JUNE STARTED OUT WITH BLITZ WEEK AT THE EXTENSION OFFICE. IT WAS JUNE 8-12, A WEEK LONG SEWING AND COOKING DAY CAMPS FOR ABOUT 75 4H KIDS. THEY MADE QUICK BREADS, HURRY UP MEALS, ZIPPERED HOODIES AND PJ PANTS. ON FRIDAY, JUNE 12, WE HAD A FASHION SHOW FOR THE THE KIDS THAT HAD MADE A SEWING PROJECT THEY WANTED TO MODEL. THEY WERE SO CUTE AND THEIR PROJECTS TURNED OUT SO NICE.
JUNE 16, MY BOSS, DEANNA AND I WENT TO THE CANNERY TO CAN 108 #10 CANS OF AIR. WE MADE TIN CAN STOVES @ 4H CAMP. I HAD NEVER BEEN TO THE CANNERY AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. IT WENT SO QUICKLY AND WE WERE IN & OUT IN NO TIME. WE WILL DEFINATELY BE BACK FOR SOME CANNING FUN.
JUNE 17-19 WAS 4H CAMP IN ALPINE, WY. WE WENT WITH BANNOCK (POCATELLO) COUNTY. WE HAD ABOUT 92 KIDS & 20 ADULTS. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO 4H CAMP SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER AND I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET TO GO BACK. IT LOOKED THE SAME. REALLY NOTHING HAD CHANGED.
ON THURSDAY, WE SPENT MOST OF THE DAY IN WORKSHOPS. WE HAD TIN FOIL COOKING, TIN CANS STOVES, RIFLE & ARCHERY, AND A HIKE WITH ICE CREAM. I HELPED WITH TIN FOIL COOKING. IT WAS A LOT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT. THEY DIDN'T TURN OUT VERY WELL, THEY WERE BURNT ON ONE SIDE AND RAW ON THE OTHER. BUT THE KIDS LIKED THEM AND DIDN'T COMPLAIN.
THAT NIGHT WE HAD A DANCE. WE JUST GOT AN AMAZING SOUND SYSTEM AT WORK AND DEANNA & I WERE THE BEST DJ'S EVER. THE KIDS HAD A BLAST AND ONLY A FEW OF MY SONG THEY DIDN'T LIKE. AFTER ALL THOSE HOURS, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MOST OF LAST WEEK OFF. I ♥ MY JOB!!!!
ON MONDAY, JUNE 22, MY SISTER LISA CAME TO IDAHO FALLS TO PICK CHENA & I UP FOR AN ADVENTURE (LITTLE DID WE KNOW WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN). WE WERE DROPPING OFF SOME LIFE JACKETS AND OARS FOR MY PARENTS & OTHER TO USE AT CEDAR BADGE. WE WERE SUPPOSE TO MEET ANOTHER COUPLE IN ALPINE, WY TO DROP OFF THE STUFF. WE GOT TO ALPINE ABOUT 8 PM. AFTER 3 1/2 HRS OF DRIVING AROUND LOOKING FOR THEM AND MAKING A TON OF PHONE CALLS, WE LEARED THEY WERE NOT STAYING IN ALPINE THAT NIGHT. FRUSTRATED & UPSET, WE LEFT THEM AT THE PARENTS TRUCK. THEY HAD HIKED UP TO LOWER PALISADES LAKE AND LEFT THE TRUCK IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER WE DROPPED THEM OFF @ 11:30 PM, WE WENT BACK TO SODA SPRINGS FOR THE NIGHT. CHENA WAS GOING TO STAY WITH LISA FOR THE WEEK WHILE BRAD & I WERE IN SLC.
ON TUESDAY, JUNE 23, BRAD & I LEFT FOR SLC. BRAD HAD WORK TRAINING FOR A FEW DAYS. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, WE WENT TO SPANISH OAKS GOLF COURSE TO DO A LITTLE GOLFING. I'M THE BEST GOLF CART DRIVER EVER. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE BRAD AROUND. HERE ARE FEW PICTURES.
AFTER WE WENT GOLFING, WE STOPPED BY GRANDPA BRADFORD'S HOUSE TO PICK UP ON ORGAN HE GOT FOR BRAD. IT IS BALDWIN FUN MACHINE. HE HAS ALREADY STARTED TO PLAY IT.
ON WEDNESDAY, WE WENT TO THE THE OQUIRRH MOUNTAIN TEMPLE WITH DAVE & MIQUELYN. THEY LIVE RIGHT BY THE TEMPLE. THERE IS SUCH A WONDERFUL FEELING INSIDE THE TEMPLES. I ♥ GOING THERE. I FORGOT MY CAMERA, SO I COPIED THIS PICTURE FROM LDS.ORG
ON THURSDAY, WE WENT BACK TO SODA SPRINGS TO PICK UP CHENA. BRAD LOVES A NEW ADVENTURE SO WE TOOK THE SCENIC ROUTE HOME. WE STOPPED IN LOGAN FOR DINNER @ CENTER STREET GRILL. I ♥ THAT PLACE! THEY HAVE THE BEST WRAPS EVER! THEN WE DROVE THROUGH LOGAN CANYON AND THROUGH BEAR LAKE. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT DAY/NIGHT. WE STOPPED IN GARDEN CITY FOR THOSE FAMOUS RASPBERRY SHAKES. THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!!

A couple weeks ago I was digging under my bed for my shoes (I'm really organized). As I reached under there my hand was stabbed by a jagged piece of my box springs. A little more investigating told me that 5 of the the 10 crossbars on there were cracked in half. I had always wanted a storage bed but when I saw the prices ($299 and up) online I was taken aback. I then found this link on Pinterest - Storage Bed Plans - and decided to give it a go. I priced the wood and decided that with a few tweaks I could make this bed for about half the price of a pre-made storage bed. Plus those IKEA beds and the like are made out of cheap particle board and veneer. To be honest, I really thought it was going to take me months to get around to doing it because I know how I usually procrastinate. I bought the wood on June 30th and started work on it July 4th. I just finished it today and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked I actually complet...
Tomorrow is my honey's birthday. I'm wanted to wish him a happy birthday and tell him how thankful I am to have him in my life. I sure don't know where I would be without him. There are so many reasons why I ♥ him.....here are some of my favorite. 1. He is a worthy priesthood holder & is able to take me to the temple often 2. The amazing example he is to me 3. The way he looks at me and still gives me butterflies 4. The cute little boy smile he gets on his face when something makes him happy (usually BYU football, when they are winning :) ) 5. The way he takes care of me and assure him that everything is going to be okay, when I'm pretty sure they are not 6. The cute little love notes he leaves me 7. He is a fabulous chef & grill master 8. His ♥ for knowledge & learning and always wanting to make himself better 9. His hard work & dedication for everything he does 10 A. The way he lives his life through the gospel 10 B. Most of all for being t...
Okay I just wanted to brag a little. For working in Alaska for Royal Celebrity/Caribbean last summer, Brad and I both get basically a free cruise. We have to pay taxes and gratuities. So it works out to about $20 a day. Brad has been promising his parents for 3 summers that he would take them, so we decided to take both of our parents. We get two cabins on the boat, I'm not sure how all six of us are going to sleep but it will all work out somehow. We have to go on a stand by basis. We picked two Eastern Caribbean Cruises that leave in February. They both leave around our one year anniversary. So we get to spend it with our parents. One is an 7 day and the other is 8 days. We bought our plane tickets and its official. We won't know until a few days before the cruise if we get on but it will still be a fun adventure if we won't. Wish us luck, everyone needs a vacation from the snow in February. You can all count down with us, that is why I put the countdown on ou...
