Calling

So I got sustained today so I figured I would post what my new calling is... Jillian was right! I am Ward Camp Director. Our camp is in 6 weeks. A lot of it has already been done but it's a little crazy right now. I'm pretty nervous because I've probably only gone real camping 3 or 4 times my whole life. My girl's camp was a breeze. We stayed in cabins with bunkbeds and mattresses and we had bathrooms with running water. Luckily, there are very few girls going so it shouldn't be too bad. :) I am really excited, nervous, and pretty much every other emotion is running through my body! I know this is where I'm supposed to be and it has already blessed my life in so many ways!

Baby News!

We found out John's wife Holly is having... drumroll please... a BOY! Hurray! Now Robby and I will have 7 nephews! Alyssa had Connor and baby Jake is coming in August, Holly has Noah, Ethan, and Baby Boy #3, and Kristi is having Baby Boy A & Baby Boy B. Here's hoping that I can be the first one to break the boy spell! Wishes, prayers, and hoping will be much appreciated!

Scrapbooking

I got excited to scrapbook again but it wasn't for me. I'm getting ready for my sister. She said to me that she wasn't too fond of scrapbooking so I'm going to put a book together for her. :) I've done a couple of pages so far.

This will be a cute one of them together with their names in the red and a picture in the blue

My sister has been calling the babies "Baby A" and "Baby B" so I wanted to play off that a little. In the empty blue part at the bottom will go the baby's name.

Same with the green one. :)

Baby scrapbooking is so much fun! Maybe all of this will rub off on me! :) Good luck to Holly tomorrow when she finds out what her baby is!

New Calling!!!!

So I'm not going to post what it is but I'm just wondering who can guess! I'm still teaching Sunbeams which I'm so grateful for! I love those kids and I know I couldn't part from them! :) Go ahead and guess and then on Sunday when I'm sustained I will let everyone know! :)

NEWS!!!

We found out today that Kristi is having...... a boy! Oh and I forgot to mention.... another boy! Yep, my sister is having twin boys in September. She's a little nervous but I know she'll be a great mom. So, now I'm thinking I should adopt twin puppies but they would have to be girls! :) So now I will have 2 nephews on Robby's side, and 4 on my side. We're still waiting to find out what my brother John's wife is expecting. I love spoiling little babies! :)

Puppies

With Mother's day looming upon us, I've decided to adopt a puppy! I'm still coaxing Robby into the idea (it's been months and he's starting to budge). If anyone knows any good breeds, or knows someone who is selling dogs (preferably not too expensive but I do want a young puppy) let me know! I love you all!

CONGRATS TO THE GRAD!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to my brother in law who graduated from BYU in History. He's a riot to be around and he's great for my sis. I'm so excited they are moving back to AZ especially with their little baby "Peanut" who is due in September and is going to steal my birthday month but at least I can play with him/her. :)

Jimmy's Farewell

Can you believe my baby brother is old enough to go on a mission??? How crazy is that?

Trying to zip his suitcase up. :)

All ready to go!

I have the silliest brothers

Papa & Bubba!

I'm not his "Big" sis but I'm still older!

If you thought your family was weird...

The weirdness continues...

I swear I'm adopted!

Jimmy & Mom. She cries later.

The missionary and the parents!

Tastey!

They are normal.

Putting the badge on

Jimmy so excited to get on his mission!

Jimmy ready to go, and my mom not ready to see him leave.

Girls' Day!

It was snowing. I hate Utah!

Baby Heber

Isn't he a doll???

Me & Kristin

Me & Kristin

On our way into the mall. The little white stuff is snow! Blah!

Kristin getting excited to go shopping :)

Kristin and Tessa (on her good side)

Me & Alisha saying bye. :(

I'm in Utah and had a BLAST hangin' with my two besties from high school, Alisha and Kristin. We were quite a trio. We went to lunch and then went shopping (although I think Alisha was the only one who bought anything) then we went to see our other friend Tessa (and meet her boyfriend) then we went and hung out at Kristin's adorable apartment. We had so much fun stealing Alisha's baby and carrying him around. He is probably the cutest baby ever! I actually had people stop me to look at him. The pictures don't do him justice. :)
I missed being with my girls and I'm so happy Kristin is moving to AZ to be with me again! I can't wait until Alisha's hubby is finished with school so that we can convince them to move to AZ too! It really is the best!!!! :)

Rough Day? Don't ask!

That's one of my favorite movie quotes (Little Rascals) and it totally describes my day today. We had our dentist appointments today which I normally LOVE! No sarcasm there, seriously! I love the dentist. I have great teeth and the dentist always says so. We had a new dentist and they informed us that we would be getting just our xrays for the first visit and then we would get a cleaning at another visit. I always get so excited for cleanings because I love the feeling of teeth after they've been scraped off. It's wonderful! But instead we got the evil xrays with the little pokey things that rip up your mouth. After that was done, our Dentist discussed what was wrong with our teeth. I again had perfect teeth. :) Robby on the other hand, has terrible teeth! He needs fixing on several different teeth including one that could be a root canal for a grand total of around $5000! Yikes! We don't have that much money lying around! To tip the scale, on our way home, we got a flat tire on the freeway!
I'm trying to look on the positive side of all this, so here goes... I'm starting to understand Heavenly Father has a better plan for me. We would not have $5000 even to go into debt if we had a baby or were pregnant. I would not have my great jobs and would not be earning any money. I'm glad I had Robby in the car to change the tire because I would never be able to do it by myself. All in all, I'm glad I'm still alive, I'm happy, and I have a wonderful husband. Things will work out for the best. :)
