Pic Update

Melissa called me yesterday saying the guy CAN NOT do our pics on Sunday.

As for my family wearing black I was planning on doing an entire set of just our family in black for my front room and family room. Separate from the big family sitting.

What ever the whole family decides on to wear we will have that to wear as well.

Picture specifics

Are we for sure if we are going to do pictures this weekend? If we are then I think that we should really discuss what to wear. Jen said she had wanted her family to wear black, and mom had suggested pastels. I just want to know so I can make sure I have clothes that match and don't have stains on them. I found this website with some info and pictures on what looks good for family pictures: http://www.facesinphotos.com/studio/what_to_wear.html Are we going to be doing it in the house? What time is Jen going to be getting back? You know if another week would work better we can work it out to come down another time. I don't want it to be any more stressful than it will already be.

Let's all put our ideas together until we come up with something that works for everybody.

Fam Pics

We are most likely going to be in town this Sunday. A roommate of mine is getting married Saturday so we will be in Provo for that. We may stay in Provo or in West Valley Saturday night. So we would be up for pictures on Sunday. What would we wear? We would probably have to plan ahead more than just a week to get us all "matching". But beside this trip down we don't have any plans right now to come down any time soon. Of course we could come down for pictures another time if we planned ahead. Let us know what is best so we can plan for it. By the way what time is Ellie's blessing?

Family pictures

I am posting a slide show of the pictures that I had edited so you can see if you want any of them. The Hongs would lke to take another set of family pictures for us because they feel like they didn't turn out very well and they have learned alot in the past year. So as soon as we can all get together we can do that.

Finally pictures!

We finally have family pictures from last summer! I ordered some today from Costco and will let you know how they turn out. We had a fun day today, our water heater started pouring out water from the top and all over the floor. Luckily Sarah saw it and eventually we figured out to hook up a hose and drain it. It must be the week for broken things.

Dutch oven

Hey Jen what was that website where you found all the really good dutch oven recipes on? Does anyone have any dutch oven dessert recommendations?

nature

These are the pictures of nature that I took. I hope you like them. I do, some of them actually look like professional pictures. Let me know how you like them.

A change

I made it so the comments aren't sent to everyone each time. That way you won't get bogged down by family website stuff. I am still going to have each post sent to you, but if you want me to take you off individually I can do that.

Girls Camp

Girls Camp was SO much fun. The theme was "Camp Survivor" I was a fourth level a.k.a. tribe sariah. (that means that next year I get to be a J.L. (junior leader) I am SO excited! It was stake girls camp but, luckily we slept with our wards this time! I was SO happy. I mostly hung out with the 4th ward, until Kirsten(one of my best friends came up on Friday morning. EARLY morning too. They showed up just in time for Breakfast so that means that they left before 6 a.m. WOW! I was a day late for girls camp because I went to the American Idol concert. Which was SO much fun! Me and my dad went up on Wednesday morning. dark and early. Melissa left a day early so that she could go on a boating trip with the Young single adults. Me, and Kirsten, and Becki Rausch took SO many pictures! (Becki is the one with the red hair, Kirsten is the other that's not me) Girls Camp was so much fun. I had such a fun time. Me and my friend Missy pulled a prank on the fourth ward. We T.P.ed one of their tents and we put toilet seat covers on their trailer. Then WE PLASTERED the bathroom with the toilet seat covers, Khristine Alvarado helped with that part, Then we put Bras on MY tent. that was SO much fun! The next morning Becki, Kirsten , and Melissa wore then over their shirts and they got in trouble. Well, Kirsten and Becki did anyway. Me, Dad, Kirsten , and Becki had to stay a little bit after to make sure everything was done. So we left about a half hour later than every one else. The slide show is mostly of me, Kirsten, and Becki. Ha ha Getting home was the BEST part. except I had to vacuum out the suburban BEFORE I took a shower. But, the shower was Amazing! It was the BEST shower I have ever taken in my Entire life! I rubbed my head with shampoo for like more than 5 minutes! It fely SO good to be CLEAN! I LOVED it! (I think I am getting pretty good at these. their fun to do though.)

Tea time

We were invited over to my friends house for a tea party! I had no idea she was going all out. When we got there all the girls were trying on princess dresses and jewelry, it was so cute. The girls were treated like little princesses and the boys were the kings so they had to sit up higher than everyone else. She even made a little cake and finger foods for them. It was so much fun that I have decided to theme Leahs birthday party around it. We want to have it on Saturday the 26th of July. Will you be here Janelle?/

Sarah's new look

I got a haircut and I really like it. It is so much shorter. I got layers and bangs, which I love! I didn't have enough hair to donate and keep it long enough so I only got about 5 inches cut off. look how long it was before I cut it. I put a before and after so that you could get the full effect. ignore my weird stuff, thats how I take pictures. ha ha

First try

Here goes my first attempt! I might need lessons next time I see you Janelle! I'm looking forward to the family reunion in a month. How about the rest of you? I thought it would be fun to bring materials for the girls to make cards sometime while we are there, or gift tags for Christmas and birthdays. What do the rest of you think?
