New calling at Church!


This Sunday I was released from my calling in Activities :( (I actually really enjoyed it for the few months I was in it!) and accepted 2 new callings.... I'm now an assistant with the Beehives in Young Women's(12-14yr olds)... as well as Assistant Ward Camp Leader! I'm a little overwhelmed but very excited to be able to work with the Young Women! We have a HUGE ward... and lots of Beehives... this last Sunday we had 14 Beehives! Yowza! Looks like we'll have our hands full! "Busy as a Bee".... you might even say! ;) I'm also excited to be able to get involved with Girls Camp! Sure is different than the A-frames we had!

BY THE WAY: Anyone working in Young Women's... if you are doing a googlesearch for images to use... don't type in "young women" and assume that google is going to know what you are looking for... I won't tell you WHAT showed up... but needless to say I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything related to faith, integrity, virtue... ecetera! ((Virtue is the newest YW value... I didn't know they added a new one! and they changed the theme a bit at the end!)

Bumbling Beginner Blogger....

Soooooo.... Here's a funny story... Audrey kept mentioning how she couldn't ever see her comments on my blog... I kinda just didn't think about it... I don't really know what i'm doing anyway... So I figured I'd try to figure what she was talkin about... And I found all the comments from people since I started the blog! So instead of going through each post i'm just gonna reply to em all here:

So here we go...

Miss Lyndsee-- I'm so sad I didn't see this til now! I used to live in MoVal and I would have gladly rescued you! :) We don't live too far... it's about a half hour away or so... Is it your husband's family thats there? I grew up there... next time you come this way let me know.... My cells on my facebook so you can just call me up and i'll come running!

Melissa Silcock-- SO glad I found you! I think about ya all the time... Especially everytime I have a cheesecake! Littlebabyslickrock is just adorable... along with the rest of your wee ones! I'm gonna email you after this! And yes... my husband is a cutie... haha....

Marcia- Have you heard of California? You should move here. :) I hadn't said it in like... a week so I figure I should. Also... Thanks for defining tagging for me... If I ever tag someone.... You'll be it first... lucky girl!

Melissa Hyde- Little belated but we got that worked out... Your blog is so dang cute... I miss your craftiness to feed off of...

Di- We have 1 dog and 2 kitties... I can't believe you have 3! I'm going crazy with 2! I love em so it's not like I'd ever get rid of either of em... but my limit to indoor cats is one from now on... We have an automatic litterbox and it still drives me crazy how much those things poop!

PamelaKay- Never bounced a check... but overdrafted via checkcard;) I'm not THAT good! ((Up at Ricks when I was living off nothing.... we didn't even have cell phones remember! How Arcaic!))

Christian and Stephanie- Yes... Meteor Showers at Ricks! Also a few in Cali and Utah... But the Idaho ones were the best.... climbing up on some potato mills... or out in the sand dunes.... nothin like it...

Shannon- Happy belated B-day... now i'll never forget your birthday:) And thanks for the congrats!

Anyhew... So I'm learning! gimme a break!

Our only Christmas Pics!





Sooo... we didn't take many pictures at Christmas I guess! This is all I have from Christmas... Just a "family portrait" with Bailee-gurl and then one from Christmas morning! We broke away from tradition this year and went out to Danny's sister Trish's house for Christmas Eve... we played games and had some grub... Chad and Dave taught... well... tried to teach us Dominoes. Turns out you don't just stack em up in long trails and then push one over... there's an actual game. Chad had all these funky sayings... that's Chad. Anyways on our way back we were able to still make it to the end of the Mattsen's Christmas thingy... but we missed the Mallow fight:( We spent Christmas Day at my parent's house.... they got their Christmas present early... they now have the largest TV of anyone I know. It's massive. We love it. Brandon gave em a Blu-Ray for Christmas so we basically zombied out on the TV all day! We had a great relaxing day!
