Dear Mr. Stingray

You ruined my week at the beach.

You hurt me...BAD.

I don't know what I did to make you mad,

maybe I stepped on you, possibly for too long.

Well, you could have given me some other clue,

you did not have to DO THAT!

just sayin'

SEALED TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY

It was a wonderful day.

They were so cute coming out of the Temple.

Beaming with JOY!

Pictures of the reception...coming soon.

BEACH WEEKEND!

So, Chris decided to go off on a roadtrip

with these guys! To Newport Beach!!

This was some pre-wedding de-stressing.

He took Courtney. Who took Tatum and Ashlyn.

He also took Dillon. Who took Tanner.

Everyone had the weekend of their lives! So I've heard.

Playing in the halls of the Hotel...

it's what we do.

A Bicycle built for...FIVE?

How fun is that??

Playing at Newport Beach for 2 whole days = FUN

Really? A bed in the wall? GENIUS!

CANADA EH!

Tyler, Preston, Andrew and Parker

got to go to Canada to Preston's grandpa's for a

"fishing expedition" senior trip extravaganza!

Preston's grandpa planned out their trip

for them ahead of time...all they had to do

was show up and have a Great Time!

It sure looks like they did!!

Grandpa Jim's House on Piers Island!

Vancouver, Canada

Preston Richardson, Parker Ipsen, Tyler, & Andrew Hollis

According to Tyler...this is where all

the "important people" are!

Like the government people!! haha!

He can't remember the name of it : )

Catch of the Day!

Brought some of that home for all

of us to eat...they ended up with

some Salmon and some Halibut.

A picture with Grandpa Jim the 4 guys and

the fishing guide.

I suppose all that fishing wore him out?

BETROTHED!

Jess & Cam's Engagement Photo Shoot

their announcements!

awww...LOVE!

"HEROES...THE POWER WITHIN"

4th Level Girls Camp

June 7,8 & 9 2010

The theme was

"Heroes...The Power Within"

We used some Super-Hero themes,

and did a lot of super-human activities!

Both Chris and I got to go as leaders this year

along with Courtney, this being her 4th year at camp,

so it was SUPER fun!

So...the first thing we did was go rapelling!!

Yep you heard me!

Chris was at the top of the mountain, belaying the girls down.

(he had to be certified that VERY day...

yikes, but did awesome!)

Almost every one of our 40 girls did it!

Even Courtney did it, with a cast on her arm!!

Darby & Lexi

Manda & Paige

...and Courtney, cast & shoes falling off!

see, she was not planning on rapelling after she

broke her hand, so she didn't wear the appropriate

shoes that day. But Bro. Smith told her that he

could make sure she would be safe all the way down

if she still wanted to do it...which she DID, so

guess what? she did! Nothing's stopping that kid!

We needed a bit of a break from all the

high intensity activity, so we made a cute frame and

did a service project! Testimony Gloves!

We also got a nice visit from our

Stake Leaders; Sisters Hatfield, Perkinson & Francis.

Next morning was right back to craziness!!

The GIANTS LADDER!

Darby & Camille...Manda & Paige

Lexi & Courtney...serious monkeys!

Again...MOST of the girls did the giants ladder.

I think ALL of them at least tried it.

It was amazing to see the girls cheering the

other girls on as they were trying to get to the top!

For some...this was NOT easy.

Rifle shooting!

I wasn't there to take a picture...sad.

In the afternoon we went over to the lake

to go canoeing. We had to hike down about a

mile and a half. But it was beautiful down there!

The girls had a blast at the lake...

but I think Bro. Baker might have had

the most fun OF ALL of them!

If you can't tell from this picture...

He was having a blast trying to capsize

all the boats and then not let the

girls back in the boats!

What a great time we had with these girls!

Lots of memories to last a lifetime.
