Double Beauty!

We were so fortunate to see the most beautiful double rainbow a few nights ago! It seems like it's a daily occurrence that we get wet by a small thunderstorm. This particular time the rain came down quite hard and I just happened to glance out the back window to see if it was letting up any. Instead of rain falling from the sky, it was filled with bright/vibrant colors! The kids and I ran out onto the deck to take it all in! To our amazement, it was a complete rainbow! When I was a child someone told me that a rainbow was a smile from God. It instantly made me think of this sweet primary song!

I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again. I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain. I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

Girl's camp with Kourtney!


This year girls camp was a special one for me. Not only did I get to spend four days with with some terrific girls, I was able to spend it with my own daughter Kourtney. It was one of those moments in my life I will never forget! In only a few short months she will enter the Young Woman's program as a beehive. We both think it's pretty exciting that I am her very first Young Woman's leader! This is definitely a time where my little girl transforms into a young lady. We had so much fun at camp this year. Our theme for this year was, "The Happiest Place on Earth". We spent four day at Palisades State park camping, canoeing, swimming, hiking, playing games, and swatting mosquitoes! The first night we were there we went and saw the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah witch was just a few miles away. It was a neat experience for the girls. Many of them were able to share their testimonies with others who didn't share their same beliefs. Kourt loved the lake! Canoeing was one of her favorite things! She was on the lake practically all day with her friends. My favorite part was hearing the sweet girls bare their testimonies of their beliefs and friendships during testimony meeting. Kourt bore such a sweet testimony and I was a proud mom with lots of tears! It was definitely a special time for me as a leader and a mother!
