Memorial Weekend


I realize I am a little late in posting this but life has been busy lately. I am the young Women's President for our ward and next week is Girl's Camp.

We spent the weekend in St. George. Unfortunately, it was much cooler than usual so we were unable to go to Lake Mead. (Dad was very upset about the temperature.) Colby and I spent Sunday at his parents house and Colby manned the grill when Grandma and Grandpa Squire came over for lunch. It was fabulous!








Jillian has been working hard the last couple of months to clean out mom's "sty" room. She is going to be moving into the room soon so we spent some time repainting the room in the colors she choose. I don't know if you can tell from the photo but one wall is a medium chocolate color, one wall is tan and a bright pink stripe. It looks so cute!






Monday Dad, Colby, Jordanne, Jillian, Kato and I went on a "grandpa, just over this hill, it's an easy hike, what do you mean it's been three hours and ten miles" hike. Dad kept saying it's just a little farther, I told him I knew this trick. If you notice in the few photos of me that I look pained, let's just say I am not a little as I used to be and am definitely not in the shape I once was. If you notice the sign, we were on a "protected" reserve, I love you can't go anywhere to go hiking near St. George without having to watch for the desert tortoise (that I have never seen in the wild). After hiking for several miles we decided to head back to the vehicles and Kato fell down a canyon. Kato was injured slightly and wouldn't trust us anymore when we told him to come so Colby and Dad ended up having to lift Kato down the canyon. For all my panting and whining I had a really good time and am even more motivated to get into better shape.

I can't believe you are going camping for an entire week!! Please tell me you are leaving the high heels at home. :) Jillian's room turned out way cute. Glad you have a new post. The bird eggs picture always made me think of our litter box. Not a good image.

You're such a trooper! When I was the camp counselor (6 months pregnant, thank you very much) NONE of the YW presidency came. Good luck and have fun!

The room turned out even better than I imagined it. I am so proud of you for hiking all day long. It really takes a lot out of you. Good luck at camp. I know you will have a wonderful time! You are the perfect person to have has the YW president, and I know those girls will have the time of their lives. Let me know when you get back and we'll find some time to scrapbook and watch soe chick flicks.
