Paige & Morgan first day of school

The night before the big day I told her to get ready for bed and she got really nervous, knowing that the morning was coming really soon for her and she would have to face her fears of going to Junior High. The good thing was, 7th grade started a day before the 8th and 9th graders, so all the 7th graders could get to know there way around the school and such before all the others started. She got to have Wed off while the 8th and 9th graders started and then on Thursday they all go together. By the end of her first day she did say, "It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." I think she will do just fine.

I can't believe Morgan is in 5th grade this year...wow how time goes by so fast. Morgan was really excited to go to school, I personally think it's because of the new clothes. She has her best friend Erica in her class with her again this year so I think that really helped with her going back. I've never seen Morgan up and ready to go to school so early like I did this morning. We shall see how long that lasts.

IS IT WINTER?

Preslie and Mason went out this morning at about 9:30 to jump on the trampoline and play on the swings, she came in and said she was cold..umm hello its 78 out there. Anyways, she decided she needed her ski jacket on and her snow boots...strange kid I have, but I love her to death. Of course Mason had to follow her and grabbed a coat, thank goodness it wasn't a ski coat and the boots stayed off.

I SURVIVED GIRLS CAMP!!!

From July 29th -Aug 1st, I got to go with the girls in my ward to Girls Camp up Payson canyon to Camp KoHoLoWo. We had a blast!! I have the best girls in the world in my ward and it was so much fun to be with them. The theme was "Come hold your torches high" and each ward was given a country to represent. We were Germany. We had to learn the theme and I'm a Child of God in German. It was HARD.
One of the greatest moments was...I got to spend it with my daughter Paige. It was her first year at camp and she had a ball. I thought she would want to hang out with her dear ole mother but she actually went on her own and hung out with her friends. I enjoyed being with her those 4 days, I can't believe how big she is..just seems like yesturday I brought her home from the hospital.I was so happy to have my BF Wendi there with me. She is awesome and I love to hang out with her. We are like two peas in a pod. Scary huh? We are both just so excited to be alive, the bears didn't find us in our little tent. (there had been bear sightings before at this camp) The girls were all safe and sound in the cabin but the fire marshall wouldn't let more then 14 in a cabin so some of us roughed it and slept in tents. I'm thankful for all my leaders that came with me..THEY ROCK!! Thanks..Addie, Katie, Ronda, RaeAnn, Linda, and Wendi!!
