I did it!

Goodness, I have had "update blog" on my list of things to do since finals! AnD... I finally did! I don't know where I got the idea, but someone told me you can print your blogs... that's perfect! I don't have time for scrapbooking or intense journal writing, so this serves both purposes! 18 new posts later I am all caught up! I am leaving for EfY tomorrow morning and won't be home 'til July 5th! I have two sessions in Flagstaff and one in Thatcher... so until then I think I have given you all plenty to read! :)

Bryna is...

MARRIED! Can you believe it? ... I can't! Bryna is Meliny's Cousin and Meg's cousin (both on different sides of the family), both of whom were my rooomates... Bryna used to come and visit us at EA when she was still in high school to check out the volleyball program. The next year she lived with Kelsey, Melindy and I! I love her and her family! Her and Tyler are so cute together! Congratulations Bryna! You looked beautiful!

ps... it was REALLY good to see MeLinDY. She came home from Aspen for the wedding.

When the heat starts to get to you...

I think it hit them today! Brittany and Rocky came out of their rooms dressed like ThIs! Swim caps, long-sleeve rash guards, flippers, goggles and a SnOrKeL. I am surprised rocky didn't put on his wetsuit! haha It's been fun being home this summer and hanging out with my siblings... but sometimes they're a little toO WiErD for me!! so then I just take pictures :)

EFY Phoenix Session

tHIS WAS MY fIRST wEEK OF eFy AND i abSOlUTElY loVed IT ...

i Had the 14-15 yr old age group, which I was really worried about because last year I only ever had 16-18. But they were great and SO much fun! They wore me out... but I loved it.

Gioia is a ballroom dancer, she competes and she is ReAlLy good at it...



Shelby was one of my girls last year... and she was here this year! I love her red hair, she's a cute girl.


The Boys: they put rocks in my backpack, talked while I was talking, acted gay one day, and threw rocks at eachother.... all in the life of a 14 year old!!






top: Jon Will Chace bottom: Alex Colton Me Eric Ryan George. These were my favorite boys.
The Boys gave me a run for my money. They tortured me in every way possible... i'm so happy i never had to be a 14 year old boy... ThEy're SO annoying! But they had their sweet moments as well. They all had a love for the gospel and were eager to learn! By the end they spent free time with me and would eat meals with me! So Cute!

Chace and Will. These boys never game me ANY trouble. I loved them!


THese ArE my Co-Counselors, Curtis and Heather... we made it through the week together! and that's the Only Way I would have made it!

The Mendenhalls were our session directors. They were good with the Kids. THey did a magic trick in the variety show with a banana and a hankerchief. so funny.

THe service project this year is to knit hats for babies. So fun! The kids all caught on really fast.

Sisters

When Layne was here she practiced with her camera on Brittany and I. I love love love the first two. The best part is they were taken in the back yard.

My TwO Favorite PeoPle!

Life stops around here when the girls come over... ANd We LoVE it! They are so much fun!
Layne took these pics when she was here... I LOVE them!

The Little Mermaid and Cinderella are the ONLY two movies we watch when she is here. SHe loves them and knows them by heart. She is the master of high heels. She can run in them!

Chloe likes to tell you what to do... the other day grandma came over and she wanted her to sit next to her on the kitchen floor and read her her books... Grandma Did IT! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen... and Chloe loved it. She loves to go to grandma and grandpa's house and to see Munchkin (the dog).

Sophie is ALWAYS smiling! She is such a good baby, so sweet. She is always always moving. She loves to talk and coo and smile. She wakes up so happy!

Chloe loves to read her books. She has these 6 little books that we've read to her since we was only like 6mo old. They're her favorites, no other books will do. She can now read them to us... She has them memorized... WoRd for WoRd! It's hilarious.

Chloe also loves Simba. She will stay outside and play with Simba all day if we let her. The wierdest thing is that Simba is pretty good about tolerating her and playing along. Chloe sits on her, feeds her the wierdest things and talks to her! They sit on the bench together, play in Simba's water and make messes! I think Simba is happy when we make Chloe come inside!

Chloe also loves to dance. Her and Brittany sit at the computer, blast iTunes and dance. It's one of Chloe's most favorite things to do. She loves to sing and has the whole "Part of That World" song memorized from Little Mermaid. She has her own mix that Brittany made her and they love to dance to it... she has some very interesting moves!

I LOVE THESE 2 LITTLE GIRLS!! THEY ARE MY TWO MOST FAVORITE PEOPLE. I GET SO EXCITED WHEN THEY COME OVER! I NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THEM!
