serve-i-vor

*disclaimer* I got a new laptop and I'm still trying to figure it out, so when making this post trying to move my pictures around isn't as easy as my old laptop, so we are just going to deal with them being out of order, sorry!

This year both Deidra and Tiffany headed up to girls camp (OK beehive camp this year due to trek) This is Deidra's 2nd year and Tiff's 1st.

The theme this year was Serve-i-vor. They headed up to Christmas meadow's where one of our ward member's has a family owned cabin, and it is a beautiful place (I've been lucky enough to do a beehive camp up there before) .

As Tiff and other girl's are the "baby bee's" their hair was put into piggie tale's they got baby bottle's to drink out of and had binkie's attached to them. It was all in fun and from all the photo's I've seen, the girls got a kick out of it.

They left on Tuesday morning and stayed until Thursday morning. Mike was blessed enough to get off work early on Wednesday and head up for the night. He enjoyed the experience to be with our girls and their friends.

This first photo is of the last night there, it was during their Testimony meeting and the spirit you feel in these meeting's is amazing. Deidra clearly was feeling the spirit very strongly, (she didn't want me to post this picture because you can tell that she had been crying) I love this picture of her, just knowing what she was feeling brings me to tears.

Mike with the girls. He loved it. He even gave some of them a good scare while they were trying to do their "snipe" hunt, too funny!Not sure why this photo turned up so small, but I love this of Deidra, she is with her best friend Baily.
Another cute one of these great friends.
This is on Wednesday night, they were playing a game, (I forgot what it's called). This is our Bishop, love the game face, he's all about winning, just ask him. And he came in 2nd! Tiff is loving it!
Oh yeah, she's got a game face too.

The girls had a wonderful time! We missed them terribly, but knew they were safe and in good hands.

I'm so thankful for the Young Women's program. I'm thankful for all the experience's that my girls get to have, that I never did. I'm so thankful that they know the church is true, and that they know when to listen to the spirit to lead and direct them. Because I didn't have that at their age, looking back now, I sure wish I did. But I'm very happy knowing what I know now and what wonderful experience's I have been able to provide for them, after choosing myself to be Baptized. They are good girls, and I'm so lucky to be their mom.
