Finally an update

Well, another five months have passed without any blogging. Surprise, surprise, right? Honestly, I haven't had the time (nor the desire) to update this thing. And I'm not sure what has gotten into me right now, but I think I'll make my best attempt to update our happenings this summer with few words and many pictures (my style of blogging). So for the 5 or 6 followers of this blog, enjoy a June 2009 recap.

Tay's Wizard of Oz dance recital at Kingsbury Hall

She wouldn't even stop dancing for the picture....

Look at those blue eyes... Girls Camp

This was supposed to be my look of death to describe how much I love camping(I can't believe I am even posting this picture! No make-up or anything!).Other than the $7000 of damage done to my car (don't ask...it's still a sore spot for me), girls camp was a success. Great times and spiritual experiences were had by all. However, I can't mention positive things about the food, camp ground, weather, leaky tent, popped air mattress and cow pies everywhere. Where's the Fairmont Kea Lani when you need it?

Youth Conference

(the few pictures I could get of my yw...they were all camera shy!)

Tuacahn, St. George, and Las Vegas

It was a busy, but great month! Check back in another 5-6 months and I'll have the month of July posted. Kidding.

Just have to brag a little more....

Gorgeous baby Alexa... it doesn't get cuter than this! And look how sweet she is sucking her thumb! (I know, I'm a dental hygienist and should be concerned, but it's just too cute.)

My dancin' skinny-minny

A few pics from class today...(FINALLY she is feeling better)

This is her costume for the Wizard of Oz dance recital in June. She is going to be a munchkin. (She loved it so much I couldn't get it off of her...she was twirling and dancing just to watch her skirt flare! What a doll.)

Jonny

Okay, since I was just bragging about my new niece Alexa, I realized I can't leave out my favorite nephew, Jonathan, aka Jonny. He is the sweetest, most handsome and loving little boy around. We miss you Jonny and hope to see you soon! Taylor especially misses you...

Gorgeous baby Alexa

Since I haven't seen her in a few days (because Taylor is sick), I thought I'd just post a few pictures of the beautiful Alexa. And brag a little too. I have THE most gorgeous little niece on the planet. Look at all that hair! Good work Chris and Rommel. Proud of you!

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. We started out at my dad' s neighborhood Easter egg hunt/breakfast(Excellent pancakes dad!). Taylor even got to meet the Easter Bunny, and wow did she love that. You should have seen the look on her face when he (or she?) came walking around the corner! It was great. As you can see in the pictures below, she definitely scored quite a bit of candy, which I happily donated to the staff break room at my office. Sorry guys. We also wandered over to Wheeler Farm that afternoon with my mom so Tay could go on a pony ride and see the animals. The day ended with a light dinner and another Easter egg hunt at Justyn's parents' home. Tay was worn out but really enjoyed herself. After attending church on Sunday, and Taylor learning more about why we celebrate Easter, her evening prayer included "praying for the mean men, that they won't get to Jesus and put nails in his hands and feet". Justyn and I could barely hold back our laughs! It was such a sweet and innocent prayer, and despite my efforts to explain that Jesus' crucifixion has already happened, she still includes Jesus and the mean men in her daily prayers.
