Girls Night in Sedona


Heidi Campbell, myself, Abby Hollows, Theresa Ashcroft and Bethany Skelton

Our friend Jen Martin's family has a cabin in Sedona so Jen had a girl's night, we all brought yummy food and treats, we played games and just hung out. I love having so many girlfriends. I have always been blessed to find good friends everywhere we have moved but I have never quite had anything quite like this. We play Bunco, we have a craft club and we go to dinner or lunch here and there for birthdays or just because. I have truly enjoyed this group of friends(and several not pictured). I think I am old enough to be the mother of some of them but I never feel old around them. Thanks Jen! and Thanks Girls! It was a really fun night out!

Mormon Prom 2011


Kylie with her Date Caiden Johnson, she asked him to go with her, he turned 16 five days after the prom. It was quite scandelous in some people's eyes which made it that much more fun. They had a great time, I was so happy Kylie decided to go, she had just broken up with her first boyfriend and we all know how that is.


since niether one of them could drive her friend Melissa and boyfriend Alex drove them. Which was really nice of them, nothing like having your parent's drop you off at Prom!



The flowers....



Kylie's hair, the finished product. Beautiful, you are amazing Natalie!



Kylie's friend Natalie did her hair and makeup. She is definitely talented!

Smokey the Bear made an appearance.


There were all sorts of cool science experiments you could do. This one you blew up a balloon and then took a shishkabob with vaseline on the end and stuck it straight through. that was my favorite!



Nolan in front of his science fair project, they were assigned one this year and he was just happy when it was over.

The Great Urban Race Phoenix~March 12, 2011


Heidi and Tiana busy working on their clues, each of our teams took 4.

The Great Urban Race is a mini race like the Amazing race. They pass out envelopes that are sealed with all of your clues, everyone opens them all at once and begins to decipher them. You are allowed to have people waiting on computers to help you and you can use your cell phones. No cars or cabs are allowed but you can take the bus.


lovely, I am always so photogenic=)




Tiana with her dad on the other end...

Dean and I~this was a really fun race, we would all love to do another one.
We did so many more things than I even got pictures of. We made puppets using three diff mediums. We smelled tea and had to guess what kind they were. we had to use scrabble squares and put together words. We had to buy supplies and take them to a Ronald McDonald house and I am sure I am forgetting afew things.
