Girls Camp 2012 :)

So this past June I headed to Girls Camp with our lovely Spanish Branch Young Women. I had a blast! We do what you normally do at girls camp....have fun and eat a bunch of junk :) I use to love camping. I still do but def not as much as I use too. So it was experience I haven't done in a couple of years. It was nice to have a girls week all week with the Young Women and some of the other leaders I work and serve with. I stayed in a tent with my Sister in Law Sara. That was fun within itself! I don't think we have ever laughed so hard at the dumbest and stupidest things. I felt like I was in High School again. But I think that's what I love about it most. You can kinda act like a kid again. :) Anyways it was a fun experience. I wish I could go back again this next year but I will just have had baby # 2 in April. So I def think I will not be able to attend this next year. :(

Ya I know its fall...but Alex's High School Graduation: June 2012 :)

So yes I sincerely apologize for being such a horrible blogger pretty much this whole summer! It has been a busy one. Actually that's not really my excuse...my computer broke and Justin has a different program on his and I could never figure it out. Anyways at least I am finally getting around to doing it again! PRAISE THE HEAVENS ABOVE! Anyways ill start out all of these lovely blog post with my Brother Alex's High School Graduation. It was back in June but we are proud of him and hope for the best! Anyways I prob wont be as detailed as I normally am but hey at least your getting the pics. Also its amazing to me how much Lucy Jane as grown in these past few months :) 

 Yay congrats Alex! 

Yay for Alex! We love ya buddy! Remember to keep your future bright and always do the smart thing!

I promise we are not dead....

Hey to everyone! We are alive and well! I have been the worst blogger this summer...but I can assure you that I have a very good excuse! My lap top died early at the beginning of summer time so therefore I have had a hard time uploading photo's. I am going to use Justin's but every time I seem to remember to blog, Justin has his at work with him. Plus we have had a super busy summer! Anyways I promise I will blog very soon! Not that yall are interested or anything...but hey for my own benefit I need too! Its pretty much the closet thing I have to a journal...ya im bad at that too. Anyways we are heading to my parents Lake House today to enjoy some time with family. It should be a blast as always! But I will be back soon my friends to blog!

 So we seriously had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! It was a blast! Friday we headed down to Charleston for one of my good friends David Goltra's Wedding. Friday night we hung out with some of my old friends and Justin's old friends that now live down in Charleston. We played games and had a blast catching up! Saturday morning we hit up the beach at my favorite place Isle of Palms. It was a mad house though being a holiday weekend and all, but I still purely loved sticking my toes in the sand and getting my pasty white skin a smige burnt (we are big time sun block peeps). My friends Katie and Jenny came with us to soak up the sun and hang out a bit more! After that we went back, showered, cleaned up and headed down to the beautiful Wedding Reception held at The Mill House Hotel in Downtown Charleston.....love that place! Seriously so gorgeous! It was great to see Dave and his new beautiful bride Lindsay! I loved seeing so many old friends there that I still stay in contact with over the years! I was in pure heaven when I got to go to the my favorite Candy Store in Charleston and get a taste of the wonderful homemade pralins and bear claws! You just cant beat it! After the reception Saturday night we headed up to my parents Lake House in Camden, SC and spent the rest of the weekend there! Loved soaking in the sun once more to get this pasty girl some color! We took Lucy Jane out on the lake and she didn't like the temperature of the water too much but she was a trooper. There was a big group of us down there. Some of my parents friends and our friends the Roundy's came down to spend the Holiday with us. We really enjoyed ourselves. I wish the weekend didn't have to come to an end...it was such a blast and I wish I was still sitting  by the ocean or on the dock of the lake, or even enjoying a nice boat ride with the lovely wind blowing in my hair. Anyways back to reality we go! But to end this, I am grateful to live in this country with the freedom we have today and for those who risk their lives daily for it. Thank you to all that serve in the Military! You are truly an honor! GOD BLESS YOU! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY YALL!!!

This past weekend we heading down to my parents Lake House to enjoy some time out in the water in the boat. I hadn't been on a boat in a little while and so it was nice to get on one again. It was Lucy Jane's first time on a speed boat and Justin's also from what he can recall. They both really enjoyed it. Lucy fell dead asleep the minute we started moving and Justin really enjoyed the ride. We are going again this coming weekend for Memorial Day and we cant wait to get some more sun!
