Camping

Last weekend we were able to go camping up Mapleton canyon for the 4th. We went with my mom's side of the family. The Irvines, (Stephanie's family), also came up. We had a blast. Janessa and Mason were able to come up with Jen and Janae from Cedar. We had a horseshoe tournament, checker tournament, water fights, and we played with wads. We had a ton of fun. I love being with family. It was my first time seeing Coralyn. It was fun to hold her. She is so small! I remember when Kamrynne was that small. Time flies. In the horseshoe tournament I was JJ's partner. We played in the championship game but lost. It was my first time playing and I was really surprised I could play that well. I must have been pretty lucky! My mom and grandma did so well planning everything. We had a total blast! I love getting away from the city and go and enjoy the beautiful mountains. It was fun and I can't wait to go camping again.

Youth Conference

I was able to go to St. George for my first youth conference. I had an absolute blast! We were there Monday thru Wednesday. On Monday we went to Cove Fort on the way there. It was really interesting to learn why it was really there and what everything was used for. After we unpacked we were able to go to Tuacahn! It was pretty amazing! Tuacahn is an outside theater and they use the mountain as part of the stage. It was awesome. We got back pretty late though. On Tuesday we were able to go to the temple that morning. I have missed going there since I moved from Ely. I love that it is not as busy as Provo. It was beautiful and I loved going to the visitors center. That night we were able to go to a part of the narrows. It was really cool. We had to fit through a small crack. We all barly fit. I was surprised that some of the leaders were able to go through. On monday we were able to listen to the St. George temple president, President Ortin. He was just recently released as a member of the 70. I remember him coming to Ely to sustain President Pitts as the new Stake president. It was pretty cool to see him again. After, we had testimony meeting. It was my favorite part of the trip. I love to express how I feel. I love testimony meeting whether it is at girls camp, church, or youth conference. I had a blast, and I can't wait to go next year!

Wasatch Back!

My Dad ran in a relay called the Wasatch Back with his siblings and cousins. There were twelve runners and they all ran 180 miles from Logan to Park city. They each rotated and ran three legs. We went up to see them at the end in Park City. They did so well! My dad was amazing. They were all pretty sore. Especially the night we got home. My dad was pooped! I loved the shirts my aunt Jessi made! They were way bright and we could definatly tell where all the Frames were! What a fun experience we all had!

Softball

I had a lot of fun doing softball this year! I had a pretty good team. We have only lost 2 or 3 games. Our season is over but we are going to have a tournament to see who will go to state. It will be pretty cool it we got to go to state. But I hope it does not interfere with anything if we do. I do miss my mom coaching. She was amazing and I had a lot of fun memories with her and my team. I do miss my team too, I had a ton of fun with them. I am greatful that I had a good season with great coaches and a fun season of softball.

Volleyball Camp

Last week I was able to attend a volleyball camp up in Salem. It was amazing! All of the trainers taught me sooooo much! It was fun to go with my two friends Millie and Bethany. We had a blast and it was fun to be around them all week. It went from 8:30 in the morning till 5:00 at night. We went through a lot of fun and hard drills. They expected a lot out of us because we were all old enough too know the basics. The age group was 7th grade through high school. But there was not a whole lot of girls younger than me. It was a blast and I can't wait to do it next year.

Coralyn!

I got a new cousin on Friday! She is so cute! I love all of her black dark hair! She was seven lbs. 4 oz. and 20 inches long. Kamrynne is so cute with her and I know those two will be two peas in a pod. I have only seen her in pictures and I can't wait to see her in person, and be able to hold her. I am so excited for a new cousin! It will be fun to see her grow up.
