Perfect Parenting Promise...

Love, love, love this quote. It is the perfect way to describe how to allow people to "own for themselves" their beliefs and testimony of truth. I found this picture to put behind the quote. It is somewhere that I would like to walk. Maybe I already have? Looks peaceful and promising...heavenly.

Never-ending camp pictures...

How I adore my s'more loving stake young women cohorts. Love them with all my heart!!
Suzanne, Lori and Laurel...they are beyond fabulously divine. How did I get so blessed to work with such incredible ladies?
Well...perhaps we aren't overly talented at setting up tents...
But, we do wear fabulous socks! That has to count for something!


The best sight in the entire world...girls in camp t-shirts at an amphitheater having fun (this was pre-hail storm:)
The face of a woman who has functioned on 4 hours of sleep for 5 nights...this would be the end of day 4...not a pretty sight!
By the end of the camp, this entire wall was filled with thoughts of love, peace and friendship.
Tiffany, Niederhauser and Aimee..the most amazing camp directors on the planet!
Sweet Megan!
Really, not too much head room in the cabins. Best not sit up in the middle of the night when your alarm accidentally goes off...Laurel!!!!!!
Outside the lodge: tye-died value colors.
The most amazing speaker ever...Brother Brad Caldwell. What a spirit he brings everywhere he goes!
YCL's...how I LOVE my YCL's...
Sitting with my peeps on day one.

Mon fils avant sa mission à Paris...Au revoir

Au revoir mon fils...
Last picture before heading into the MTC. Kait decided to stay home with Grandpa and Grandma and say goodbye there. She had to hold on to Daphne who was trying to get into the car with Tony! It was a tearful 13 year old and an equally tearful little 10 year old puppy!
Tony and Niki outside the MTC
Tate, Max and Lola the morning Tony was "MTC bound!" Lola is waving bye-bye.
Goodbye hugs from Ethan, Kate, and Isaac. Adam was too comfy in his stroller!


One last Lola moment!

Stake Girls Camp 2010 "All You Need is Love"



June 8 - 11th was spent at Camp Zarahemla with 350 other people. Enjoyed amazing YCLs, incredible food, wonderful speakers, too much laughter in our cabin, waking up at 4:50 a.m., every morning, running in the hail, beautiful singing, silly camp songs, chirping birds, discovering that many leaders are not "morning people" (even though Lori and I tried to convert them!), receiving yw stones and commitments of "being ready to forgive and forget" thanks to Brother Caldwell, remembering Meg's words "if life gets tough, keep rolling" and grateful to be in the mountains with such amazing people.
