This video has been circulating on You Tube and was put out by the church just before Easter. I thought it was good enough to share.

bonfire

when i went home for general conference i went to a bonfire with my high school friends. it was great to see them again, and to just chill and have fun. in the pix on the bottom left its Shantel, then me. in the middle is Kaden. on the top left its carrie, ashly, and some girl that was there. . . .when we were in high school kaden would always be with all of the girls, and it hasn't changed. all the guys were sitting around the fire talking and kaden was over with us. so we had to take a picture! he looks pleases with himself doesn't he? we had a lot of fun together so it was awesome. a lot of them were running through the fire. carrie of course caught her pants on fire when she ran through one time. i was watching her and when she ran out then i yelled at her, "Carrie! You're on fire!" she just calmly looked down at her pants and stomped it out as matt ran over to help her. it was so funny lol

THE SPIDER dun dun dun!!!!

So Vanessa and i are pretty much the biggest nerds/chickens! hahaha she had a spider in her room on her ceiling and she hates spiders more than i do, so she was too scared to do anything. i didn't want to help her because i hate spiders too, but since i love her i came to the rescue. (ha! me coming to the rescue about a spider, who would have thought?! haha) i got a newspaper and rolled it up, and stepped into her room. she was standing on a chair (and our chairs are very precarious, they might as well be called rocking chairs cause they are not safe to step/stand or even lean back when you sit on them) with a tissue in her hand looking fearfully up at a fairly big black spider. i told her i would save her, but if the spider fell on me then i would hate her forever! (just kidding of course) i got up on the chair, and it took me a moment to gather the courage to hit it, i was really worried it was gonna fall on me! i wacked it and it almost did fall on us!!!! we weren't sure where it had landed at first until it moved slightly and then vanessa attacked it by stomping on it. The funniest part though was when it fell we both screamed at the same time hahaha we are such chickens!!! it was a good moment though and we were laughing pretty hard about it.

Birthday Party Photos

We recorded the Happy Birthday song and her blowing out the candles on the video camera so I don't have very many pictures. But, she loves the princess dress and jewelry!
