HOUSE goal for this year




We have decided that each year we will put a little bit into the house (update and so on). This year we decided on shutters and railing.

THEN OFF TO GIRL' S CAMP 6/22-6/25.


We had lots of fun at the Stake Girl's Camp - But I was pretty sure I had a bladder infection. Woke up Friday in pain and hoped it would just go away. By the 29th, I couldn't stand it any longer. Steven took me to the doctor and I have a Kidney infection. I ache everywhere, have an awful taste in my mouth, run a fever until I think I will freeze to death, hurts to breathe, cough a lot.... Next time I will go to the doctor when it is just a bladder infection.

BRAYDEN AND ME for ONE WEEK :)


Brayden stayed with me from June 14th - June 20th(Michelle arrived on the 20th). We played so hard that I forgot to take pictures. Towards the weekend he also got really sick. It was so much fun spoiling him - I hope his parents aren't to mad at me.
I do have one picture. He wore my glasses until he got a headache.

Michael wrote on the back of these pictures (going top to bottom - left to right):
1. My District - AGAIN
2. Number 2 turtle - I killed. Here is the shell.
3. This guy is so cool, his name is Butch. We tried teaching him, but he said he won't become Mormon. His son is Mormon. He wants us to come visit him; so we do all of the time. He treats me like his kid - it's funny.
4. My fish I caught. Elder Toone, who is an A.P. - but cool, is in the background.
5. Left corner - Elder Rensh, my companion. Right corner - Elder Powell (AP). Up Left - Elder Toon (Cool A.P.). Up Right - Elder Woolf - the coolest of them all, ha, ha.

THE OUTFIT


The cutest outfit was on sale and I wanted Brittany to buy it for Adilynn. It was for 12-19 pounds. I told Mitch it would fit her for a while. He said it wouldn't fit her more than a month. So we agreed that the person that was right would have to buy the outfit. Looks like I purchased the outfit and Addyson will be wearing it soon. Adilynn also got the cutest sun glasses. It seems she may not think so :).

Getting Adilynn for the Night



Friday night we got to keep Adilynn for the night. She is an amazing baby. She smiles and laughs 9/10 of the time and let's us know what she needs by crying 1/10 of the time. She slept in until 9:30 am - much to her grandmother's delight (I love to sleep). She is SO cuddley!

Then we went 5 more hours.
It was fun.
This is the day we got in trouble for
coming in late".



Written on the back of the fish picture,
"All our fish we cleaned and got in trouble for".

"My new companion; he is cool. His name

THE DAY BEFORE EASTER

It feels more like April's Fools Day - this snow is a JOKE!! I guess we need the moisture. Could it come in rain? It is really cold, blowing with drifting snow. Easter will bring the same??
