Ashlen... what would we do without you

Eating corn on the cob naked with Grandma and getting into make up while sissy was asleep...priceless.

WOW girls camp

The theme this year for girls camp was, WOW, Women of Worth.  Our stake did a wonderful job with this and our girls had a fabulous time.  I got to go along and hang with the cool girls from our ward, church, this was my 3rd year.  I love to be with the girls and see how much their testimonies of Christ grow throughout the week.  We had fun!!!!  I especially love being with my beautiful Lauren.  She was a 3rd year camper this year so next year will not be in the ward cabin any longer.  If I go next year it will be different without her being right there by me.  Here are some fun pictures of the week.

We shared a cabin with another ward and all the girls got a long great, too great in fact, getting them to stop talk and sleep was a chore!!!  I think this picture was taken about 1 am.

Since I was the one always taking the pictures, this is the only picture of myself.  Not bad I might add.

Sis Brown, Becca Turpin, and Lauren after going on a run down the "black snake", a water slide with yucky green water.  The girls didn't mind.

Before the "black snake".  Lauren, Laura Mickle, kamryn hair, and Samantha Buker.

fun times

Here are some fun photos of the past week to share...

Lauren and her fun friend Bridget decided to dress up Taylor Swift style for the last day of school.  Super cute I think!!!!

Ashlen being her crazy hair self.  She is getting the potty training down pretty good these days!

Peytens teacher this year was Ms. Haas, she was also Austens teacher in 4th grade.  We loved her, she was a great teacher!!!!!
Lauren did something weird to this picture, but it is her and Nikki at Peytens paint ball party.

Austen thinking he is a cool dude.

Peyten and Iain Burtch at Peytens bday party.

Peytens bday party this year was a fun one.  He wanted to do paintball so we decided to pick the hottest day and go for it.  You have to layer on clothes or pay the price for pain.  Lauren and her friend went to make things interesting.  They did, they pretty much dominated the boys, go girls!!!!  Peyten wasn't feeling very good so I took him to the doctor later that day and he had an ear infection that had burst.  Oops, sorry about that little fella. 

Princess Lauren

Ok, again it's my blog so I am keeping it real.  I happened to have a daughter named Lauren.  She is a pretty awesome kid, let me tell you why.

Takes all honors classes and gets good grades.

In the honor society

Plays volleyball at a high level

Super beautiful

Has great friends that I trust and like

She isn't into the "boy" thing yet.  Still thinks they are stupid.

Talks to her friends about her church

Always is willing to help me out 

She is my best friend

She is funny and likes to laugh

Thinks her parents are still cool

Always respectful to other Adults

but....... She is stubborn at times and can beat the crap out of her brothers if provoked
