time just moves too fast...

i know i know... i totally disappeared.... I've been busy with work and the crew

(you know Nam, brad and sometimes Jared).... there's life beyond blogger....haha I've had lots and lots of shifts... keeping busy and usually i just come home and want to crash.... lets see what have i done since June 6.... this might not be in order.... hmm....

last week i went to see Larry glewiz(forever strong) speak at the sandy institute... its a fireside/class called forum on Wednesday nights... its really cool!!! the week before we heard brother Anderson speak and the following Sunday we heard him again(summer summit fireside)... i need to get better about remembering to write down what i did...

on Friday we went to the PG strawberry days rodeo... it was super fun!!! and the strawberries and cream were awesome... i had the brilliant idea to park at Nina's house and walk from there.... it wasn't my greatest plan but it wasn't so bad... it was hot but it was nice... better than the pourid rain last year... the whole family went minus the Pena's plus the Ol's and weavers and christian... he counts as family though.... on the walk over mom said she forgot snacks so Nam and i stopped at Walgreen's to get some licorice and water..... brad met us later....it was seriously so awesome although i was kinda distracted with Charlotte....my friend Lacey's husband did the wild cow milking... it was a really fun night.... although i do miss the original one arm bandit... his daughter took over....

on Saturday we went to the Manti pageant... it was super cool and i took a few pics....there was only one protester... what a dork... there were a few things that stuck out to me....first i thought it was really cool that brad's friend Eric was king Lamoni....i really liked the part that had to do with the title of liberty and the promise that we would be OK so long as there were people who believed and love the lord.... i really loved the part where they sang a poor wayfaring man... it makes me teary.... its just so over whelming that Joseph smith sacrificed so much so that we could know and have the truth today....

i also loved the part where they lit up the tower that the angel Moroni is traditionally on and there was a person dressed like him with his trumpet and all..... and the ending was amazing.... they had all these people dressed in white on the hill side next to the temple... and i only got one mosquito bite! did you know there are a few temples that don't have the spires or the angel Moroni on top... to name a few... manti, Hawaii, Arizona...

on Sunday we had stake conference to reorganize the stake presidency cause pres Godwin is going to serve as a mission pres in San bernardino in Cali lucky man.... its funny cause everyone thought he would be in longer but elder Ballard put his name on a list and he was called... our new pres is pres Anderson who was recently called as second counselor to replace pres Wilson.... moms been making me walk with her in the mornings.... i hate it but i go cause i don't want to get any bigger.... anyway Sunday was also fathers day but i gave dad his present the day before....it was a sweet tie... he didn't wear it though so i told Alex to... anyway we had mike and Emily and brad and the Pena's and Terry's and christian over... it was really fun.... christian told me about his plan to possibly join the army.... i wish i could find a guy like that.... funny and nice and with a plan.... charlotte is learning how to hold her bottle all by herself!!! shes growing too fast....

on june 30th mom and i are goin to see eclipse with the free tickets i won from kneaders... yay!!!
