Back 2 Skool

I started school again, last night was my first class and lab and I LOVED IT! We get to do work on actual cadavers. Next lab we are doing real human hearts! I never realized just how much I love science (not chemistry!) I am really excited for this semester! Its been a long time since I've been in school so wish me luck!

A good clean ugly book

For a couple months now I have had 2 young women recommend a book to me called Uglies by author Scott Westerfeld. So finally after having it placed on hold at the library, I got it and read it in 3 days. It was a really good book and I would recommend it to any preteen, teen, and beyond reader, both boys and girls. It was clean and actually a quite interesting story. There are 3 other sequels to the series, the next one is called pretties, then specials, and lastly extras ( you'll understand the meanings after reading the first one) and I already have placed a hold on them at my library. So if you want something easy and good to read, you have my recommendation!

Curly Sue!

Is this Chloe or Shirley Temple! We tried rag curls for the first time and Chloe just loved the results! We also had fun playing with Kolby and Lexie that day too!

Sweet Addie

Dear Addie,

I am writing this now to tell you the things that I wish I could have told you while you were still here. You were an amazing young woman, I never saw you without a smile on your face. Your smile would light up every room you walked into. You had so much integrity, Once while babysitting my kids I came home to find you sitting on the couch without the TV on. When I said, " You could have been watching a show instead of sitting there bored," You responded, " actually I am grounded from watching TV and wouldn't feel good about watching it." I will miss your hugs, every time I saw you, no matter where, you would give me a hug. You were so warm and welcoming to me when I was first put into young women's, I felt right at home when you were around. My children absolutely love you too. Chloe would always ask for you to come babysit for them because she said you were so fun and she loved you. Last Saturday when you babysat for them was the first time that Bella said your name when she saw you. I learned so much from you in the short year that I knew you. You loved your family and treated them with respect. You loved the gospel and life and lived it with a happy attitude. I am so thankful that I was able to have you in my life, even if that time was cut too short. Thank you for being an excellent example to me of a believer! You are already greatly missed!

All my love,
Buffy

DIRTY!!!

Just look at our dirty little faces!

WOW!!!

We went riding last weekend with Mike, Brenda, and Alec and boy did we get DIRTY!!! We had a great time though and saw some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in this state! The weather was gorgeous, and the smell of the pines was too. I don't think that I have ever been that covered in dirt though!

Going to the Lake is always fun for the whole family! Some of my favorite summer memories involve ski trips at the lake or the bay! And my dad is still the best waterskiier I have ever seen! Mom you're pretty awesome too! We were able to go 2 times last week which was so fun! Thanks Ben and Sarah and Aaron! We had a blast!

So far this summer...

We have enjoyed our libraries summer reading program.

Built a roaring fire on our camping trip

Enjoyed some fine dining.

Managed to get as dirty as humanly possible in the first 10 minutes of our camping trip.

Scare our friends with our most perfect demon faces.

I love summer!
