My girls!

I love these girls! Sometimes hard things happen in our lives, but that is when we have to stick together the most and help eachother through the hard stuff. Chani was 5 months pregnant with twins and we were all very excited for her! she was due in December. But, in August she lost them. Chani and Jory and their families held a funeral for the twin girls at the cemetary in Thatcher. It was probably one of the hardest things I have seen a girl my same age go through. BUT Chani is a ROCK! She said I know I'll see my little girls again and get to raise them and they just must have been too good for this wicked world! Her and Jory are so strong and I am grateful to share their same beliefs to know that there is life after death and that FAMILIES ARE FOREVER! It was so touching to see how changed she was. Chani is a mommy now, she just is at a different stage than us now! I LOVE HER! I know things will be hard for her for a while, but I know she'll get through it. I am happy that all of us girls were able to pull together and support her. We were like a well oiled machine: Moriah made the call and we were all there. Thanks Moriah for keeping us all informed.

You can tell moriah, terra and I had a rough day!

These last pictures are from when we(OK NOT ME), when THEY, wrote their names in the new concrete that the goodman's just had poured. THe worker guy told them he'd let them know when they could do it, and he did. I was against it bc I knew someone would get mad. SO i went to my night class: sign language. When I came home i found they all wrote their initials as to not be easily identified as the culprit. However, moriah lovingly wrote "MO + PAM= BFF" HA I was the only one that had my whole name on there and I DIDN'T EVEN DO IT!!! so funny. good thing the goodman's loved me! Other names in the sidewalk: Terra Farr, Megan Mattice, Katie Bean, Bryna Haymore, Sarah Garcia, Kelsey Reader, Bret Smith.

Good times Good times! We did that in Dec of 2006. The rumor was that they were going to resurface it... but it's still there!

An escape with the grandparents

Last summer my sister and I went to visit our grandparents when they camped along the rim in Northern AZ. But this year she was at school so I went all by myself!!! It was great. I love to be with them by myself. Grandma made me hot chocolate every morning... it was august but it was still freezing there! Grandpa, grandma and i would hike down to the sink hole everyday too. Grandpa always asks if i am afraid the dinosaurs are going to get me! It really does look like a scene from jurassic park! We have such a good time there!

My mom and dad came up with rocky on Saturday night. We barbequed chicken, had salad and garlic toast and then roasted marshmellows for some SmOres! it was yummy! Its so nice to escape the city sometimes! It's so quiet up there.

Even Munchkin likes it! Grandpa says her legs get shorter and shorter because grandma does loop a and b with her at least once if not twice a day, that's like 3 miles!!

IT's fun for everyone. I like to just sit and read. grandpa prefers to circle the camp and talk to EVERYONE! he remembers their names and their dog's names too! it's funny!

This year we had 4 hummingbird feeders. the birds were everywhere!

We went and visited some of the surrounding lakes, had icecream and took pictures one day. I love being there!

Yet ANOTHER WEDDING!

Am I old or what!!! :) Donald just got married too!! I love his cute new wife Lauren! They're perfect for eachother and are SO happy together! It was good to see him so happy! I traveled to thatcher with Ryan, James & Ashley. It was fun... the whole way Ashley read Twilight to James... he pretended he thought the plot was stupid (as did Ryan) but secretly I know they both didn't want her to stop reading! Those books are addicting! Congrats Don and Lauren! You both looked great!

I got to see Cori, Jeremy and their cute little boy Garrett! They're a fun little family!

Jenny and I were thinking of taking him home! :)



Kaylyn (Larson was there too!!) I haven't seen her in FOrEVer!!

This next year isn't going to be the same without Sonya! I miss her and BYU!!!

The whole crew! I miss them all! Allison, Amy, Kelsey, McKay, Me, Moriah, Terra, Aaron, Jenny,SOnya!

Brittany goes to college

Brittany Moved to THATCHER! I have to say I was quite jealous. Her and I took a trip together in the beginning of August to get her key/ pay her tuition. All the good stuff. I love that little town and if you went to Stake Conference here in AZ you'd know that President Packer refers to it as "THE VALLEY!" By chance, Britt is living in my very same apartment! It was wierd to go back and see here moving her stuff in to MY HouSe! She love EA now, but at first it took some adjusting... moving from the thriving city of Phoenix to the rural farm town of thatcher takes A LITTLE ADJUSTING! There are very few places you go now in AZ where: the railroad tracks are the source of the loudest noise in town, it's rare to hear an airplane fly over, tractors frequent the highway(the main and only road that stretches the length of the town) It's a special place... I lOVE thatcher.
