So much to update and little time to do it. I haven't updated my blog in awhile, sorry guys but with good reason. I'm trying to get back in the habit and so here is what we have been doing. Youth Conference, Youth Conference, Youth Conference!!!! We've been up to our ears in Youth Conference stuff but have now started getting back to normal though for me, it's not Girls Camp, Girls Camp, Girls Camp. I'm just glad I'm not serving on stake! I just have to worry about my ward girls! So, I have no YC pics because I accidently deleted them but hopefully they can be saved and Girls Camp is upcoming but in the meantime, this week I had my girls who showed up to activities paint something to do with the Camp Theme! Be What You Believe, and here is the result! Enjoy!

Paul - Woodbadge
Alright, so Paul had his woodbadge ceremony and invited some of his family to participate. He had his nephew help him with the honors and it was sweet. Ben, Nick, & Jake all came in their scout uniform to help him celebrate this honor. If I listened correctly, the Woodbadge is the highest honor an adult in the Boyscout program can attain. It is the equivalent of 2-3 eagle projects. It was a lot of work and time!

Utah Trip
Leslie & I had an awesome time in Utah! It is beautiful there with the mountains .. most of you know what I mean! Here are a few pictures of our adventure.
Park City
We spent a day in Park City .. nice shopping but expensive! We enjoyed it! We noticed the elevation was whipping our butts! hahahahah
Sundance - Yes, it's a community
Sundance is more than a festival, it's a community and was beautiful .. the road was definitely steep and the homes there were well hidden but other than that we saw a couple of ski slopes.
Provo Canyon - Holy Cow, Beautiful!

March Update
WARD GROWTH
Our ward split this month, it was a really big deal because none of us knew what was going on. We also didn't know who was doing what, everything was changing but we knew that this was a good thing. As we enter the church building for the last time as West Allis 1st Ward, Sherie had some things planned for camp night ... camp that we would not all be attending together as a ward. So here are a couple of pictures from this nights event. I forget the name of this game but as you can see everyone was having fun!
TEMPLE DAY
Later in the month, before we left for Utah .. Leslie decided to change her Temple date to include Paul. So last minute changes were made and we attended the Chicago Illinois Temple instead of the Draper Temple. It's ok, it was a great day. She was able to have a few of her favorite people. Here are a couple of pictures.

Last Day in Las Vegas
As I reflect on the time I spent here ... I am grateful to my husband who was very supportive of me (and came up with the idea) of coming here to help my brother in his move to London! I am also grateful for getting to know my neices and nephew and getting to see my brothers, sister, & mom. All the kids together except the baby - Jason. Who we were sad was not here to join in the fun! Here's a video of my brother playing dodgeball with the kids!
