Girls Camp - 2009

Girls Camp has come and gone! What a ton of work for such a short period of time....it seems to go by way too quick, but it is always so worth it. This was Mariah's first year of Girls Camp and I know she was more than a little nervous. Thanks to some awesome Laurels and Mia Maids, they made Mariah and the other young Beehives feel right at home.

To tell the truth, I wasn't really looking forward to camp. But I am glad that I went. It was just what I needed. The girls in the ward are so bubbly and so cute. I don't think that I have ever laughed that hard over some of the silliest things. Camp has kind of given me a new outlook towards life - instead of just sitting back and just doing what I need to do in order to get by....I need to go out there, try new things, laugh more, don't watch others having fun - just go out and do it myself!

Garden Flowers

As I was walking around my yard the other day, I noticed the bright colors of some of the flowers that I had planted. Thinking that this would be a good opportunity to try some new and different things with my camera, off I went. Hope you enjoy the results.

Graduation!

On June 5, 2009, Bryce was one of 383 graduates in the first graduating class from Syracuse High School. Way to go Bryce! We are so proud of Bryce and all his accomplishments! We are also very excited for this next step in his life.

Misc Pictures

Ok, so I figured out what I was doing wrong! So here are a few pictures of Jake's guitar concert and his 7 on 7 competition at Weber County Fairgrounds. And a fun one of Mariah!

Computer Madness!

I'm been working on new posts for the family blog and trying to add pictures to the boy's individual posts and wouldn't you know it....for some stupid reason I can't add pictures. I worked on Mariah's just fine and now I can't seem to do anything with the boy's posts. Maybe I will wait for a while and then try again! Computers are getting to be the bain of my existence!

Jacob

What a crazy few weeks for Jacob! Ever since school has been out, Jacob has been practicing with the Syracuse High School football team first thing in the morning. This past week he was at the BYU Football Camp with his cousin, Tyler. This week he will be busy with Titan Football Camp.

Keep up the hard work, Jake!
