Preschool Mother's Day program

Oh my gosh there is no way Afton is old enough to melt my heart in a Mother's Day program. I was so excited to go to her classroom and see what she'd been working on. My mom and Dad met me there and I loved every minute!!

I did cry when she sang the Mother song. I love her.

All my goodies!

Each child filled out a questionarre and Mrs. Santizo read a few lines outloud. Apparently I'm prettiest when I wear make up and my job is to work out!!

This cute little guy brought a flower for each momma.

I am the luckiest mom in the world!! Love my sweet baby more than anything!

Me

Brett took this (along with a few others) in the backyard. He is such a good sport and I know he secretly loves being behind the camera. He cracks me up and makes me smile. I need to do a new list about me and my life right now but I'm so tired. I'll update later!

Girl's Camp

I was really excited to have the opportunity to go to Girl's Camp this year. I love my calling as the Beehive Teacher and was excited to get some quality fun time with the girls. The only night I really 'needed' to be there was on Tuesday the 24th but due to some complications at home and with it being a holiday I didn't go up until Thursday night.

I drove up with Cammie, the Young Women's President and Candi, the secretary. We drove up Provo Canyon and into Heber and the scenery was beautiful and it was fun to get to know those two a little more.

Me and Cammie!

I sure got the stink eye when I first pulled out my camera but it didn't last long. No lack of personality here!

There were no campfires allowed this year so the girls made lanterns using glow in the dark stickers and paint. They had small lights (with a switch) inside at night. They were darling.

Delicious scones for dinner. Most of the girls had Navajo Tacos but I drenched mine in powdered sugar and honey!

I can't even remember the name of this game but I was sure having fun taking pictures. Whoever was in the middle had to dance and jump and do all sorts of commands given in the song.

And I love the look on my face (it's so me and I'm so lame) when one of the Laurel's took my camera (pried it from my fingers) and sent me to the middle. Can you tell I'm excited?? I had no idea she was snapping pictures. My kind of girl...

I did my best!

Delicious watermelon! That went nicely with my sugar scone.

Laurels in one of their many poses.

More laurels.

Young women leaders and camp counselors. Emily (2nd counselor), Candi (secretary), me (Beehive teacher), Eliza (Camp counselor), Ashley (Camp counselor), Cammie (YW President).

Our Bishopbric is awesome. Dave Stone, 2nd counselor. Dustin Bassett, Bishop. Steve Elmont, 1st counselor.

The girls were having so much fun taking pictures. Sad to say though I didn't get my yummy crunch bar because I was too busy taking pictures. Boo boo

Beehives with their Momma Bear!

Seriously goofy. These girls are so much fun!

More goof, more fun...

Mia Maids were excited to try out different poses. So here is their star. Pretty cool.

And their feet...

And the tree shot...

And Charlie's Angels. They didn't really know who Charlie's Angels were. hehe

I had a really great time with the girls and the leaders. I loved listening to testimonies and I loved watching the girls support each other, goof around with each other and comfort each other throughout the night. Some girls were homesick, some were physically sick, some were tired, but they were all so sweet and caring. It was fun to take pictures and see their personalities shine through. Cute bunch of girls!

Gardner Village with Mom and my own Sweet Afton!

Oh my sweet little Afton! We went inside to find they don't carry a SINGLE thing with the name Afton on it. They said I could order something but it would cost around $1500 to make the mold. No thank you. They did however give Afton a nice big sample of bubble gum fudge!

Sweet, sweet Afton!

I love spending time with my Mom. This little outing was for my birthday! My niece Clara and I share a birthday and we happened to have Tim's family and Dan's family all here that day. You can see more of that day HERE.

Martin Sexton

Can I just say for the 100th time that I LOVE Martin Sexton???

He is AMAZING!!!

He is amazing for so many reasons, one being the free concert he put on at the Canyons in Park City!

We loaded up, drove up the canyon and enjoyed a two hour concert! The sun was shining and Afton had so much fun in the beginning dancing in the middle of the crowd but finally decided it was just too loud. (We were about 10 feet away from him.)

Brett and Afton eventually wandered up the little hill next to the stage and she played and played. Every now and then I would wander over to where they were but always ended up back in front of the show. At one point Afton made friends with some little girls and they played on the side of the stage. Afton actually ran onto the stage a couple of times but Brett grabbed her before she got too far away!

I ran into some old friends and had fun talking about what big fans we were back in the day! Hehe

After the show I ran behind the stage and asked for a photo. The last one I had taken was about 10 years ago and my hair was blond (not cute)! He said, yes if you follow me. So of course I did and then a lot of other people starting following as well. We ended up inside and he was being bombarded a bit but turned and said, where's that girl? He saw me and put his arm around me and I was so excited! I even got little Aftee in the picture!

The ride up and down the hill was Afton's favorite part! It was such a beautiful day! 

 Can you even stand how excited I am??? No one else was even paying attention! :) What a dork!

Girl's Day Out

Funny to say girls day out because every day is girl's day for me and Afton! I am so lucky to get to spend all day with my little sweetie. We have so much fun!
