Girls Camp...


So Danaka had the opportunity to attend Girls Camp for the first time. I think that she had a great time. When I asked her what her favorite part was "Getting to start a fire with my knife..." Do I have a pyro on my hands?????

The girls do some crazy things now, I had heard it before, but I figured it was just that set of girls, but then Danaka told me that they used the ash from the fire to brush their teeth??????? WHAT ASH, first of all that is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard, but to think that it actually works. She didn't believe me when I told her it was just an illusion. Your mouth goes from completely black with ash to normal Clean, of course it is going to look white. Crazy Girls.

Girls Camp isn't exactly rough camp anymore, Danaka was only about 30 minutes away and had cell phone coverage, I think I talked to her a total of 15 times it 2 days, which is fine with me. The best phone call was "Hi Mom, I am standing behind my tent so I don't have long to talk, just wanted to say....." She is a nut.

Well Ms Danaka hope that you had a great time. Jayci and I are glad that you are back home.... We missed you!

Pictures at the Park

I thought that it would be fun to take the girls to Murray park and take some pictures of them. They both change so fast, and for some reason it has really hit me the last little while. I don't know if it is the fact that Danaka is going to Jr High or Jayci is almost 9 months...I am not sure, all I can say is that everything is going by too fast. Anyway enough sap for now, hope you enjoy some of my favorites. Thanks for a fun night girls!

Now that Elementary is Over...Where are you going?

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!

For the past 3 summers my mom has gone to California for a school for her job. This year, they did a big graduation ceremony, so we all went to cheer her on and congratulate her on a job well done, and then go to Disneyland! It was a huge 3 years, from 2 presentations that took about 1000 hours, to each summer being 240 hours to studying for 3 huge tests. You did a great job and we are so proud of you.













A little about our trip, we headed out on Wednesday afternoon. I drove down with my dad, Danaka and Jayci. We drove to St George and stayed the night, then met up with Angela's family Thursday morning and headed to California.














Thursday night was the graduation, the Friday it was off to Disneyland well actually California Adventures. It was so fun to see Danaka there, even though she now knows that the Princesses are not real :-), and Jayci, oh sweet Jayci. She did great, the car ride down all the moving around. She did love the characters though, she did her famous wave. We went in to one of the shops and this sweet guy gave Jayci a TinkerBell Pin right off his badge. Thank You to who ever you were in the Flight Shop!


It was a fun couple of days. On Sunday we drove in to Vegas to break up the trip a little. Have you ever heard of a 6 year old winning it big in Vegas....well Kandace has. Little Kandace decided on Monday morning to search through the bible in her room and low and behold, there was a $100.00 bill in there. What a lucky little kid, "I am rich, I am rich", is what we heard the rest of the day!













Well over all it was a FANTASTIC trip. We had a great time. Thanks mom & dad!


Danaka...




Well the end of June Danaka was offically no longer an elemnetary student. Deep Breath!!! I have a Jr High Student.


I am so proud of Danaka, she only received one B and the rest A's all through school. She went to 4 different schools and just took the change and ran with it.


She has tried to be apart of all that she could, and she gave everything 100%.


As her elementary time ended, Danaka received the "Hope of America" and the "Presidential Academic Acheivement" award. She has also scored 100% on her CRTs in a few catagories. I know that I am bragging, but I have a lot to brag about.


Danaka, I love you so much and am SO PROUD of you. Good Luck with Jr High, and remember not to think I am crazy the first day of school when I can't compose myself :-)
