Alaska Here we come!!
Our family is heading to Alaska early Friday morning. Joshua's family lives there and we are so excited to see them! I am sure I will have tons to post when we get back. We will be gone for a week so I am sure I wont have time to post while I am there but I will when we return. Here are a few pics from last time when we visited. Us by the glaciers, a view from the boat while fishing and a view of where they live.

RIDING THE VACUUM
When I vacuum Brooklyn and Mariyah think its fun and like to "ride" on the vacuum cleaner. At times it's lots of fun, but since I vacuum everyday it gets crazy at times. Lately when I get the vacuum cleaner out Brooklyn immediatly gets her little barbie vacuum out and starts vacuuming and it's so cute:)

Happy Birthday Amy!!
Ok so it may sound a bit weird that I am wishing myself a Happy Birthday but I wanted to say thank you to all my friends and family who sent me birthday texts, cards and lots of great phone calls. I really felt loved and I appreciate each one of you. Thank you for making my birthday special.
Today my mom, my sisters and Mariyah, Brooklyn and me went shopping at Chandler Mall. My mom bought us lunch, and she bought me a few new shirts for my birthday. We had a wonderful time and then this evening Joshua and I went out to eat while my parents watched the girls. It was a wonderful day and I felt like a princess for the day:)
I am frustrated because my video doesn't work for some reason on my blog, but I got the cuties VIDEO ever of Brooklyn. She goes around saying Happy Day and lately she seriously started saying "Happpy Dirday do you" and it is the cutiest ever and I got it on video. She turned 17 months today and in all honesty I am amazed at what she can say...and she also calls me Amy...I'm like no I am mom and she says no Amy and then says why mom. She has such a funny personality.

This pic was taken at girls camp. Mom thank you for being an amazing mom and all the fun we have had over the past 29 years of my life:)

Me when I was a baby. I took it out of the scrapbook and sorry that it's not very clear....ya know it's not like their were digital cameras back then haha

Every year on our birthday's we always get a cute balloon

GIRLS CAMP!!!!! BE LOYAL TO THE ROYAL!
EXTREMELY FUN Leaders: Sarah, Ashley, Amy, Natalie, Jlynn



This past week I went to Girls camp and had many amazing experiences!!! Girls camp is so incredible and it was so neat to be with the Young Women and be apart of their camp experience. Of course I took tons of pics and here is a slide show of a few of the many pics I took. What was so fun is that my mom was the cook up at camp and my sister Lindsey was a 5th year YCL, and I am in Young Womens, so we were all 3 of their together. We had a dance Friday night and us leaders had a blast dancing and we were all being crazy and having TONS of FUN!!!! They also had a zip line and a merry go round. Check out the pics!!! I must also say that we did lots of cute crafts, did certification with the girls and had many incredible spiritual experiences too. The Young Women girls were amazing and they were all so much fun!! It was so neat getting to know the girls better and the great laughs we had too. Overall camp was an incredible experience and one that I will cherish for years.
