Think Again!

I don't know why I thought I would have more time when school got out! I kept thinking as soon as school got out and camp was over we could relax! Think again! We are so busy with friends and projects around the house and so on! This summer is going by way to fast! We are having a lot of fun and we do need to stay busy or there will be whining and headaches!

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I posted. Camp was amazing. We had so much fun! The girls were so happy with all of the little things we prepared for them! I just walked around camp with a smile on my face the whole time! I was just so happy to be there and the spirit could be felt every where we went. The girls were such a good example to me. They were constantly serving each other and not just their friends. The last night was the spiritual night and it was one of the most spiritual experiences I have ever had. I am so grateful that these girls got to have this experience at such a young age. I am tearing up thinking about it. This night can't be described any better than on Sarinah's
blog. Check it out. The women who put on the Faith Walk are incredible so I am not surprised at all that it was so wonderful!

Our family got some great news last week! We have two cousins who are foster children and are going to be offically sealed to their families July 12th! Rebeka Miles' adobtion was on June 4th and Lexie Harms' adobtion will be on July 8th. We are so thrilled to have these sweet babies offically join the family! We love them so much! I really want to show you pictures, but I don't have thier mom's permisson so I will have to do it another time. I almost forgot, JoyAnn started a blog and you can see pictures of Lexie on her
blog!

I hope everyone is having a great summer! I can't wait to hear about all of the adventures!

It sounds like you had an amazing time at camp. I head out next week for my girls camp so I hope I can give great reviews about it as well.
I thought the same thing as you about the summer. It should be more relaxing but just like you said it seems busier... why is that? I guess we just don't want to hear "Mom I'm bored" so we packed in as many activities as possible but now it seems a bit overwhelming.
At least you have your pool to enjoy that is refreshing(pun intented):)

Thank you for not sharing any embarassing camp stories. Lets make a plan that when your kids start saying they are bored you can send them over here and I'll do the same...

Seems like camp turned out great. I've heard nothing but good things. I feel like this summer is flyin' by too. I think we're busier than ever.

The way I remember her...football is fitting to her personality! :) You have the cutest family, it was fun to see pictures and I'm glad things are going well for you all! Keep in touch!
