Only 2 more weeks until Jake graduates! I cannot believe it!

All you women out there, go see "Mama Mia"! It is so cheesy, hilarious, and sweet!

Girl's Camp

On Friday night, we all sat around a campfire and had a blast! We were constantly running after Addie because she would run to the fire every chance she got! Ashley is one of the young women in our ward here, Addie loves her!
Hmmm, do we look tired and dirty? I think it's safe to say we felt just how we looked!

The day we left camp, the girls all recieved awards for being so dang cool! we had a small group this year, but they had such a blast! What a goofy bunch!

We're Alive!

So today I got back from girl's camp, and I have never been so happy to take a shower and see my bed! Adeline and I took the two hour trip over to Itasca state park over in Minnesota Friday afternoon, it was absolutely beautiful there! It was however, the longest two hours of my life! Adeline slept for about 40 minutes then decided she was going to scream and cry the remainder of the way--both ways! Fun! Just think of how fun it is going to be when we drive the 9 hours to Colstrip in August! I have also never been around soooo many bugs and nasty mosquitos, I think it's safe to say I had about 2 inches of repelent on us both and we STILL managed to get bit! It was a great trip though, very spiritual. It was great to see all these young women have such strong testimonies of christ and the church. I was so proud of my girls, like a proud mother! The scariest part was being in the middle of nowwhere with a tornado watch for the area! Talk about scary! The dark clouds hovered overhead and the trees looked like they were ready to topple over, turns out that a tornado did touch ground about 15 miles west of us! We were so lucky! Adeline had a pretty fun time, she made about 50 new friends! I don't think I had her with me a whole lot while we were there, someone was always stealing her! She didn't mind, neither did I! As fun as it was, it's always nice to come home--home sweet home!

4th of July downtown Grand Forks

We were excited to take Adeline to the petting zoo, but by the time we got there--her eyes were watering a ton and she kept rubbing them...and she had a runny nose. So.....we are wondering if she has some allergies. So, she only got to see them from afar!
Adeline was up so early the morning we were camping that she just conked out on the way home.

We just realized yesterday amid the celebration that Jake will be graduating in less than one month!!! We cannot believe how fast our time here has gone with Jake going to school. It's now all coming to an end and we have a whole new chapter awaiting us! scary, yet exciting!
