day or so before my brother Chance called me and said I don't think we'll be going cuz it's going to rain. Well we said fine and decided to go any ways a little rain never hurt any one.

We left Friday mid morning and we were going to stay till Sunday afternoon, my dad and other brothers wife were going to meet us on Saturday.
When we got to Knoll Lake it was beautiful, we stayed at a managed camp site with pottys and running water. They had campsites that had a nice flat spot for your tent, a picnic table, fire pit and even a grill. It was the perfect spot! Then the rain came, and it kept coming, all night long, our tent started leaking and Jed fixed it and we were off to bed. Well when we woke up to birds chirping we thought oh it's going to be a nice day, and minutes later it started raining again and our tent started leaking more. After looking out side and seeing that it was incredibly muddy and not sure when or if the rain would let up we decided to cut our losses. We packed everything up and headed back home and called everyone to tell them it was a flop!

Due to all the rain pictures were not taken except for the few I took on the way up of the clouds. On the way we drove thru some really dense patches kinda scary!

Below is the damage done to our truck on the way down the Mt.!

We may try again before school starts again!

Ok I haven't forgotten you!

I KNOW, I KNOW it has been a LONG time but I have been lazy with downloading pictures and then going to girls camp and then had Corben's birthday party this has just been on the back burner.

Alex's play was AWESOME, he did a great job. I regret to inform you that I have no pictures. I do have a video of it but it is to big to get on here Jed tried. We may break it down in to segments, but for now I have nothing.

Corben had a water day at school the last week of school I have lots of picts I'll share with you!

Here is Corben with his Awesome teacher Mrs. Harris (she didn't want me to take it cuz she looks so grubby, but I love it cuz it shows that she loves playing with her kids!)

They has LOTS of WATERMELON for the kids to eat!

I'll be back I have LOTS more post!
