summer 09!!

this summer ive been working for mom either sorting pictures or doing odd-end jobs around the house. i've also been going to singles ward and been boating a ton!!! ive also been doing other fun things to keep me occupyed.

fourth of the july!:
for the fourth we went to grandpas house and went tubbing with the martins. then they left and the wilson family came over adn we had pizza and went out in the boat for skiing :) then we all headed out to watch the fireworks on the lake! they were awesome as always! afterwards we ended with pie and ice cream

horsebackriding!:
the wilson girls came over for a week slumberparty and one of the days we went horsebackriding in sherwood. there a HORSE BITE ME! on the arm leaving a bruise.but that horse is still my fav cuz he was the craziest.




The Beach!:
whats summer without the beach. me and my friend christine and a few of her friends went to the beach. we build sandcastles, hiked around, and enjoyed the sand.






Rafting!: i had the oppurtunity to go rafting with my friends the hammer family. it was just one boat which is different then i was used to but still was so fun! we had plastic swords my friend found at the dollar tree. they didnt do anything but just were rad and floated. so when another boat would water attack us, we would fight back by shaking our swords and saying "dont make us use this!" lol




tubing!: ive been blessed to go out tubbing almost everyweek if not twice a week. we got some new tubes which our really fun. one time i was tubbing with john and we were about to get chucked off so we would shift our weight to correct it and be safe well one time we over corrected it and fliped the tube the oppisite way we were being chucked off. haha

Easter! making days better..

for easter i went to church and it was really neat! i gave prayer in sacrament meeting....that was a first.

after church i went to jeffs with sherry and jeffs sisters and we had a dinner together which was very yummy and i brought a sherbert pie :). then we had a easter egg hunt that sherry set up ...and it was really hard cuz the eggs were little and well hidden but very fun! then we played uno and chatted.


new goals: right now im reading the new testiment and ive made a goal to write what i learened that day from the scriprutes and thats what i am going to work on for the day.

things i learned from the scriptures (matt 7) on easter day: dont judge, ask god, treat others how you want to be treated, you acts determin if your good or not, do heavenly fathers will adn you will have heaven, be wise and use common sense.

conference

i wanted to write down what i learned from conference before i forget.

i thought it was pretty insane they talked about temple attendance in two talks in a row..must be really important.

they asked us to find more investigators for the missionarys so they can be doing more teaching and less finding.

they said alot through out conference that we are not alone!

the prophet sad a warning to everyone of the new technology of having bad things available. espeacially the internet (ive never had trouble with the internet but felt that this was very direct and i should act on it so instead of worry about the internet im going to be more picky on the tv, movies and music i listen and watch.)

in the young womens (which techniquely im not one but i watched anyway) the prophet talked alot about courage...First, the courage to refrain from judging others;
Second, the courage to be chaste and virtuous; and Third, the courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness.
