natural disaster

Our RS had mock natural disasters. I was chosen to not go to the grocery store for 3 days. Seriously, I'm glad to report it was no problem. We have alot of food. I enjoy buying food so it was nice to take time out from going to the store and actually eating our food that we do have. I was supposed to take inventory and realize stuff we can improve on. I did. We need batteries in our emergence flashlights in the kitchen cupboard..they were dead. I need more dry milk. We go through 10 gallons a week. I kid you not. I need more meat in the freezer....at least enough for a month. I'm sure there's alot more but that's all for now. It was a good experiment. We were asked to stage a photo..so here's one.

ward campout

Once again, we were in charge of our ward campout. I think it was a success! The kids had a great time and the breakfast was wonderful! Whole wheat pancakes!!

My new favorite web site. I got it from a friend. This has super cute ideas.

I'd post pics but it's better if you just check out the whole site. Thanks Jenn.

Our "1" mile hike (or 4)

Damon carried O on the way there, I carried him the way back!
Chris, the other photographer!
The BOYS!
The gang! Mican looks super thrilled with our hike!

We started out on our short hike with 7 kids....sound crazy well it turned out to be alot longer than we thought. We heard alot of crying, stories and laughter. We carried half the kids the whole way. It was fun though. The Masons kept us entertained the whole time we were in Utah. We had so much fun!
