YW Camp 2007

me, Heidi Jarnagin, Kyndal Louk, Taylor Hyatt (all in my ward)

Our lonely camp while all the girls are doing archery, swimming, canoes, crafts, bb guns, etc.

Sarah Phelps, Peyton Green, Megan Richards (on her birthday Megan got a "heart attack" and a crown).

The girls decorated clothes pins and they turned out so cute (my idea, yay for me).

More girls working on crafts.

I was the leader over the Level 3 girls. There were 17 total and I had 3 other adults helping me....plus Youth Camp Leaders who loved nurturing the level 3s. The whole week was lots of fun. It required a lot of preparation beforehand and exhausting days during the week. I loved being there. Although, I also loved coming home to Justin and sleeping for 13 hours straight. Maybe I'll go again next year.

sunday

Our Crepe Myrtle tree has blossomed and I love the hot pink blossoms (behind us in the photo). Justin was the V.I.P.P. in Sharing Time at church and told the kids about his painting career, how he wants a pug dog one day and how he doesn't like celery, etc. I'm sure they loved it. I taught the lesson on prayer to the 14-15 year old girls. We miss teaching together on Sundays but, really, we're together enough during the week.

Oh, also, Justin and I coordinate our outfits (not purposefully) way too often. Today was one of those days. I guess black is pretty basic...but sometimes it is way too cute, it becomes embarrassing.

I'm going to Girls Camp for the rest of the week (18-22). I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post when I get back.

Have a great day!

bloomin' tree

The tree in our front yard has beautiful flowers. And my cute hanging ferns on the porch are doing so well.

mini cake delights

I found a recipe online for "cake balls" and it caught my attention. Turns out they are delicious...so I added a little twist to the recipe and changed the name to "cake delights." Much better. Decorating them is fun. All of them have chocolate cake inside but if I were to open my own "cake ball" shop, I would have at least 21 various flavors and intricate toppers.
