Beach Days at Lake Tahoe/Summer 2011

Cave Rock with Suz and Ryan.


Some how Lexie got out of the house in a swimsuit that was probably 3 sizes too big! But it worked for her!


*********************
Nevada Beach
We actually found a day to go that Jim could go with us. The girls love when Dad comes! He plays in the sand with them.
One of them likes to hang in the shade with Mom!

Sand Harbor
At the beach with friends...






 Any one watch the show H20? My girls love it. It's about girls who are mermaids! Lex is pretending to be one of them.
We love the beach. Definately didn't go as often as we should have.

Karissa's 9th Birthday!

To my beautiful 9 year old! You are AMAZING!
You are loved by sooo many. To prove it, Aunt Suz and Uncle Ryan came to visit you. It was a total surprise to you that they came.

 Blowing out 9 candles now! WOW!
You get along so well with who ever you are playing with. I always hear from so many parents that their kids always say that they like playing with you. You are so good with little kids too. You make them happy and are their friend. ALL of your younger boy cousins love to play with you because you take the time to pay attention to them and do things they want to do. You are such a good example to all of your cousins, friends, and family. I Love you and am so Thankful that you are My Karissa Anne!

I'm Sentimental and Nostalgic and I Love to Reminisce

6 years tonight....same day, same date....lot's of memories.
One of my biggest trials I have experienced began.
I gained an overwhelming testimony of my Savior and that he will carry my burdens for me.
I am so blessed to have my beautiful Lexie Lou!
And even as I am typing this, she is bringing me breakfast that she made.....on a tray with a flower!

Summer 2011 Part B

Road Trip to Utah!
 Running through the sprinklers.....


 Chillin' with my buddy....
 Have to go gather eggs before getting dressed, so let's just put sandals on over our jammie feet....
Participating in the 4th of July Parade...
 Washing Grandma's car....


 Painting nails with Bailey....
 Jim and I went for a ride on the mountain.  The flowers were beautiful!
I haven't seen one of these for years....It's a Sego Lilly. Utah's State Flower.
 The cactus plants were blooming too! Vibrant colors!

We were even there when some baby chicks hatched. We found them scattered in the horse corral.

Having a snack with my buddy....
Sleep over with Bailey.....notice who is zonked....
Discovering that our cat, Ebony, was still alive!
A ride up to Fish Lake....

Skipping Rocks....






A controlled burn that my brother was doing....
Picnic on the Mountain....



Brindley Dairy...Where I shot my elk 18 years ago on the 19th of Sept.
Looks alot different. Most of the trees have been cleared out.
A little closer to the controlled burn my brother was on. You can see a few fire guys throught the smoke.


Still not sure what kind of animal this was. It was very large though!
My 6th grade classmates! Minus one! So fun seeing all of them!
I also have to mention....going to Richfield for groceries and going to lunch. Eating at the Cafe! Thunder Storms! Cleaning Motel Rooms! Watering Lawns! So many other fun memories on our trip to Koosharem! Spending time with FAMILY!

I am a Daughter of my Heavenly Father

I am a Daughter of my Heavenly Father, who loves me and I love him.
I will stand as a witness of God at all times, and in all things and in all places
as I strive to live the Young Women Values
which are:
Faith,
Divine Nature,
Individual Worth,
Knowledge,
Choice and Accountability,
Good Works,
Integrity
and Virtue.
I believe as I come to accept and act upon these values, I will be prepared to
Strengthen Home and Family,
Make and Keep Sacred Covenants,
Recieve the Ordinances of the Temple,
and Enjoy the Blessings of Exaltation.
