A really BIG cookie

When I was in the Primary (teaching the 8-11 year old girls), I decided to set a good example by passing off the memorized Articles of Faith that I learned as a youth. I needed prompts on which one was which, but I passed them all off in one Sunday. I got a small candy for each one and the promise of a really BIG cookie. Then in two weeks (when I was officially put into the Young Women Presidency) I got that cookie. It was, really, really good! (Don't worry, I had help eating it.)


And for reference, the pencil had hardly been sharpened; it was a standard size pencil.

Spa Day

The Friday after we came back from Monterrey, all four of us girls did an at-home spa treatment. Our treatment included:

• Face scrub and masks (my cucumbers kept falling off!)
  
• Feet massages (complete with fuzzy socks afterward)
• Hand massages
• Toenail painting and fingernail painting - if we wanted it
  
• Fake eyelashes
• Tie-dying t-shirts

I loved the face scrub the best and I ended up saving a copy of the recipe.

And what did we see? We saw the Sea!

My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt-in-law and I all went to the coast for a few days after we got home from Girl's Camp. Besides getting a lot of catch-up sleep, we saw some lovely things.

In Pacific Grove

We saw multi-colored carrots at a farmers market and ate the most divine strawberries!

I modeled by a big stone whale.

In Carmel

I saw a lovely house

In Monterey
We went to the aquarium and saw many things:

A leafy sea dragon












Some hiding fish














Mating Penguins

And everywhere we went - WE SAW THE SEA

Girl's Camp 2011

My husband, mother and sister in law all attended Girl's Camp 2011 last week. We all had different jobs (my sister in law was a camper) but we were able to hang out some. My job was to help the girls have fun while cleaning. (I was co-in charge of the CAPERS.) I am proud of myself because I did a few things I didn't think I could do. Namely the following:

• Climbing a mountain after a break from exercise. It didn't feel bad at all.
• Repelling. We all did it - I am especially proud of my mother in law.
• Kept up with the pace of camp. I am glad I got time for naps.

I went to Church the next day and it was nice to have the girls recognize me. It made me a little sad that I don't work with them (I am in the Primary).
