FAMILY Pictures 2013

I felt silly wanting to get family pictures done this year. It kinda felt like we were taking engagement pictures again .  After 3 1/2 years of being married, all the pictures hung in my house are our wedding pictures. And things have changed a little in the past 3 ish years . We've struggled together, celebrated together, got angry AT each other; but the best part is we grew together! So why not document those changes.  I look at these pictures and I see a lot more then just two people. 3 1/2ish years ago we took engagement pictures as a soon to be married couple. This day we took pictures of a family!

I am so grateful for my awesome sister in law Bonnie for taking these pictures! 

                                     I love my little family!

FLOWERS!

This year I loved growing my flowers. I started about 50% of these flowers in my house back in March. It was so fun to watch them grow and enjoy the beautiful flowers all summer/fall

My Zinnia and Comso’s back in March

Not great quality pictures, my camera phone was all that I had at the moment.

Now on to my 2nd favorite time of year.....FALL!!!!!!!!!

Girls Camp '13

I was put into the Young Women's last September.. Not going to lie I was, and very much still at times very intimidated with this new calling. I work with wonderful ladies which makes it easier. In July it was time for girls camp; I drove up Wednesday and stayed till we came home Friday. I made it just in time for the hike(cringe!) I was put on the 3rd year hike. A 7......mi-hi-hi-i-i-ile hike! Ya I pretty much died. Those girls were CHAMPS. Don't get me wrong, I love nature and camping...I just don't understand why you would want to walk UP the mountains.

I have loved getting to know all these crazy girls!

Made it .....to...the....tooooop!!  ( Look at that red face, I wasn't lying when I said I died!!!)

This is what we were hiking all that way to see.  It was beautiful! But I was tempted to just have the girls roll me back down the mountain by the time we reached this place.

Dietrich Branch Young Women's (we were missing a few)

Love these ladies!

The theme for Girls camp was "NO ONE LEFT BEHIND"
we had to decorate our own shirts for camp..... I'm not so good at the decorating part but I felt this was good enough.
