June 2010

I hosted book club June 3rd. It was an outside potluck party. I had to make sure our yard was presentable. Then, the weatherman said it was going to rain so I had to clean the inside of the house too!

I had my dance recital on June 5th. It turned out wonderful. I was so pleased. Then, we went to Rexburg for Barton Graham's blessing. Diedre and Brandon were such wonderful hosts for all of us crashing at their place.

The next week I worked for Waddell and Reed. On that Tuesday night I trained for cub scout day camp. On Friday of that week I took 10 girls to Angie and Kents cabin for the overnighter. We had dutch oven chicken and cobbler. We played games, studied the stars and had a devotional. Early the next morning we took them in the truck to overlook the valley. We also got to hike a bit. That morning we cooked our eggs on a tin can stove for breakfast. Mike, Bishop Schley and Kent taught the girls how to shoot guns. Then, they went out in nature to draw what they saw. We had lunch and came home.

On Tuesday I taught a class at cubscout day camp so I worked all day Monday. On Friday we had our ward camp out. Dad, Destenee and I all shared a talent there. Adam and Kim and family camped with us. We roasted hotdogs, hiked, had a program and put our feet in the hotsprings. We had a nice breakfast and enjoyed the outdoors together while Thomas played in the fire.

The next week on Tuesday I went to pack meeting and presented the arrow of light. I dress up like an Indian and do this fun presentation.

On Monday the 28th I headed to girls camp and stayed until Thursday. I was the 4th year leader. I endured hot sun, storms, classes, food (mostly good but they only had white bread yuk) singing crazy songs, sleeping on cots, no showers and lots of noise. I enjoyed the sweet girls, the skits, the devotionals and testimonials and finally getting to do something besides sit when we got to clean the bathrooms. I did all the toilets. I enjoyed talking and the beautiful scenery.

Also during the month I attended an extra sacrament meeting to listen to Troy speak. Enjoyed Fathers day. Went to the Presbyterian church before sacrament meeting to listen to Jill Gertje play her flute. So wonderful. We made a trip t o Weiser to drop Corden off for Northwest Youth Corp. Had Destenee spend the night and travel to Weiser with us. Had Thomas spend the night and go to cub scout camp with me. Had Isabel come for the day and go to Discovery Center, play in the little pool enjoy her cuteness. Went to my moms to write family histories and last but not least went and visited Corden up above Idaho City for the evening. He has one week left. I didn't think I would endure the month but here it is July..........
