SLUMBER PARTY FUN!!

Last Saturday (October 17-18th), we had an awesome Enrichment activity... Recipe Exchange Slumber Party.
We had everyone bring a side or main dish and a copy of the recipe. I think we had enough food to last us for 5 days!! It was so awesome!! We had an AWESOME time!!
We had a fantastic devotional from BethMarie about What IceCream Personality we are; Vanilla, Chocolate, ButterPecan, Chocolate Chip, or Strawberry. It was so funny!!
The best part of the night was CREPES, Beth H. taught us how to make them!! OH SO DELICIOUS!!! We then just hung out and talk... ya know like girls do!!

The next morning, we had a very choice experience. We went to help set up for a fundraiser carnival, who I later found out was for a guy I went to high school with, Christian Nielson and his wife. They were hurt in a bad plane accident. He is doing pretty good, however she is still going through major recovering. It was a humbling experience for me!!

Grandma & Grandpa Beach

In September, I took Kristin, Kylee, and David to G&G Beach for the weekend in Lakeside. We had so much fun!! We helped grandpa in the garden and learned a bit about gardening. We helped grandma move some year supply cans, and of course its not a trip to grandma's without a puzzle.
We had a blast picking corn too. David was up at 6am ready to do something, so he went and picked corn for breakfast. OH SO YUMMY!! Later that afternoon, we picked 10dozen of them!! Grandpa showed us the proper way to prepare for delivery. I just love the fall!!

Love the HAIR!!

So, I noticed I haven't updated anything in weeks...because its been some crazy times. I will have to make a slide show of all the events or something. I just wanted everyone to know...I'm still here!!

LABOR DAY BOAT TRIP

Boy did we have a GREAT time!!!!
Derek was so awesome and took Kristin, Kylee, David, Robin & myself on his boat!!
Now if you know the BEACH clan...we go big in every way!! So, you can image what it was like in the broad with ALL of us!! Hilarious is an under statement!! It was the best balancing act of all times!!
The best was when we hit a wave just right and got to much water in the boat. We first tossed the kids in the water...with life jackets on just so you know...as we tried to get rid of the water. NO success. We had to end the boating there.
We took the kid to a small beach area were they swam and tried to bury David. Then we ate a little lunch on top of the picnic table because there were so many ants, then headed home!!! What a great day!!!

I LOVE THE JONAS BROTHERS

Call me crazy but these guys rock!!!

I was on the RADIO!!!!

Today was a great and very cool day!! This morning on KNIX Matt & Ben were talking about mustaches and facial hair. So they posed the question "Why do men get so attached to their staches and what are the reasons you wouldn't shave your's? And who are the sexy men with facial hair?" I called was lucky enough to get through!!! Yes, I was on the radio with Ben & Matt. I told them about my dad & his 30+ year old mustache. My reasoning (not really knowing my dad's reason) I told them "how ugly it would looked if he shaved & it left a big white spot because it never got sun!" They responded that a little sun could fix that.

I then mentioned the "Tombstone" charactors (Kurt Russell, Bill Paxton and Val Kilmere) and how good-looking they all were because of facial hair!! Which totally made Ben's day because he could then do a Bill Paxton impression!! Bythway, he does an awesome impression too!!

It was a great wasy to start the day!!! Hurray for FACIAL HAIR...well men's!!!

Life is busy...

Life has been one big blur for family and Relief society events!!
We had a great time last Thursday (June 12) when we were all at Gecko Grill for our new tradition Father's day dinner. Well we were "all" almost there Talon was still in Utah. We really missed him.
Friday night was our first enrichment for the new RS presidency and it was a great success. We had over 30 sisters show up!! Great food and even better time!! I even had a good excuse to wear my pink bridesmaides dress. Yes, after 9 years I can still fit in it!!! :-)
Saturday was awesome!! We all got together, with Derek leading the way, and we got dad a sweet grill for Father's day! So, we bought some yummy yummy carne asada. Now thats some good eats!!!
Sunday back the RS responsabilities...teaching the lesson had me stressed (as normal). But thanks to the heavens it went really well. To finish the weekend it was back to mom& dad's for more grillin'!!
I just hope sleep comes soon!!!

Check out my Slide Show!

Changes have been made... can you find the new photo!!!

The world has gone crazy....

Ok... it hasn't gone completely crazy, but I sure feel like I'm being pulled in every direction, hence the picure!! =)

Challenges always make us stronger and better. For those of you who don't know, I was called as the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society. Now especially for those who DO know me this isn't a calling in my top 10 choices for ways to serve in the church. However, I have alreasy felt the Lord guide me and change my attitude greatly!!

To much PRESSURE :-)

So I finally gave into the pressure of the family and freinds... I HAVE A BLOG!!
