PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

Cub Scouts

Conner went to Scout Camp. He loved it. He loved the trading post- he loved it so much that he spent all of his birthday money on toys, $23 dollars worth of toys! I had no idea that he took his money. Hopefully he won't regret his decision.
The highlights: race water, archery, sling shooting, tent holding, mask making and being with friends.

Jeff and Jess





Today the Christiansen's came with us. Jeff got right up on the wakeboard and "killed it" He is good. Jess was awesome! She got up on her first try. Grace also skiied. She got up her first time. She was so brave to try something new. Kyle is a good ski instructor.

At the Lake with the Bairds


Today the Bairds came with us to the lake. We weren't sure how Mike would do on the wakeboard but whatever happens all he needs is some icyhot. The girls loved making sculptures with the clay they found under the dock. Andrew came with us and the boys loved going on adventures. They swam across the lake to see what was on the other side. They played with clay, found baby birds and teased mom. One funny thing that Elizabeth said about her dad: After Mike took a spill from trying to slolam, Liz said., " See, my dad just fell- that's how good he is!"
