Joshua 1:9

"...Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

Youth Conference 2010 was an InCrEdIbLe experience for Calli and I. I'm so glad we had the chance to go! So here's the agenda...

Thursday consisted of..

-Getting to Big Bear in the coolest car I've ever seen in my entire life (it's a LaDyBuG!),

-Reuniting with friends I haven't seen for two weeks when school got out,

-Snagging some free postcards,

-Visiting the lake,

-Sitting and listening,

-LOTS AND LOTS of dancing,

-a few games,

-and a couple hours of sleeping!

Over Friday, we...

-attended three workshops mostly about...,

-ran our version of The Amazing Race,

There were 14 "pit stops" total. Some of them were building an LA temple replica, canoeing across the lake, eating a cricket (yes, you read that right and in my opinion they tasted pretty good), eating a Twinkie with no hands (which made me want to puke), memorizing and performing a hymn as a group, and knowing all 25 scripture masteries!

THIS, I am proud to say, is NOT our replica. I took this off Facebook. Ours had a pretty legit Moroni on top, which I am proud to take credit for!:)

-and performed our well-prepared lip sync (I'll Make a Man Out of You),

The last day, Saturday, was filled with...

-more workshops from Brother Rast and President Carlson,

-a beautiful song from Riley,

-a ride home in the, once again, coolest car I've ever seen in my entire life (with some sleeping),

-dinner, courtesy of the In-N-Out Truck,

-a testimony meeting, and a whole lot more dancing!

Youth Conference this year has been one to remember! I am so glad I had the chance to go camping to feel the Spirit and gain a greater testimony of the Gospel. And, how lucky am I to have one of the BeSt Young Women's Presidents ever!?!? I am so happy that my last year in yw will be spent with someone I look up to so much! Kerrie is a great example and ALL of the young women love her!

A Little late...

2009-12-18T13:14:00.000-08:00

I know this is a little late, but these are just too important to pass up!

*November 22: Happy Birthday, Mom!

*November 23-25: Disneyland!

No matter what it took, Scott was GOING to get on Star Tours! We eve stuffed cell phones in his shoes. Unfortunately, he was WaY too uncomfortable and wanted them OUT! However, to test our luck, we measured him. It did not surprise us that he wasn't tall enough, but he did surprise us with his witty expertise. As he walked up to the height requirement bar, he put his hands over his head, grabbed onto the bar, pulled himself upso that he was hanging from the bar and that his head what touching it, and informed us that he was tall enough. I agree, I thought the rule was that your head just had to touch the bar; the requirement. What mean Disneyland workers!:)

So, this trip, we discovered the art of pin trading. Anytime we saw a worker with a lanyard and pins, Abby and Zoe were quick to trade! Of course, the greenish-bluish lanyards are the best since they have all the kid pins!

*November 26: Happy Thanksgiving!

*November 27: R.I.P. Charlie the Hampster:(

Roaring 20's!

2009-11-16T14:09:00.000-08:00

Murder Mystery!

...in the spirit of the 20's, I dressed up too:)

Calli's Last Race!

2009-11-08T14:59:00.001-08:00

Calli ran her last race on Thursday! AND looked good doing it!

If anyone's intrested in doing this with me...

2009-09-18T20:46:00.000-07:00

I decided I really wanted to memorize this song. THE WHOLE SONG! Its hard, but since 5th grade I've loved this song but I never knew what it was talking about since I hadn't learned everything in it. Now that I have, I LOVE IT! Good luck!

And Finally...Eagle Lake 2009!

2009-08-23T16:45:00.000-07:00

Everyone's favorite part of the summer...Shippendom at Eagle Lake! In a nutshell, Deal or No Deal (Clark Night!), boating, campfires, boating, s'mores, boating, talent shows, AND boating!

The Banker:)

Deal or No Deal "Ladies"

I love camp!

I feel bad. We were absolutely HORRIBLE at taking pictures this year at camp. So, pretty much this is what we have. I promise we'll be better!:)

Share A Little Brightness...

2009-08-10T11:36:00.000-07:00

WOW! I am really bad at this! But I promise I'm going to try and keep this up now that I'm finally getting back into a schedule. So lately...Every year, our Grandma and Grandpa in Utah host an annual COUSINS CAMP! Every cousin 8 and older gets to come! Dave took this AWESOME picture for us!

This year started out as Calli, Abby, Zoe and I flew into Vegas on Monday and were suprised when Grandma brought the Neymans to come pick us up! Us girls spent the day at the M&M factory and eating lunch at SERENDIPITY (for Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate and my "2-foot" hot dog)!!!! We were also verrrrry lucky to pass a kiosk where Grandma bought us all (granddaughters) our Christmas presents! This kiosk had the some of the prettiest dresses I think I've ever seen! They're reversable and can be worn 100 different ways as a dress, shirt, skirt, or swimsuit coverup. Not one is made alike, so everyone got their very own dress! Thanks Grandma!

Tuesday was a day of swimming and singing (and dancing!). We all went to swim at Entrada (also known as Lava Springs from High School Musical 2) which made Zoe most excited! Her life is now complete:) Later that day we all took off for Tuachan, an outside theatre, to see the play Footloose. I have to say it was AMAZING and I think the best I've seen yet! What made all the more better was the fact that Thayne Jasperson was Ren McCormick! For those of you completely out of the loop, Thayne was on So You Think You Can Dance and in my opinion, should've won! He was so good! Christina, Jessica, and I left the play a few minutes early just so we'd be first in line to meet him when the actors came out. It was worth it...we WERE! He was so nice and VERY glad to hear that I voted for him a million times...and he was HOTT! That was MY highlight of cousins camp!

THIS is Thayne Jasperson.

I think Abby like it too:)

Wednesday, we woke up and headed out to Brushfire (which is kind of like a Paint A Dream for us) for everyone to paint a memory of Cousins Camp. I, of course, chose Footloose, Calli painted a plate, Zoe painted a car for Scott (sssh!) and Abby...wait...I'll have to ask her. They all finished before I had a chance to take a picture of their creations. After Brushfire, we went to Judd's to get old-fashioned candy. I ALWAYSALWAYSALWAYS get Razzles! They're my favorite! We finished off the day with horseback riding and hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner.

On our last day, Thursday, we had a talent show and everyone had something GREAT! Calli sang a song she learned while playing on the piano (You're Not Sorry-Taylor Swift) and it was so pretty! She shocked everyone at how good she was! She's SO ready for Show Choir! Abby, Zoe, some cousins and I did a skit we do every year that always get some laughs! Make sure and pause the music at the bottom to hear the video!

Overall, Cousins Camp was an extremely fun week and we all enjoyed being together! I hope everyone's summer has been one to remember and nobody has too rough of a start to the new school year! Good Luck!

MORMON PROMM<3

2009-05-02T17:27:00.000-07:00

Here's Mormon Prom Pix.....

It's time to RELAY 2009!

2009-04-24T16:39:00.000-07:00

Hey there....

The following is an invitation from a friend of mine who is heavily involved in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in SCV. I'm helping her with her "campsite" this year. She's anxious to get her "Team" running by having a Team Meeting this Monday evening. If you're interested in joining us, our family would LOVE to have you there! This meeting can be informational for those of you unfamiliar with the Relay (no, this is NOT a race!), or an opportunity for you to register as a member of her team. Our family loves participating in the Relay for Life as it is such a worthy cause, a great support for wonderful friends and a great, fun way to spend a day as a family doing something that truly makes a difference! Our kids, ALL 6 OF THEM, look forward the Relay every year. The day of the Relay is Saturday, May 30 at Central Park and you can participate as much or as little as your schedule allows. This family friendly meeting you're invited to is THIS Monday evening. You'll be surprised at how many familiar faces you'll see! Hopefully I've sparked your interest and we'll see you Monday evening! Feel free to call me if you have any questions! Also, please forward this on to anyone you think may be interested in joining us. The more friends the merrier! Kim Morris

P.S. Part of helping out with the Crookston's "campsite" is to collect items, either goods or services, to raffle off during the Relay. If you or anyone you know have any merchandise or services that you feel would be of interest to any of the 1000's of people who attend the Relay, please let me know ASAP. I would love to have a fun table full of appealing raffle items so that the Crookston family can make a generous donation to the American Cancer Society that day in honor of their son, Nathan. Thanks again!

Dear friends,

Our family won our battle against cancer, but we need to win the war and defeat all cancer. Thanks to everyone who has already helped and for those who are still able and willing to help in the fight against cancer. If you already told me that you couldn't help this year, please forgive me for sending this on. I really don't want to bug anyone, and you may hit delete now. For everyone else, please come enjoy a fun outing in the park and learn how you can help fight the cancer monster. Even if you can't help the day of the Relay for Life, but you would like to help some way, we need help prior to the event.

Also we have some fun news. Kirby Heyborne will be preforming on the Relay for Life stage. The entertainment chair heard Kirby's music and she is a new fan. You can come and see why if you come to Relay. Anyway, thanks again for any help. I really appreciate it.

2009-03-11T20:23:00.000-07:00

So, I finally finished my Hart Soccer season. We just had our banquet last night where they gave out the awards and so graciously gave us all the emarassing pictures they took of us during the season AFTER they showed the EVERYBODY involved with soccer in a slideshow. How nice of them! Here's a few I'll post.

Why is it so hard for us to blog!?

2009-03-11T06:54:00.000-07:00

I love reading everyone's blogs! It's so fun to see pix of your family and keep up with your lives. Why then, is it so dang hard to keep up on our blog? I have great intentions! I should be able to find some time! I think I'm afraid of my computer! I hate taking the time to learn new things on it and to tell you the truth, I don't even know how to download pix from my camera on my new computer! I wish this was second nature for me like it is for so many of you. Why also do we all have so many places to post? Facebook, myfamily.com, blogspots....what comes first?

The only reason I have this image is because Megan tagged Kacy with it on facebook! Our Road Show was awesome! Thanks Brother Heyborne & Brother Hopkin! Can someone tag Calli in a pix please so I can post her too!

Proposition 8 in Santa Clarita

2008-10-26T13:38:00.000-07:00

For those of you not in Cali right now...Someone in out stake lately has been going out our local street corners and interviewing people on both sides of Prop 8. This video is mostly "yes" but there are still "no" and more "yes" videos to come from him. My mom is interviewed in this video and most of the people that are are from our stake or wards. Yesterday, a bunch of friends and I went wave signs for "Yes on 8" on one of our corners. Though most of the responses we got were thumbs ups and honks, we did get a few things that I will never say, like Charlotte said in her email. People came up to us to argue and make rude comments and I was very suprised with the way we all took it (myself definitely included), smile and wave. Overall, yesterday was a great experience, despite all the negative things said or directed towards us. I felt like I was doing what's right and it made me happy that I was able to help make a difference...Zoe and Abby have even been waving! Oh yeah! Abby is in this video to, next to my mom and at the end in pictures. All of my friends and I were interviewded in a video that should be up in the next couple of days so I'll let you know when it is. Here's some of what's been going on around here...

Thanks!...<3kacy>

Here's our GREAT TURNOUT!

2008-10-21T10:15:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends and Family...

As many of you are aware, California is in the middle of a crisis and it has nothing to do with the price of gas! Our family has been given the unique opportunity to participate in a grass roots effort to help get Proposition 8 passed.

I'm sure you remember Prop 22 some years ago. That proposition allowed our state to vote that marriage was defined as between a man and a woman. Unfortunately, the State Supreme Court ruled the voters descision unconstitutional and overturned the proposition, making same sex marriage legal. It is again up for a vote in this coming November's election labeled Proposition 8.

Rodney and I have both been blessed to know many same sex couples whom we consider friends. Most, just like most heterosexuals, are kind, lawabiding people who just want to be happy. We feel for the anguish they have suffered in their lives , most at the hands of their own families, and wish them only the best. Unfortunately, some, just like some heterosexuals, feel the need to go to extremes and cause great turmoil for the rest of us. Thus, Proposition 8!

It is no secret that we are a religious, conservative couple trying to raise conservative children who will someday be honest, compassionate, hardworking adults that will greatly contribute to society. We hope that they will never unrighteously judge anybody, feel love for ALL of their neighbors and continue to grow in strength and character. We WANT them to be an example of tolerance while standing firm in their beliefs and bearing testimony of what they, and we, KNOW to be true; that marriage between only a man and a woman is ordained of God and ALL children born have the RIGHT to a mother AND a father.

If those reading this have a different moral stand on this issue, that is your free agency and your RIGHT as given to you by our founding fathers as stated in the Constitution of the United States. I would always encourage you to follow your compass as long as you KNOW it to be true. So, trying to persuade some on an intellectual level, the following is some information to consider should Propostion 8 fail. As adults, we could probably handle the consequences however unpleasant, but think of your children and your children's children. I DO NOT want the state allowed to teach my children moral issues, they have already crept in far too much. I want the private sector and business' protected from those who would go to extremes just to prove a point. I WANT my religious freedoms protected as designed centuries ago by inspired and brave men. DO NOT allow few in power positions to determine what your children should be taught, who your business can serve and what your religon can preach...that is NOT religous freedom nor the "American Dream" that so many long to have!

Six Consequences If Proposition 8 Fails:

1. Children in public schools will be taught that both traditional marriage and same-sex marriage are okay.

*The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (§51890)*Therefore, if the definition of marriage is changed, children will be taught that marriage is a relation between any two adults. There will be serious clashes between the secular school system and the right of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.

2. Churches will be sued if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings that are open to the public. Ask whether your pastor, priest, minister, bishop, or rabbi is ready to perform such marriages in your chapels and sanctuaries.

3. Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father. Catholic Charities in Boston has already closed its doors because of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.

4. Religions that sponsor private schools and which provide housing for married students will be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if it runs counter to church doctrine, or lose tax exemptions and benefits.

5. Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages will be sued for hate speech and could be fined by the government. It has already happened in Canada, one of six countries that have legalized gay marriage.

6. It will cost you money. A change in the definition of marriage will bring a cascade of lawsuits. Even if courts eventually find in favor of a defender of traditional marriage (highly improbable given today’s activist judges), think of the money – your money, your church contributions – that will have to be spent on legal fees.And think of all the unintended consequences that we cannot even foresee at this time. Where will it end?

Sharing my thoughts and this blog is certainly ok with me as long as those who read it remember that this is a FAMILY blog, children read it. Please be appropriate in your comments. Should you disagree, that is your right, just do so on your OWN blog! Should you post an opinion rated anything other than G, it will be removed immediatly and you will be blocked from our blog. I appreciate you taking the time to read and understand all opinions. Please be mature enough to handle the rise in emotion that politics, and this issue in particular, cause within you. May we all ponder the issue and VOTE our true conscience! Good luck in November to all....

Soccer Pics!

2008-10-19T16:21:00.000-07:00

All 5 of us got a soccer picture together so I just thought we would share it! The guys taking the picture had fun trying to get us all in it! (They had problems trying to place us so...ahem...Mom finally stepped in and said...How bout this??...-FINALLY!) Anyway, we went down in history as having the most people related in a soccer picture at once!

Zoe's Baptism

Zoe's Baptism

2008-10-05T21:20:00.000-07:00

Zoe had such an amazing day a couple weeks ago! She had the chance to be baptized and everyone who participated and helped out with her baptism did an amazing job! She had a ton of family there from out of town and some friends she invited to come even showed up! It was a really fun day with lots of spiritual experiences I think we'll all remember for a long long time!

Missionary Lesson!

2008-09-07T14:42:00.000-07:00

The missionaries came Saturday night for dinner and a lesson for Zoe about baptism. They did such a good job and were a lot of fun! Now Zoe is excited and definitely ready to get baptized!

Soccer Season is Back!

2008-09-07T14:16:00.001-07:00

Soccer games have started up again so our Saturdays are pretty much planned! Calli had her soccer game Friday night under the lights at Central Park! Way fun! Then Abby, Zoe, and Gabrielle had their games on Saturday. My game was today so I just get to hear how we did. Calli's team name is Ole! They are teal and dark blue and everytime they score a goal someone plays the Ole! song! Abby's team is the Blue Flames. They are light blue and Dad is coaching her team this year. Zoe is light purple and her team name is the Rockstar Band. Gabrielle, Lacey, and Bella are all on the same team and their name is the Pink Sparkles! Mom is even coaching that one and Kris is assisting! So much fun! There's only a couple pictures of Gabrielle's team , but we'll add more throughout the season!

Swimming!

2008-09-06T15:55:00.000-07:00

We haven't had much to update in a while, but just so there's something to look at...Kerrie sent us these pictures she took of Abby and Zoe swimming this summer and they're so cute! When its 105 DEGREES outside, like it is today, THOSE PICTURES LOOK SO GOOD!

Cousins Camp!

2008-08-10T20:50:00.000-07:00

The week after the 24th, I went to EFY in Provo. It was the best experience I've ever had! I learned so much and met so many friends! I went with my friend, Megan, and we roomed together in Helaman Halls for the week! The day we got there, we checked in and then went to Orientation and spent the rest of the day meeting our Company (ours was called "Shall Know") and getting to know our counselors...which by the way were all so good! After we got there, we met up with Megan's friend Whitney from San Diego. Oh! The So You Think You Can Dance Choreographers were there doing a dance camp so I asked them for a picture!

Tuesday was spent going to different classes and there was one teacher that Megan and I went to. He was really good and lots of fun. He had 4 different classes and we got to go to 8...we went to all of his once!!! That night there was a dance outside with LOTS OF PEOPLE! And we got Jamba Juice every day the rest of the week!

Wednesday was another class day but after we had dinner, we went and did a "Cheer-Off" with our companies and then had devotionals and a pizza party...till 11 that night! Here's some pictures from pizza night...

Left to Right:Kenzie, Emily, Megan, Kelsey, Sammy, Counselor:Jess, Maddie, Catie, Rachel, Ashlyn, and Kacy...

The COOLEST counselor...Jessica...

PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES!

Thursday we had a YM/YW Activity, lunch, and then the Variety Show. We had an amazing Musical Program/Fireside and then split up to do testimony meetings, devotionals, journal time, prayer meetings, and then bed time...

Variety Show!

Rubics Cube: Record Time!

Sons of Provo: Love Me But Don't Show Me

Friday, our last day, started out with a morning devotional and then a For the Strength of Youth Activity. After lunch we knitted baby hats for a service project and hurried to get ready for the banquet and the dance right after. The closing ceremonies were so good! There was a slide show of the whole week and then both sessions sang together the EFY Medley! It was so pretty!...There's a video of the medley we sang all week. Afterwards, we escorted back to our residence halls where we had our last devotional and lights out...

All my new best friends!...

Our "Bathroom Buddies!"

All of our counselors!

And...all of our counselors...and one that's not a counselor...at the end of a very long week!

Shall Know Guys...

...and Shall Know Girls!

EFY Medley

Brother Knowlton was our main speaker and he was so funny! He sang his version of "Stop and Stare" called "Stop for Prayer"!...Here's the link...

I loved EFY, it was such a great experience and I'm so excited to go back next year!

Hinckley for the 24th!

2008-08-10T20:03:00.000-07:00

So, for the 24th of July, we went up to Utah, yet again, for the parade and rodeo in Hickley! They kept the parade short and the rodeo was so much fun! Gabrielle even rode a sheep and Abby did the money calf. All the kids ages 9-12 get out there and chase around 6 poor calves that are devorated with money! Gabrielle got a cool t-shirt for riding a sheep too!

The next day, the Austins took us Craw Dadding (spelling?) at a resivoir near their house! That was so much fun! First, you cast a raw chicken leg attached to a string into the resivoir and wait about 5 minutes. When you pull it out you usually have like 6 craw dads on it! They're kind of like shrimp, I think. When you catch as many as you need (we got hundreds! Marc told us that last time they went they caught 800! They didn't keep them all.=D), you literally break them in half and pull out their "poop cord." You keep the tail end, cook that, and eat it. Ya, its that gross. I didn't try it, but the people that did said it tasted like lobster. Catching them is fun though. Its definitely worth trying.

Afterwards, we all went back to Marc and Tami's where we ate dinner(ahem...craw dads) and hung out...

Stadium of Fire!

2008-07-13T16:28:00.000-07:00

So, we left the cabin in Idaho early so that we could make the Fourth of July in Provo and go to the Stadium of Fire! The main reason we were there was for Miley Cyrus, although the Blue Man Group was there too! The pictures are a little hard to tell what's going on so you have to look kinda close. Figuring that David Archuleta would perform there, I wore my David A. shirt. I forgot that he was on tour with American Idol in Arizona though so I didn't get to see him there. At the beginning, there was a group of1300 of the nations best young dancers that did a routine that I recorded a little bit of. They were so synchronized and did something throughout the whole dance that represented each sport in the coming olympics. When I can get the videos to work...I'll post them!=)

All these people are friends and family of soldiers that came and sat on the turf. There was a lot more than this. They're still filing in!

These are the next couple days we spent in Provo...Webkinz is definitely popular!

...and so is the Twilight Series!

...and DSes!

Dead snake in the backyard at Grandma and Grandpa's!!!

Scott loves to ride Grandpa's Vespa!

Our Week in Idaho!!!!!

2008-07-06T21:07:00.001-07:00

Our big vacation this summer was going up to Ashton, Idaho to go to our new cousin's baby blessing! London is so cute and we are so glad we got to be there for her blessing!

When we first go to their house, the only thing we wanted to do was drive and ride in the tractor! That was one of the highlights since its something we NEVER get to do!

The Marsdens have 5 kitties we played with all week that are so cute! Right after the dinner at Annie and Jordan's house, we all headed over to the big family reunion cabin we rented where we spent the rest of the week. Gabrielle, Olivia, and Sophie's birthdays were all the week we were there so we had three fun birthday parties! Olivia and Sophie's combined birthday present was a Wii and Guitar Hero so we played that all week too!

Webkinz!

The Ashton City Drug Store has really really good milkshakes so we went and got some really yummy flavors and then right after, Annie took us all over to Big Judds...home of the famous 1 POUND BURGER! The Clarks all shared one and Stan ate one all by himself!

Allie the Allllli-gator!

Something fun we always do in Ashton is go feed the fish. They are all over the place! When you throw one piece of food, you see them all swarm around it and even fight over it sometimes! After that we went and saw the Upper Mesa Falls waterfall which was so pretty! Its part of the Snake River that we went rafting down one of the days we were there! It was so much fun...until the rain and lightening came!!! And then it got really COLD! But that was still something we could do again! There are some scary parts and its cold at first...but well worth it! We saw a ton of real animal skins that we loved to feel since they are so soft!

Abby found one of her new hobbies and talents when we went fishing! She absolutely loved it and is really good! She can cast a line perfectly! There was one night we had a fun campfire in the cabin's "backyard" (aka..the woods) where we made the smores. There were so many misquitoes, I think we probably went through 30 bottles of bug spray throughout the week! When we were away from the bugs inside the cabin, we liked to just hang out and the little girls and Zoe did a good job at entertaining everyone else. They liked to do dances and play "Guess Who" games.

On Wednesday night, all the adults went and did sealings in the Rexburg temple. I stayed outside the temple to babysit Kannon and London. They both did so good! Calli stayed at the Marsden's house to help babysit all the kids at home along with two other babysitters from Annie's ward. Dad got a taste of farming when Jordan taught all the guys how to move pipe. You literally have to pick up a long pipe and move a certain number of yards forward and then walk down to the next one and get that pipe. It takes about 2 hours and Jordan goes out and does it twice a day. That was hard work! The mountains in the backround are the Grand Tetons. They are so pretty and that picture is exactly what you see looking out their window! It is such a great view!

Another one of our Idaho traditions is going to Squirrel Creek and racing boats that all the cousins make and decorate! We start on one side of the bridge and go to the other side. We do heats by age and then a "Winners Circle" race! There was also fishing opportunity there too, so anywhere we went where there were fish, we fished. We roasted hot dogs over another fire for lunch at the creek and played around the little meadow there while some of us practiced shooting.

I love Bella in the backround of this one!

Letting the boats of a heat go. And the race begins!

That night, it was Grandma and Grandpa's 40th anniversary, so when they walked in the cabin everyone sang them songs and we walked them outside to their "anniversary dinner and dessert" which was Coconut Creme Pie!=)HAPPY 40th ANNIVERSARY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA! Overall, this vacation was some of the most fun we've ever had and we are so glad we go to go visit the Marsdens! Thanks Annie and Jordan!

Off to Kindergarten!

2008-07-06T20:49:00.000-07:00

Gabrielle just graduated from preschool and now she's off to kindergarten with Bella and Lacey! She is so excited to get to go to school with Abby and Zoe now and all the teachers are so happy to have her!

Abby and Zoe's Dance Recital

Bloom Where You're Planted

2008-06-22T18:09:00.000-07:00

We just got back from girls camp yesterday and Calli, my Dad(he's a "Camp Dad"), and I had a ton of fun! There were rock climbing walls and bugees for us to do.

We went canoing and swimming in the lake.

For our skit, Tori and Pearl played Brother Morris(my dad goes to girls camp every year with us so they have a priesthood holder there)and Brother Mavity(They are both now known as Bro Mo and Bro Ma). Notice the creative touch on Tori's eyebrow to play Bro Mo? They tried to dress and act just like them.

Secret Sisters are so much fun!

The Camp Dads did a skit and they sang a song called "I'm a Mormon." When the second time to sing the song came around, they held up posters with the words so everyone could sing along with them. However, they didn't know they had misspelled "mormon" to be "moron." They were up there singing "...so you can be a Mormon too..." while everyone else was singing "...so you can be a MORON too..." They had no idea and we told them afterwards. Hats were made for them that said "CAMP MORONS" on them. HAHA. I'm trying to upload that video but its taking FOREVER! Next year I'll be a youth leader and Calli will be a 3rd year so we're both really excited! Hope everyone's enjoying their summer!

Steadfast & Immovable...Always Abounding in Good Works

2008-06-22T17:23:00.000-07:00

Youth Conference was last weekend and I still haven't posted pictures, so here they are. This year, youth conference was such a good experience! I learned so much and felt so good during whatever we were doing. It started out last Wednesday night with the trek video from last years youth conference(which was great-the video made everyone cry!), and they an In-N-Out truck for dinner on Thursday and that kicked off the rest of the weekend. The speakers (Kory Kunz and Michael McLean)were amazing! I've never been excited to go listen to speakers, but this time they were definitely one of my favorite parts! That's almost all you heard during the testimony meeting, how much everyone loved their talks. the testimony meeting was so spiritual and two non-members even bore their testimonies! One of my really good friends even came! We got to go to the beach, a couple dances(the last one was very pretty), and do a really awesome service project. We helped renovate a pretty old and not very clean school in not the best location. We painted murals all over the school and inside some of the classrooms with hundreds of other volunteers. There are some amazing ones, so I'll post those too. I've never enjoyed a service project so much either! I liked this project specifically I think because I knew I was helping change kids' lives for the better. Helping renovate that school made me feel so much more grateful for the things I take for granted...and my health! I felt like I would get sick just being there. Overall, youth conference was one of the best experiences I've ever had! BTW: Kory Kunz is an amazing singer and songwriter and piano player and he sang and played us some of his songs. They all have a story behind them, which he told us a lot about! He's got a couple of CD's out through Deseret Book, but if anyone's interested in listening to samples of his songs...here's the link.

Relay for Life

2008-06-06T18:09:00.000-07:00

The Relay this year was so much fun! We didn't relay for anyone specific this year, however we walked a lot! We spent the night in a tent and Calli and Abby slept outside...it was COLD! They really wanted to though and actually went throught with it! Abby's girl scout troop came and served dinner to our campsite. How nice! I had enough hair (ahem...10 INCHES!) to donate it...oh man! I did not like it at all when I got it cut! I've gotten it styled since though and I do like it now! The only problem now is that I actually have to make sure I have time to do it! Ugh. Oh well. We had a ton of fun this year at the Relay and we hope EVERYBODY joins Nathan's team next year and walks with us!

Okay. This is the difference between boys and girls. Girls will play the game and the boys will destroy it.

Ha! Good Morning, Sunshines!

What a fun night Kacy had last night! For those of you who haven't heard, Kacy has a teacher with a contact that has allowed her to take 50 of her students to American Idol three times this season and Dancing with the Stars once! They were fortunate enough to get tickets to last nights finale! She came home hungry, tired, without a voice and totally excited! She even came home with free t-shirt exclaiming Archuleta as the winner (someone was too quick to print t's ya think!?)! Regardless, she wore it proudly to school today. She had an incredible time at all four tapings, has been able to take advantage of some of our Southern California highlights and is finishing off her freshman year with a bang!! She's a good kids whose having good things happen for her!

There would be more pictures, but we couldn't have cameras, so I have a picture of the sticker that we had to wear to tell that we were in the MOSH PIT!!! I shook Sayesha's hand and Brooke! (Unfortunately it wasn't David Archuleta=() Oh well, it was one of the best things I've ever done! If you haven't already you've definitely have got to try going to American Idol. There's a video of my favorite thing the idols did that night. If you look close you can see my head sometimes. I'm on the side that Simon is on!!! Enjoy! BTW: Watch Dancing With The Stars on Monday...you just might see me there too!=)MAKE SURE AND PAUSE YOUR MUSIC AT THE BOTTOM!!!

San Jose

2008-04-15T16:28:00.000-07:00

From Wednesday to Sunday for Spring Break, we decided to make a trip up to San Jose and just play tourist since we go there all the time and have never done any of the cool stuff there. We started out on Wednesday just getting there when just after Kacy left to go to the Coopers' ward's mutual. They went to Sky City Bounce House which is just like our Scooter's Jungle except its ALL trampolines. (It was a lot of fun, but Scooter's Jungle is much better!=)) Thursday was so much fun!!! After Emily and Dylan showed up, we left in the morning for Santa Cruz to walk the pier and go to the beach. While we were eating lunch on the pier, all the little girls discovered A WHOLE BUNCH OF SLEEPING SEALS in the water! So we took lots of pictures of the seals. Some were jumping and eating but most were sleeping. Down at the beach, Kris and Andrea met up with us after their drive to San Jose. The kids all had so much fun and Kris and Drew dug a giant tunnels the girls, Scott and Dylan all climbed through! THE WATER WAS COLD!!! Zoe, of course, was the only one brave enough to wear her swimsuit and go swimming in it! What a weirdo! For dinner we went to Round Table and got really good pizza parlor pizza! YUMMY!

Believe it or not, most of us have never been to San Fransisco. I know! So that's what we did all day on Friday! We saw Alcatraz, took a cable car, walked the Golden Gate Bridge, which was very scary for some people, saw the crookedest street, and finally the Clarks, Tom, Henry, Drew, Kacy, Dad, and Calli all went to a Giants game in the new AT&T Stadium. It looks right over the ocean! It was soooo pretty!

Saturday was HOT, HOT, HOT! The first thing we did was go out to breakfast with Aunt Toni and Jamie. We took them out to Stacks-a really yummy pancake house! Toni and all of us went to the park and hung out for a couple of hours until it was time to go to Drew's baseball game. After that we headed over to the Oakland temple to attend Aaron and Lauren Green's sealing. What a pretty temple! While Mom and Dad were in the sealing, Kacy and Calli took everyone else into the Visitor's Center where we saw and listened to the Christus and watched a movie called "The Other Wise man." The temple has beautiful grounds and lots of water fountains and mini rivers running through the front of it. Something very surprising: There were at least two Keensineta (however you spell that) parties that were having their pictures taken in front and around the sites of the temple. Abby thought that two of the girls there looked like Cinderella and Belle so she got her picture taken with them.=) The kids had fun playing there when we were not in the Visitor's Center. Later that night, Kristy had a family dinner. It was really, really good!

Sunday we went to church in the Hillsdale ward with the Coopers where we met lots of familiar faces! Their stake has just combined some wards so it was a lot bigger than we remember it! Afterwards we went back to the Coopers where Kristy fed us some lunch and then we hit the road...

MORE, MORE, AND MORE DISNEYLAND AND CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE!!!!!

So, if any of us had a camera with us during the day, we would be able to show you the...HAIL and LOTS OF RAIN we're having here. Today, it rained ALL DAY LONG and has been all week and isn't supposed to stop until next week. I like it. We had about pea-sized hail today, for those of you that didn't see it. There are also lakes of rain all over the place (especially on Kerrie's porch).
