Girl's camp 2012
I just got back from our week long young women's camp -whew! 
We had a GREAT time!
in short:
we did some swimming and canoeing...
 some long beautiful hikes...
 enjoyed the mountain air and scenery...
 did some serious zip-lining!....


 enjoyed our time together as sisters! -including some awesome hair-styling ;)
 We had some really awesome moments with the girls 
in different -more spiritual- activities and lessons.
We had activities to teach the girls about -and help provide opportunities to develop- leadership qualities.
We did a "commitment walk" where every girl had the opportunity to make a commitment to Christ that she would live by the standard/value being taught -it was very touching.
There was a fantastic story shared about staying on a path of righteousness and not falling to the world's view of who we are/should be.
This pic is of a balloon launch we had, where the girls each took a balloon resembling a struggle they were dealing with and decided to let it go into the Lord's hands.

I love the Young Women's program we have in our church. It is truly an inspired program! 
I especially love to see the experiences the girls -and leaders- have at camp! 
You can tell they feel the Spirit and are strengthened and feel united throughout the entire week!!
-and prayerfully we as leaders hope they bring those lessons home and apply them to daily life.
We have amazing youth!!!

I REALLY don't like it when.....

MOMS, YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS NEEDED! A few months ago I was in Walmart :P with three VERY small children. Law was being a very happy playful self -which is rare so I REALLY enjoy these moments. Not bothering anyone or anything just being happy, laughing, and playing  when an old man came around the corner and SH'd him harshly it caught him off guard he was scared and sad. I didn't do anything -not because I agreed with the man that he needed to 'SSHHH!!' but because I just didn't know what to do! I have regretted not saying something to that man ever since. We are a loud family and Law does have a big voice but he didn't need to do that it was rude and uncalled for. Today I visited that same Walmart for the first time since then and my boys were running around the cart as I was checking out -just being happy, not being destructive at all -and believe me I'd be the first to admit if they were being too rowdy -it's not uncommon. However this time, lik...

So we just found out the other day that we're expecting our second child. I don't really know what to say because it doesn't feel like a reality, I'm still trying to grasp the thought that I have one! Anyrate I am due the 6th of March which seems so far away! I am so excited! I am also struggling with tons of feelings of anxiety and some worries, like will Law feel replaced or feel I don't love him as much? Will I love them both equally? etc. etc. Did/Do any of you have worries like this? How do I help Law cope with pregnancy and a new sibling? Any advice?
