Cash's 1st YM Camp!

The time has come!! My boy was off to his very 1st YW youth camp!!! Wahoo! Can't believe he is old enough to go! I just remember when it was Penny's first girls camp! Well his first ym camp was a tough one! This was going to be a big challenge for him and mama was a bit nervous to send him off! Cash had to backpack everything he needed for 4 days! The hike was 3 miles in carrying his bag that weighed 30lbs! It was as big as him!!! I was so worried for him and you could tell when we wee packing him up and dropping off hi giant bag he was getting nervous! He kept saying "I'm cooked!" lol Poor thing! He was definitely getting in his head!

He was off bright and early! Daddy rode with him to Cedar! The youth all did a temple morning! Then Honz got them all pizza before sending them off to the mountain to hike into camp! So proud of both my boys!! Daddy wanted to be apart of the whole camp with Cash but just couldn't do it with out having cell service for work purposes! So he drove to Cedar and then came back home to work! 

Cashy loves going to the Temple! He had the best morning kicking off camp! Pizza at the park! Then off to hike into camp! What a great group if YM and Leaders!

He made it!!!! Yayyyy! When I received my first photo that Cashy made it I was so relieved! Wahoo! So proud of my strong boy! He is determined! When he gets in the right mind set he can conquer anything! They were broken into to different groups called tribes! Each group had to name their tribe! Cash named his tribe "Tough Nuts!" hahahaha That sounds about right coming from him! lol He bonded with these boys! He bonded with his leaders! He had his highs and had his lows! He made so many memories! He will never forget his1st ym camp that's for sure! He had so many stories to tell us! Loved all of them! Loved hearing what the leaders had to say about my Cashy too! Nothing but great things! They were so proud of him! I am so proud of my boy! 

He left a boy and came back a man! lol Cashy is home!! Yayyyy! We were all so excited to see him! Man it was quiet around the house with out him! He definitly keeps the laughter and fun going around the house! lol So we were all ready to have our sunshine home! All he wanted was CANES for food too! lol He ate bagged meals for 4 days and really only ate one of those bagged meals and lived off oatmeal and raw ramen! lol So he was ready for his Canes! hahaha! Oh and did I mention he had to filter his own water before drinking it! and he had to pack in his own cooker to cook all his food! Wow!! Tough living! Living off the grid! lol Love my boy! So proud of him! He was challenged and 100% accomplished it! He's one tough strong boy! He said he can't wait for his next ym camp! :) He had a blast!  Thanks to all the amazing leaders and dads that put the camp together and left their busy lives to be with these youth! Cash will never forget his 1st ym camp that's for sure!

We had such a great day! So proud of my Honz and his example and fellowship to Sysco! Chad has been by his side every step of his way through his baptism process! Next up Sunday Fun-day! We were up early and off to do great things! Honz got to give Sysco the Holy Ghost! He gave such a powerful blessing! Probably one of the best yet from Honz! The Spirit was so strong! Then we rushed to our ward wear Honz spoke in sacrament! lol I tell you we don't stop! Honz's talk today was by far one of his best talks he has given! I love how he shared personal real life stories and ties it to the gospel and to his talk! We started our day strong with the Spirit and it carried in to our ward with Honz talk! Extremely proud to be his wife! He is truly the better half! I'm in "awe" of all that he does not only for our family but for all! He spreads all the light! Such a wonderful Sunday Fun-day!

Newport Beach - Summer Kick Off!

Day 1: Tuesday! Newport Beach here we come!!! Here's the rest of May wk 5- Summer wk 1! We spent the wk with sand between our toes loving the beach!! Wahoo! We usually leave the last day of school and head straight down to Newport! But this year the way the kids last day of school landed we waited to leave the day after Memorial weekend instead of being down here over Memorial weekend. By waiting we were able to pick up 2 extra days at our beach house for the same price we usually pay to be there over Memorial weekend! We went on the off holiday weekend and scored big time! We loved going this wk it's going to be our new time we go! Less busy on the off holiday weekend and cheaper to stay in our beach house! Win! Win! So here we go!!! We are off! We rented a mini van too that we absolutely loved because my Buick died! Sad but we loved our rental Kia mini van! It was awesome! We arrived! Got settled and were off to dinner! We don't mess around on the eating on vacation! lol

Well Piper being Piper she had to wiggle a tooth out same day! lol The whole drive down to Cali and the entire time at dinner she did not let up on wiggling her tooth out! Well "pop" out it came! lol She ended up loosing a tooth the same day as Cashy! They are even in  loosing teeth if you can believe that! Cash is super delayed in the teeth world and Piper right on sched! lol She couldn't even let Cash have 1 extra tooth lost then her! hahaha! He was like it hasn't even been 7 hrs and she has already caught up to me again! lol He's a good sport and never gets mad at her! She's the competitive one when it comes to teeth! lol Love my babies! Tooth fairy came to both that night!! Wow!
