More Urban Renewal

Before:

I decided that my bed room needed a little pick me up, it looked way to boring. I have been loving the Aqua color that all the decorators are using, so I added some to my room

After:

I covered all my pillows that I already

had with some coordinating prints.

Then I made pillows for my foot bench

Used the scraps for a piecework pillow for the chair

I had a great time collecting frames and mirrors from around the house (one from a thrift store), to frame the top of the wall. This was a so much fun and it only cost a few dollars for fabric.

It's a Boy, I think?

Trevor was in a auto accident a few weeks ago and they totaled his Lancer. So he bought himself this awesome Mini Cooper Sport. It is fully loaded and has a Turbocharged engine. Have him take you for a ride it is a blast!

I think this about as close as we are going to get to a Grandchild,

so I guess will enjoy his new toy.

Sisters!

Sisters, Sisters,

there were never such devoted Sisters!

I smile because you are my sister,

I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!

A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams.

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost

What's the good of news if

you haven't a sister to share it?

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.

How do people make it through life without a sister?

A sister is a forever friend

Happy Birthday

Life Is Good... Can You Tell

We had an amazing Girls Camp this year. Our theme was "Life is Good...Can you tell?". The focus was on attitude. We taught a class about "Attitude is Everything"

The girls laughed , sang, danced, hiked, played ,gave service, learned leadership, crafted, rappelled, built fires, did knife carving, outdoor cooking, and all manners of other certifying. They built some great new friendships with each other and their leaders and had many opportunities to feel the spirit.

You can tell by the photos that as the Stake Young Women's Presidency we had a blast!

We had an evening that was "Road Show Night". All the wards participated with a song and dance routine. We were assigned a dance number that required us to dress like salt and pepper. This is our interpretation of it.

We dressed alike everyday, to help the girls identify us easier and get to know us a little faster.

Every evening we went from cabin to cabin and sang some sort of crazy goodnight song. I'm sure it really settled them down for the night.

Meet The
"Fantastic Four"

J, M, D, & T. Yes we really called ourselves "The Fantastic Four" we wore capes, goggles, flew around the cabins, did high kicks, made up super hero bedtime songs, wore glow in the dark lipstick, laughed ourselves silly and clapped away the skunks. We came home exhausted!
Thanks to all the ward and Stake Leaders who helped make it happen!
