YES, WE REALLY DO HAVE EIGHT!

YES, We Really Do Have Eight!

I love babies. When my babies hit their first birthday, I long once again for that tiny helpless little person that smells like baby powder and doesn't squirm away when you're staring at his beautiful little face. Now don't get me wrong. I love the other stages too. I laugh out loud when I hear the jibber jabber of his first words (Jackson). I giggle when I see one dance hysterically when she hears a Justin Bieber song (Bekkah). I beam with pride when she puts gospel principals into action as she prepares for her upcomming baptism (Emily). I am amazed over and over as he accepts and conquers challenges far beyond his years (Ammon). I burst with pride as I watch his determination and drive in all that he sets his mind to (Zane). I melt when I see the empathy, and concern she has for others (Mckenzie). I have to catch my breath when I see him snuggle with his baby brother (Zachary). I am amazed as I read his letters from his mission (Tres). I guess I just love it all. And this is why I have, despite my horrible pregnancies, we have eight beautiful, talented, amazing, wonderful children!

Girls Camp (my mom made me do this)

So ya Girls Camp. It was cool. Our theme this year was "How the West was ONE" they really emphasized on the ONE part. Monday we had a huge party. We had a dance smores and roping. After the party President Jarvis had moms that had sons talk to us about the kind of girl they want their sons to marry. So we learned about that and it was really cool. Tuesday we went on a hike and it wasn't that hard actually. We walked about a mile up to a creek hung there for like an hour then walked back. 2 minutes after we got back it started raining!!! Then it rained harder. Then it hailed!!! And the third years weren't back for their hike yet!! So we had to sit in out cabin for like an hour. it wasn't that bad though cause we had chocolate, oreos, and peanut butter!!! All we did was tell funny stories but it was one of my favorite days. That night we went on a "snipe" hunt. We had to put tooth paste on our faces! After we heard that we knew snipes wernt real. We went anyway. But only the YCLs were allowed to bring flash lights!! So we left and they told us to watch out for bears. So i got too scared and came back be for the "bear" attack. Tuesday we also had a Horseless Rodeo. We had roping, a cherry pit spit, hair curling, and bingo. The record for the cherry spit pit was 25 ft!! Hair curling all we did was tie out hair up in rags and it came out SUPER curly!!!! It was really cool!!!But my FAVORITE part was singing trees. Each ward sang a song and had flashlight pointing up at the trees. If you used a little imagination it really looked like the trees were singing. I ALMOST cried during that. The other times i felt the spirit REALLY strongly was whenever President Jarvis spoke to us. Even if it was a simple "hi" or "how are you?" i felt the spirit. Well those were the high light of my girls camp experience!!
