Whew! Crazy past few weeks! Girl's Camp, days at the lake, family
coming in, project after project! My bestie Alyson and I took on the
challenge of making the Father's Day treats for the dads in our ward.
Although it was a little stressful trying to make bags, a banner, and
bake brownies when my siblings and their families came in (no one told
me!!) it was totally worth it to see our end result and to mark off
another project for Personal Progress :)
My sweet 6-almost-7
year-old niece Emma helped me bake :) We looked super cute in our
aprons! The one she is wearing is one I made in Young Women's, and the
one I'm wearing is just a cute one my mom had and got it monogrammed for
me :) Thanks Mommy!
The yummy chocolate chip blondie brownies we made :)
We
decided to play a little joke on one of our favorite elders, Elder
Heeb. I was experimenting with these cute bags and cut one off too
short. How could we waste it? ;) Hey, there's nothing wrong with being
short... ;)
Two cute BFFs and our adorable treats :) WSC!!
I got a babysitting job for the summer with the Benitez family. I love
these kids sooo much and we've had a blast together. We've had indoor
campouts, tea parties, scrapbooking, doing hair, outside games, and
after I come back from Utah: a "carnival" ;)
Speaking of Utah...
AHHHHHH! I am so EXCITED! :) When I last went in November, two weeks
before I left I would randomly scream or laugh and say, "I'M GOING TO
UTAH!" while i was in the car with my parents. I made them jump several
times haha ;) We'll get Jambas (cause there ain't no Jamba in Tenn-uh-say! ;) ), go to Moab, spend a day or two at 7 Peaks, hike the Y, 20 mile bike rides with my brother Russell, go on long walks with my best guy friend Race, run my first half-marathon, make Independence Day skirts with Race's little sister, watch fireworksand sooo much more! :) I will leave my house at 3:30
AM Saturday morning, get to the airport at 4:45, and the plane leaves
at 6:45 out of Nashville for Las Vegas, and from there to SLC!!! Woohoo!
:) I will be blogging and posting pictures like a mad woman, so be prepared! ;)
Tonight at church we are doing an activity on Women in the Scriptures. I volunteered to be Ruth, and I've learned so much from researching her and reading in the scriptures. She was such a faithful, devoted woman to not only her mother-in-law, but to her Heavenly Father. I'll be dressed as her (well, kind of) and I've made super cute handouts and will be baking wheat bread to slice up and put in a basket. Pictures will be posted :) Have a wonderful week! :)
