Girls Camp 2008

Macy helping me pack at 11:30pm. The girls were so good they only pack one bag each. I on the other hand packed 3 suitcases and a air mattress.

Don't you all remember this.? Sitting around the camp fire singing song for hours. The girls by the last day were so done with this.

They look so happy!!!!

Lex was all ways ready for a good photo opportunity. I wonder if she remembers any thing that was taught in that class.

It was so odd to be there an adult leader then a YM. I was the leader that got to sleep in the 4th years cabin all week. I got a little less sleep then normal but that is what happens when you sleep with a bunch of 15-16 year old girls. The nice thing is that I knew what is was like to be one of them. I was of the mind set of stay up all night if you want to but don't keep the other girls awake and don't worry about me I have 3 kids under the age of 5 I can sleep thur anything. The girls from our stake are so great. They have such sweet spirits. I also loved having my sister Dee there with me for her last year of camp. It was nice to get closer to her in a different way then at home. It is good to be home and not here J/K EVERYONE! I am trying to stop my self from using the word awesome all the time. These girls have a way of rubbing of on you. Mostly in a good way!

My 3 favorite things!

I love that they all have the same smile in these photos.
Sorry that the music does not fit these photos at all but the girls like this new Miley song.


Hanna

Addsion

Macy

One of my favorite things...

I love it when we are all in the van and Macy and Hanna start to sing. Anyone that has had more then one kid sing in the back seat knows what this sounds like. Well, then (this is my favorite part) Addison starts to sing along with them. This just melts my heart her little 1 1/2 self singing La-la-la-hm-hmm. She wants to be just like her big sisters.

I am done!!!! for now....

I am done and I loved them. I can't wait till the next book comes out in August. The movie is coming out on the 12th of December so then maybe Jade will understand why I like them. Some thing you need to understand about Jade is that he is not a reader. So, he thinks that it is crazy to read a 600 plus book in two days let alone read all three in a week and a half. All I can say to him is to each his own. You don't see me watching The Ultimate Fighter all the time.

Now I can get on with being a better mother then I have been in the last two weeks.

Twilight

Here is the reason I have fallen off the face off the earth. Jenny (Jade's cousin) recommended the Twilight series to me. I was willing to try them out because if Jenny said that she likes them more the Harry Potter then they must be good. Well, she was right. I love them. I started the first one at camp and only got past about 100 pages. Once I got home I read the rest in two days. Then I went and bought the next one New Moon and had to promise Jade that I would only read a chapter that night. After about 3 hours and the fact that I was on page 350 he realized that I was not going to keep that promise. Two days later I am done and can't wait to go get the next one. I did tell Jade that I would wait a few days before I got it so that the kids and him did not feel so neglected. I just want to say thanks Jenny. A really good read.

The land of crawly things

Off to the land of bugs and creepy crawly things. It is the day that some of our girls leave for camp. When we were working on some of the paper work we saw that we would be at camp on friday the 13th. Not a good day to be near a camp. Jade said that we should be fine as long as the camp is not on Crystal Lake..... That makes me feel so much better!!!!!!! Well, it should be lots of fun, I will post a bunch of pictures when we return. Wish me luck!

Can we go to the zoo?

This morning I wake up and the first thing out of Hanna's mouth is "Can we go to the zoo today?" I love that in her world the Zoo is everything. She has no clue that today I have to make cheesy potatoes for a funeral before 10, go to the bank, watch Abby, run to my other bank, run to a doctors appointment, finish up a few things for camp, plant the vegetable garden, clean my house before I leave for camp, go to post office to mail apron and still do the everyday mommy things that have to be done! As far as Hanna is concerned I must have time to run to the zoo also. But you tell me how do you say no to this face? Maybe we can go tomorrow.

Camp Rock Party

They girls are so excited for this! Call me for info.

I don't want to put any up on this.

They love to craft

If I let them paint all day they would. Last night I ran to Michael's to pick up some stuff for camp. Macy and Hanna were with me and picked out some cute serving trays for their kitchen. They are so excited to paint them today. Anyone that knows me knows that letting them have free run over paint stresses me out big time. They are so happy when they craft with me. My stress almost seems worth it. I just have to remember that they are 5 and 3 and want to be just like their mom. That makes the mess seem a lot better.

I don't know how she can see with her hair like that. She gets mad when I move it out of her face.
