Wowzers...I cannot believe that my kids only have 8 days of school left. Where did the school year go? Not that I am too sad though, I am ready to sleep in a bit and let things settle down. Not that summer is totally slow, Mitch has football, basketball, and track camps...oh and he has to get JOB. He has a debt to his Grandpa Reeder (from totalling the 4-wheeler), and needs to start saving for a mission. So....he will be busy. Yahoo! Sydney has girls camp, her first year and she is super duper excited! And probably LOTS of babysitting. She really wants a new IPOD, so she is hoping to wrangle lots of jobs to earn the money! So she will be busy too....Yahoo!!! That leaves Tyler, the caboose! I need to find a couple of camps for him to do...maybe swimming lessons! And probably lots of Wii playing for him. So..hopefully he will be busy too! Yahoo!!! As for me...after Girls Camp...my life should settle down a bit. I will be very much looking forward to June 20th. Hopefully all will go well. We have been planning like crazy, hopefully all the hours will pay off.
Our Camp theme for the year is "TREK". We are focusing in on the Pioneers and Joseph Smith and early church history. With an emphasis on the reason the saints did what they did...which was the Temple. Trying to teach the YW of our Stake that their goals now should be no different. They can and should have the same focus...even though the trials may be different. We are really excited, have handcarts rounded up and everything. The first day as part of our opening ceremonies, I am going to have the girls brand. It will just be a chunk of wood...but it will be our camp logo and something they can take home. I am going to talk about "branding" the gospel onto our hearts! We have soo much great stuff planned....I am getting excited. So far...we have about 100 girls and close to 50 leaders! Phew!!!
A week or so ago we drove up to Camp Glenwood..just to check it out and see if the snow was gone (it was mostly), but along the way we followed the river. It was soo pretty we had to stop and snap a couple pics. This is right by the "Staircase" rapid on the Southfork of the Payette River and it was cruising pretty good! Lots of water moving very fast! Had to include a couple pics of my cute family!!!
Here are my handsome men. Mitch is almost as tall as his dad. Only an inch or so to go. Randy is not digging it!!! Hehehe. Makes me laugh!

Wow your kids are so grown up... soon you will have an empty house!! Hope you have fun at girls camp, I have GREAT memories from my girls camps full of giggles and more (well you know how it is)! LOL I can't believe your kids are almost out for the summer, are you coming to visit anytime soon?
I can't believe you guys get out of school so soon. We are in until the middle of June.
GC sounds amazing! I love everything you have planned. It all sounds like it will really make an impact on the girls!
It sounds like camp will be awesome. Wish I were still in your stake. The pictures of the family are great. Can you believe how fast our kids are growing up?
Oh I am so sad to not be going this year. It sounds like it is going to be so much fun. Remember if you guys need me for anything, I would love to come up for the day! But have so fun, I can't wait to see pictures!
I have been a slacker on commenting on the blog! I can't tell you what this picture did to me though~raging water, mountains, and pine trees?!? And thinking about girls camp~I would love to come up for a night, but that would be quite the jaunt. Can I come back? I'm just kidding, but camp sounds like it will be awesome (is it this coming week?!?) Your themes are always amazing. Good luck with everything. I cannot BELIEVE how tall Mitch is. Love ya!
