Lemon Drop Shakes!
Okay I just have to share this with you. If you like lemons, then you will LOVE this shake. My cheeks are hurting just thinking about this!!! Here is the recipe...
1/2 small lemon.......2 tbsp. crushed lemon drop candies..........1 tbsp. sugar......1 quart vanilla ice cream........1 1/2 cups lemondade..... Rub the rim of your serving glass/cup with one lemon slice. In a shallow dish combine crushed lemon drops and sugar; dip glass/cup rims in mixture, set aside. In a blender combine ice cream and lemonade. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour ice cream mixtures into glass/cup. Top with remaining lemon slices. Makes 6 servings. Holy cow this is the most yummiest thing in the world. Hope you like it.

Bad Addiction!!
Okay so this is the most exciting thing in the world!!! For Young Womens we decided to make a back to school book for our activity. Well I had to have a display for the girls to look at , so I attempted to make one. This is it the final product, Camryn was so happy that I made it for her. All I did was cover a composition notebook with scrapbook paper and added some ribbon and a jean pocket for her scissors and pencil. I think the girls had a great time doing all the crafty things that they do. I was really impressed with them and their creativeness!! I had a good time and now I am addicted, I need to make more of these.

Wax on , Wax off! Youth Conference '07
What an incredible weekand I had with the youth in our ward. We went up to Show Low to a interesting ranch full of wild horses from the Snowy River! The weekand was filled with fun, exciting, wet and hard activities. I couldn't decide what was funner, they were all amazing. There were some good times and fun friends to hang out with. I went canoeing, rock climbing, and repelling. Now if I could just wakeboard I would be happy!! I had a great time hanging out with my kids, it was fun to have Colton, Caitlin and Conner all there with me. I usually just have Caitlin with me because of Girls Camp, but I got to experience dealing with the boys. Fun!! Thank you Conner for saving me from a broken Canoe!! I hope the kids enjoyed it as much as I did.

Back to School , Back to Reality!
Well School is Back in Session!!! I actually miss all the commotion! But I really love having a schedule and knowing what I am doing during the day. Colton and Caitlin have their first hour together , which is Spanish. They are so funny, they wished that their dad would have taught them spanish growing up. They said it would have been very helpful to them in passing this class!! To bad Dad didn't even grow up speaking spanish!! Conner and Cam are loving their new school. Conner is making lots of new friends even friends of the opposite sex (which I am freaking out about!!) I don't know why! I have girls calling the house a couple times a day, and he gets mad if he misses a call! It is so funny. And lovely Camryn is having a great time in 2nd grade, she has a little girl in her class named Emma, and they WERE sitting by each other until this week, the teacher said that they talked to much. So now she is sitting in between two boys!! Yuck, Camryn Says! And Cade started Preschool with Ms. Nikkii and the first day , I told him I was going to go and leave him there, and he told me Okay, go already, I'm good!!! So I think he will have a great time. Especially because his good buddy Paige is in his class. He really likes her, and he said , Mom she is the only cool kid at my school!! So anyway everyone is happy and back on schedule. It is going to be a great Year!!!
