Oh snap!

I was just told today that I have to give a lesson in Relief Society in three weeks. What?!! So I had a lesson all prepared for July, but ended up going out of town. I took three months to study and research this lesson and then gave my insight to the sister who took over for me. Snap, now I have no lesson and three weeks to put together what I usually work for three months on.

I need a lesson idea. Have any of you had a really good lesson that you want to share some insight from? Help me please.

The 4th of July

We were able to go to the Bowles cabin in Heber for the 4th and enjoy the small town pleasures that are "the 4th."


HIGHLIGHTS:

-New flooring, paint, couches and curtains in the cabin. A new fresh place to stay, Hooray!!

-Cooler weather

-Taking cheesy pregnant pictures of Debbie (I hate cheesy pregnant pictures, they make me want to throw up.)

-Gus getting dirty and having fun.

-Seeing all the Carpenter family.

-Fireworks (the best fireworks in Arizona, I'm sure of it)

-Small town parade, complete with trampy cheerleaders in patriotic bikinis. Oh yeah, and they gave out Otter Pops.

-Eating crap all weekend.

What's the draw to Wicked?

Now I finally get it. I had to find out why everyone loved this play so much, so I went to see it. It is awesome, and far better than what I expected. It was kind of like the Twilight books, people will tell you how awesome they are but until you check it out yourself you don't really understand it.

I like Gus a lot, he's really funny. He makes me laugh all the time and I love that he will let me coerce him into doing things that are silly. Here are his latest and greatest exploits.

ACTIVIA

Warning to consumers: Warning, Activia contains a probiotic that may cause explosive diarrhea in individuals that are not constipated (don't mess around, this is serious stuff.) Feeding Activia to children may result in late night bouts with explosive diarrhea. In order to avoid this response do not share your Activia with any child, regardless of how persuasive they are.

Family Reunion

We had a great time at our family reunion this weekend. We did a quick trip to Glenwood, NM. We hiked an awesome trail, played with cousins we don't get to see to much. It was good fun had by all! Thanks Backus family for coordinating such a fun event.
