Blake Powers!

You know how I like to name drop! Get this, my Brother in law is famous! He has his own mentalism/hypnotist show! Check him out on-line or in the papers for show times as his shows are still going strong even though I am posting this like 8 months later:).
The show was so fun but I said I would only come if he didn't make me go on stage!

Some of my family members "took one for the team" (me) and provided a hilarious show!

Blake's assistant or intro act had Kimi picking a certain card number etc...

Blake (don't worry I will never tell your other name:) did a great job on stage!

Entertainment...

Matt could also do a show by himself!

Lots of fun scenarios introduced...

Everyone who was roped in!

Julie, Kimi and Matt showing us their moves!

More action!

I think we had Thriller or something going here...so funny!

Wrapping it up...

Final moves

More Thriller moves

More!

Work it Julie!

"Bringing them back" and then taking the final bow! Great show! Way to follow your dream Blake!! XO

Kennedy's Pre-School Graduation

Our baby is graduating! She was able to attend both years of pre-school with her cute friends! We would often trade off having the girls over to one of our homes after school to give the other Mom's a few more minutes to get errands done.
Miss Liza has been wonderful teaching both Kennedy and the boys!

Mama D and Grandpa were able to come!

All of the girls had a crush on Cooper! I had to get a picture of these 2 cuties in case they needed it for their wedding video someday:). I am a meddling Mom who is always on the lookout for her babies!

Aren't they adorable?:)

We are so proud of you Ken-D!

Saying their "good-byes" as they are all going to different schools next year!
Congratulations Kennedy for knowing your letters/sounds and singing the loudest (hilarious) on the songs etc. You are so precious!

Girls Camp Kick-off

Girls Camp kick-off was a blast! We held it at Sister Earl's big and beautiful backyard!
After a spiritual start, the girls got into tent groups and came up with tent names with a purpose.

The theme for the stake was: United We Stand. We just built on their ideas to make our ward camp the strongest we could.

The girls in our ward are amazing with their unity, service, and friendship with one another!

The older girls are the "YCL's" (youth camp leaders) who really take an active part in leading the younger girls. Sheridan is amazing and was one of the YCL's who came up with the whole theme for our ward (using the whole "knight" theme complete with the helmet of truth etc).

After all of "the work" was done, we made smores to get us all pumped up for the mountains a few weeks later!

My Beehive adviser loves serving in YW as her daughters are all in there! (#3 daughter came in to YW just as I was getting released in August:(.

Brandy and Kathleen (the 2 Beehive advisers)...we have had a LOT of laughs and good times together. There is something about working closely together in callings that seals your friendships for life! Girls Camp here we come!
